HEAD OF THE DAY
The man who negotiates concerts with heads of state.
🎤 The K-pop Chancellor
J.Y. Park has done what no other artist dared before him: go from pop star to policymaker.
President Lee appointed the JYP Entertainment founder as co-chair of the Committee for Cultural Exchange — a position equivalent to a ministerial rank.
💬 “I hesitated for a long time, because such a role carries great responsibility for someone from the entertainment industry,” he wrote on Instagram. “But K-pop is at a unique moment right now — and I want to help make the most of it.”
📊 While other industry giants wrestle with scandals, Park stands for consistency. Stray Kids just scored their seventh Billboard 200 No. 1, TWICE is touring the world, and JYP is expanding into Japan, China, and the U.S.
Artist, manager, and politician all in one. Only in Asia.
