Signature

Park initially rose to fame as the leader of South Korean boy band 2PM, formed by record label JYP Entertainment in 2008, after having previously been a trainee for four years.[12] In September 2009, Park returned home to Seattle after comments he wrote about Korea in 2005 as a teenager were publicized by the Korean media; Park officially left the group in September 2009.[13][14] In March 2010, Park uploaded a cover video of B.o.B's hit "Nothin' on You", with his own rap and lyrics, to YouTube,[15] which went viral and reached over 2,000,000 views in less than 24 hours,[16] leading to the release of Park's first EP, Count on Me in July 2010, which debuted at number one on the Gaon chart.[17] Park returned to South Korea in June 2010 for the filming of Hype Nation,[18] and in July 2010, Park signed a contract with SidusHQ, one of the largest entertainment agencies in South Korea.[19]

Rebranding and re-debuting as both a solo singer and a rapper, Park's musical identity would lend to him partaking in the underground hip hop culture in South Korea, a rarity for both active and former K-Pop idols.[20] Park's first mini album, Take a Deeper Look, released in 2011, went multi-platinum in South Korea. Park became the first ever artist crowned winner on a debut stage by winning on KBS' Music Bank with "Abandoned",[21] and was the only solo artist to win "Record of the Year" at the 2011 Golden Disk Awards.[22] Later in 2011, Park co-starred in the Korean movie Mr. Idol and joined the cast of KBS' Immortal Songs 2.[23]

In February 2012, Jay Park released his first full-length album, New Breed, which quickly topped charts in South Korea and internationally. The album went multi-platinum in Korea in less than a week.[24] Park also released an English mixtape, Fresh Air: Breathe It, which became the first mixtape by an Asian artist to achieve gold status on DatPiff for surpassing 100,000 downloads.[25] Following the release of New Breed in 2012, Park held his first solo concert in Seoul, and began embarking on tours internationally. In 2013, Park became a permanent cast member of tvN's Saturday Night Live Korea.[26] In 2014, Jay Park performed in South by Southwest (SXSW)'s music festival as a Korean representative pop singer.[27]

In 2015 Park released his third full length album, Worldwide.[28] The 18-track rap project contained viral club hits such as "Mommae", and boasted an assortment of appearances from veteran K-hip hop artists such as Gaeko of Dynamic Duo and Tablo of Epik High. In late 2016, Jay Park released his 4th solo album, Everything You Wanted, featuring R&B songs in both English and Korean.[29] The project debuted at #3 on Billboard’s World Album Chart.[30] In 2017, Jay Park was featured and selected as one of the celebrities in Forbes' 30 under 30 Asia list.[31]

In August 2017, Jay Park announced a partnership with Jay-Z's entertainment agency Roc Nation, garnering worldwide recognition surrounding his foray into the US market as the first Asian American signed to the label.[32] In 2018, Park dropped his debut US music capsule, Ask Bout Me.[33]

Biography

Early years

Born in Edmonds, Washington, in the Seattle metropolitan area, Park showed great interest in hip hop music and breakdancing at a young age. Park attended Edmonds Woodway and Meadowdale High School, where he spent most of his break and lunch times practicing dance with friends.[34][35] Park started listening to hip hop and rap music in his early teens, and spent time learning and writing raps himself during high school.[36] In 2003, Park became one of the first members of the Seattle-based b-boy crew Art of Movement (AOM). Often skipping classes to participate in b-boy competitions, Park would have continuous clashes with his mother regarding his lack of interest in academics and potential higher education. In 2004, Park's mother, seeing how her son spent more time breakdancing than studying, suggested he try out for a locally advertised talent audition, which was organized by South Korean conglomerate JYP Entertainment.[37] With his family financially struggling at the time, Park auditioned for the program, believing it to be a contest where the winner would receive a monetary prize reward.[38] Unbeknownst to Park, the success of his audition would eventually lead to him being officially contacted and selected by JYP Entertainment to be apart of a Korean boy band as an idol. In January 2005, Park was brought to South Korea to receive training in dancing, rapping, singing, and the Korean language under the strict supervision of JYPE.[39] Park eventually completed his university education at Dankook University.[40]

