On the report, Jay also sang a part of the song at the event, and afterwards, Will Smith was asked why he selected Jay Park. He explained, “The producer of the film is my brother in law. He’s my wife’s brother. And his wife is Korean. During the process of working on the film, she was suggesting lots of young Korean artists that could be involved with the film. So Jay came up, and now it’s at the end credits.”
Also revealed by Jay Park where he told Will Smith, “This is the first time in my life ever that I’ve been starstruck. For real. I’ve been watching you ever since I was a little kid.” He told Jaden, “I’ve been seeing your stuff too. Your rap stuff. Thank you so much for coming and blessing us with your presence.”
