Park’s company, JYP Entertainment, said that the top U.S. university described Park in an article about the forum as the first Asian composer to produce albums for such leading U.S. singers as Will Smith, Mase, and Cassie, which appeared on the Billboard top 10 chart. “Harvard thought highly of Park because he made an agreement with Lil' Jon, who was behind singer Usher’s success, to cooperate in producing an album for new young Korean singer Min,” it added. Park said that he felt honored to be invited by the world’s best university to give a lecture. “This shows that there is increasing interest in Asian culture, not in myself personally. I will just do my best to arouse more interest in Korean culture as well as Asian culture from future world leaders through the lecture,” he added.
