When prospective U.S. partners ask music mogul Jin-Young Park where
he's from, he has a conversation-stopping answer: "I'm from the future."
It's a deft riposte that opens up space for Park, who discovered and
managed Asian pop phenomenon Rain for many years, to spool out a
string of facts that make record execs weak in the knees. "In meetings with
music labels here, they talk to me about releasing albums," says Park.
"They can't accept that there's no such thing anymore. Where I come from,
CDs are nothing—they're just souvenirs. I tell them, 'Wake up!'"
