K-pop soloist and former DAY6 member Jae Park made headlines on July 4 after delivering a powerful political message at Indonesia’s Prambanan Jazz Festival. During his headlining performance on the festival’s Brahma stage, Park closed the show by chanting “Free, free Palestine” — a declaration that was met with loud cheers and chants of support from the crowd.

The emotional moment quickly went viral on social media. Clips posted to platforms like X, Instagram, and Reddit showed festivalgoers enthusiastically responding as the words “Free Palestine” appeared on the stage visuals. A post on r/popculturechat also noted that one of the screens read “No child deserves to die,” echoing growing global outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Fans across social platforms praised Park for taking a bold and compassionate stand. Many expressed admiration for his willingness to speak out at an international event, using his platform to advocate for the Palestinian people amid ongoing violence and suffering.

The moment added to a wave of artists around the world using their voices to support Palestinian liberation. Park’s message — delivered not in a tweet but on a live stage, in front of thousands — resonated deeply with a generation increasingly engaged in issues of justice and human rights.

As chants of “Free Palestine” rang out in unison with Park’s call, the performance stood as a striking reminder of music’s power to raise awareness and inspire global solidarity.
