In the last episode of god Joon Park AND Fly in the sky Brian Joothe show online BYOB Pocha, JY Park (also known as JYP, Park Jin Young and The Asian Soul) guested.
While God was formed by SidusHQdebuting in 1999, they were the first K-Pop group produced by JY Park, as he was their mentor. When their contract with SidusHQ expired, God signed with JYP entertainment.
While I was a guest BYOB PochaJY Park revealed that he knew when the group members lied to him and went clubbing. He explained that the group was having success, selling millions of albums.
JY Park was doing his best to keep them grounded, while Dio started acting like celebrities. Then he brought them to the United States
I did everything I could to keep them there, but it wasn’t easy. One day I brought them to the United States. So, I had to take him away from the Korean community and then you know what I did…

They start to act a bit like celebrities, I did everything I could to hold them back, to keep them there (not letting the fame go to their head) but it wasn’t easy.

JY Park was worried about Dio’s clubbing. So he called all the club managers and told them to inform him if Dio made a reservation.
I called the clubs and the club manager. “If God makes a reservation, call me.” Ok, the first week is fine. The second week is fine. Third week, finally a call. ‘Hey JY, we just got a reservation… from Joon.’

Brian was surprised to find out that Joon went clubbing back then. Joon defended himself, explaining that it was 2003. Yet, JY Park continued.
They all jumped into the car. They’re going to the club and I called them… I said, “Hey Joon.” “Oh, JY.” I said, ‘Where are you going?’ And they’re like, ‘Oh, you know, just go out and get something at the convenience store.’
—JY
JY Park revealed that she called Joon, who lied about where they were going. When JY Park said he would meet them in their room, the members turned back. Brian was shocked. Joon lied to JY Park, but Joon defended himself.
