Park appeared on the YouTube channel "Eyes Magazine" on March 5.
"At the time I left the team, I only felt sorry and apologetic," he said, adding that he had caused "disrespect and harm" to many people.
He said he did not feel anxious. "I really live by accepting things as they come," Park said. "I’m the type to do my best in the situation I’m given, so I wasn’t anxious."
Park also described a cover video he posted from Seattle after leaving 2PM, calling it "the reason I was able to come back." He said YouTube was surging at the time and it was popular for Asian Americans to upload cover videos. He said he filmed the clip in a bathroom on a MacBook he had received as a gift to share his musical tastes, and it reached 3 million views in a day. He said that led to offers and allowed him to resume activities.
Park, who was promoting with 2PM, left the group in 2009 and returned to the United States after posts he had left on U.S. social media became controversial amid claims they criticized South Korea. He later debuted as a solo singer and is currently a singer and the head of an agency.
