Why would Jay Park Step Down as CEO?

Debuting with Kpop boy group 2PM, Jay Park went separate ways and shined as a solo star and entrepreneur. Jay Park grows as a well-known rapper who founded AOMG in 2013 individually. And in 2017, he founded H1GHR MUSIC with producer Cha Cha Malone. Since then, Jay Park has been leading the two labels respectively.

The rapper’s sudden decision to step down from the position as CEO of both AOMG and H1GHR MUSIC shocked fans. However, though we don’t get to see what is happening behind the scene, we believe that Jay Park has his considerations in making the decision. And we’re looking forward to what lies in the future of AOMG and H1GHR MUSIC after jay Park’s resignation.

I’m still processing this, and I have a lot to say, but for now, all I need to say is, Jay, whatever you do, wherever you go, I support you and I love you.
Jwalk. Jrun. Jfly. Together. Forever❤ https://t.co/2jhowaMDF3
