Music, which had begun spreading into Silla during his father's reign, had become a part of everyday life in Silla by Jabi's reign.

In 474, Goguryeo launched a massive assault on Baekje, Silla's neighbor to the west. Jabi sent troops to aid Baekje, forming a historic alliance between the two kingdoms which lasted into the 6th century.
