Singer Jay Park will end promotional activities for his first mini-album, according to his agency Sidus HQ.

On Friday, Sidus announced in a press release that Park will give his last performance for his album "TAKE A DEEPER LOOK," starting this Sunday with his appearance on SBS' music program "Inkigayo" followed by music cable channel Mnet’s televised music show “M! CountDown" on June 2.

"I want to thank everyone for showing their love and support for my mini-album 'TAKE A DEEPER LOOK' which I worked on hard to make," Park was quoted as saying. "However, I'm bit sad that I have to cut my promotional events so soon but I will return with better music."

Park, whose Korean name is Park Jae-beom, debuted as a member of 2PM in 2008 but parted with the group early last year after stirring controversy over remarks he wrote regarding Korea during his trainee period.

He then kicked off his solo career late last year after signing with major talenthouse Sidus HQ and has released several single albums since.

Park will focus on his movie titled "Mr. Idol," about making an idol star out of a young man who dreams of becoming a vocalist of a band, set for release in the latter half of this year as well as working on his next album and overseas activities.