2008–2009: 2PM

Park first appeared through Mnet's Hot Blood Men, a documentary-style reality program that showed the future members of One Day, split as idol groups 2AM and 2PM, in training. Park, finishing at the top spot with the most fan votes, became the leader of 2PM.[12] On September 4, 2008, 2PM debuted with the song "10 Out of 10" (Korean: 10점 만점에 10점; Revised Romanization: Ship Jeom Manjeome Ship Jeom) on the music program M! Countdown after the release of their first mini-album, Hottest Time of the Day, a few days prior.[41] Aside from 2PM's music activities, Park created the song "Jeong" (Korean: 정) with Yeeun of the Wonder Girls for the original soundtrack of the television drama Conspiracy in the Court, and featured on V.O.S's "To Luv...".[42] He also participated in special stage performances, such as Navi's "Heart Damage" (Korean: 마음이 다쳐서; Revised Romanization: Maeumi Dachyeoseo) on May 3, 2009,[43] and K.Will's "One Drop per Second" (Korean: 1초에 한방울; Revised Romanization: Il Choe Hanbangul) on June 20, 2009.[44] In addition to Idol Show and Wild Bunny with fellow 2PM members, he also became a regular cast member in several variety programs, including Star King and Introducing a Star's Friend.[45] In August 2009, he and Kara band member, Nicole Jung, became the new hosts for a cultural variety show called Nodaji.[46]

On September 4, 2009, unfavorable comments towards Korea were found on Park's personal Myspace account from 2005. The comments, written in English to a friend, were translated by Korean media, quickly spreading across hundreds of news articles. Park expressed deep remorse and shame over his forgotten words and issued an official apology, explained the unhappiness that he experienced during his early days as a trainee in an unfamiliar country where he lacked family, the ability to easily communicate, and an understanding of the culture.[47] Although outraged protesters demanded that Park should be removed from 2PM, JYP Entertainment's CEO, Park Jin-young, stated on September 7, 2009, that he was going to continue as a part of the group.[48] The following day, Park announced on his official fancafe that he would be leaving the group to calm the situation and return to his hometown, Seattle, Washington. He also apologized to the other 2PM members, and promised that he would "come back a better person".[14] Park Jin-young then confirmed that 2PM would continue as a six-member group.[49] Additionally, due to the sensitive topic of Park's departure, all 2PM members were withdrawn from their regular appearances on variety shows,[50] and the final episode of their reality show, Wild Bunny, was postponed indefinitely.[51] Park's vocals would not be removed from the older songs he promoted with 2PM, but he would be absent from the newer tracks, and the remaining six members of 2PM re-filmed their music video for "Heartbeat" without Park on October 31, 2009.[52]

2PM's first official album was titled 1:59PM, to symbolize Park's absence, according to the six remaining members.[53] Through their acceptance speeches at end-of-year award shows for "Again & Again", the members thanked Park and reiterated their wish for his return. At the Mnet Asian Music Awards, the group paid homage to him during their performance of "Again & Again" with a spotlight shown over his usual position in the dance formation and his lines left unsung.[54][55]

2010: YouTube career and solo debut

Soon after Park returned to the United States, the South Korean public changed their perspective on the matter when they realized that his Myspace messages had been severely mistranslated and taken out of context, in addition to strong fan support for Park's return.[56] Park was seen at b-boy battles with fellow Art of Movement members during his time in Seattle. However, on February 25, with Park's comeback looking more and more likely, JYP suddenly announced that Jay Park's contract with them had been terminated, citing a separate "personal mistake" that Park had made in 2009.[57] JYP would make reference to this unknown event several times in 2010, but would never elaborate on any details. This termination had been agreed by all six members of 2PM and led to fan boycotts on 2PM-endorsed products. Protests for Park's return to the group began to take place, not only in South Korea, but internationally as well.[58] Various Jay Park-dedicated forums and fansites all over the world organized silent protests and flash dance mobs.[56] Fans also hired a plane with a banner showing "J, what time is it now?" to fly over Seattle, and was broadcast on Seattle-based radio stations.[59][60]

