Singer John Park revealed his honest thoughts on the viral McDonald's rap.
On the 2nd, John Park released a video titled "Emergency Meeting on the John Park McDonald's Incident" through his YouTube channel 'John or Park'.
In the video, while discussing the recently popular "McDonald's Rap" with a producer, John Park said, "What is going on? Take responsibility. How are you going to take responsibility?" The producer responded, "I thought you would keep it in check," and John Park stated, "I didn't expect the reaction to be this good. I am stunned and feel a heavy burden. It feels like something is wrong." He added, "Wherever I go, people say 'I enjoyed the rap' or ask me to do a rap."
John Park said, "I have only used bars twice in my life. Both were already released on 'John or Park.'" He continued, "Due to my schedule, I have no time to practice or write bars. Many people think that because I had a meeting with the members of DADU and a one-month gap, I must have undergone great training during that time. But there was nothing in between; I wrote McDonald's bars and practiced for one day."
John Park added, "It seems the members of DADU gave me a good team. After hearing their tips, I decided to try it once, so I practiced more than 100 times in one day." He stated, "I kept recording and listening, polishing only that part until it became listenable. In reality, my true skill level is at the bottom, which is why I am scared."
John Park said, "In a way, this is a result of me practicing very well, but saying 'John Park is good at hip-hop' is not actually accurate." He added, "I am grateful that you are listening well, but it really feels like a burden. My true level will be revealed soon. I think I need to get scolded thoroughly once for this fire to die down."
In particular, upon hearing that the 'McDonald's Rap' reel had surpassed 8 million views, John Park said, "This is crazy." He confessed, "If I were a comedian, this would be a great situation. As someone who makes my own music, I actually feel a reality check. My summer single promotion video didn't even get 200,000 views. I worked so hard on it."
He continued, "Should I rap? Should I release tracks that mix in rapping?" He stated, "I must not fall into such devilish temptations. It is a shortcut to failure."
