The Asian Soul oppa announces his comeback

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

Park Jin Young will be making a grand comeback to the K-Pop scene after a year and five months since his last album.

He will be releasing his 10th album on September 2. JYP Entertainment stated, “As he is halfway through life, Park Jin Young will be expressing his past and his future through his music,” and “The title of his 10th album is ‘Halftime‘ and he will pre-release ‘Love Is Best‘ (working title). On September 9, he will release his title song, ‘I Played Enough‘ (working title) with the rest of his album.”


Park Jin Young’s “Halftime” will contain tracks that tell the story of his life as a singer, dancer and producer. His pre-release track “Love Is Best” will be about Park Jin Young’s earnest thoughts on the purpose of human birth and life. It was written by himself as he was taking a self-reflecting trip in the Middle East and Israel.

His title track “I Played Enough” talks about how he wants to find a clear purpose for life and the truth so that he won’t be afraid even when his life is over.

JYP also released a teaser image for this coming album. The image shows Park Jin Young staring into the mirror that reflects an older version of himself.

JYP Entertainment commented, “Park Jin Young’s 10th album will contain the groove of black music that Park Jin Young always loved, his classical music education he received since he was young, and musical theory education he received from his teacher Kim Hyung Suk,” and “It is a high quality album that clearly shows Park Jin Young’s signature and unique colors.”

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Park Jin Young will be a guest on “Radio Star,” which he will shoot on August 28. Kara will also be guests for that show, where everyone will be talking about their new albums.

JYP is sooo EXTRA sometimes. But I'm sure this will be awesome anyways.

[trowa.livejournal.com]

unless he's bringing back the plastic pants, really don't care.

jyp how about you try to salvage your agency instead of feeding your own ego.

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

omfg im imagining performing his new song and doing costume changes showing his look every album hahahahahahah

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

JYP hasn't actually been CEO for a while though.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Is "Black music" a legit genre in Korea? I notice a lot of K media sites use this term, a lot of singers as well. Why can't they just call it R&B?


I loved his last album so I'm sure this one will be good too, It sounds like he put a lot of thought into it. His award show performances are going to be so deep this year. I expect to see a unicorn.

i haven't been in a CD store in Germany in a friggin long time but i remember the CD's being separated by genre and one section was always the "black" section.

[nuravecunt.livejournal.com]

omg wat

[pon-pon-pink.livejournal.com]

yeah that was like early 2000? i remember that's when i started getting into hip hop and r'nb and i was so confused by them labeling that way, but not as confused at that one girl looking through that section and being like "this is all hip hop? i thought this would be balack metal! wtf!" lol
but as said...i haven't gone to a cd store in a while so maybe they changed it?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

true, we even (still) have black music charts.

[onlylexy.livejournal.com]

They probably call it black music because they know where it comes from lol.

Errr that photo.

All I can think about JYP is when he was flailing around with wires at the MAMA awards last year LOL. Gets me cracking up along with BBJung's glare in contrast of Ailee cheering in his performance.

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

was that last year, or the year before? idr

[airyclouds.livejournal.com]

Last year's since WooYoung was also on stage. It was pitiful.

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

Oh come on JYP, really? Sunmi is performing right now after almost 4 years. Jesus, his ego...
