I feel so bad for her. She gained fans and album sales without JYP at the age of 15. She signed to JYP and it ruined her whole career. This is a perfect example of not realising how bad a song is when we are younger but then listening to the same song as an adult we realise how inappropriate a song is. The fact that JYP also has not spoke up to defend her is gross. The fact that her family has also suffered is terrible. He’s so proud that he released a song that almost made her end her life and her family pretty much abandoned her. That’s terrible.

I can't believe she had to go through this. She deserves better, JYP literally ruined her whole career, if not her whole life. I feel really bad for Ji Yoon. This is actually really concerning, how he literally just does this to his artist.

I feel for her. I’m genuinely surprised though that she didn’t realize how racy the song and choreography was until later. It sucks it affected her relationship with her family, but where were they at this time? They never thought to check on what she was doing during the production of this album? Even if she was 18 I feel like her parents should have been somewhat involved making sure their daughter wasn’t being taken advantage of especially because she started in the industry very young

JYP is totally wrong on his side for not even mentioning her while being so proud of the song but the people who used to be her "fans" should've stuck to her atleast after knowing her side of the story

She deserves better

I'm so sad for her. Her story is why she was the perfect feature in RM's song N°2, since the lyrics talk about not looking back to the past, cause you did your best at the time with what you had.

I usually defend Park Jin Young but this time he did it himself all on his own, it's his fault her life got ruined and he has no remorse whatsoever, he thinks he did something good to this day. This is really disappointing and sad and disgusting

Honestly how could people criticize her and not criticize JYP? As she even stated she was so young and her mind was so innocent she didn’t even understand wth she was singing. We all have sang a song that was inappropriate and got older then realized oh crap why was I singing that song 😂

Honestly, if Kpop was international like it is now, I think there would have been a lot more folks to support and help in her defense. The Music video reminds me of the grunge era videos (think The Cranberries, No Doubt, Garbage, Hole, etc.) while the choreography and the instrumentals reminds me of a plethora of black lady groups and singles who made songs in the mid to late 90s that were critically acclaimed and inspired a lot of music (think 702, tweet, TLC, Xscape, En Vouge, Destiny's Child , Aliyah, etc) The outfit and hair were very fashionable during that time (at least in the west so I could be mistaken) Honestly this song would have been a massive hit in the west and international audiences especially during the time of its release and might have helped with the backlash she received in South Korea. I really hope she is feeling better both about herself and her career, she did not deserve all the hate she got for a song that she did not write or choreograph, and know that others see her body of work and enjoy it to this day!

They ruined her whole life & career and they don't even care, no remorse whatsoever, jyp are really rotten to the core. She deserves so much better

I remember reading a post about this on reddit quite some time ago. It was a theory that if a girl group were to perform this song either privately or publicly, it was like a 'go' signal from that gg's company that CEOs, investors and even kpop seniors in the industry could contact them and have a 'go' at their girls. I dont remember much from that post after that and I can't find it anymore. I didn't even finish reading it.

The church is disgusting for doing that, this is the fault of the culture for shaming someone for doing something they think isn't right. Her family should've stuck by her instead of worrying about rumors. They know the real her and that's all that should've mattered.

Her Adult Ceremony song/image is so prominent it's hard to forget she needs a more popular comeback than that to beat that image i guess . I like her vocals soo much 💗 i was happy too know that she would be featured in No.2 from Indigo since i like both the artist

I thank RM for bringing her story up to the world❤

I truly cannot understand how some people cannot see why JYP is at fault for this. The thing is, the problem about this situation isn't in the song (which is a different problem in itself), the choreography or the symbolism, but to where the general public aim their backlash. Ji Yoon was doing her job by performing the concept given to her by the company. JYP was also doing his job, making hit songs and choreography. But he did not get any of the backlash from the general public about the song (that he made) or the choreography (that he made). Ji Yoon got all of the public's backlash simply by performing them. And JYP could do this all over again, without a scratch on his reputation. To those blaming Ji Yoon for ruining her own career, have you ever been given the greenlight to do something, maybe by a boss or a close friend, and the inherent action blowing up in your face? Maybe it's your own fault for not seeing the repercussions of the action, or their fault for not explicitly outlining the implications of such action. Remember, she was only 18, in the entertainment industry amongst higher ups twice her age or older. It's not like she chose her own concept, she just wanted to be successful and realistically she probably would have had little power in changing her concept had she thought it was uncomfortable or unreasonable given her previous reputation.

Companies will basically never stop doing this until some sort of a law happens. Young girls are easier to manage and manipulate and they want them young so they can mold them and get as much work from them that they can get within their first contract. And fans want to support the idols which means rewarding the company for this behaviour while allowing them to cater to creeps.

