Lil more updates after Jae's departure from Day6

If the desire to do activities together is there, I'm sure Jae and Day6 can make it happen.

You're the first person I thought of when the news broke.

they make artists sign NDAs when they leave? Wtf

Is this common in the kpop industry?

Considering how many idols have left groups and/or companies under less than pleasant circumstances and haven't said anything about it, I think the answer is "yes."

I'm really not surprised, though. It sucks for MyDay to not know if Jae will be back with Day6, but considering the way Jae was complaining semi-regularly in the media -- I saw way more news about Jae's shady tweets than about his music -- it really reminded me of how things went down with Amber at SM. Kind of felt like a matter of time before he left or got invited to leave. At least JYPE isn't throwing him under the bus on his way out, and leaving it as "personal reasons."

From a "bird's eye view", being in a bigger pond for a while is better for Jae and could eventually pull more listeners back to Day6 over the long term. It would be great if Jae's music ends up getting heard more in the Americas, UK, Australia, Japan and other parts of the East. People that follow Jae Bird end up following what he does with the band too.

Yes. Many former artists from bigger and smaller companies say they wish they could talk about certain things but they can't. If they could we would have hundreds of articles about physical violence, discrimination, favoritism, sponsors, diets, bad working conditions and other stuff. I remember Jay Park said they were not allowed to drink water all day when he was a trainee (until they learnt something) and that trainees were beaten and 'it didn't shock anyone'.
