Hopefully, fans can lay the rumor to rest as Jay Park has been winning at life! The mogul who started beloved hip hop labels AOMG and H1ghr Music is also responsible for Korea’s most in-demand soju brand Won Soju.
Despite a major distribution deal with convenience store chain, G25, many in Korea are still waiting to try the soju.
With the recent announcement that the rapper has launched a new label, called More Vision, many are awaiting the artist’s next moves.
