After his comeback, he started working as a rapper instead of going back to the idol business.
At first, Jay started his career in a famous idol group, 2PM. But he had been falsely accused of things, he came out of the group then went back to Seattle, his home. He used to post cover songs on the internet while he was there and it brought huge reactions from the Korean people. This led him to come back to Korea as a solo artist. After his comeback, he started working as a rapper instead of going back to the idol business. He had shown HU---freaking---GE amount of works and efforts, breaking down prejudice against him as an idol, and became one of the best Hip Hop artists of all time in Korea. He also brought his record labels AOMG, HIGHER MUSIC among the best labels and joined Jay-Z’s Roc Nation in 2017. (Recently, he made his own brand of liquor, ‘Won Soju’, heading into the Alcohol industry for the first time as a musician in Korea. *Soju is a clear, colorless distilled alcoholic beverage that is widely associated with the drinking culture of Korea.)
