So, as Mark was briefly explaining, instantly, somebody from the viewers shouted, “F*ck JYP!” JYP could be stated in reference to both the corporate JYP Entertainment or its proprietor and founder JYP (also called J. Y. Park and The Asiansoul).
Mark heard the expression and was shocked. He communicated for them to cease.
No, no, no, no, no! Wooo weee. Bleep! Ey, ey ey ey ey!

So, you already know, it’s simply how I felt being in that business. I felt like, you already know, we weren’t in a position to be 100% with you guys, and, you already know we undergo a variety of feelings too, up right here on stage and it’s… It will get onerous, you already know, and that’s why I sort of needed to place this album out, for my followers, to hook up with you guys on a deeper degree.
— Mark Tuan
At every live performance, Mark emphasizes that the opposite aspect is personally for him and his followers, nobody else, encouraging them to “f*ck all those haters.”
I actually needed to make this album particular to me and particular to my supporters… So, I stated it a few days in the past, however this album is only for you guys. I actually don’t care what different individuals assume.
