John Park

2010

The first time I saw John Park was from the small, second-hand television I bought from ebay, which specifically for practicing my listening skill. After I finished setting up the television and connecting it to the cable, a big boy wearing a simple white shirt appeared on the scene and caught my eyes. He was sitting on a chair peacefully, having his eyes half-closed, and singing "Gravity" by John Mayor.

During the same year, he rejected offers from many American entertainments, choosing to move back to Korea, his hometown, and joining the Korean American Idol "Superstar K2." His decision surprised his family, fans and most of the Americans. Many critics questioned the reason he chose to abandon his popularity in America and to start over in Korea. John Park, during many interviews, explained that he wanted to experience different music environment.

2012
He released his first album on 23 February, 2012. Not only did his album become popular in Korea, but also in America. People listened to his music at Billboard and watch the music video on Youtube.
