Jay Park Shows Off His Boys, But Not Everyone’s Impressed
Jay Park has never been one to play it safe—and that bold spirit is showing in his first-ever K-pop boy group. Meet LNGSHOT, the rookie team under Park’s label MORE VISION, already making waves ahead of their official debut with a photo that’s got the internet talking for all the wrong reasons.
What Sparked the Outrage?
On Instagram, Park shared a group photo of himself with LNGSHOT’s members—LOUIS, OHYUL, WOOJIN, and RYUL—all confidently posing for the camera. But it wasn’t just their visuals grabbing attention. In the shot, the boys boldly flashed their middle fingers, a move that some fans saw as rebellious…and others found downright inappropriate for idols.
Critics didn’t hold back:
- “Why would idols be flipping the bird?”
- “This isn’t cool—it’s just bad taste.”
- “Being rude on stage doesn’t make you edgy; having manners does.”
Jay Park Responds with Hashtags—and Swagger
Is Jay fazed? Not really. The hip-hop mogul captioned the post: “My boys are handsome, right? I’m not saying they’ll sell the most, but we’ll be the coolest doing K-pop,” adding the tag #아이돌이다 (It’s an idol thing).
After a surprise appearance with LNGSHOT at a university festival in Seoul, Jay doubled down with more hashtag attitude: #itsalngshotbutwelltakeit and #middlefingertothenorm—hinting at a mission to disrupt the overly polished idol status quo.
Who Are LNGSHOT?
LNGSHOT is the first boy group created by MORE VISION, the label Jay Park launched in 2022. Their name plays on the phrase “long shot”—fitting for an underdog narrative wrapped in street style swagger. Their debut is set for January next year, but they’re already rewriting the rulebook.
Edgy or Just Extra?
It’s a risky PR move: provoke some backlash now, get noticed, and launch with serious buzz later. Jay Park’s betting big on attitude—even if it means a few fingers pointed back at him (literally). Will LNGSHOT live up to the rebel image or fold under pressure? Either way, they’re not here to play nice. They’re here to play loud.
