JYP Entertainment launched "JYP Duet Match 1st" in April where Bernard Park and Hyelim collaborated for a track entitled "With You," according to Soompi. In May, the agency made the second round of "Duet Match" very unlikely yet funny when they featured veteran vocalist G. Soul and his dog named Snowiee.
Meanwhile, A Yeon started to create a name in the music industry after being one of the top three contestants of K-pop Star's first installment in 2011. She later signed with JYP Entertainment and released her debut album called "I'm Baek" in 2012.
After being on a hiatus for a year, the 23-year-old singer-songwriter made her comeback in May with a new single she personally composed. On the other hand, several artists under JYP Entertainment recently collaborated for a song called "Encore" for "JYP NATION Concert, MIX&MATCH" which will take place on Aug. 6-7, Koreatimes reported.
