To facilitate playing this fusion of styles, Park performs on a unique percussion set-up consisting of korean and western instruments.

...

...he played together many foreign improviser, as Masahiko Satoh(p) ,Kang TaeHwan(a.s), Sainkho Namchylak(vo), Wadada Leo Smith(tp), Ned Rothenberg(reed), Aki Takase(p), Daisuke Fuwa(b), Gerry Hemingway(dr), Yoshihide Otomo(gt,elec), Kazutoki "Doctor" Umezu(reed), Alfred Harth(reed) and others.
His instruments set is mixed by western drum set and Korean traditional Percussions.

When he plays on stage he sitting on floor, this is looking funny but reasonable style to him, and it will come from typical Asian spirit. Because almost Asian traditional music had been played by sitting musicians.
