Jay Park Apologizes for Controversial Performance at W Korea’s Breast Cancer Awareness Event
Oct 16, 2025

Fashion magazine W Korea held the 20th Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign 'Love Your W 2025' charity event at the Four Seasons Hotel in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 15th. The campaign has been hosted annually by W Korea since 2005, and has reportedly donated about 1 billion won over the past 20 years.
But this day's event was a series of embarrassing scenes. There was no breast cancer-related eating order at all, and only the invited celebrities enjoyed drinking and partying. Park Eun-bin is rushing home after the W event. I think it's almost the first time I've had an event like this in a long time. I had a nice tour. It's going well, it's going well, he even declared 'Early departure'
The pinnacle of the problem was Park Jae-beom's celebratory performance. Park Jae-beom went on stage with crutches due to a leg injury and passionate about 'body'. His professional spirit, who did his best in the performance even while he was injured, was commendable, but his selection of songs was an error. 'Body' is a praise for a woman's body. It was ruled 19th gold for including explicit lyrics such as "'Sister twins hanging from your chest ' Not only netizens but also breast cancer patients expressed displeasure that such a song was sung at an event related to breast cancer.
In the end, Park Jae-beom said "Since the official breast cancer campaign event was over, I understood that the parties and performances were for those in the field, so I performed as usual. I'm sorry if any of the cancer patients felt unpleasant or uncomfortable after watching my performance. I hope you are healthy. Fighting. I did my best in performing without paying despite my injury. Please don't abuse your good heart."

However, the editor's concern that it would be okay to stand on stage with his injured leg was nothing but unfounded. Watch Park Jaebum's performance, which tore down the entire space as soon as it started" and went out to promote it. And when it was pointed out that it was an inappropriate act, the video was suddenly deleted in 20 minutes.
It did not say why the video was deleted. There was also no explanation or apology for the unpleasant performance. Only the answer was "Unanswerable".
In any case, all responsibility for the event rests with the organizers. Nevertheless, W Korea's move to remain silent by hiding behind Park Jae-beom and other celebrities who attended the event is drawing more criticism.
