Park Jin-young, founder of the K-pop powerhouse JYP Entertainment and a successful solo artist himself, will serve as a guest color commentator for the NBA Finals on Korean cable this weekend.
SPOTV, which holds NBA rights in Korea, announced Wednesday that Park will be in the studio for Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat, which tips off at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in Seoul time.
A well-known fan of basketball, Park has called NBA games in Korea on several previous occasions.
The Nuggets and the Heat are tied at 1-1, with Game 3 in Miami on Thursday in Korean time. The fourth game of the best-of-seven series will also be in Miami.
"I am picking Denver to win the title in five games," Park said in a statement released by SPOTV. "But as I watch Miami, featuring undrafted players, battle the star-studded Nuggets, it reminds me of the early days of JYP." (Yonhap)
