He graduated from Yonsei University majoring in Geology in 1996. His début in 1994 with the first album Blue City. Especially, his fashion style since his début has been very controversial over the Korean People. He composed many No.1 hit songs and choreographed dance moves for many artists that became popular in Korea.
He has produced many successful Korean Artists including Park Ji Yoon, K-Will, Rain, G.O.D, and Wonder Girls, 2PM. As a producer, he is the first Asian producer to successfully crossover to the U.S, producing music for Will Smith, Mase and Cassie.

He married to a woman named Yoon Jung Suh in 1998, whom he had crush on for 9 years which later divorced after the 10years of marriage . He has also produced music for F4 and Jackie Chung in China, and for AI in Japan.
In early 2011, JYP made his acting debut in Dream High, for which he received a nomination for New Actor of the Year at the Baek Sang Arts Awards. In January 2012 he was seen in the sequel to Dream High called Dream High 2. In fact, it came so naturally that most of the OST from both dramas were composed by him.
A report from the Korea Times and the business and finance portal site Chaebul.com revealed that JYP Entertainment generated $16.3 million in revenue in 2006 and $10 million during the first six months of 2007. The report valued JYP Entertainment to be worth in excess of $100 million, making it the most valuable independent entertainment company in Korea.

Why he Inspires Me?
Okay face it, he might not be the most good-looking of all, but with those talent who wouldn't fall in love with him? hehe... Without a doubt, his a multi-talented entrepreneur which became branching out from being an artist. Being such a successful & highly sorted he is now one of the most influential person in Korea. *Wondering to myself: If there is any chance for me to be able to work under JYP??!* Wow..that's an honour! haha...
Ohya, he just made his comeback recently after 2 years hiatus, finally his back on stage! I love this song so much "Someone Else" featuring Gain[BEG] which is a medium tempo R&B track written & composed by JYP himself.
JYP's mini-album “Spring” contains 5 songs that is to be delivered to a new love. Aside from the title song “You’re the one”, The track list includes “Feel so good”, “Someone else”, “Last love”, and “Please”. Each of those songs is filled with a true feeling for a longing for the beloved. =)
