This is not the first time he mentioned his retirement. Jay Park appeared on the YouTube channel “HIPHOPLE” back on September 14 and chatted about his future plans with ZICO.

At the time, he said, “How long should I try not to lose the light to others? This is such a tiring life.” He then added, “The reason I’ve been doing this all this time is because I enjoyed doing it and had the thought of sharing some of my light to artists I respect when I’m influential. I just simply like things like that – If someone’s life can change because of me.”
