Jae breaks into a burst of hysterical laughter immediately afterward, and ends the 22-second clip saying, "That's right, I said it! Tell her!" Jamie and Jae are believed to be close friends who often appear on YouTube shows and podcasts together.

‘His behavior keeps on getting worse’

K-pop fans logged into Twitter as they again dragged Jae Park on the micro-blogging site. “Jae needs to apologize, that was really mean. he hurt Jamie”, said one user as another chimed-in, “His behavior...keeps on getting worse.” Another shared, “Jamie didn't deserve any of that”, whereas, an individual said, “I'm literally suprised and disappointed at what he said tho, i understand that they're friends and all but that joke felt offensive for those who heard it so imagine what it felt for Jamie.”
 
The next one posted, “Jamie was pretty much offended and hurt....she already deleted her tweet but yeah she was open on how disappointed she was.” One user tweeted, “At this point I don't even know why that Jae guy thinks he still has a stable career.” Meanwhile, another added, “He really need to control his behavior sigh.” One Jamie fan asserted, “I'm sorry Jamie. It's always the women. Sad how you have to delete that and he didn't even have to think twice before saying that in front of thousands and probably will not take any action for that”, as another concluded, “I'm his fan but I'm disappointed when he says that, because I'm also a woman. you deserve better Jamie!!”
