Episode 408 of MBC’s Omniscient Interfering View, airing today (July 25), follows J.Y. Park (Park Jin-young) as he balances his demanding schedule as a singer, producer, CEO, and chairman. Known for wearing many hats, Park admits that even 24 hours never seem to be enough, prompting him to develop a lifestyle centered on saving time wherever possible.
One of his most surprising habits is what he calls his “two-outfit-per-season” wardrobe. Rather than spending time deciding what to wear each day, he limits himself to just two outfits for an entire season. He also introduces a self-designed hairstyle that requires no styling products. Dubbed his “organic hairstyle,” the technique creates an artificial hair part while reducing styling time and avoiding hair products for the sake of both his skin and the environment. His dedication to efficiency goes even further. To avoid wasting even a few seconds unlocking his phone, Park chooses not to use a lock screen password at all. His meticulous time-saving habits leave the show’s panel impressed, earning him the nickname of a true “human clock.”
The episode also offers a rare look inside JYP Entertainment, which was recently recognized by TIME magazine as the world’s No. 1 sustainable growth company. Park explains the company’s distinctive workplace culture, where employees address one another by adding “ssi” after names or simply call each other “hyung” instead of relying on formal corporate titles. He says the system reflects his belief that open communication should take precedence over age or hierarchy. Viewers will also get a glimpse of the company’s employee benefits, including a free organic cafeteria and café, as well as a building-wide air purification system designed to create a healthier working environment.
The program further explores Park’s management philosophy, built over three decades of leading JYP Entertainment. He personally attends new employee orientation sessions every three months, where he emphasizes that the entertainment industry has one of the greatest influences on the next generation. According to Park, developing good character and creating a positive impact are more important than simply generating profits.
He also shares heartfelt advice with a rookie girl group preparing for debut, encouraging the members to adopt the right mindset and build habits that will allow them to enjoy long and fulfilling careers as artists.
J.Y. Park’s highly efficient office life and the management principles that have guided JYP Entertainment for the past 30 years will be featured on MBC’s Omniscient Interfering View, airing Saturday, July 25, at 11:10 p.m. KST.
