[Non SKZ] JYP USA Head

 According to a recent Naver News, JYP official hinted that the U.S local branch has been established last month and the offices are now in the process of setting up in Los Angeles (L.A) and New York City.

Shin Hyun-guk, 41, the person who is largely behind the success of Twice, has been appointed as the head of JYP USA. He’ll be in charge of taking care of the U.S branch. Shin joined the K-pop powerhouse in 2015 as the leader of a new business team focused on Twice.

 He is the Chief Director/Head of Division 3 who handles TWICE & J.Y. Park. He’s also the JYP 360’s Chief Executive Director. The team was also in charge of singer-actor Suzy, before her contract expired in 2019. Before joining JYP, Shin worked at Naver Music and Samsung Electronics, industry sources said.
