6 Feb:
On February 6th, J.Y. Park posted on his me2day, ”You asked when I would write songs while working on ‘5 Million Dollar Man‘, ‘Dream High‘, and ‘K-Pop Star‘? Heehee, I’ve prepared a car, which always goes around with me..”
Judging by his proof shot, J.Y. Park has indeed set up a workspace inside his own van! Coming up with ingenious time-saving solutions like these is key to juggling his multiple schedules as a singer, actor, producer, and CEO.
Netizens commented, “Wow… Is that really the inside of a car?” “Amazing. Killing two birds with one stone~” and “Writing songs in your car? I can’t wait to hear what you come up with next!”
Recently, J.Y. Park released a new song called “Falling“ for the ‘Dream High 2‘ OST.
3 January:
Park wrote via his Twitter page on the 3rd, “Had a 2012 meeting with 2PM. It was amazing to see how much these guys truly care for each other and put [their] team [before] themselves.”
He continued with, “The six of them have yet to have any real discord until now. They are awesome. They’re in it for the long-run.”
Netizens who saw his tweet left comments such as, “Forever a fan“, “Keep going 2PM“, and “I teared while reading this“.
J.Y. Park produced the group who debuted back in 2008 with their title song, “10 Points Out Of 10“.
2 January:
As we begin the new year, actor/producer J.Y. Park revealed his honest thoughts and feelings about theWonder Girls‘ venture into the U.S.
He tweeted,
“If the Wonder Girls and I did not challenge the U.S. market, JYP would have probably made much more money, and I would have probably become a wealthy person with tens of millions of dollars, and Wonder Girls would have had more popularity in Korea than now.However, we tackled a foolish and nonsensical challenge. This year, the results of that long arduous period will come out. If it turns out well, we will have achieved a result that no other company nor celebrity has been able to do, but if it doesn’t turn out well, we will have wasted money and popularity on an unreasonable challenge.Will I regret it if it doesn’t turn out well?We might have wasted popularity as well as tens of millions of dollars on that challenge, but we have gained hundreds of millions of dollars worth of wisdom, clashing and breaking while tackling the biggest market in the world. Genuine wisdom can only be obtained as you face hardships while taking on the impossible.I have known, since a long time ago, about what I have to do in order to safely gain money and fame. However, I’ve always done the opposite.Money and fame come and go like the wind, but wisdom will protect myself and the kids [idols] for a lifetime. For me, I would like my singers to grow up as wise individuals more so than successful celebrities. In order for that to happen, they must gain wisdom through various challenges when they are young. That is why I’m really anticipating what the Wonder Girls will be like in 20 years. I don’t know if they’ll still be working as celebrities then or not, but I’m confident that they will be happier and cooler than any other celebrity through the wisdom they have gained over the past few years.Our goal for 2012 is again, not money, not popularity, but wisdom. Who knows? Maybe money and popularity will follow? Keep an eye on us, and please cheer us on. ^^”
Shortly after, he tweeted in a shorter version for the international fans in English, which you can readhere.
In related news, Wonder Girls will be leaving for the States once again in mid January to promote their TV movie, ‘Wonder Girls at the Apollo’, which will air in February.
30 December:
On December 30th, J.Y. Park wrote on his Twitter, “You suffered a lot filming your drama this year, so I’m glad to see you being repaid for your work through this award. Congratulations, Kwon.”
Jo Kwon had received the Popularity Award in the category of Comedy/Sitcom at the ‘2011 MBC Entertainment Awards‘ on the 29th.
J.Y. Park also revealed, “I also sent you a new song last night.” He jokingly added, “It’s something I wrote for the first time in a while so try not to be too harsh with it.”
The 2PM members were quick to respond, with Taecyeon asking, “Hyung! What about us?” J.Y. Park replied back, “Aren’t you guys asking for so much from an actor that’s trying to concentrate on his work! Once I get chewed out by 2AM, I’ll send it to you kekeke.”
Chansung joined in, tweeting, “Kekeke hyung, are we going to do one of your ballads”, to which J.Y. Park responded, “Hold on a bit, 2AM has to chew out my song to them first keke.”
Chansung replied back, “Ah, I feel like I’m anticipating something I shouldn’t be.. I’m also sorry to hyung, kekekeke.” J.Y. Park finally replied back, “Hey, don’t go into sympathy mode like that ㅠㅠ I’d rather you whine. You do know that talking like that gives me more pressure, right? Okay, I’ll hurry up and write your song ㅠㅠ.”
J.Y. Park even responded to a Hottest, saying, “Okay, I got it, I got it. I’ll write a song for 2PM as well ㅠㅠ 2PM, I’m more scared of your fans than you guys. Where are my fans..ㅠㅠ.”
