Singer Jay Park will be deviating from his normal dance routines by presenting a special piano stage at the ’26th Golden Disk Awards’!
On January 10th, Sidus HQ‘s Twitter shared an update with a photo of the singer hard at work. They wrote, “Jay Park is taking piano lessons! What will his skills be like… Check for yourself at the Golden Disk Awards!”
Though he’s dressed casually in a hoodie and a T-shirt, Jay is all business when it comes to his music, as seen by his serious and determined expression. Since he’s known for his dance performances, the piano stage will be something new for fans to enjoy.
Jay Park also recently recognized the good deeds of his fans, who had donated $1,000 USD to help aid the surgery expenses of a disabled child in need.
It looks like Jay Park‘s new album is going to be fire, as he’s just confirmed a collaboration with hip hop heavyweights, Dynamic Duo!
On January 16th, Jay Park caused considerable buzz after he tweeted, “[I]It’s official y’all !!! Jay Park Dynamic Duo COLLABO COMING SOON!! OOOWEE!!!!”
Prior to that, fans got to see a Twitter exchange between Jay and Dynamic Duo’s Choiza. Choiza nudged Jay Park with a message that read, ”Jay, finished recording!!!“, to which Jay Park responded with, “YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Thank you very much!!!”
The news comes right on the heels of our earlier post, which revealed that Jay Park had teamed up with singer Brian Joo and Korean-American rapper Dumbfoundead for a new track.
Stay tuned to allkpop for more updates on Jay Park’s upcoming work!
I love his solo work :D I thought he was great in 2PM and was sad that he had to leave the group. But it's great that he's able to have a solo career and he's doing such a good job.
