On the June 6 broadcast of KBS 2TV's "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook", rapper Simon D shared his thoughts on celebrities going public with their relationships and why he joined Jay Park as the co-CEO of AOMG.

When asked if a public relationship would possible surface among the artists under AOMG, Simon D answered, "I did it for six years... so no.... there are good things of course." He explained that it was difficult to have privacy when the couple's relationship is public, and that it becomes a burden to date on the streets. However, Simon D was a bit feeling awkward about the question as he was known to have dated Lady Jane, who's under AOMG at the moment.

As for Jay Park, the original founder of AOMG expressed that if he ever finds out that one of his artists dates another artist publicly, he wouldn't stop them but would suggest that it's not exactly a good idea. Simon D added that he would not allow Jay Park to publicize a relationship.

In March this year, Simon D joined AOMG as a co-CEO to Jay Park. Simon D shared that he and Jay Park had their first meeting at a club, and Jay Park showed him how he was having fun. Upon seeing that, Simon D commented, "This company is it!"

During his installation as a co-CEO of AOMG, an insider said, "Simon D had a lot of interest in pursuing music with new musicians in a new environment... The two of them want to spread Korean hip hop overseas and plan to help the label flourish in not just music but concerts, fashion and hip hop culture."

So far in their partnership, Simon D and Jay Park released the song "Metronome" which also features AOMG artist Gray.
