Major K-pop talent agency YG Entertainment’s C.E.O Yang Hyun-suk has revealed his everlasting crush on singer Park Ji-min, the winner of SBS’ singing competition “KPOP STAR.”

At the "KPOP STAR 2" press conference held in Seoul Friday, Yang confessed he still adores the former "KPOP STAR" contestants Park and Baek A-yeon, whom both has inked deals with JYP Entertainment and released their debut records a few months ago. “I’d like to produce Park Ji-min and Baek A-yeon’s new songs, if they want it. It'll be just like how JYP Entertainment Chief Park Jin-young produced Se7en’s [YG artist] tune 'When I can’t sing' before. I’ll keep this in mind until the end of the second season when the contestants sign with other agencies,” Yang said, while sitting next to the show's two other judges, Park and SM Entertainment artist BoA.

"I still like Baek so much that I once said in an interview that I’d like to sign up for her fan club. And I still recall how it touches people’s heart when Park Ji-min sang Adele’s 'Rolling In The Deep.' From time to time I look its video up on the internet," he added.

The second installation of "KPOP STAR" will kick off its run on SBS from November 18 at 5:00 p.m. in local time.
