Singer Jay Park and mixed martial arts fighter Brian Ortega have reunited, leaving behind a conflict that erupted six years ago.

On the 28th, Brian Ortega posted a photo with Jay Park on his social media.

In the photo, Jay Park and Ortega stand side by side with their arms around each other's shoulders, looking at the camera. Along with the photo, Ortega wrote, "Squashed it. All respect," signaling that they have reconciled.

Jay Park also left a direct comment on the post. He wrote, "Been squashed. if u know u know. Respect. Like i said ive been a fan. T City."

The two's connection dates back to 2020. At that time, Jay Park served as an interpreter for his close friend, mixed martial arts fighter Jung Chan-sung, and was slapped by Ortega. The incident occurred after Ortega mistakenly believed that Jay Park had tried to sow discord between him and Chan-sung.

In November of the same year, Jay Park appeared on MBC's variety show "Radio Star" and directly addressed the situation at the time. He said, "I got hit in a situation where I was just about to speak. (I was slapped on my right cheek), and my jaw was slightly dislocated so that my molars couldn't touch for a month."

He also stated, "Of course, I was angry at the time, but after it passed, I didn't want to keep pouring energy into something like this. I'm too busy living my own life," revealing that he had let go of his emotions as time went on.

After six years, the two met in person and put their arms around each other's shoulders, effectively closing the chapter on their past conflict.

Meanwhile, Brian Ortega is a mixed martial arts fighter from California, United States. He is known by the nickname "T-City" while competing in the UFC.
