Jay Park talks about life after 2PM
"
The song was produced with (listeners) abroad in mind," he said, adding that it represents his musical flavor. "I'm really proud and satisfied with the song, but if it didn't have a good response in Korea, I thought it might be discouraging."
The 28-year-old singer said he thinks the title is "isn't that provocative or awkward at all."
"I grew up listening to R. Kelly, Boyz II Men and Usher, and they have a lot of songs that are (openly) sexy," he said, terming it "refined." Park shot the music video for "Sex Trip" in LA.
Park also works with artists signed onto his record label, which include some of his longtime friends that he used to breakdance with in Seattle.
"There are times when I feel stressed, but I think my life has been really blessed," he said. "There were some difficult moments in between, but the time was meaningful. The people I came into contact with for business (reasons) were good people. That helped me to keep working even when I felt a huge weight on my shoulders."
The singer, who turns Korean age 30 next year, said, "I've become mature, but I still feel that I am quite innocent. I still keep toys that I had in my childhood (and will continue to keep them). I don't want to live a life not caring about people around me and just earning money.
"Since my music and Korean language skills have come this far, and hip-hop has become increasingly popular (in Korea), I want to keep working hard and live every day meaningfully," he said.