On several occasions, Park was the number one trending topic on Twitter, even topping the Oscars on March 8.[61] Park's fans revealed plans to release a self-produced album in his honor on March 27 to commemorate the 200th day anniversary of his departure from Korea.[62] However, because the album had been in preparation since January and public opinion on 2PM had since changed, the fans decided it would be in the best interest to not release the CD, and instead, mailed 10–20 copies to Seattle, Park's hometown.[63]

Park created his own YouTube channel on March 15, "jayparkaom", with the first upload being his own version of "Nothin' on You", which went viral and reached over 2,000,000 views in less than 24 hours.[16] In Korea, the original song by B.o.B and Bruno Mars topped the Cyworld music chart in a matter of hours upon the video's release.[64] "Nothin' on You" earned $300,000 in sales through the effect of Park's video.[65] On June 15, 2010, B.o.B released "Nothin' on You" featuring Park, in South Korea, where he replaces Bruno Mars' vocals. His YouTube cover helped contribute to much of the song's success in Korea, with more than 5 million copies sold.[66] Park subsequently thanked his fans for their support and continued to urge them not to hate remaining 2PM members.[67]

Park and some members of his b-boy crew, Art of Movement

He appeared with fellow Art of Movement members at an annual Korean-American festival event called Project Korea III: KSA Cinderella Story at Rutgers University, New Jersey on April 3, along with Ailee and Clara C.[68] Videos of the event were uploaded onto internet portal sites, where footage of Park acting as an MC and dancing to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" on stage drew much positive interest.[69] On April 24, Dumbfoundead released a free collaboration track featuring Park and Clara Chung on his website, titled "Clouds".[70]

Los Angeles-based entertainment attorney Ned Sherman, CEO of Digital Media Wire, announced on May 28 that he was representing Park as his legal representative.[71][72] Sherman and his wife Tinzar reached out to Park, after seeing Park's story and feeling bad about what happened to him during the MySpace controversy.[73][74] The Shermans and Park worked on a lot of projects together, including his movie deal for Hype Nation, an endorsement deal with dENiZEN, Levi Strauss & Co.'s new brand, and others.[75][76]

Park returned to Korea on June 18 at Incheon International Airport, to the biggest crowd ever seen at the airport, for the filming of Hype Nation.[18] "Park Jaebeom has returned" became the biggest headline in Korea that day, and "JayIsBack" shot up immediately on the trending topics on Twitter on June 18 at 9:30 AM GMT.[77] Pictures of Park in Hype Nation were released on July 2,[78] and Park was able to meet with the Korean media for interviews for the first time, talking about his current activities.[79] It was also revealed that his single "Demon" would be included in Hype Nation's original soundtrack.[80]

On September 1, 2014, Jay Park released his second full-length album, Evolution.[182] With features and production from many of his AOMG labelmates such as Simon Dominic and Gray, the album presented tributes to Michael Jackson and R&B throwback ballads in its 17 tracks.[183]

In 2015, Jay Park participated as a judge on Mnet's rap competition program Show Me the Money 4. During the same year, Park released an extensive list of songs including "Lotto", "All I Got Time For", "On It", "Want It", "Mommae" and "Sex Trip". Park released "My Last" featuring Loco and Gray in July 17, 2015 alongside a music video.[184] On November 5, 2015, Jay Park released his third official studio album, Worldwide. The album was released alongside lead single "You Know (뻔하잖아)", which featured Okasian and a music video. Directed by the production company Tiger Cave, the music video starred 4Minute's HyunA and featured cameos from other Korean talents such as rappers Reddy and Ugly Duck, among others. The hip hop project contained a total of 18 tracks and contained some of the songs Park had previously released in the year, such as "Mommae". The album also debuted at number five on Billboard's World Albums chart. Soon after the album's release, Park released music videos for the tracks "Bo$", "Worldwide x Want It" and "In this B*tch x My".

On October 20, 2016, Park released his fourth solo album Everything You Wanted. The bilingual project contained 19 tracks and featured R&B songs in both English and Korean.[185] Upon release the album debuted at number three on Billboard's World Albums chart.

