Park giving artists advice on how to handle mental health has created a stir. Many fans felt angry and described his words as uncaring. It has also sparked conversation on how idols should deal with emotions. Read on to know!

In the video from his time on the PSICK SHOW, he talked about what he tells his artists. He said that everyone can have a bad day, whether they feel sad or tired.

Some pointed out that several JYP artists have needed breaks because of anxiety or other issues. They say that telling idols to act happy all the time is wrong. Hence, instead of hiding pain, fans want them to express their emotions proudly. On the other hand, some people said that his advice is “reasonable”. In their words, “As bad as it sounds, he is right. If the artist looks sad or depressed, it will make everybody feel worried or depressed as well. But imo it’s sad they need to hide it.”
