San-E Says Park Jin Young is His Teacher for Life
San E expressed his gratitude towards JYP’s Park Jin Young.
Scoring a huge hit with the duet A Midsummer Night’s Sweetness with After School’s Raina in June, San E released his new song Body Language on August 4.
He is also one of the producers on Mnet’s Show Me the Money 3, spending busier days than ever.
In a recent interview with Newsen, San E was asked, “Have you been very busy these days?” and answered, “No, not particularly.”
But San E has been keeping himself busier than ever since he made his debut in 2008. Not only have his recent songs become big hits, he has been setting an image as the ‘agreeable rapper’ each time he appeared on variety shows.
The time that it took San E to become one of the most spotlighted artists and spread his name was merely one year. It also happened to be that he left JYP Entertainment in April of 2013 and began gaining popularity with the song Story of Someone I know released in August of that year.
When he was jokingly asked, “Do you admit that things worked out better for you after you left JYP?” San E answered, “Yes. But of course, I am where I am today thanks to JYP. JYP was a part of my life during more than half of my twenties so I cannot leave it out when talking about myself. Thank to the times I spent there, I was able to begin and come to stand where I am now."
He also expresses his satisfaction on the new agency, Brand New Music. San E said, “I would’ve been satisfied anywhere as long as I could continue my career in music. But the reason I like my current agency more is because it trusts in what the artist wants to do and encourages it.”
Revealing that he could be where he is now thanks to JYP, San E recently watched ‘JYP Nation,’ carrying out his connections with the JYP family.
San E said, “When Park Jin Young sends text messages to JYP artists, he also sends me a copy to read, saying that, ‘San E, you’re also a part of the family.’ He takes care of me in that way. In my mind, my first teacher in music is Drunken Tiger. I started dreaming of becoming a singer because I wanted to be like them. Then I met a great person named Park Jin Young, learning many things over his shoulders. That gave me a lot of influence. The third teacher is the current CEO Rhymer.”
San E also expressed his affection to not only Park Jin Young but the artists at JYP, who went through many ups and downs with him.
He said, “The JYP family is really happy that things worked out well for me. Every single person is really happy for me. I can tell their sincerity by looking at their eyes and the way they talk.”
San E Reveals that He Couldn’t Go Home for Five Years
San E confessed that he struggled in the past because of money.
During the July 2 broadcast of MBC’s Radio Star, San E confessed, “I visited home in America for the first time in five years.”
He said, “I read this novel once and it said, ‘I am not going home before I become successful.’ So I didn’t go home for five years and finally made my visit at the beginning of this year.”
Then he confessed, “Actually, I didn’t have money to buy plane tickets either. But this time, I was even able to buy a high-end handbag for my mother. I gathered as much cash as I could and gave it to my parents.”
He then shared, “My father is a janitor at school and my mother works in a kitchen in America. Most people think that people who immigrate to America are rich, but that is not true. We had to go to America when Korea went through an economic breakdown due to IMF. My mother and father work all day.”
San E Says Park Jin Young Didn′t Allow Him to Write Lyrics in English
San E expressed his complaint in regards to writing lyrics in English.
During July 2’s broadcast of MBC’s Radio Star, San E was asked if Park Jin Young didn’t allow him to write lyrics in English.
He agreed, saying, “It’s true. To be honest, I was frustrated about that.”
San E said, “There are some English words in Jin Young hyung’s song but he told me to use Korean because some people might not understand. I feel like some words would have been better expressed in English.”
Then Kim Gura commented, “I think I know why he did that. It’s because San E is better than Park Jin Young in English,” and San E said, “That’s not true. Jin Young hyung is better in English. He is so smart that he once gave a lecture at Harvard University.”
1. [+689, -16] San-E gets #1 on the digital charts as soon as he leaves JYP.. I wonder what JYP had planned for him? Keep him buried for as long as possible before releasing him.. G Soul's rumors of actually being a soul.. I don't know why JYP just won't release albums for his artists.
2. [+497, -13] If only he was met with success earlier. What has Park Jin Young done ㅠ.ㅠ San-E fighting.
3. [+486, -18] I choked up when he talked about his parents. I like San-E because he's not like your stereotypical tryhard hip hop artist who only cares about looking cool. Seeing him today made me realize that he wants to be a filial song and has a lot of goals and passions for his future. Feels like JYP didn't give San-E the support he deserved ㅠㅠㅠㅠ He's doing well now anyway but I hope he does even better from now on.
