Jay Park hints at his retirement by taking his Instagram account down

AKP STAFF

Jay Park has closed his Instagram account. 

On December 31st, 2021, he wrote a heartfelt letter to his fans on his Instagram, announcing his intention to step down as CEO of AOMG and H1GHR MUSIC. On January 1st, his account became no longer searchable on Instagram. It is unclear whether he deactivated or deleted his account, however. 

 
AOMG was previously founded by Jay Park in 2013, while H1GHR MUSIC Records was co-founded by Jay Park and producer Cha Cha Malone in 2017. He first dropped hints at his retirement by tweeting out "If I ever retire or disappear, make sure to miss me" ahead of issuing the letter on Instagram. 

Meanwhile, Jay Park released a new single "To Life" on January 1 at 6 PM KST. If he decides to retire soon, this would mark his last new music release.

He's been talking about it for awhile. So I guess he's really done with all this and want to live normal life.

I don't follow a ton of Jay's career (I have a few of his songs in my iTunes though) but I always felt that he was a lot more talented than most idols on the K-Pop scene. He sounds a bit serious about his retirement so the Korean music industry will surely miss a great talent when he's gone.