On October 21, 2016, Far East Movement released their album Identity including the track "SXWME", which features MNEK and Jay Park.[186]

On July 20, 2017, it was announced that Jay-Z's Roc Nation had signed Park for his activities in the US, marking the first ever Asian American artist on the record label.[187] Later that same month, it was announced that Park would be replacing Melanie C and Vanness Wu as one of the judges on the second season of Asia's Got Talent, alongside Anggun and David Foster.[188]

In 2017, Jay Park founded record label H1GHR Music with producer Cha Cha Malone, with an aim to bring both Seattle and South Korean talent to the hip hop forefront.[189] Currently, the label houses American and South Korean artists such as Golden, GroovyRoom, pH-1, Sik-K, Woogie, Ph One, Raz Simone, and Ted Park.[190]

In May 2018, Park released his first official single under Roc Nation, "SOJU" featuring 2 Chainz.[191] On July 20, 2018, Park released his debut American project, Ask Bout Me. Along with "SOJU", the seven track EP featured several notable American rappers such as Rich the Kid and Vic Mensa, as well as in-house production from AOMG and H1GHR Music artists such as Cha Cha Malone and GroovyRoom.[192]

In November 2019, Jay Park released a collaborative EP with American producer Hit-Boy, called This Wasn't Supposed to Happen. Named after the surprise nature of the duo's collaboration,This Wasn't Supposed to Happen marked Park's second release under Roc Nation, and was preceded by their single "K-Town".[193] In the month after, Park collabed with Latin artist and fellow Roc Nation signee Mozart La Para for the single "Son Malas".[194] Both singles contained music videos.

Artistry

Influences
Usher (left) and Michael Jackson (right) are two of Park's biggest influences

Park's music takes its roots in R&B and hip hop, more specifically from the 90s.[195] He is influenced by the work of American artists he grew up listening to, such as Usher, Michael Jackson, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Ginuwine, Musiq Soulchild, Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, Tupac, Dr. Dre, and Canibus.[73][94][196][197] Park credits Usher as his idol and as one of his biggest influences, who he started listening to in the 6th grade.[198][199] He also cites Michael Jackson as his role model, as "he is the best".[196] He cites both Usher and Michael Jackson as singers and dancers who influence him vocally and in dance, as he attempts to mimic them, looking at their music videos.[199] Park also cites Chris Brown as an inspiration, and wants "to be a singer who can be good at both singing and rapping like [him]".[197] Park began listening to hip hop music when he was in second grade, after one of his cousins let him listen to Warren G's "Regulate".[73][200] In general, Park stated he "doesn't really listen to music to get inspiration, I listen to music because I listen to music, but I do get inspired when I listen to music, it definitely helps".[201]

For his dance, Park highlights Art of Movement, Skill Methods, and Massive Monkees as b-boy crews that influence him.[202][203] He also cites Andrew Baterina from SoReal Cru; Movement Lifestyle's members Keone Madrid, Lyle Beniga, and Shaun Evaristo; Ian Eastwood; and Twitch.[202][203] Park is also inspired by Taiwanese-American NBA player Jeremy Lin, saying that Lin "was off the radar and now he's playing with the best of the best. People can't hate on him even though they want to because he's so good. That's how a K-pop star has to be over in America if they want to succeed. They have to be so good in every single way that even if people hate, they can't really say anything".[204]

Musical style

Jay Park's music is generally contemporary R&B and hip hop, but he also incorporates pop, dance, soul, electronic and acoustic into his songs.[205] Prior to debuting with 2PM, Park was coached vocally by former SOLID member and renowned R&B artist Kim Jo-han, also known to be the vocal coach of many idols in the industry.[206][207] Kim went on to say that "[Park] has an appealing and unique voice" and "definitely stood out amongst the rest".[206] Park began to write rap lyrics in eighth grade.[208] Since becoming a solo artist, he has complete creative control over his music : he writes and composes his own songs, produces his albums, chooses the people he wants to work with, and participates in the mastering and mixing of his songs, something almost unheard-of for a singer in the Korean music industry.[73][208][209] More than making hit songs, Park says he wants people to hear to his style of music, to make them listen to "Jay Park-sounding" music.[209][210] Being fluent in both English and Korean, Park writes songs in these two languages.[16] He admits that he is more at ease when writing songs in English than in Korean, as he started learning Korean in his late teens.[208] In 2011, Park stated that the music he currently creates is "the music that I wanted to do" prior to his departure from 2PM.[211] His musical process starts by listening to a lot of beats sent by various producers, while thinking of what kind of song he wants to write, and eventually short-listing a selection of potential beats to work with.[208] Then, Park works on the melody of the song, along with ideas and lyrics. He writes the hook of the song first, and finally the verses.[212][213] Park is inspired by everything when writing songs: "just listening to good songs, seeing a good live performance, having good conversations with people. Just everyday life".[214] Some songs Park wrote are influenced by songs from other artists, for example, his song "Turn Off Your Phone" (Korean: 전화기를 꺼놔; Revised Romanization: Jeonhwagireur Kkeonwa) from his album New Breed was inspired by Leessang's hit single "Turn Off the TV ..." (Korean: TV를 껐네…; Revised Romanization: TV Reurkkeotne) from their 7th album Asura Balbalta.[208]

