Park JinYoung, Supporting the Wonder Girls’ US Launch by Passionately Carrying Out the Work of 100 Men

Park JinYoung (JYP) may be the chief of the Wonder Girls’ management company JYPE, but he is drawing attention for his passionate involvement in helping the group launch its career in America. JYP is currently active as creative director, producer, and even manager to the group and can be said to be singlehandedly carrying out the work of 100 men.

In order to introduce the Wonder Girls to music industry representatives through an American tour, he successfully secured an opening act position in the North American tour of the popular American idol group the Jonas Brothers. Now, he is actively doing all that is in his power to support the Wonder Girls in their US launch.

First, as producer to the group, JYP was responsible for taking the Wonder Girls’ original Korean studio recordings and overseeing the re-recording process of the English versions. He also took charge in more detailed preparation by overseeing the choreography and vocals among other elements. In addition, although the Wonder Girls have a manager on location with them in the US, JYP attends each and every concert performance as the Wonder Girls open for the Jonas Brothers’ North American tour and supports the group in the role of manager. Moreover, not only does he aid the group throughout scheduled concert activities, he also works hard to advertise the group after each show by sharing post-performance opinions through his Twitter.

Meanwhile, he is persistent about continuing to meet with music industry representatives on location in discussions regarding the business of launching Wonder Girls’ American career. Hence, he is also fulfilling his duties as head of the group’s management company.

Not only that, it has also been revealed that he is simultaneously overseeing the album release preparations for G-Soul and J-Lim—who are currently preparing for their debuts in America—as well as 2AM and 2PM’s vigorous activity schedule in Korea. He is also composing songs for a new JYP female idol group that is in the works.

In addition, he can also be seen serving the role of the president of the Wonder Girls’ Korean fan club as he makes sure even the most trivial of details get delivered to fans. On the 14th, he—sounding rather overjoyed—took to his Twitter to post the fact that First Lady Michelle Obama and her two daughters had attended the Jonas Brothers’ concert and seen the Wonder Girls perform.

A JYPE representative explained, “JYP went over to the US first and gained footing as a composer, then he established the JYPE corporate offices there. The result of everything that occurred up until now is finally surfacing little by little through the Wonder Girls’ American launch, so he’s more motivated in his work than ever.”
