The breakup of the duo Jack & K-ICM seems almost certain and remains one of the hottest topics among the online community from the old year into the new one. Although the outcome is still unknown, both sides have begun to take completely opposing actions. While ICM Entertainment asserts that Jack is still an employee of the company with a 5-year contract, on the other side, the singer’s personal page has completely erased all information related to the company.
Despite marking a partial return with the demo of “Đom Đóm,” achieving top 1 trending just 4 hours after release with only 4 lines, Jack still seems to be out of the spotlight and it’s unclear when he will return. Continuously encouraging fans on his personal Facebook, even releasing a clip to reach out, it appears this has not eased Jack’s mind. Most recently, on the evening of January 1st, the singer’s mother personally posted a status to reassure fans and explain why Jack’s situation is still being kept under wraps.
The exact wording of Jack’s mother’s post: (Jack is often referred to as Jack Mèo by fans, while Thiên An is the female lead who frequently stars in music videos with Jack).
It can be said that Jack’s influence remains significant, as just a few hours after posting, his mother’s status attracted over 2,000 comments and received 10,000 interactions. According to her, all information about Jack at present remains undisclosed, and it is due to the health and safety of the singer. Moreover, Jack’s mother admitted that there are currently many fake websites emerging, with unclear intentions, subtly implying that her son might be harmed.
Clearly, with this affirmation, the day Jack officially returns and the resolution of this drama remains uncertain. Previously, ViruSs, after helping his younger brother post the demo of “Đom Đóm,” revealed that the song would be released soon. Meanwhile, Jack himself has reached out to encourage his fans, stating, “I am still healthy and will fight at all costs! Thank you, thank you all!”
In light of the turmoil between Jack and the company, his friend, who has also performed alongside him on every stage, K-ICM, has yet to officially comment on the past events. Currently, the singer’s YouTube channel has dropped to only 4.3 million subscribers amidst the trend of unfollowing by the online community.
