no bro. that was disrespectful. Remember how you and Jamie went well in ASC, and many times you guys hung out with your mutual friends like Eric Nam, Ailee... I decided to support you since the controversy regarding Day6 and JYP, I hoped you happiness and I like the Jaepil moment. I liked your HDIGH with Alexa so much, I heard it almost every day.
and now I don't know. you are not the one I have known anymore since you called Jamie a th**.
and sorry, that is not even an apology
