The 44-year-old musician launched his album “24/34” about a year ago. Its lead track “Who’s Your Mama?” garnered much popularity.

He also released three songs -- “Road to the Airport,” “Jamsu Bridge” and “Busan Memories” -- under a collaborative project “Sing the Road,” along with singers Lee Jin-ah, Jung Seung-hwan, Bernard Park and Park Ji-min.

Park debuted with his first album, “Blue City,” in 1993. He established his management agency in 1997 and has trained many singers and bands including Rain, Wonder Girls, 2PM, GOT7 and Twice.

He is currently one of the judges in SBS’ survival audition show “KPop Star 5.”
