Soon afterward, 'Chung Hwa Sa' was approached to work with Seo Taiji and the Boys, which then led to the approach H.O.T, etc!

In the past 20 years, 'Chung Hwa Sa' has worked with 1st-generations idol groups starting with H.O.T to g.o.d, Shinhwa, moving on to 2nd and 3rd-generation groups including Big Bang, Girls' Generation, GOT7, Block B, NU'EST, BTS, Seventeen, TWICE, MAMAMOO, and more!

Park during his infamous days wearing see-through plastic pants!
