On February 5, a video titled “I Was Invited to the Home of 38-Year-Old Kangaroo Tribe Member Jay Park” was uploaded to Jay Park’s YouTube channel, showing his simple daily life living together with his parents.
In the video, when the production team asked, “What moisturizing cream do you use?”, Jay Park paused briefly before immediately shouting, “Mom!” Instead of naming the product himself, he naturally called his mother to check, a moment that drew laughter. When the staff mentioned that Daesung uses a La Mer cream priced at around ₩2.4 million, Jay Park reacted in shock, asking, “Does Daesung live in a penthouse?” His mother, standing next to him, neatly summed things up by saying, “The one Jaebeom (Jay Park) uses costs ₩33,900,” making the atmosphere even more cheerful.
Jay Park, who has been known for his “honey skin” since his early debut days, smiled as he revealed the secret behind it, saying, “I just apply whatever my mom tells me to.” He added, “Now I know what kind of goal I should live for,” and when the production team jokingly asked, “Is your goal to use a ₩3 million cream?”, he nodded, causing another burst of laughter. He then joked, “I guess I should stop buying you guys meals. Let’s go to a snack shop instead of our usual barbecue place,” leaving the production team flustered and amused.
The video also honestly showed the daily life of a kangaroo tribe member, a term used to describe adults who continue living with their parents. Jay Park shared that his mother often nags him to throw away his clothes, and added that even his pet dog Oscar is taken care of more attentively by his parents. Pointing at a table filled with home-cooked dishes, he said, “This is the advantage,” but added, “The downside is that I can’t buy a penthouse.”
Viewers responded with comments such as, “He’s totally in son mode at home despite his image,” and “He may be born with good skin, but his skincare routine is very realistic.” Jay Park is currently appearing as a producer on Mnet’s hip-hop survival show Show Me the Money 12, which airs every Thursday at 9:20 p.m. on Mnet and TVING. Through the reveal of his everyday life—so different from his charismatic onstage persona—he continues to showcase another side of his charm.
