'DREAM-X Project': Jay Park announces collab with Wiz Khalifa for global project
Over the last few years, K-pop idols have become global and the boundaries of a nation no longer define the popularity of a group. These days, many K-pop idols practice their English speaking skills in order to communicate easily with international fans but this is not a problem for bi-racial artists from South Korea who are able to communicate in English and have made a name for themselves in the international rap scene while establishing a global fanbase for themselves.
Such is the case for singer and rapper Jay Park who is not only an idol or an entrepreneur but also a part of the American rap scene all thanks to his birth and upbringing in the states. After establishing a fanbase for himself in South Korea when he became the leader of 2AM, his departure from the group and then his rise back to fame as the CEO of not one but two labels, AOMG and H1GHR Music, Jay Park is quite the phenomenon globally.
