when he kept going for each part and he kept getting rejected I think he won over a lot of international fans, me included

Jay is the epitome of the advice that my mom gave me when I was very young. She told me, "You may not always be the biggest, strongest, smartest, fastest, or the best, but you can always be the hardest worker." Jay just doesn't quit and he has this infinite confidence in himself. He learns and then improves. After seeing this, you can see how much of an underdog he was. He had more downs than ups on the show. But he never gave up and look at him now! Truly inspiring!

I respect him so much.he's an only child, came from a wealthy family, still have this kind of mentallity. Wow. I wouldnt survive if i was him. Mad respect!!!!!!

The members who not gets enough respect during I land = Jay and Sunoo

Jay's strong mind set really helped him to get through everything. We're proud of you! 🥺🥺🥺💖

tbh, it really hurt to see jay's journey on iland (for me, personally). he looks tough outside, but actually soft-hearted inside. ngl that's one of many reason I respect him (and made him as my bias since then). seeing him debut in enhypen and getting the recognition that he deserves, make me so prouud of him. I'm happy to see him with other members of enhypen. thank you for this video ♥️

JAY is underrated. I will keep saying it and I don't care what yall think. I totally relate with him. I can feel his pain and that desperate desire to accomplish something. I hope he will rise higher and higher.

I almost forgot how heartbreaking his journey was because of all the funny moments and memes he has. And I honestly really like that he didn’t let himself be remembered as a statue to pity on. The reason he’s my bias is because he’s real. He isn’t one of those tsunderes or a ball of sunshine. But he manages being stubborn and honest while also being the mood maker he is. He just has the best personality, and I love him.

5:50 I'm crying Jay thinking about Niki when everybody in there was like hated niki for being so competitive

Jay isn't Jay without his determination and his passion. That's what made him so cool and amazing. Love him

Not me reading all the comments just to be sure people support and respect him as much as I do🤧

Don't lie, you cried the ugliest just watching our Jay baby. HE DESERVES TO BE A MEMBER OF ENHYPEN! He is very inspirational. Jay, you did it. You're the coolest. We love you.

when K was hugging Jay when he first came back to I-LAND and Jay said that Niki didn't make it back, that moment was so bittersweet to me. K was eliminated and did not make it into ENHYPEN, but he stayed in I-LAND the whole time versus Jay and Niki who were sent to GROUND and made it into ENHYPEN. Jay returned to K saying Niki didn't make it, but now all 3 are going to be doing projects and 2 have already debuted. These boys should be so proud of themselves because they all made it one way or another, and I know that they all care for each other, especially during that scene when Jay told K that Niki wasn't coming back. True friendship and real hard work, the respect I have for these guys.

King jay went from last place to SECOND and the only thing that matters now is that he debuted in a legendary group , so proud of him

Jay truly had experienced the ups and downs on the show. It really hurts to see whenever he's been pushed down. Went from the top, bottom and then back to the top. It was truly a rollercoaster BUT Jay never gave up. His determination and his will to continue to stay strong was inspiring. No matter how much he wanted to be perfect, he still look after others and made sure for them to be the best of themselves. He knew their qualities and focused on others rather not just on himself. When I say he deserved to debut, he really does. We need somebody like that in the industry who is willing to keep their head high even through the toughest times. I mean, look at him now. I'm so proud of him. He's so talented, charismatic and could actually be an all-rounder.

When Taeyong said "I mean, Jay's better dancer", I feel comforted somehow ❤. Yes he is! I landers never appreciated him, but grounders know his worth. I love you Jay! ❤

Now, i feel bad for laughing when his voice crack😥 im gonna cri. I think his and niki's journey are the most painful to watch. I'm gonna wait for niki's journey. Thankyou for this video♥️♥️

5:50 the way he sobbed after saying ni-ki didn't make it 😭 please i love their brotherhood so much, it's been months and im so happy that they both made it to enhypen.

he's like one of the most critized and looked down upon member in I-land and I felt extremely angry and sad at the others who voted him out. like man's really tough. he has also shown great leadership skills during the whole show and he has such a big heart

When I watched Iland, I always feel sad everytime I saw Jay and Niki, they’re so passionate, work hard, extremely talented, but I saw their confidence was getting lower each episode and expected themselves to get eliminated. They deserve so much respect and I’m so happy that they’re debut together, especially now Niki looks much happier, he was so young but when he was in Iland they didn’t treat him like one, they need his help but didn’t really give the respect that he deserved, I was so mad at that time.

