However, a recent video seems to have some netizens changing their position on the legendary idol!
J.Y Park is 51 years old, and the image most fans have of him is of his present-day looks.
In a video shared on TikTok, several videos of J.Y Park, likely from the 90s and early 2000s, show the idol appearing on variety shows. His hair is styled more similarly to current boy group members, a reminder that he technically is from the first generation of idols.
The video is currently going viral and, as of writing, has over 778,000 views and over eight thousand comments.

Speaking of comments, the tone is very different than when J.Y. Park is typically discussed, with many reconsidering their thoughts on the artist.
Some commenters even believe J.Y. Park bears a resemblance to Stray Kids‘ Seungmin and the Bratz character Dylan.
What do you think of J.Y Park’s younger self?
