On the November 5 episode of MBC’s Radio Star, Park Jin-young discussed plans to build a new corporate headquarters. The program, featuring Park Jin-young alongside Ahn So-hee, Boom, and Kwon Jin-ah, highlighted his remarks about the project. He said that the workload was heavy and that the company decided to try things that seemed impossible. He also noted that he had not previously disclosed his political views and would speak in one minute to avoid misunderstandings.
Park Jin-young explained that capitalism benefits the wealthy if the government does not intervene, and that progressive policies are needed to protect ordinary people. He warned, however, that excessive government intervention could push capitalists to other countries, arguing that conservative policies would be necessary. He stressed the importance of balancing the two sides, saying, “I am not a leftist or a conservative—I’m Park Jin-young. I will work hard.”
Park then cited Time magazine’s ranking of JYP as No. 3 globally and No. 1 in Korea among “the world’s best sustainable growth companies,” and he added that, “There is no secret to running a business. I would have no problem even if my phone were hacked.” He also described plans to consolidate five existing buildings into a single new headquarters in Ga-dong (Godeok-dong), noting a slender design intended to give every employee a window view and the possibility of organic lunches.
Park also noted that the top contributors to the current Seongnae-dong HQ are Rain and Wonder Girls, while Stray Kids and Twice would be the top contributors to the new Godeok-dong HQ. He added that Stray Kids’ popularity is extraordinary; since their debut, seven albums have topped the Billboard charts, and he revealed that he gifted them eight solid-gold albums costing over 100 million won.
