JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin Young (J.Y. Park)’s shirtless teaser photos spark backlash
Park Jin Young (J.Y. Park), founder of JYP Entertainment, has gone viral after sharing a series of shirtless teaser photos for his upcoming summer release.
The singer recently unveiled concept images and a music video teaser for his new digital single, which is set to be released on July 23 at 6 PM KST. A fan album version is also available for pre-order through the Fans app.
The concept features the 53-year-old star showing off his physique in a series of half-naked photos.
Some fans: “provocative.”
While a few praised his confidence and joked that he was fully embracing the summer concept, most were far less impressed.
