On August 8, Park Jaebum, also known as Jay Park, took to Instagram to share an unexpected update with his fans.
The singer announced a collaboration between his soju brand, and a fashion brand. However, it wasn't the collaboration that caught netizens' attention, but rather the photo that accompanied the announcement.
In the photo, Park can be seen shirtless, showing off his impressive muscles and tattoos. However, what really stood out was the fact that he had placed a bottle of soju in his underwear and struck a provocative pose in front of a mirror.
As expected, netizens had mixed reactions to the photo. Some found it humorous and on-brand with Park's persona, while others found it distasteful and wondered why he would take a picture like that.
Here are some of the most noteworthy reactions:
"This is just too much. Why is he doing this?"
"Wow, he's really going all out for his brand. It's kind of impressive, to be honest."
"I'm sorry, but this is just plain gross."
"I don't get why people are making such a big deal out of this. It's just a picture."
"He's always been known for his edgy image, so I'm not surprised by this at all."
"I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, it's kind of hot. On the other hand, it's kind of disturbing."
"He's clearly trying to shock people and get attention. I'm not sure if it's working."
"This is so unnecessary. Can't he just promote his brand in a normal way?"
"Honestly, I think he looks pretty good in the picture. It's just a shame that he had to ruin it by doing something so stupid."
"I don't know what to say. I guess it's just classic Park Jaebum being Park Jaebum."
