John Park says viral McDonald rap's 9.1 million views have left him feeling 'overrated and scared'

Singer John Park expressed his sense of burden regarding the unexpected popularity of the "McDonald's Rap" that recently captured public attention.

On the 11th, a preview video for the web variety show "John Park Pays for Dinner" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Theo.' In the video, John Park discussed the rap he had performed at a McDonald's store with rapper Nucksal.

John Park said, "Recently, after doing the McDonald's rap and it becoming a topic of conversation, I became really scared," adding, "I never intended to be funny for even a single moment, nor did I plan to go all in."

In response, Nucksal joked, "Don't lie. You tried your absolute best. With the McDonald's rap, you looked over the wall. You must have thought you could reach that level."

John Park stated, "I respected hip-hop and gave it 100% of my effort, but the resulting quality is quite low," revealing his concern about being evaluated too highly compared to his actual rap skills.

When Nucksal asked, "Didn't you write the lyrics yourself?" John Park replied, "I worked harder on them than on the lyrics for my album," eliciting laughter.

Nucksal praised John Park for matching the rhyme scheme of "money" and "McFlurry" in the lyrics. John Park explained, "It wasn't intentional, but it just turned out that way as I was doing it."

John Park confessed, "Because people keep saying 'you're good, you're good,' I don't want to disappoint them," adding, "I worry that rappers I really like might think poorly of me after seeing this."

Nucksal retorted, "That's excessive self-consciousness. You can just say 'thank you.'" He continued with a joke, saying, "John Park shouldn't rap. He is a very dangerous seed. I saw a comment saying John Park is 90% settled at this point, but that's wrong. He is about 95% settled."

Previously, John Park released a video on his YouTube channel 'John or Park' last month, in which he ordered food at a McDonald's store using rap. As of the 12th, the video has surpassed 9.1 million views and continues to draw attention.
