  • JAY PARK: I was in a group and when

  • I was in a group everything was done for us, musically.

  • I started to write my own songs, learned

  • how the music business started to work.

  • So my contract was ending with SidusHQ.

  • I was contemplating on where, which label I should go to.

  • And then I was like, should I go here, should I go here?

  • It doesn't really fit me, whatever.

  • And then I was like I know want to do.

  • Might as well just start my own label.

  • Do what I love to do and give other talented artists

  • a platform where they can get the music out.

  • So it's been really fun.

  • Simon D was getting out of his label.

  • And I approached him like, this is a good opportunity.

  • It's new, it's fresh.

  • It has never been done in this K-Pop.

  • We can make history.

  • And he was down for it.

  • He saw the vision and so we hooked up.

  • And the response has been great.

  • People are really interested in what we're going to do.

  • I'm in a B-Boy crew.

  • It's called AOM-- Art of Movement.

  • And I've been repping that ever since.

  • Wherever I go, basically, even when I was in the group,

  • I've always repped AOM.

  • It's kind of stuck by me.

  • The fans know me for AOM.

  • So kind of wanted to make or play off that in music.

  • So I added the AOMG, now it's called

  • Above Ordinary Music Group.

  • Or it's like Always On My Grind, Artists Only Money Getters,

  • it's whatever you want, but it's AOMG.

  • Even though I'm part of K-Pop, I don't really

  • follow K-Pop too much.

  • I'm just trying to do what I do with my people

  • and that's about it.

  • Wherever K-Pop goes, it can go wherever.

  • But I'm basically going my own path.

  • I'm trying to give people good music, try to raise the bar.

  • SNL Korea.

  • That show is culture changing.

  • They're really sensitive when it comes

  • to sexual humor over there in Korea.

  • So in an SNL kind of, poke fun at sexual humor and politics

  • and stuff like that, which I think is great.

  • I like to joke around and I like to have fun.

  • And I think Korea needs a show like SNL.

  • So that's why I agreed to be a part of it

  • I don't look at all the latest fashion trends and look

  • at all the magazines and stuff like that.

  • I just wear what I think looks good and is comfortable.

  • I used to just match all colors.

  • Like even right now, it's I red and red.

  • The shoes and the hat.

  • But now, whatever looks good in your eyes,

  • I think-- doesn't matter.

  • Every so often people approach me,

  • like Paisley approached me-- let's do a collab with AOMG.

  • But as far as Hat's On, it's more

  • like I'm the spokesmodel, basically.

  • And Smirnoff, we did a collab.

  • They wanted to do a collab with a hip-hop artist that

  • does fashion.

  • So I guess I was the perfect fit.

  • Most of my tattoos, they have a certain meaning behind it,

  • like family, hip-hop, music, my crew, whatever.

  • But these stars have no meaning whatsoever.

  • I don't know what I was thinking at that time.

  • But yes, my least favorite is the stars,

  • I could tell you that.

  • The most recent tattoo, I got some on my leg.

  • It's AOMG.

  • And then the other side is like this picture by Boog Star.

  • And he's a really famous tattoo artist and he's super dope.

  • [SPEAKING KOREAN]

  • Peace.
