Korean-American hip-hop artist Jay Park joined to perform at Made in America Festival for the first time as a Korean performer.

On September 2 (local time), an annual music festival 'Made in America Festival' was held in Philadelphia.

Made in America Festival was founded by American rapper Jay-Z in 2012, and is known to be one of the largest music festivals in America with line-ups made of top performers every year.

It is rare for Asian performers to be invited to perform at Made in America Festival, and Jay Park proudly became the first-ever Korean to perform at the festival.

On this day, Jay Park confidently showed off his musical talent and dominated the stage with his hit tracks in front of a large audience.

After the performance, he commented, "I would like to thank all locals for enthusiastically supporting me during my performance. Due to you guys, I was able to have an awesome time."

Back in July 2017, Jay Park has shown his competence in the industry by becoming the first Asian-American to sign with Roc Nation, an Entertainment company founded by Jay-Z managing performers including Rihanna, DJ Khaled and J.Cole.
