J.Y. Park Discusses JYP’s Future on KBS Radio
During the November 5th episode of KBS Cool FM’s “Park Myung-soo’s Radio Show,”music mogul J.Y. Park shared insights about JYP Entertainment’s artists and company dynamics with the show’s host, Park Myung-soo.
Artist Success Over Personal Recognition
In a conversation about the agency’s popular groups, Park Myung-soo highlighted that “TWICE is on Hal Myung-soo today, and ITZY has also appeared on the show before.” In response, J.Y. Park expressed a light-hearted sentiment, stating, “They need to succeed more than I do. My success or failure doesn’t affect the company’s operating profit.”
He elaborated on the importance of staying connected to the music scene, emphasizing, “What’s important for me is not losing my sense of the field since I make many key decisions. There’s always the risk of losing that touch.” J.Y. Park further declared, “The real revenue of the company depends on them. TWICE and ITZY are more important than I am.”
Proud Achievements in the U.S. Market
When prompted by Park Myung-soo about TWICE’s significant success in the U.S., J.Y. Park beamed with pride, confirming, “Yes, they’re doing well in the U.S.” He also stressed the importance of ITZY’s upcoming release, stating, “My new song ‘Easy Lover’ is relatively less important. We have a large staff, so other artists in the company need to succeed even more,” eliciting laughter from the audience.
Reflections on the Wonder Girls’ Legacy
The dialogue seamlessly transitioned to reminiscences about the Wonder Girls’ ambitious attempt to penetrate the U.S. market. Park Myung-soo reminisced, “When no one else was trying to enter the U.S. market, you took Wonder Girls there. I was amazed, thinking, ‘How did he even come up with that challenge?’”
