Korean rapper Jay Park answers fan questions; says he's preparing for comeback
Korean rapper and former 2PM leader Jay Park sets his fans into a frenzy after he answered a few questions on his official Twitter account with the hashtag, “#AskJayPark.”
One fan asked the South Korean performer if ever he'll be working on an RnB comeback album or single anytime soon to which he gladly replied, “YES working on that.”
Fans were eagerly delighted to hear this since his last RnB full album, “Everything You Wanted,” was released on October 20, 2016. It was then followed by “The Road Less Travelled” in 2019, which features hip hop and rap tracks.
The tweet has received more than 1K likes and 200 retweets, followed by an onslaught of suggestions from fans as to who he should collaborate with next and what track he should remake.
Jay Park also gave a few updates on how he's doing while on self-quarantine like eating pizza and watching Netflix.
He said, “I've been going out of the house but been avoiding public places or places with too many people. Korea is not as bad as the US or Europe.
“Hopefully, everybody is okay and we work together to get rid of this.”
Another Twitter user asked how his mom is doing to which he replied, “She's gotten healthy. I saw her do ab workouts from home the other day. Lol.”
Jay Park is a Korean American rapper, singer, songwriter, and the founder of independent hip hop record labels AOMG and H1ghr Music. He rose to fame as the leader of South Korean boy band 2PM, formed by record label JYP Entertainment in 2008.
By 2009, he returned home to Seattle after comments he wrote about Korea in 2005 as a teenager were publicized by the Korean media which eventually led him to leave the group in 2010.
The following year he pursued a solo career under Sidus HQ, one of the largest agencies in South Korea, re-debuting as a solo singer and an actor.
As a solo artist, his music takes its roots in RnB and hip hop, more specifically from the '90s. He noted that he is heavily influenced by artists such as Usher, Michael Jackson, Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake, and Jay-Z.
