Jay Park posts proof shot holding underwear thrown by fans at Atlanta concert

Singer Jay Park posted photos taken at his Atlanta, USA concert site via Instagram on September 9. In the released photos, Jay Park is shirtless and smiling brightly while holding women's underwear in both hands. The underwear appears to be a gift thrown onto the stage by enthusiastic fans during the performance.

According to media reports, the act of throwing underwear toward pop stars is part of a performance culture that has continued for decades in the West. British singer Tom Jones once recalled an anecdote of receiving underwear as a gift from a fan during a New York performance in 1968, mentioning it as a popular expression of affection.

Similar experiences are also increasing among K-pop singers during overseas tours. In the past, SHINee's Onew and members of MONSTA X revealed that they had also received underwear thrown by fans during performances in South America, explaining that this is one of the common ways of cheering locally.

However, some raise concerns that such actions could be perceived as sexual harassment toward the artist. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the act of throwing objects onto the stage itself requires caution, as it may threaten the performer's safety or pose a risk of injury due to objects falling on the floor.
