J.Y. Park, also known as Park Jin Young, is the founder of JYP Entertainment. Besides being their former head, he is also a soloist who has released hit songs such as “When We Disco” and “Who’s Your Mama?”
Recently, he appeared on the interview program of GOT7‘s BamBam who used to be signed under his label. They talked about a variety of topics ranging from their relationship as former boss and employee, their current careers, and other random and fun moments they’ve experienced.
