On April 23rd, singer Jay Park will be appointed the honorary ambassador for the 'R-16 Korea 2012' b-boy competition by the 'Korea Tourism Organization'.

Jay Park's crew, Art of Movement, had attended the same competition as guest performers the previous year. When asked how they came to choose Jay Park as an honorary ambassador, the 'Korea Tourism Organization' explained, "As someone that is a b-boy dancer turned Hallyu star, we felt that he would be the best figure to promote and represent this competition all over the world."

The 'R-16 Korea 2012' is sponsored by the 'Korea Tourism Organization' and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism. This year marks the competition's sixth year.
