'''Mike Park''' is a punk bands.  Park will support any band as long as it is "anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-prejudice".  Park has used Asian Man Records to release his own music, in addition to providing a start for smaller bands to allow them to grow, including Less Than Jake, Alkaline Trio, and The Lawrence Arms.   Park strives to offer affordable music and rejects mega-chains who overcharge for CDs.  Park's most important goal though is to end hate and hate crimes.  Because of his strong convictions, in 1999 he formed the Plea for Peace Foundation an organization whose aim is "to promote the ideas of peace through the power of music", something which Park has been trying to do with his own bands and with the help of other groups.

Park recorded an acoustic solo album in January 2005 and in 2007 his ''Plea for Peace Foundation'' plans to open a youth center. It will be the first venture undertaken by the charity that isn't a global or national music tour.

Park was the impetus behind the Spring 1998 "Ska Against Racism" tour. The goal of the tour was to promote awareness about Blue Meanies, Mustard Plug, Five Iron Frenzy, MU330, Kemuri, and Mike Park himself.<ref name="IMWT_SAR"></ref>

'''Mike Park''' ist ein koreanisch-amerikanischer Sänger und Songwriter.

Seine bisherige Karriere begann im Herbst 1985 in seiner ersten Band ''Psychiatrc Disorder''. Jedoch verließ er diese Band ziemlich schnell und spielt im Folgenden für ''The Chinkees'', Sänger und Saxophonist tätig war. Zudem führte er mehrere Solo Projekte unter seinem eigenen Namen. Mit den ''Skankin’ Pickles'' veröffentlichte Park insgesamt fünf Alben und spielte in über 14 Ländern in Amerika, Kanada, Asien und Europa.

Nach der Auflösung von den ''Skankin’ Pickles'' formierte er 1996 das Ska- und Punk-Label ''Asian Man Records''. Dieses entwickelte sich aus seinem Do-it-yourself-Label, welches er seit 1989 zu dritt aus der Garage seiner Eltern führte, die ausschließlich mit einem Telefon, einem Fax und zwei Computern ausgerüstet war. Vor allem setzte er sich in den Anfängen stark für Bands wie Less Than Jake, Alkaline Trio oder The Lawrence Arms ein. Park selbst unterstützt jede Band, solange sie "antirassistisch, antisexistisch und ohne Vorurteile" ist. ''Asian Man Records'' unterstützt bis jetzt über 50 Bands.

Im November 2003 veröffentlichte Park sein erstes Solo-Album ''For the Love of Music''. Zwei Jahre später erschien sein bisher letztes, akustisch gehaltenes Solo-Album ''North Hangook Falling''.

In seinen Songs beschäftigt sich Mike Park vornehmlich mit Politik, Rassismus und Krieg. 1999 gründete er die ''Plea for Peace Foundation'', mit Sitz in San José, Kalifornien.
