Get To Know Jae, Former K-Pop Star Contestant and Current Member of Day6

Kapanlagi.com – Park Jae Hyung, also known as Jae Park, is a guitarist, vocalist, and song producer of the band Day6 under the management of JYP Entertainment. Jae was born on September 15, 1992. Park Jae Hyung is not his real name given by his parents. Brian Park was the name given to him when he was born. However, after some considerations, his name was changed from Brian Park to Park Jae Hyung.

The guy who is now 27 years old was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When asked in an interview with Eric Nam on the DIVE STUDIOS YouTube channel, Jae admitted that he doesn't know why he was born in Argentina. Jae suspects that his mother was pregnant with him while working with his father there, which is why he was born in Buenos Aires.

After being born in Argentina, Jae and his family moved to Canada for a short period of time. Then after moving from Canada, Jae and his family moved again to America and decided to settle there. Before becoming a member of Day6, he had never lived in South Korea. However, the singer of the song "Letting Go" remembers that he had come to South Korea several times when he was a child.

Before joining Day6, Jae participated in a talent search show in South Korea. Jae joined the SBS survival show, K-POP STAR season one, and was known as one of the top six contestants. After being eliminated from the show, Jae then signed a contract with JYP Entertainment along with other contestants, Baek A-Yeon and Park Ji Min.

After signing the contract and going through days as a trainee, Jae was finally planned to debut in a band called 5Live. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the name 5Live, 5Live is a band group consisting of Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Junhyeok. The band was once promoted in a survival show owned by YG Entertainment, WHO IS THE NEXT: WIN. In mid-2015, Dowoon joined 5Live and with his joining, the band's name changed to Day6. Finally, in 2016, Junhyeok terminated his contract with JYP in early 2016 due to personal reasons.

Becoming an official member of Day6 did not mean becoming a barrier for Jaehyung to explore the entertainment world further. Through his good public speaking and English skills, Jae was recruited to become the MC of the AFTER SCHOOL CLUB show which aired on the Arirang television channel. In the show, he was accompanied by Park Ji Min and Kevin Woo. The peak of it all, after 2 years of hosting the show on ASC, Jae was declared graduated from his role as MC on July 17, 2018.
