J.Y. Park Recalls Father's Anger Over Nude Photoshoot: 'Was It Really Necessary?'

JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-young (박진영), also known as J.Y. Park, not only launched numerous K-pop superstars but remains one of the few entertainment company founders still actively performing. Over his decades-long career, his exceptional singing and dancing, distinctive personal style, and headline-making stage presence have solidified his status as a leading figure in the Hallyu wave.

Beyond his acclaimed performance skills, Park Jin-young's stage outfits consistently grab headlines. From his early transparent PVC suits and fishnet ensembles to deep V-neck lace-up tops, each appearance sparks discussion. Last year, at the Waterbomb music festival, he wore a pink high-neck sheer jumpsuit that showcased his toned physique, with an almost entirely open back that became a major talking point.

During that performance, Park Jin-young's intense dancing led to an unexpected wardrobe malfunction when his pants ripped, instantly going viral. His willingness to push boundaries with his styling means fans eagerly anticipate his every public appearance, wondering what surprising new look he'll debut next.

On May 25, Park Jin-young appeared on MBC's variety show “Omniscient Interfering View,” sharing glimpses of his daily life and, for the first time, recounting the incident years ago when a nude photoshoot angered his father.

During the show, host Jun Hyun-moo (전현무) jokingly asked, “Didn’t your parents scold you for wearing the transparent PVC suit back then?” Park Jin-young laughed as he replied, “My parents have always preferred a quiet life, but their son is just too high-profile. They couldn’t handle it.” His remark drew laughter from the other guests.