29 July:
He continued, “I’m now leaving the airport and heading over to the meeting location. I always talk honestly during my meetings, whether they work out or not.”
In the photo, Park is shown wearing a simple and comfortable outfit, consisting of a black top and pants, a backpack, and sunglasses.
Fans left comments like, “You have such charisma” and “You know airport fashion“.
Meanwhile, J.Y. Park is scheduled to make an appearance as a guest judge on SBS’s ‘Survival Audition K-Pop Star‘, which will be aired in December.
12 July:
A few months back, there were some rumors going around that accused J.Y. Park of plagiarism. Netizens debated fiercely over whether his ‘Dream High‘ OST track, ”Someday“, snatched a chorus from one of songwriter Kim Shin Il’s works.
According to the Seoul Central District Court, Kim Shin Il claimed that “They plagiarized “To My Man” from ASH’s 2nd album.” Since J.Y. Park was the songwriter and lyricist of “Someday”, he is being sued for 110 million won ($103,000 USD) for compensation.
Kim Shin Il’s manager claimed,
“The melody of the chorus of ‘Someday’ is like ‘To My Man’, which was composed in 2003.
The harmony and rhythm, the acoustic guitar and drums, even the bass, the instruments are all similar too.…We demand 110 million won to compensate for the losses due to copyright infringement.
Mr. Park has plagarized on several occasions in the past, and called them ’samplings’ and ‘arrangements’. J.Y. Park’s ‘Kiss Me‘ from his 5th album and g.o.d’s ‘To My Mother‘ and ‘Observe‘ have been given up.“
On July 12th, J.Y. Park’s representative responded saying,
Source: Star News via Nate & OSEN via Nate via allkpop“Regretfully, we will abide by the law. It can’t be said that it’s plagarism since it has a chord progression that is commonly used in popular music.
If they sue, we will take action with a legal team.”
26 June:
On his me2day and Twitter, the producer revealed, “The Wonder Girls’ Sohee fixed the melody of 2PM’s “Hands Up”. If she hadn’t done so, the song would’ve been different. This is why it says, “advised by Ahn Sohee,” in 2PM’s album. Miss Sensible, please continue your constructive advice~^^”
Netizens commented, “I wonder what kind of changes were made to the melody,” “Sohee is a quiet force,” ”She must have exceptional talent,” and, “I want to hear addictive songs by the Wonder Girls too!”
In related news, Sohee turns 19 (20 in Korean years) today — happy birthday to her!
25 June:
On the 24th, JYP wrote on his Twitter, “Why were 2PM’s songs from the past two years so sad? Because we were sad.”
He continued, “We created ‘Hands Up’ because we were finally ready to have fun. Thank you to Hottest for having taken care of these kids thus far.”
2PM’s past songs include “Again & Again“, “Hate You“, “Heartbeat“, “Tired of Waiting for You“, and “I’ll Be Back“, all of which feature sad and depressing melodies and lyrics.
Many felt like the boys and their producer and boss JYP were in a sad state of mind, so “Hands Up” is definitely a boost of energy to this group of “beast idols”.
Netizens wrote in response, “That’s great that you guys are ready to have fun”, “I will always cheer you all on. Don’t be sad from now on”, “Let’s have fun together”, “It’s nice to see you all move on from sadness”.
2 Juni:
Earlier this week, J.Y. Park successfully completed his first fan meeting in 10 years. On May 31st, he shifted his attention to 2PM’s fans by releasing a short teaser for their new song.
J.Y. Park posted a video on his me2day saying,
“My second crazy act?!? I uploaded it at 2PM ^^ (I wonder why I posted it at 2PM?)”
In the video, J.Y. Park can be seen in the studio with Manny Marroquin as he guides his fans in the process of mixing, and also discusses Manny Marroquin’s favorite Asian artist.
We’ve translated his dialogue, so be sure to check out the video below!
“Hello, today’s crazy act is to briefly explain the mixing stage of music production.After the instruments are recorded and all the singers finishing singing, these elements are all put into this mixing board to be combined. If we were to put it in the context of an orchestra, it would be like conducting. So if you see here, each column has one sound and we are adjusting the sound by using variants such as the EQ to make it into the sound I want.Once we get the overall balance of all the sounds, we combine them to make a song…There is a step after this called mastering, I will explain that next time. Now, my most beloved partner that I am mixing with, who won the Grammy for engineering last year, the world’s best engineer, Manny Marroquin! He has worked with me on miss A and 2PM’s albums and will be doing so again this time… Hope you enjoyed this video. Next time (if I get the chance) I will do a video on mastering.“
