Park Jin-young (Hangul: 박진영, Hanja: 朴軫永, born January 13, 1972) also known as J.Y. Park (or simply JYP) is a singer, songwriter, dancer, record producer and the current CEO and founder of JYP Entertainment, a major artist management/record label of Korean pop music.

Music career

Park has released seven albums. He debuted with Blue City in 1994, which was followed by his second album Tantara in 1995. His third album Summer Jingle Bell came out in 1997 and featured the hit song "She Was Pretty". His fourth album Even After 10 Years (1998) featured the song "Honey", and his seventh album Back To Stage (2007) featured the song "Kiss". While maintaining his status as a successful artist, he has also composed and produced over 31 charting singles and 25 albums for various groups in South Korea including Rain and Wonder Girls.

Park also became the first Asian producer to successfully cross over to the U.S., producing music for Will Smith, Mase and Cassie.[citation needed]

In May 2008, Park collaborated with Jackie Chan to form the "I Love Asia" Project, prompted by the earthquake tragedy in China. Park is a capable English speaker, as evidenced by the various interviews he has conducted in the U.S.[2][3] Park also holds a B.A. in Geology from Yonsei University.[citation needed]

In October 2009, JYP also became the first Korean songwriter together with Rainstone to enter the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with the Wonder Girls hit single 'Nobody' which debuted at 76.[4]

On December 3, 2009, JYP released his single, No Love No More.[5]

Acting

In early 2011, JYP made his acting debut in Dream High, for which he received a nomination for New Actor of the Year at the Baek Sang Arts Awards. In November 2011, it was announced that he would star is the sequel Dream High 2. [6]

Business career

Park decided to further expand JYP Entertainment by opening the JYP Manhattan Center in 2007 and the JYP Beijing Center in 2008. At the JYP Manhattan Center, he was training three singers for their American debut in 2010. However, he has postponed their debuts because of the recession.[7] Min has since debuted with Miss A, J Lim has returned to Korea to pursue her career, and G-Soul is still waiting to debut.[8] Every artist that has been managed by JYP has gone through the JYP Academy, a training system that includes intensive training in vocal, dance, acting, and language. JYP is currently in the development stages of producing a U.S. TV show with Lawrence Bender that will be based around the Wonder Girls.[9]

Due to his success in helping to create Asian singers, he was invited to be keynote speaker at Midem 2009, a music conference that brings together over 9,000 professionals from over 90 different countries.[10] In June 2009, JYP Entertainment and the Jonas group has signed the management deal for the Wonder Girls. Wonder Girls, a girl group that J.Y. Park produced, will be releasing an album and joining the tour with the band group Jonas Brothers.[11]

Personal life

Park Jin-young married his wife, Seo Yoon-jeong, in 1999. It was announced in March 2009 that the couple would be divorcing after 10 years of marriage.[12] On the official JYP website, Park noted that although they have been together for 16 years, they grew apart and eventually decided to go their separate ways.[13]