I felt at one point they just thought that anyone was better than him when they picking the parts and he kept losing to the other although he put his hands up first. It was at the moment I said I am going vote for Jay any chance I got. I hate to be that person but if jay or niki wasnt in enhypen I wouldn't listen to music. I felt their passion more than anyone

Jay doesn't know how to quit or give up. And that's made him more of an idol. He's an inspiration!

I'm so proud of you Jay! my Role model, my Inspiration.

Jays definitely that guy in the show we can all relate to the most, we’ve all had those moments where we wanted to do something or be apart of something and others have gotten chosen over us, Jay was just able to go along with it and fight through, he had potential and he knew he had potential. He’s living proof anything is achievable with hard work.

Seriously, after watching I-land I really think Jay was like the protagonist of the show. Like seriously, he experienced almost every emotion a person can ever have most especially RESENTMENT, ANGER, and SHAME (if you know what I’m saying😄). This guy is the epitome of hard work and perseverance. And even after all those struggles, he still manage to compose himself and focus on his work. He rose on top and ended up Top 2 and debuted as a member of Engypen. I’m so proud for my guy Jay. HE DESERVES WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW. Please keep supporting him and Enhypen everyone! -from a male (straight)Engene😅

Jay already debuted in ENHYPEN but everything that happened in this video is still fresh in my mind especially that first part when he kept on trying to get a part. Mad respect for my bias. We love you so much. No doubt you will reach so far.

I've watched their journey many times now and sunoo, ni-ki and Jay's stories never failed to make me cry, like.. how sad and disappointing, they don't deserve all the rudeness. Good thing they're all tough and confident, especially ni-ki.. I'm happy that he hang in there. I really love enhypen, the 7 members deserve their debut.

The way he told ''we'll go first'' how strong and confident💯 *Niki , Jay , sunoo u all deserve this*

Jay is so precious. His parents raised him very well.

I can’t stop watching his videos

Don't be Mad at me, but at the unit performance I really felt disappointed and kinda of mad at K and Seon for removing Jay on the dance unit, they didn't trust Jay enough and they feel bad for Jay? Knowing Jay I know he can practice and perform that dance move well because he's very passionate and hardworking. It's just like what he said that they get rid of him. I feel bad for Jay in this part.

His journey was one of the toughest! I was always rooting for him so it really did break my heart to see him like this. He's deserved his place in Enhypen ❤️

He's like Suga, tough yet vulnerable. A very genuine person, and they don't like the feeling of getting betrayed by the people whom they trusted.

I don't understand why some people don't like Jay, he's like everyone else there, they want to be an artist and dance/sing. I am glad he's in a group of people who get along with each other

I was a J-line picker but I cried and gained respect for him, everytime he failed and never give up. now he's my bias in ENHYPEN

He's so passionate and hardworking. He didn't gave up. When people lose confidence, he didn't. Those bad feedbacks towards him, it's like feeding the flame inside him. And he's realistic and humane. He showed us that it's okay to have those negative feelings as long as you get back up again after feeling it. I respect that. I respect that a lot. Jay is unbelievable. And he never hold grudges, he knows how to read situations, and he understood what needs to be done. They way he do things, it's pure hardwork, pure passion, pure kindness. And he always tried to help others, he's so generous, he always tried to do what he can. I fell in love with his attitude, with how he face things. Tbh, I'm a person that always gives up when someone gave me a bad comment, and when I see Jay... it's just, I envy him a lot for having that much confidence and passion. I pondered, wondering how he can be like that, wondering how I can be like him. I respect him a lot. That is why he's my bias. He didn't give up. He's too stubborn to give up and I'm glad. I'm so glad that he didn't give up, I'm so glad he debuted. He deserved it.

