Jay Park resolves conflict with JYP-KPCI… “Cooperation with TV appearances” formulated

Singer Jay Park sprouted new wings to resume his activities after resolving numerous conflicts that came after his withdrawal from 2PM.

The Korean Public Culture-Arts Industry Union (KPCI) and 2PM’s agency, JYP Entertainment, declared that their strife with Jay Park, currently an affiliated artist of SidusHQ, has come to an end. They formulated their intentions to cooperate with Jay Park’s TV appearances.

KPCI sent out official documents regarding Jay Park’s TV appearances to each of the national broadcast stations on the 23^rd.

In this document, KPCI stated, “Jay Park, who was previously a member of 2PM, disappointed and worried many of those that cared about him, due to his past mistakes. However, he will now restart his career as a solo in this industry with his new family.” They continued, “The apology from Jay Park was an opportunity for us to confirm the matured person he’s become and to recognize that he courageously made a hard decision to accept his past mistakes and ask for forgiveness. We also judged that he is ready to show better stages to this big frame called ‘Public Culture Industry’ as well as his fans who send him infinite love.”

They explained, “This is not only the judgement of the KPCI, but also that of Jay Park’s previous agency, JYP Entertainment. We confirmed that they are in agreement with this statement,” and included the official documents from JYP Entertainment. They added that they “wish to see Jay Park be active with full vitality once again.”

Hereby, Jay Park announced a new beginning to his entertainment career by resolving the timeworn misunderstandings and mistakes.

Meanwhile, Jay Park gathered attention by writing an honest apology to JYP Entertainment’s leader, Park Jin-Young and the members of 2PM, for the first time after his withdrawal.

Complex interviews Jay on his comeback, love for hip-hop, and a possible U.S. album

Complex Magazine‘s Donnie Kwak (@KwakaFlocka) holds an in-depth interview with Jay, revealing our man’s thoughts on past controversies and rumors, his comeback, how to be successful in the U.S., tattoos, tell-all books, meeting Lupe Fiasco, and collaborating with other Asian American artists. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

Complex: What’s next for you? How would you want Complex readers who aren’t familiar with you to get to know you?

Jay Park: I worked with a whole bunch of producers when I was in L.A. I worked with Greg Ogan [Britney Spears, Rihanna], Stereotypes [Ne-Yo, Justin Bieber, Far East Movement], Dre from Dre & Vidal [Chris Brown, Usher], so I have a whole bunch of tracks that are pretty dope. I have a couple R&B tracks, a hip-hop track, some electro-dance stuff. Once all that comes out, they’ll see what I’m about. As of right now, I just want them to think that, even though I do all the K-pop stuff, I’m still a b-boy, I’m still a rapper, I’m still an entertainer. I’m just a cool dude that chills with his friends and goes around doing shows all over the world.

Are you working on an album? If so, what can we expect to hear from you on there? Will you be rapping or singing or both?

I’m working on a Korean album right now that’s going to come out in April and again there’s rapping, singing, dancing and all that. I did all the vocal arrangements and lyrics and had my homies produce the beats and features on it so it was all done within the family.