Endorsements

In July 2010, Park was announced to be endorsing Levi Strauss & Co.'s new brand, dENiZEN. He had previously revealed on YouTube in June 2010, before coming back to Korea, that he was at a photoshoot without revealing it was for dENiZEN.[215] He continued to endorse the brand until the end of 2011 with female model Kwon Ri-sae.[216] Park and Kwon recorded a remix duet song of dENiZEN's theme song, "Manifesto".[217]

In early 2012, Park was chosen by KT Tech to be the official model of Take HD, a new smartphone by the brand.[218] Park released the maxi-single "Take HD Special Maxi Album" on February 7, 2012, produced by KT Tech to promote the smartphone.[219] The maxi-single includes remixes of Park's lead single from his album New Breed, "Know Your Name", released on the same day.

Park appears with fellow SidusHQ celebrities Jang Hyuk, Kim Su-ro, Kim Shin-young and Jang Hee-jin in the MMORPG Lineage 2 as supporting characters.[220]

On behalf of Naver's first "Fashion Collaboration" event, Park also with fashion designer 275C for creation of a joint T-shirt titled Live Free, representing Park's free mind and lifestyle, and displaying both the Space Needle from Seattle, his hometown, and the Namsan Tower from Seoul, where he currently lives. The back of the T-shirt shows the names of his b-boy crews Art of Movement and Korean Assassins, and dance collaboration team, Project Prepix Asia.[221]

Park was also chosen to endorse and model for casual clothing brand Googims for their 2012 collections; after the announcement was made, it was stated that "the brand's home page server was down every five minutes".[222] A behind the scenes video of Park performing an impromptu dance to "Gangnam Style" by Psy at a Googims photo shoot was uploaded to YouTube on September 2, 2012, capturing the public's attention for his unique take of the choreography.[223][224] Park also has been selected as the new model for outdoor clothing brand, Williamsburg, participating in TV commercials and fan-signing events.[225]

In March 2013, Park, a long time fan of Nike, participated at a Nike event in Seoul, Korea, titled "Nike on Air", which was streamed live online via Ustream. Park is currently sponsored by Nike Korea, and has modeled various times for the apparel company.

In 2016, Park, alongside Jessica Jung, Tian Yo, Charlene, and Pakho Chau modeled for Adidas's Celebration of Sportswear campaign. In March 2016, Park modeled for Umbro Korea's 'Reborn to Heritage' campaign; and did a photoshoot for Police Sunglasses, which was featured in the April issue of Dazed Korea magazine.

Personal life

On March 8, 2020, a police report was filed against Brian Ortega for alleged slapping Park who serves as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight fighter Chan Sung Jung's (Korean Zombie) translator and a good friend of Jung while Jung went to the bathroom at UFC 248.[226][227]

gollark: I'm trying to get the CBOR library skynet uses to run, but due to the stupidity of all JS tooling the compiler just outputs a ridiculous error.
gollark: Parcel is a nice zero-configuration bundler, except the zero-configuration approach and the fragility of the JS ecosystem means it just broke for no reason.
gollark: Ugh, I'll just use webpack and make myself suffer probably more.
gollark: Well, skynet itself is in Rust, but the web UI is JS-based, obviously.
gollark: I'm working on some new skynet features, actually, but JS is annoying and stupid.
