Maybe this is the beginning of his jinx, just like his dead said he'll be dead before achieving anything, I guess Jaekyung fears that what he said about him not achieving anything will come true in the end. But in a practical way, his bad luck does not come his father's last words, it comes from his father's behavior who seems to be present in him. The only shadow that he fears is his own. The real jinx here is generational curse. If only the author presented these themes from the beginning in a interesting and nuanced way, maybe Jaekyung would be more engaging as a character.
