Singer Jay Park has once again become a heated debate topic on social media after directly getting involved in an online altercation with an anonymous netizen.
The situation sprouted from a post Park made on X(formerly Twitter), joking about still getting asked to show ID when buying a drink in the US. The idol wrote, “That means they think I’m younger than 21.”

The netizen also refused to back down, responding, “While you’ll be pretending to be black the rest of your life, I’ll be a lawyer,” prompting Park to reply again, implying that they could be making it all up for the sake of the argument.
