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".
EYES
Jay Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
이른 아침에 잠에서 깰 때면
네 두 눈을 생각해
꿈속에서도 맞추어 보았던
커다란 검은 티셔츠와
청바지 차림은 치워두고
내 곡선이 잘 드러나게
Your eyes, your eyes
비밀스레 속삭이던
그 밤, 그 밤 하늘의 별빛 같아
음악을 듣고 있지 않아도
내 마음속엔 봄 노래가
그 소리를 따라가면
어느새 난 네 앞에
그렇게 추위를 잘 타는 나
이 한겨울 밤에
온몸이 여름처럼 따뜻해
네 손길 덕분에
내 품 속으로 좀 더 깊이 들어와
하나가 될 것 같이
혼자서는 외로운 크리스마스
나는 너무 기다려지네
선물은 꼭 안 해줘도 돼
대신 네 머리 위에 리본 매
Oh girl (girl) all I need is you, ah
Your eyes, your eyes
비밀스레 속삭이던
그 밤, 그 밤 하늘의 별빛 같아
음악을 듣고 있지 않아도
내 마음속엔 봄 노래가
그 소리를 따라가면
어느새 난 네 앞에 woo
지금 이 감정이 영원할지는 몰라도
언제나 서로 기억해
사소한 실수를 하고
멀어진다 해도
우리는 절대 떨어지지 않아 never
Every time I love you I do, woo
Your eyes, your eyes
비밀스레 속삭이던
그 밤, 그 밤 하늘의 별빛 같아
음악을 듣고 있지 않아도
내 마음속엔 봄 노래가
그 소리를 따라가면
어느새 난 네 앞에
Baby baby baby oh huh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
그 소리를 따라가면 난 네 앞에

이른 아침에 잠에서 깰 때면
When I wake up early in the morning
네 두 눈을 생각해
I think of your eyes
꿈속에서도 맞추어 보았던
Even in my dreams, I have seen
커다란 검은 티셔츠와
Your eyes in a large black t-shirt
청바지 차림은 치워두고
Ignoring the blue jeans attire
내 곡선이 잘 드러나게
To accentuate my curves
Woo woo, 어느새 이렇게 변한 나
Woo woo, I have changed unexpectedly
Your eyes, your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
비밀스레 속삭이던
Whispered secretly
그 밤, 그 밤 하늘의 별빛 같아
Like the starlight in that night sky
음악을 듣고 있지 않아도
Even without listening to music
내 마음속엔 봄 노래가
There's a spring song in my heart
그 소리를 따라가면
When I follow that sound
어느새 난 네 앞에
Suddenly, I'm in front of you
그렇게 추위를 잘 타는 나
I handle the cold well like this
이 한겨울 밤에
On this winter night
온몸이 여름처럼 따뜻해
My whole body feels warm like summer
네 손길 덕분에
Thanks to your touch
내 품 속으로 좀 더 깊이 들어와
Come deeper into my embrace
하나가 될 것 같이
It feels like we'll become one
혼자서는 외로운 크리스마스
Christmas is lonely alone
나는 너무 기다려지네
I can't wait
선물은 꼭 안 해줘도 돼
You don't have to get me a gift
대신 네 머리 위에 리본 매
Just tie a ribbon on your head instead
Oh girl (girl) all I need is you, ah
Oh girl (girl) all I need is you, ah
지금 이 감정이 영원할지는 몰라도
I don't know if this feeling will last forever
언제나 서로 기억해
We always remember each other
사소한 실수를 하고
Make small mistakes
멀어진다 해도
Even if we grow distant
우리는 절대 떨어지지 않아 never
We will never fall apart, never
Every time I love you I do, woo
Every time I love you I do, woo
Baby baby baby oh huh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Baby baby baby oh huh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
그 소리를 따라가면 난 네 앞에
When I follow that sound, I find myself in front of you
