Following his photo shoot for 'High Cut', J.Y. Park engaged in an interview where he shared thoughts on education, music, and more.
First, he revealed stories from the set of his "Still Alive" MV. The last scene of the MV parodies a hit Korean movie - 'Nameless Gangsters: Rules of Time'. J.Y. Park went on to share that actor Ha Jung Woo from the film was originally scheduled to appear. He said, "Jung Woo said he was going to join, but it didn't happen because of schedule conflicts. He very much enjoyed the MV though. He even told me that I looked like Marlon Brando."

J.Y. Park then moved on to the topic of his recent show 'K-Pop Star', and pointed out the importance of creativity and education. J.Y. Park said, "None of the winners of 'K-Pop Star' so far have grown up in a standard education system. Akdong Musician grew up in Mongolia and received homeschooling. Wouldn't the outcomes be all the same if everyone lives by the same patterns of home, school, lessons, library, and tutor? The current education system is in the process of making 'art' into a 'product'.
Lastly, the artist shared passion for music as he said, "If I had to choose between being a long-term musician or being successful, I would choose the long-term. It would make me terribly sad if I had a different job other than this one that I love."