coming from a well off family, it is surprising to see how humble he is. You've been through so muhlch jay but all your hardwork was finally paid off. Im a late fan but after watching I land and get to know you, I am amazed of how great you are and how someone can have that positive mind evenin the worst situation. I admire how brave you are. I wonder how you have all the traits like being positive, brave, humble and kind. I'm alwayz a fan ❤

he and ni-ki went through a lot in the show :( I'm so happy they get to debut and be a part of Enhypen♡♡

Jay had the most interesting journey of all.. Just like a movie.. He was pushed 😏 but he emerged victorious in the end

His Journey was definitely my favorite

Jay,Sunoo and Niki have the most difficult journey to become Enhypen...I got teary while watching their journey..

I cried the whole time. Jay is the true representation of courage, passion, and determination!! I salute!! We love you Jay.

Jay's tenacity, grit, and genuineness is the very reason why people adore him, ME ESPECIALLY. This is also the very reason why he not only won over many fans but as well as the family members of ENhypen. Remember those calls Heeseung and Sunoo made with their family. Heeseung's brother said Jay is so cool, much cooler than Heeseung, and Sunoo's sister adored Jay especially with Sunghoon. Again, when they received lunch boxes, Heeseung's brother did not forget to mention Jay. Along the years, we would hear compliments from Enhypen's family like that one time Jungwon's mom just called him to tell him Jay is so cool during their performance or when Niki's parent appreciated Jay. I believe we have other accounts of their families complimenting Jay too. Furthermore, Jay was the most responsible among them. Remember how he immediately stood up in behalf of the Grounders and those who were not chosen by Heeseung during their Dive Into You performance. He has shown and proven himself as a true leader. A man of character and substance. No wonder the maknae line of Iland and Enhypen respected and adored Jay out of all of them. And that is why even though TVN only tried to emphasize his embarrassing moments which we all love about him too, they simply couldn't hide his enviable character and personality. So in the end, he ended up debuting in the second place only next to Jungwon (JayWOn supremacy! Ayiie). Heeseung is absolutely great. He is my first bias because they really emphasized him but then as I-land went on, I can't help but be bias-wrecked by Jay. Now I LOVE HIM UNCONDITIONALLY. I am a guy and this is what I really love about him. I hope to be like him. I aspire to be the man that he is too. His tenacity, grit, and genuineness is such an inspiration. My prayer is that to all Blue Jays and Engenes, may you all have the same strength of mind and will that Jay have. The same tenacity, grit, and genuineness. God bless you! Cheers!

the part where jay gave his letter to k my tears start to flow.. I'm smiling yet crying. Jay made it but without K. K also made it but without Jay. Although they promised to each other to debut together , still happy that even though they are not in the same team still they both reach their goal to debut ... Looking forward for K's group 💪

He has strong mindset, plus he’s literally can feel and predict what’s going to happen next!! Literal Psychic and a great leader

When Daniel was soooo damn happy when they said Jay is the one who is going to debut shows their amazing friendship and how much of a great person Daniel is💗💕

When i first saw jay in the very first episode i thought he was just some rich kind with an attitude but that drastically changed when i saw him going for each part though he got shot down over and over again. That made me have huge respect for him. it aint easy to have confidence all the time when you have been constantly put down. Thats when he became my number one pick.

Thats why he's my bias he inspires me so much. In iland he caught my attention with his confidence and how he never gave up. When he goes for something he's passionate about, for example like a leader when he wanted to win. He was willing to give his all just to win.

why is this underrated, people should be seeing this

It's painful to see his journey.He is one of the most hardworking person I've ever seen. but now he debut and I hope he and his memeber will have what they dreamed especially to my Jay ..Bruh! ..now he's my ult bias 💞..proud of him after all he have went through

I'm so glad Jay debuted. Drunk-Dazed was the era to which I fell down the rabbit hole and Jay stood out to me most, he got me into Enhypen and now I'm a full-blown fan. If he didn't debut I would not be here commenting on this video. Also, I like how he comes from a fairly wealthy family but didn't act so entitled and didn't try to buy his hard work. Love you jay

5:50 i love how jay doesn't give up nor doesn't forget to care for other i-landers too

I hate how underrated he is. I don't get how people can see how hard he worked and how much he went through and think to laugh. The fact that I only ever see people mentioning Jay when they are laughing at him is what really annoys me. How do you see someone crying and you think to laugh?? He showed talent, hardwork, and determination and in the end people still don't take him seriously. I'm hoping sometime in the future people will finally start to appreciate him as an artist and not someone to laugh at.

jay never sees the I-landers in a bad way jay really makes me cry out of all the members

Jay showed great character since day one. He’s young and he’s already so inspiring. I’m really happy he got to debut!!

