Jay Park, a former K-POP boy band member of 2PM, and now the CEO of his own label, AOMG Records, has announced his triumphant return to the US. for a three-city tour with D.C. being one of his stops. Park is bringing several other artists with him: LOCO, a young rapper who made his waves winning a music competition called “Show Me the Money” in Korea and GRAY, a producer, a singer and hip hop artist, as well as their DJ Pumkin. These guys round out the current lineup for AOMG (Above Ordinary Music Group) that are headed out to NY, LA, and D.C. in November.

Last time Park came to D.C., it was part of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Tour sponsored by Verizon Wireless in 2012.

Park is working with KOMO Enterprises for the D.C. leg of his trip.

Kyra Koh, director of KOMO said, “Many times, D.C. is overlooked as a city on the tour of Asian and Asian American talent. We know that there are fans here in the D.C. metro area.  So we wanted to be the bridge to bring more of those acts and provide the access.”
