The rep told Newsen on the morning of November 23, "We learned this past 22nd that a certain media outlet known to be based in North America has written up an article on Jay Park being involved in a drug scandal. The article in question is not true at all. We express our regret at this groundless report. We attempted to continue reaching the media outlet to request the correction of the groundless article but because they're not a Korean outlet, we didn't know their contact info, so we told a rep [of the media outlet] that's in charge of capturing concert videos that we will take action if they don't take down the article. We must have reached them because they article went down. Jay Park himself is angry because the rumors aren't true."
