If You Like... J.Y. Park

Rap-pop legend J.Y. Park has played a central role in melding hip-hop with pop in Korea, and he's inspired a legion of artists exploring the same sonic terrain. G.Soul's “Smooth Operator” exemplifies the uptempo rap verse that leads into a JYP-style radio-ready chorus, while the techno crooner Kim Jong Kook's “Man Also Feel Sad” can only be described as a tear-stained banger that may make you dance and cry at the same time.
