Jay Park is receiving immense praise from Korean netizens.

About a month ago, Jay Park appeared on the YouTube channel FO Squad Kpop's talk show 'Taste of Culture' to talk about himself. In the video titled "The Side of JAY PARK that nobody sees | Taste of Culture", Jay Park sat down with hosts Lou and Ousmane to talk about his principles and values in life.

During the talk show, Jay Park shared his perspective on why he thinks South Korea values respect and modesty. The topic came up when Ousmane pointed out, "I've never seen a cocky Korean celebrity ever in my life. They're so humble" and pointed out the ostentatious tendencies of celebrities in the United States compared to the Korean celebrities.

That is when Jay Park shared his thoughts and explained, "Not a lot of people know this because a lot of people know K-pop, K-bbq, but Korea was annexed. It was illegal to speak Korean in Korea at one point. They tried to change all our last names (to Japanese), and took away our artifacts." He continued to share, "After gaining independence, the Korea war happened, millions of Korean people died, and all the cities were wiped out, so it took a while (to rebuild the nation)." The hosts were surprised as they did not know the history of the struggles the nation had gone through.

Jay Park also gave insight into the mandatory military service that all males in South Korea are subject to and explained, "So till this day, all Korean males have to go to the army. It's not some kind of tradition. It's because the war still technically has not ended. There's a peace treaty but it hasn't ended."

The artist elaborated that all citizens of Korea had to come together to raise the country back up so the Korean citizens do not flash their wealth as individuals. Hence, many Korean celebrities display a more humble demeanor.

The hosts exclaimed, "There was a history behind this?! That is deep!"

Korean netizens were impressed with Jay Park's knowledge and perspective, and commented, "Jay Park is amazing," "His perspective is fresh. He's so smart," "Jay Park is so admirable," "I think what Jay Park is right. Even after the IMF, it was a virtue for Korean people to be conserving and flaunting wealth was looked down upon," "He grew up in America so he must not have known that well about Korean history. He must have studied. To share his thoughts like that means he's been thinking a lot about that," "That makes sense," "Jay Park is awesome," "He's very observative," and "I never thought about it this way. I like the way he thinks."
