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".
I Love You
Jay Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I love you
I'm singing girl 'cause I really need to know
Is it for real and how deep does it go?
Do you love me? 'Cause I love you
Just know that I will always be the one that you can run to
Hear it, girl
보고싶었어
가끔 생각했었어
계절을 타는 건지 니가 그리워서
이젠 숨기지 말고 말해 고백하라고
내가 아파했던 그만큼 사랑하자고 oh (yeah, huh)
Ooh, baby, baby 무엇보다 너를 사랑해
결혼해서 행복하게 사는 건 꼭 나랑해
바람에 못 날아가게 내가 꽉 잡아줄게
추울땐 옷도 벗어주고 널 꽉 안아줄게 (let's go) girl
If you love me, if you want me
더 세게 날 안아줘요 (안아줘요)
If you love me, if you want me
내게로 so tell me, baby
불 꺼진 가로등 뒤에 서서 둘만의 눈빛을 마주보고
Kiss me, show me
Really, really love me
날 안아줘요 나나나나
혹시 나와 똑같은 생각을 하는지
날 바라보는 눈빛이 뭔가 다른걸 (뭔가 다른걸 hey)
너만이 나에게 쉴 수 있는 집 (hey)
너 없는 내 길은 꾸불꾸불한 길 (hey)
바람이 불어도 날 막아주는 힘 (hey)
I want your love
I need your love (hey)
If you love me, if you want me
더 세게 날 안아줘요 (날 안아줘요)
If you love me, if you want me
내게로 so tell me, baby
불 꺼진 가로등 뒤에 서서 둘만의 눈빛을 마주보고
Kiss me, show me
Really, really love me
날 안아줘요 나나나나
내 가슴 한켠에 그대를 쓰고 oh
아무도 지울 수 없게 숨겨놓고
Yes, kiss me, show me
Really, really love me
온몸이 마비 된 것 같이 날
Hold me too tight (oh)
If you love me, if you want me (whoa)
더 세게 날 안아줘요 (you know I got you, girl)
If you love me, if you want me (yeah)
내게로 so tell me, baby (I'll never let you go)
불 꺼진 가로등 뒤에 서서 둘만의 눈빛을 마주보고 (it's just me and you)
Kiss me (it's just me and you), show me
Really (it's just me and you), really love me
날 안아줘요 나나나나
너만이 나에게 쉴 수 있는 집 (oh)
너 없는 내 길은 꾸불꾸불한 길 (oh)
바람이 불어도 날 막아주는 힘
(Oh) I want your love
(Oh) I need your love
(Oh) 너만이 나에게 쉴 수 있는 집
(Oh) 너없는 내 길은 꾸불꾸불한 길
바람이 불어도 날 막아주는 힘