Personally I think jay, sunoo and niki had the most motivational journey on the show.

Jay gave off the best impression he possibly could of when he kept trying for parts. That was the moment he won over so many fans. He even trended on twitter for it. Like people never forgot about that moment throughout the season. I seriously think that small action of raising his hand part after part helped him debut while talent and hardwork is important you also need fans to have a good impression of you. I always voted for Jay when ever I got the chance too. 😂😂 He was my #1 Pick

The most transparent, maybe that's why he is my bias. I love all 7 members but there's just something about him that makes him more astounding.

The comments make me feel so warm watching everyone appreciate Jay as much as i do. The embarrassment he faced, especially when they were picking parts for singing made me nearly cry reminding me of how much i've been in hurt in my own way, wether it was basketball games or group activities. Betrayal hurts the most, and seeing Jay stay strong made my admiration for him grow. He really believed in himself and others, without him there would be no Enhypen.

the way he cried when niki didn't make it

5:48 jay said: “but ni-ki didn’t make it” omg I’m crying rn

✨ *dreams do become reality if you dont give up* ✨15:50

Why you make me crying....

Jay got my respect... he's a very strong person. I'm so proud of you Jay!

Honestly, this is my first time watching ILand scenes because I just got attached to enhypen months ago. I really cherished everything Jay do on Enhypen and then I watched this one, Im hurt knowing he experienced all this humiliation to be a part of an Idol group. Now, I have another reason to love Jay more than usual. You did great Jay. Keep working hard. I/We will support you!!!

I started crying seeing him try to get those parts...

I was literally crying the whole time watching this ... he worked hard and achieved his position now in ENHYPEN I feel proud to say that I AM A JAY STANNNN!!!

just remember, the 1st time i saw him on ILand, i knew he'll debut no matter what.... alhtough the int'l fan worried me... but still i pray & happy that he'll finally debut.... #JAY.fighting

He is truly an inspiration ❤

He’s the most confident and strongest person I’ve ever seen. He’s truly amazing and inspiring. I have such a big respect for him

Recently I got interested in enhypen so i started watching them and I really liked all of the members but to get to know them better,I decided to watch I-land and boom I fell in love with jay becuz of his strong passion he really is the most hard working person no matter how many ups and downs came he never gave up and kept trying his best also he has such a nice personality,he is seriously the best guy :(

Jay's unique and startling honesty is a huge reason why I admire him and wish to be a little bit like he is--both with myself and with others. To not put up a false front or raise the pitch of my voice to be seen as gentle and soft when when inside, I want to be comfortable and laugh loudly. To being unapologetically myself! Fighting!!

Jay, break my heart the most.. he's the guy who didn't know how to give up.. I'm so proud of him .. ❤❤❤

Jay had a real rollercoaster ride on I-LAND, tok many ups and downs along on his way but he conquered it all. All what happened there is still fresh on viewers mind, how they treated him and get hurt, fall down many times but still eager to do his best. I truly understand what he feel on that days, why he is mad & upset but he prove to everyone that he will do it too. I felt really proud of him by watching iland, his character development and he really had a pure heart. Our jay do his best, and now he made it! We are so proud and grateful. (& I think jay, sunoo & niki had an very unforgettable journey in I-LAND)

