Earlier this month, Jay Park appeared on MBC’s Radio Star, where he addressed his earlier comments about retiring from performing. He stated that, as he plays a significant role in his newly founded company, he has postponed retirement for now and is in the process of assembling both a boy band and a girl group under More Vision.
In other K-pop news, KISS OF LIFE has announced their return next month with their third mini-album, Lose Yourself, which will be released just two weeks before they kick off their first world tour, Kiss Road, in Seoul.