Pathetic that knetz at that time could not tell the difference between a performance and the artists real persona. JYP should have taken responsibility for the effect on their artists. Jin young Park seems completely ignorant of what he did.

Is she the one in RM's album?? I didn't know her story before:(

Of course JYP wrote a song like this, disgusting 😡🤮. I really feel for her.

This was not ok I can't believe what she went Through Good thing she's still here💗

jyp's gotta stop this, that far ruining her whole career 💔💔

The age of consent in Sweden is 15.....that's outrageous. Just a kid that can be abused and lured to do things. The brain is not developed yet.

RM collab with her ,and the song lyrics are soo good ❤❤❤

Why cover Ailee's face and make it look like she was dancing to this song. If I'm not mistaken it was her own song...03:30

I really hope jyp learnt some lessons from this, but sounds like not much since he’s still proud of it. I’ve always known this song but I don’t speak Korean and never looked up the lyrics

I want to say this to park ji yoon “Dear, don’t look back anymore after all those waves have gone by, even if those countless ‘what if’s torment you, now you’ll be protecting yourself”

I don't think JYP ruined her life but rather the people around her... cutting your own daughter off because of a fucking song? Really? Her parents are trash. It should have been their duty to stand by her side and have her back. They failed as parents, shame on them.

This is why i really worry about idols that are female minors they can easily be taken advantage of. there is a huge power imbalance between the artist and company of JYP - she was trained by JYP himself , she would have no chance to say no even if she had realized, their contracts are also iron clad if you watch any show documentaries about training kpop idols often the trainees are isolated from the outside world, including their parents ...

Debuting minors will not stop unless it becomes illegal to debut minors. It can be easily ruled as child labor. You debut minors, they will do things without understanding. I do not blame her for not understanding that it was not a racy song. Looking back, I used to listen to so many songs without understanding what they meant until I heard them again as adults.

Okay but can we speak on the church embarrassing 2 of their regular followers??!

Not only JPY but her family as well... how can they turn their back on her when she needed them the most? How is that they didn't stood up for her against these people at church? How is people capable of define a person with a single song? I'm tired of this toxic culture, we need to raise our kids better so they can leave in a world where these disgusting behaviors don't happen.

all jokes aside i love the music jyp produces but he was just so creepy when he made this one and the way it’s still performed to this day even he performed it just irks me, it’s a good song but i feel like it only should’ve been done if the artist was completely aware of its implications and to think that a grown man made a barely legal young girl sing it just baffles me, i’m sure she knew she was going in the sexy provocative route but it’s easy to not know just exactly what the lyrics are alluding to, nothing wrong with a young (LEGAL) person to be a little flirtatious and start exploring their sexuality but the song was just too much and i really do feel for park jiyoon. but the public’s scrutiny is also undeserved like it should’ve been directed more at jyp not jiyoon but only her life was ruined because of it.

Jyp does this..this isn't the 1st time....that dude should stop this ....he ruined her career...and it heavily affected her up to this day

It’s crazy because I’ve listened to the song on multiple occasions, performed by multiple people but never bothered to look up the backstory. I really didn’t think the song was that racy but then again I never looked at all the lyrics and I am American.

It's not her or jyps fault, it's society's fault for not adapting to the times.

I love her voice. Soooo soothing😊

Poor her i wish this song came im the era of groups like sister and girls day and aoa

Jyp ruins a lot. He ruined Woojin, he ruined her, he ruined Jinni, he messed up got7….like Jyp is trying to redeem himself with Skz, itzy and Nmixx….but JYP is unsettling to me

i love that bts jungkook and jimin danced to this to show off to their hyungs and that RM concluded his album indigo about his journey through the industry and struggling with loneliness with Ji Yoon #2 "no looking back now"

Why I don't go church anymore. Always shaming others, and changing the meaning behind the veries, and I felt ashamed because I was told I couldn't express my desire to be with someone from the same sex. Yet, the church is supposed to represent Jesus' love where anyone is welcomed and accepted, not judged

JYP strikes again

Religion sucks, Park Ji Yoon rules. This music video was number one for like a year straight on Music Video Heaven in the US. It made me a lifelong fan of her. It just shows how conservative Korea is compared to the US. Look at the suicide rate of young people because of the pressure their parents put on them. Don't blame the writer of the song, blame their stuck up society.

JYP is such a creep.

La canción es buenísima, hubieses quizás esperar a que fuera más mayor para comprenderla (aunque ya era adulta legalmente) o otra artista que la entendiera, pero lo de sus padres y la sociedad no es culpa de la canción, sino de los estereotipos de que tienen que ser niñas dulces y bonitas y nada más como un cascaron vacío ...

