In 2009, Jay Park decided to leave 2PM. He said that comments made on his Myspace in 2008 were used against him and contributed to his decision. In 2010, he flew back to South Korea for the filming of “Hype Nation.” A month later, he signed a multi-million contract with one of the biggest entertainment companies in South Korea at SidusHQ.
Jay Park, who had been busy with his hit reality show My Ugly Duckling, released his first EP “Count on Me” on July 13. After only one day of sales, the idol earned 6,000 copies sold and 700 million USD. Because Jay Park has sold thousands of copies of his albums and maintains an active fanbase worldwide, it is evident that he is mostly known for being a singer-songwriter.

After uploading a cover of Bruno Mars and B.o.B’s song “Nothin’ on You,” Jay earned more than 300,000 USD in only 24 hours. His YouTube video reached two million views and captured the attention of his generation.