It's so heartbreaking to watch him raise his hand for every part but never get one. Jay is such a hard worker, he's dedicated like no other but somehow it always backfires on him, something always goes wrong and it's so vexing and admirable at the same time because he never gives up. Everyone's had a hard time in I-Land but I can't help but feeling that he's bad it the hardest even though he was in the top group most of the time. It's always the same, not good enough, not improved enough, someone's better suited for what he's trying so hard to do, it takes a lot of courage and strength to take all that and power through without losing confidence in his own abilities or resent everyone else for taking away his chances. He has such an admirable character and it pains me that people are out there claiming any different when he's done nothing but show us his hard work, always caring, always giving.... I hope his further way in life isn't connected to such pain anymore

Jay never gave up he was determine to be the best that’s why he became my Favortie. His mindset is unmatched

Why did i start crying.. He always trys so hard he doesnt deserve toxic engenes and hate comments

He had many obstacles but he never give up he's younger than me but i adore him so much jay is my role model

They way K got started when Jay was going to give him the letter and said not to do things like that and then hugged him assuring everything's gonna be fine is literally the sweetest and most emo thing ever Jay giving letters to everyone was literally the hardest thing for me to watch. He is honest such a strong soul he acts tough on the outside but is such a softie on the inside. I love him so much. He is one of the figures I adore alot

He is my bias !!! It's so hard for me to watch this .

not me crying when watching jay journeys :') i know how struggle he is and too jay : please be enhypen mood maker until end

Iam with him from the start and i will fly with him and bluejays until i die .

Jay bru hands down to this guy cause no matter how many rejection he receives he strives to achieve his dreams .❤❤

jay is who everyone wants/dreams to be, he has so much passion, pays attention to his members, has perserverance, and really, so charismatic.... jay

11:09 I still felt so sad that Hee didn't pick Jay at all... like I don't know what to feel the first time I watch Iland knowing Jay is one of the best in there yet they left him behind... I felt like they betrayed Jay... Im so sorry but that's what I felt😢😢😢😢

he's so strong willed, this man. lots of people, if they were in his shoes, would have given up with the amount of pressure Jay gets, as well as getting rejected for parts that he wanted, or not getting the ranking he wanted. he's amazing, and I wish him the best in his journey to success that he wanted.

This is crazy how jay used to get low ranks and heesung sunoo were always on top but still in the final ranking jay was above all if them this just proves how unpredictable life is

The first time i watched this, i was really laughing because of jay's reactions but now that im rewatching this, i realized that jay went through a hard time in i-land. i'm a little teary eyed right now. Jay has a strong mentality and is superr cool! We love you, Jay. We will always support you. ♡

I remember when I watch the ep where he keep raising his hand for every part but getting rejected that was the time when I start admire him he is really pure and humble person 💞💓

I've been with them since day 1 and I already know everything that was shown of their journey but I am still going to watch

Don't touch me, im crying-

imagine how he felt when people he cares or close to him didn’t choose him. k wanted to change him from his position. heesung didnt choose him. i mean we all know it’s survival show but emotionally that wasn’t okey but he didn’t keep that. gosh! his such a strong person mentally. i saw jay at tiktok coz of his funny moment and i end up search him this few days. sunoo and him got the toughest battle in iland. i was amaze with him actually. i only stan 2 person in kpop. jin and seulgi. might add jay on my list.

You made it to the top because of your perseverance and persistence to be great in every performance. You deserve to debut Jay!

Jay is my bias in Enhypen (Baby Bluejays) after watching I-land I like Jay more and more, he is amazing. In the first episode Jay looks like a rich kid who is sociable, handsome & cool, but after watching I-land to the end it turns out that Jay is more than cool, Jay is a good boy, strong & funny. It turns out that Heeseung brother & Sunoo sister also like Jay, I'm also an only child like Jay & I want to have a brother like Jay.

This pretty boy had my heart lots of respect for you Jay ❤️❤️

This video almost got tears in my eyes... I can't imagine enhypen without Jay... I mean he's simply an amazing guy... he deserves so much more love... I really wanna hug him right now. 😢

I can proudly say that he is someone i want to become like specially his never give up attitude. I love this man

Im sobbing...jay u made it 3rd ROTY award for you

Poor Jayyy he went through a lot. I love his voice, his dance moves, and how he charismatically presents himself on stage. 제이 진짜 멋있어~!❤

i cried throughout the whole video.
