Singer and producer Park Jin-young has become the first Korean to be featured on the cover of Billboard Magazine,
the influential music industry trade weekly. The cover of the Saturday issue of Billboard features a photo of Park with the headline "JYP, The Asian Soul."
The U.S. magazine is recognized for its coverage of the pop music industry and is the publisher of the Billboard Charts which track the most popular songs and albums. For the past few years the magazine has made its cover available as an advertising space for artists and companies that it believes suitably match the publication's industry authority.
Park's agency said, "Although it's a paid advertisement, the magazine provides a great opportunity for artists judged by careful scrutiny as matching the authority and stature of the magazine. Park was selected as the cover model since he was involved in some Billboard Top 10 albums by artists such as Will Smith, Mase, Cassie and others -- a first for an Asian composer."
