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".

나 조금 당황했어 yeah
이런 경우는 처음이야 나한테 yeah
지금 어쩔 줄을 몰라 nah
나 원래 반대 입장이야
나를 만나려고 다들 줄 서있는데
근데 니가 나타나서 멘붕 상태야
내 자존심 갖다 버리고 와
우리 부모님이 반대하셔도
친구들이 바보라고 해도
I don't care 널 갖고 싶어 baby
솔로이길 바래
나도 얼마 전에 싱글 됐으니까
너를 너무 원해
제발 솔로이길 바래
내가 바쁘더라도 니가 원한다면

The lyrics of Jay Park's song Solo talks about a girl who caught his attention and made him rethink his stance on being alone. He was initially taken aback by how he was attracted to someone so quickly, especially since he usually takes the opposite stance of wanting to be alone. The chorus of the song repeats the line "I hope you stay single" as he asks this girl to consider being together despite opposition from their parents and friends.
In the second verse, Jay Park describes how he is uncertain if he is simply overthinking the situation or if his feelings are genuine. He acknowledges that many other girls are interested in the same girl, making him feel more anxious. However, in the bridge, he promises to take her on a magical journey and confesses that he already loves her, even if he does not yet know her name. The song is about being drawn to someone, despite initially wanting to be alone, and the uncertainty and excitement that comes with those feelings.