This is the most disgusting thing I've never known about, MY GOD. That poor woman, I feel so terribly sorry for her. It must have been so incredibly hard for her, I can't even imagined how horribly she must have felt. And of course she got all the hate and not the disgusting dirtbag who created it all..

This in early 2000s and newjeans singing about cookie in 2020s.....such consistency

19 is the legal age in Korea, not 20. But good informative video, I didn’t know how badly it affected her

Thanks for this I wanted to learn about this song after seeing a comment section of twice covering this song

I love the song but don’t understand the lyrics cos I don’t know Korean. Anything I still love the song, I almost listen to it everyday 😂

This makes me so angry. I love her music and voice as a ballad singer. She deserved so much better. JYP is an absolute creep.

"why do u hate jyp he is so sweet and caring?"

23 years ago, this song still hits today and make it cover.. it's not her fault or JYP fault... Can you guess who the third person.. 😂

so, JYP did not ruin her career. He made a hit song, she performed and singed it and the public loved it since it sold a big amount of copies. The problem is the public enjoyed the song but thought it was “too much” anyway. It’s the public’s fault. She was not even forced to sing it. She received much popularity and much hate, that’s it. Her life was “ruined” because she couldn’t stand the hate side but most importantly because people are thirsty for drama and create it on purpose. Her relationship with their parents it’s her family fault since they’re putting their being religious over their affection for their own daughter, apparently. Also, the church playing a song to show what not to do, it’s just toxic behaviour.

What BS! As an American travelling through Korea I was astounded by the soft porn allowed on tv without restrictions. Coming of Age was amazing and the choreography some of the finest I had ever witnessed at the time. I feel the majority hold her in the highest esteem to this day. I never get tired of the video!

I’m a fan. I have all of her discs.

Just bcz of song her life messed up that why you should becareful in choosing right person for u and jyp did so wrong to ruin her innocent image i also liked that song of her bcz its so addicting but bcz of that she suffer alot everyone use to her innocence so when she came like mature person no one like her and she get so much hate but also get love bcz of song

I love Korea but my heart breaks for its people who raise their kids on a foundation of shame and guilt. This poor girl.

I am so sorry that the song had such a negative impact on Park Ji Yoon's life. But I have to admit that I like the song.

Jyp wrote the lyrics himself for a child he knew was still very much young. This is disturbing and disgusting. He took advantage of her. The fact that he had the thought to make the song about an older man grooming a young girl is absolutely vile. And he twisted it by making it a song from the girls perspective to make it more digestsble and accepted. This is disturbing. She deserves a huge public apology and compensation.

For a Country where age of consent was 13 until a couple a years back. And Sexual harasment is cultural heritage they hate mature song.

Thr saddest part is max all big companies didn't treat their groups well esp jyp somehow worse

What a narcissistic! He completely ruined her career and til this day still regrets nothing. How disgusting 😠😤

No matter What I love the Song // I did not know the Concept of the Song.. I love the song anyway

Why did he choose those lyrics for her specifically. Weird

Hope BamBams seen this.

Jest genialną piosenkarką. Piękna i mądrom kobietą.

I hope idols stop covering that song

Jyp love to ruined his idol taste and color

this is why I want to say that if you want to enter the kpop industry, you should not audition for JYPE

I am sorry I might offend some of u but JYP is sick to core!!

Kpop artists same as marketing products

i keep saying this but i do think that jyp is a creep the way he's always hanging around the girl groups and some of his performances especially the one with hwasa and then her sitting on his lap

The song was controversial, but it sounded great. I bought the album and it sounded great too.

JYP receiving most of the royalties $$ from this song while Ji Yoon getting all of the hate.

what a weird song to create cover trend

I get JYP did wrong (as always) but is not like a conservative and judgmental society is all his fault D: Korea was so much more conservative back then than now

im watching the video rn

She's pretty

I think this video was made by ChatGPT😂😂

She was an adult when she sang the song so I don’t know how she’s not blaming herself even a little bit

He's so insensitive for being proud of this song. The title itself is weird enough.

Yoi really tried to blame Jinyoung Park for this. People will do anything to justify hating someone

sad

Damn😂😂😂 that church tho

So, if a producer made a hit-song, and the singer get a lot of fame and fans, but the society of her county betray her and gave her depression, is the producer's fault?, that don't make a lot of sense lol, this video feels like a hater video.

Hypocritical netizens. Contradicting, even

Now a days she make bad negative news video no more positive one. It's looks like she gets more views on this types of videos. That's why I'm out

. ❤

Are always the men

Okay I don’t know who this idol is but I just noticed they have the same initials 🗿

Why you talk to fast?inrush?

so fake

hi

oh boo hoo cry me a river

bro i am hella early
