The young talent is planning on enterting the R-16 Korea 2011, an international b-boy contest, with his b-boy team that he's been repping for some time now, A.O.M. (Art of Movement). The event is scheduled to take place on July 2-3 at the Seoul Olympic Park. Their contenders? Red Bull BC One All Star, a team of 7 members from four different continents. On top of Park's battle, he will be performing a congratulatory concert with KRNFX, known for beatboxing.

Also performing on the 3rd, will be a project group consisting of the event's public ambassadors Tiger JK and his wife, singer Yoon Mi-rae, Drunken Tiger's DJ James Jhig, US freestyle rapping champion Styliztik Jones, and US hip hop musician Roscoe Umali.

The R-16 Korea 2011 International Bo-boy Contest is one of the five biggest such events in the world. From this past April to June this year, 200 final contestants were weeded out from 16 countries -- including the US, China, Japan, Vietnam, and Kazakhstan -- in the preliminary rounds.
