Jae Park from DAY6 Being a Ray of ☀️: An Endearing Thread ❤
To start this off, this is just a thread to appreciate and talk about how much positivity and light Jae has and continues to bring into this world! This is in no way to try and make him seem better than anyone or anything or to try and make his good deeds something to brag about!
so one of the first few things i wanna mention is how he used his 1st paychecks on others instead of himself! he took his parents on a vacay and donated to his church! his parents and his faith are very important things to him and it's heartwarming to see him be open about it!
even during his predebut days, he has shown to be selfless! he gave up his seat to an older man and later on in his career thanked a gpa and parents in general for allowing their kids to enjoy and see DAY6's concert 🥺 even in a stream he said that parents/older ppl love him!
his love and appreciation for his parents and friends is always so apparent! he gave his friend his guitar after he mentioned he wanted one just like that...his friend even thought jae was joking but he wasnt!!! instruments ain't cheap!
in the discord server (I witnessed this btw🥺) he asked us about the offensiveness of something just to be sure before he tweeted it (he did tweet the emoji after agshshd) and he also mentioned before how he'd really take his time before tweeting to make sure he doesn't hurt ppl
this is something that he really doesnt have to do and most people dont even consider but he protected the privacy of his fans by not uploading the pictures he'd take of the crowd during concerts 🥺
he has a business email that he checks from time to time and this one fan asked him some advice in one and then later jae commented on one of their youtube videos 😭😭
jae went live with fans to talk to them 1:1 (for free) and just wanted to listen to their stories and wanted to do it again! but he heard that some were unhappy/worried about the idea so he listened and worked to find another alternative so that he wouldnt hurt his fans :(
jae stated that on his bday he wanted to do something to help others, so he announced a campaign in coalition with JED and represent to raise awareness for mental health in teens and young adults !! he held a 24hr qna on HIS bday to bring more recognition to it and talk to fans
and after months of promoting it and constantly plugging it, we were able to raise and donate $100,000 to @jedfoundation 🥺
relating to his from friends campaign, jae has been a huge huge advocate for mental health awareness and has opened up about his experiences alot, especially in recent months. heres just one where he talks about it being ok to not be ok but ur not alone
jae participated in a charity life stream with his friends hosted by @poetristephanie in order to raise money for children in need ! he donated all of the money he has available to him on his card at the moment and risked being yelled at by his parents for the children 😭😭
in the middle of his hiatus, jae came back to twitter to help spread awareness about BLM and donate to help the cause. he spread this information to his over 1M fanbase which is a significant way to use his platform
tw // anxiety , panic attack
during his from friends campaign, jae went live with another mental health org to speak more in depth about his own struggles with anxiety and to raise awareness about it and answer questions in order to destigmatize mental illnesses
he's supported the LGBTQ+ community in so many ways and these are just some of the most blatant instances ! that same friend in the screenshot even got love advice from jae in the discord server and his crush was a boy and my friend is MLM!
jae made a tweet that was insensitive to native culture and he immediately deleted and apologized once he found out
Jae and DAY6 were apart of the EDM makeawish campaign where they met Amaya at their concert and talked to her! He went out of his way and bought her gifts and even an entire guitar with his own money 😭😭 https://twitter.com/teasaltshade/status/1249494689750843392?s=19
during an episode of HDIGH, an article he was reading for the show had the R slur in it and he replaced it with mental illness instead (he doesnt read the articles before the recording btw)
some other small things:
•adds tws to his streams
•hires/d artists from the fandom to do projects and art for him instead of hiring outside sources
•has been transparent about his flaws in order to help destigmatize idols being real people
•has thanked us for educating him
•doesn't monetize any of his solo projects and doesnt mind other people using his music for their videos/streams, etc
and so much more ! he is just constantly a source of comfort and light for so many people and he acknowledges that so he can always be his best and realest self!
oh even to this day, jae still adamantly claims that he cant call himself a rapper as he doesnt know enough about its history and culture in order to have earned that title !
he's also constantly being aware and cautious of his tone and humor so that everyone can understand him ! there are many instances of him stopping midstream to explain a joke or to reassure ppl he is joking n it's always without any hint of annoyance ! https://twitter.com/jaeparklover/status/1327909397192970244?s=20
no please, this is so sweet,,,a lot of people wouldn't even think to ask this,, (this is long before covid btw!)
him going to hug his parents during concerts will never not make me sob
he's just always wanted to make them proud 🥺
kris talked about jae for a bit when jae raided his stream on his birthday and teared up talking about how good of a friend jae is and how much he's thankful for getting to know him
jae and peter (peter park) hadnt known eachother that long and yet jae wished him a happy birthday via video and peter has always spoken about how kind and good of a friend jae is whenever he is asked !
jae was interviewed by hachubby and was encouraging her and complimenting her music and you can see him trying to stifle his smile and her being surprised/flustered🥺
even before jae himself started streaming, he promoted and supported his friend dennys twitch and has also donated bits and subs to him too! this isnt his first or last instance of helping promote and support his friends 😭
he was even helping another friend start up and promote their channel not too long ago !
jae went live with @MAXMusic and max himself said he felt like he and jae were best friends eventhough they hadnt even met yet 🥺
jae also went live with @_DPRLIVE and they had only really met twice (one time wasnt irl cause of jaes anxiety and they accommodated to him 🥺) but he said that he feels like he's really close to jae and that jae has good energy ! he also said he loves and has love for jae
tw // self harm mention

during a fansign jae saw op's selfharm scars and looked them in the eyes and gently ran his fingers over them and op said they havent self harmed since
i was watching his stream (kristofer yee) and he was talking about how he wasnt doing so great and then jae suddenly joined and he noticed how kris seemed off so he was making jokes and donating to his channel to try and cheer him up https://twitter.com/jaeparklover/status/1338151115188281352?s=20
jae is so supportive of his members too! he was playing a game but sum1 reminded him of the Even of Day vlive and and said he has to go watch them and even got denny to watch the vlive and mv on his stream eventho dmca was something to worry about
hehe, his reply to my tweet talking about how much he loves where the sea sleeps (he still talks about how it's his favorite day6 song to this very day!!! and he encouraged us to vote for EOD on music shows)
jae went live on ig and discussed how the internet has created a toxic culture for youth and is just breeding hate and negativity and he also said he really doesnt understand discrimination and hate based on skin color and was so passionate discussing these issues
jae helped voiced one of the characters for a fan's webtoon series when he didnt have to ! please go check out her work as well, she is very talented https://twitter.com/_jjolee/status/1348791620313997318?s=20
