« JYP Tour 2009, Let the Good Times Begin
A Look Into The Wonder Girls: Sun Ye »

The tidal wave known as Park Jin-Young surfaced on the Korean pop scene in 1994 with super hit songs; since that time, K-pop has never been the same. He—without a doubt—can be considered Korea’s musical royalty. As a performer, Mr. Park or JYP, as he likes to be called, affected the Korean music industry with a diverse range of genres, such as jazz, soul, R&B and dance.  JYP, along with a select few of groundbreaking Korean artists, added modern fusion into their repertoire and made the Korean music industry a power house that rivals that of the western music industry. All of his personal solo albums are number one chart toppers.

Additionally, he has cultivated hits for other singers by composing, writing, and producing and working not only in Korea, but also throughout Asia and America. In total, JYP’s accomplishments in the background and in production have spearheaded over 31 No.1 hit singles and 25 No.1 chart topping albums. The younger Korean generation has credited him for discovering artists like Son-Ho Young, Noel, G.O.D., Byul, Ivy, Park Ji-Yoon, Rain, The Wonder Girls and most recently, 2am/2pm.

This engineer of the Seoul Train has taken a international seat as a media mogul. This ambition—to push for the top and hone in fierce talent—has made waves worldwide as his name is now alongside great names like Pharrel Williams, Darkchild, Timbaland, Stargate and Rick Rubin.  As CEO of “JYP Entertainment,” the media company he founded, he is constantly helping music evolve, grow and truly become a global language. Universally taking part in music throughout the world, he produced for artists like SMAP & Ai in Japan, Jackie Chung in China, and boy band F4 in Taiwan. He also organized the “I Love Asia” project with Jackie Chan, which aided the Earthquake victims of Szechuan China. In the U.S., his work has reached the billboard charts as he has penned and generated songs for 3LW (CheetahGirls), Aaron Carter, Nick Carter, Cassie, JoJo, Lil’ Jon, Lil’ Kim, Mase, Omarion, Outkast and Will Smith.

Working with these big names have not deterred Mr. Park from his goal in making a celebrated and successful mainstream Asian artist. Most notably, he is taking the helm of the Asian invasion by cultivating some of his top protege trainees and getting them ready to debut. We’re waiting for his new, soulful choices like those of Lim Jeong Hee, who has been compared to Alicia Keys, G-soul who is a polished version Tevin Campbell, and cutie pie Min, who is a mix of Ciara and BoA.  These comparisons are still taken lightly because each of these newbies are in a league of their own.  JYP has recently announced that he will still aid his superstar discovery Rain as he too embarks on a U.S. musical career.

He makes really good music, I have to admit that. I mean that’s why I ended up buying 2PM’s album (I really really liked all the songs) but how come his hair is always in a different direction, it’s like ...whOa there buddy ^-^ you know?

Ok welll maybe he can keep his shiney blue leather pants and get rid of the pleather. And I want him to have at least one pair of his maroon ones from 1996 but maybe we can clean his closet for him and de-90-fy it.

But keep 2 or 3… because well.. I lubs them

Universally taking part in music throughout the world, he produced for artists like SMAP & Ai in Japan, Jackie Chung in China, and boy band F4 in Taiwan.

WHOA! i did not know that, i knew that he was great but damn, he is all over the place, not just Korea and Asia, he is international, no wonder he has so many connections, all i knew of JYP was his awesome producing skills and dancing skills… but when i saw him in the MKMF07 last last year performing the response from the audience was WOW! everybody stood up for him and everything, thats some respect and love right there....

Totally and he is still producing too. Remember he is at the helm of this asian invation as well as working overseas.!

And I love the songs he produces they all have that flair of perfection!

Mister Jin Young Park im so thankful that you brought us all these inspiring artists! Especially the beautiful Wonder Girls. You are a true man of virtue in my eyes. I’m working and studying really hard so that one day I’ll be able to work for you, either it’s picking up your trash, getting you coffee or producing music right by your side! You are an awesome man! I cannot thank you enough smile

ONGGIE! DO YOUR BEST FIGHTING! I hope you get there ..you already sound humble and ready to fight. REmember Se7en also started at the bottom of YG doing anything and being a trainee for placement. Just keep a good eduation and work hard! I believe in YOU!

He is my fav producer! I think I must be
his biggest fan.. I admire his drive more
than anything.. He is such a disciplined
and kind hearted producer… I feel thankful
to him when I see all the artists that came out
of his company.. First G.o.D, Noel, Bi oppa,
Lim Jeong Hee unnie, Wonder Girls and One Day!
I love every single artist in that place! That’s
thanks to JYP! Helps that he is very talented!!
MY SEXY GORILLA!!!! hahahaha ... how about a new
album oppa? your last one was amazing ^^

Ok I guess we tie for biggest JYP fans. Considering I’m not Korean and ran his fan myspace before he actually had an official one.. i’m totally up there on the number one JYP fan mark.

But yes I concur with all you say except he isnt a Gorilla.. But he is sexy.

If you ever see him in person you realize how amazingly handsome he is.. TOTALLY JUK INDA!

His exaggerated features just dont film or photo well. Its because god made him special.

He’s really well known in the entertainment industry and has a lot of pull. He’s worked with US artists too.


Universally taking part in music throughout the world, he produced for artists like SMAP & Ai in Japan, Jackie Chung in China, and boy band F4 in Taiwan.

triANGLE - 02/09/09 5:08 pm

I’ve never heard any of his music before. :X

You probably heard more than you think. He is the writer and producer of many korean pop artists.

Remember he discovered and wrote for GOD, IVY, RAIN, NOEL, JOO, The WOndergirls, and more.. there are some he wrote for that arent even under his wing. and he also composed the song for I LOVE ASIA with Jackie Chan.


LaraVisconti - 02/09/09 7:57 pm

Oh Mia… Ha ha! Don’t go too crazy now.
; )

I promised under 700 words LOL! But I left so much out about him.

*SIGH*


JYP is the bombbbb~
he is such a good artist and such a good dancer!
kiss is my favorite song and dance smile


Princess - 02/09/09 5:16 pm

ALL of his albums were chart toppers?

Yes all of his albums went to number one…

Oh And don’t forget he wrote all of Rains songs, and the wondergirls songs too.

The Lee Ki Chan hit “deon han bun sarang eeun kago” and the song for uhm jung hwa “choedae”.
