You’re the one(너 뿐이야)J.Y. Park (Paku Jinyon)

J.Y. Park(박진영) “You’re the one(너 뿐이야)” M/V

J.Y.

Park, also known as Park Jin-young, is the founder of JYP Entertainment and a producer known for groups like TWICE, GOT7, Stray Kids, and NiziU.

Nicknamed the unforgettable “Rice Cake Gorilla,” he’s truly a living legend who continues to thrive as an active artist.

He debuted in 1994 with “Don’t leave me.” His signature is a sexy, unconventional style, delivering pop music infused with funk and Black music elements that’s just outstanding.

Add to that his overwhelming sense of groove and passionate performances.

While some see a saintly side to him, I also find his disciplined nature and rebellious spirit as a musician incredibly cool.

His approachable musical style may reflect influences from Japanese artists like Keisuke Kuwata and Namie Amuro.

Perhaps his relentless passion for entertainment is what sustains his consistently unorthodox, aggressive approach.
