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".

The lyrics to Jay Park's song "Up And Down" are about taking someone on a wild ride through life, regardless of where they want to go. The chorus repeatedly states “I’ll take you up and down, I’ll take you all around,” promising to show the person a good time no matter which direction they choose to go. The verses talk about going out and having fun, living in the moment, and not worrying about the future.
The lyrics also mention holding on tight, implying that the ride will be bumpy and exciting. The lines “Oneul bameun nahante matgyeobwa/Naeil hal il isseodo nan molla” translate to “Hold on tight, I don’t even know what will happen tomorrow.” The song encourages the listener to let go of their worries and enjoy the present, with lines like “Let's go-o-o-o-o, / Oneul bam jeulgeoumeul wihae,” meaning “Let’s go for tonight’s excitement.”
