Park first appeared through MNET's Hot Blood, a documentary-style reality program that showed the future members of idol groups 2AM and 2PM in training, with Park finishing at the top spot with the most fan votes, and as 2PM's leader. On September 4, 2008, 2PM debuted with their song “10 Point Out of 10 Points” (10점 만점에 10점) on music program M! Countdown after the release of their first mini-album Hottest Time of the Day a few days prior. However, it was their promotions for “Again and Again” that catapulted the group’s status in Korean music, and earned them first place awards for a capped 3 successive weeks in music programs, SBS’s Inkigayo and Mnet’s M! Countdown in May of 2009.
On September 4, 2009, unfavorable comments towards Korea were found on Park’s personal Myspace account from 2005. The comments, written in English to a friend, were misinterpreted and mistranslated by Korean media, quickly spreading across hundreds of news articles. In what has been termed a show of “explosive nationalism”, netizens displayed overwhelming rage over the posts with many demanding for his expulsion from Korea and a petition signed by three thousand calling for his suicide. Park expressed deep remorse and shame over his past, forgotten words and issued an official apology. Despite this, on February 25, 2010, JYPE announced that they had permanently terminated Park’s contract with collective agreement among the other 6 members of 2PM.
On March 15, 2010, Park created his own YouTube channel, where he decided to revitalize his career and began uploading cover songs for his fans and officially marked his return to music after a long hiatus.
Since then, he has gone solo and has had activities both in America and South Korea, and has a mixtape and four studio albums; the latest being "Worldwide". His most recent single is "The Truth Is".
Jay Park has also starred in the movie "Hype Nation" and "Mr. Idol".

At first I didn't see it girl
Couldn't see past that smile and that fat ass
You said you don't party much
Acting like you came straight outta math class
Said you never met someone like me, someone like me baby, baby
I was caught up in your honesty, honesty baby, baby
I found out some thing's about you
Girl, tell me that this isn't true oh, no, no, no
I heard you know some of my crew
They told me the things that you do
I really hate to admit it but
Oh, girl I change my mind
No, girl you ain't my type
I seen this shit before
Girl, ain't no surprise
Oh, girl I change my mine
No, girl you ain't my type
I seen this shit before
Girl, ain't no surprise
So I'm having second thoughts about you
You, you
Thoughts about you, you, you
Thoughts about you, you, you
Girl, I really want it
But the homie's said
They saw you at industry parties
Dressing half naked, girl, working that body
Hanging round VIP
Only talking to the ones poppin' bottles
And who look like they be ballin'
You said you didn't know who I am
But I see you followed me on Instagram
Girl, I see you scheming with a fuckin' plan
Tryna' take my dollar like you uncle Sam
And I almost fell for it
But the homie's let me know
Let me know about you
So I'm a ignore it
Stay clear outta view, stay clear away from you
Can't ride in my foreign
No first class trips, no shrimp with the dip
This could've been you
Could've all been you, could've all been you, but
Oh, girl I change my mind
Oh, girl you are not my type
I seen this shit before
Oh girl, your no surprise
Oh girl, I change my mine
Oh, girl you are not my type
I seen this shit before
Girl, your no surprise
So I'm having second thoughts about you
You, you
Thoughts about you, you, you
Thoughts about you, you, you
Ooh, whoa, whoa, yeah
You looking' so good girl
I really wish you weren't but
The truth still is girl
You a fake ass hoe
You a fake ass hoe
We could've been together
I would've fucked you so good, girl
But it will never happen 'cause
You a fake ass hoe
You a fake ass hoe, whoa
You a fake ass hoe, whoa
You a fake ass hoe, whoa
The song "2ND THOTS" by Jay Park is all about having second thoughts about a girl and not wanting to be with her because of her behavior. At the beginning of the song, the artist describes how he was impressed by the girl's honesty and straightforwardness. However, after finding out about her reputation through his crew, Jay Park starts having doubts about her intentions. He learns that the girl is a regular at industry parties, dresses half-naked and only associates with people who are rich and famous. The artist then decides to stay away from her and ignore her advances.
Throughout the song, Jay Park tries to convey the idea that he is not interested in girls who are fake and superficial. He emphasizes the fact that he doesn't want to be with a girl who is only interested in his money and fame. The lyrics also suggest that the artist is frustrated with the type of girls he is meeting and dating. He wants someone who is genuine and trustworthy, not someone who is trying to take advantage of him.
Overall, "2ND THOTS" is a cautionary tale about being aware of people's true intentions and taking the time to get to know someone before jumping into a relationship.
