- This is th&e intro jingle.
This is the K-Pop Daebak show, with Eric Nam, ooh.
I'm gonna give you a quick run down.
I have a big, white piece of paper here,
with a lot of facts about him.
- Oh, I'm excited.
- And I really hope these are accurate.
- I do too.
- And some of these I saw and I was actually
very, very surprised, so let's just get into it.
Full name, Jae-hyung Park. - Yo.
- Born September 15th, 1992, you're 26.
- I thought I was 27.
- Are you? - I'm 26?
- Wait, I don't know. - Wait, American age, 92,
- No, you're 26. - I'm 26?
- 'Cause I'm 30, American.
- Are you four years older than me?
You're old, bro.
(laughs)
I didn't know you were that old.
- Oh, damn!
- I didn't know you were that old.
- And here we go, yo.
Yeah, I'm old, y'all, but I am 30.
- Wow, congratulations.
- Wow, thank you.
It really means a lot.
- Happy for you, man.
- It says here you were born in Buenos Aires.
- Buenos Aires, Argentina.
- Really? - Yeah.
- That's crazy, why, how did that happen?
- I don't know (laughs).
I just wanna be honest, I don't know.
My sister is 10 years older than me,
and then I think my parents were working in Argentina.
- [Eric] What were they doing?
- I think they were doing clothing, like kids' clothing.
And then I happened. - And then you happened.
In Buenos Aires. - In Buenos Aires.
- You know what, Buenos Aires,
it's like the land of the Tango and this--
- Oh is it? - Like the super sexy
sensual dancing and all that, so.
What happens in Buenos Aires, stays in Buenos Aires?
- Nice. - I definitely made that up.
But, so, okay, so you're born in Buenos Aires.
Do you speak any Spanish? - Uh, no.
- No? - No.
- (foreign language) - What?
- Okay, so clearly, no Spanish for Jae, that's fine.
- (foreign language)
- A little bit, little bit.
- No, sadly. - That's fine.
- And then you moved to Korea when you were two.
- Okay, okay, I know why it says that.
Because I've been on public record
for saying that and my mom corrected me recently.
She told me I never lived in Korea.
I was born in Buenos Aires
and I went to Canada for a little bit.
And then I went to America.
So I was never in Korea, but I remember visiting a lot.
- [Eric] So your life was a lie!
- Yeah. - Until recently.
All right, so you were not even,
Canada, then you were in L.A.
- Yeah, and my name used to be Brian.
- What? - Yeah.
- Brian Jae-hyung.
- So it was Brian Park. - Brian Park.
- And then my parents changed my name.
- How did you feel about that when that happened?
- I don't know, I was probably like two.
- Oh okay, never mind, never mind.
- Not sure.
- And then you studied poli sci.
- Poli sci. - At Cal State.
What, that was your freshman year,
that you went to K-Pop star there?
- Yeah, I was in my freshman year,
and then all of a sudden, I got a call,
'cause I was doing YouTube.
You know YouTube, right?
I feel like all Asian Americans did YouTube.
- That's what we did!
2011, 2010, that's what we did, because
we never had a platform, so what were we gonna do?
We were gonna sit in our bathrooms
and hide guitars from our parents and sing.
- That's how I know you really did it.
- That's what-- - The acoustics.
- Yeah, you know, you need the echo, you need the reverb.
You need that naturally.
All right, and then, over three years after the show
you debuted as the everything of Day6.
I feel like-- - The everything of Day6?
- You guys all play multiple roles.
There's the vocalist, you play instruments,
you also rap, ish.
- Oh, correction, correction.
I really want that taken off my profile.
- [Eric] Rapper?
- I'm not a rapper.
- [Eric] Okay, let's hear you spit some fire.
- I'm a hip hop enthusiast.
I'm not a rapper, though!
- Okay, you're not a raptor, a raptor.
- I'm definitely not a raptor.
- You're not a raptor. - I'm not a raptor.
- You're not a rapper either. - Yeah.
- If you have your favorite hip hop artist, or rapper.
- Dude, I don't. - You don't.
- I like all hip hop. - Okay, okay, okay.
- I like "Show Me the Money."
I just watch it a lot, yeah.
- [Eric] It's a fun show.
