Wondergirls’ mentor, JYP shows us how its done

10.04 park jin young

Although it’s very common to see dancing gorillas at the zoo, it’s very uncommon to see one in shorts dancing to lame 80s wannabe song so check this clip out. JYP, the mega-producer is teaching the Wondergirls how he wants them to dance to the 80s tune. Now I understand why Wondergirls look so awkward during their performances - it’s because they are learning from a gorilla!

  4. 4 dayna October 3, 2007 at 10:45 pm

  6. 6 jackie October 3, 2007 at 10:49 pm

    omgsh.
    this is funny

  7. 7 ew October 3, 2007 at 10:54 pm

    wth!?!?

  8. 8 lalala October 3, 2007 at 11:07 pm

    haha i usually agree with you, popseoul….

    BUT, if you really know the k-pop world since way back, then you should know that JYP used to be one of the most talented and best dancers out there with his moving of the hips and such(he’s still talented in everything, he’s just kinda ugly lol)

  9. 9 popseoul October 3, 2007 at 11:09 pm

    lalala- we know… but (un)fortunately he is better off using his talents to create new ones…the man can bust a move though

  10. 10 amused October 3, 2007 at 11:10 pm

    His performances are very entertaining. You can tell he’s really enjoying himself and somehow, he manages to draw the crowd in. And he’s a talented songwriter and producer too.

    The man’s got talent. He just doesn’t have looks.

  11. 11 Eve October 3, 2007 at 11:21 pm

    wow he’s quite a talent.

  12. 12 Eve October 3, 2007 at 11:25 pm

    And i didn’t see it as a gorilla dancing…he’s much better than the wonder girls.

  13. 13 nvm October 3, 2007 at 11:27 pm

    LOL that was hilarious!! didnt expect that

  14. 14 lyn October 3, 2007 at 11:43 pm

    He’s an ugly looking man, but he can move.

  15. 15 rocketfuel October 3, 2007 at 11:51 pm

    he can certainly glide.

  16. 16 Vanessaly October 3, 2007 at 11:52 pm

    LOL he is ugly but good

  17. 17 XiaoXi October 3, 2007 at 11:55 pm

    He does creep me out. but he has that 80’s vibe down. I guess that’s a good thing…

  18. 18 miraigal October 4, 2007 at 12:05 am

    I had a good laugh watching the clip.

  19. 19 teabag October 4, 2007 at 12:24 am

    old bag but he still got the moves a

  20. 20 rocketfuel October 4, 2007 at 12:38 am

    he has a face for radio….but his brain is big enough that he can peak out once in a while and tell others what to do. He should feel fortunate he wasn’t born a woman, because then people would really be cruel and ignore that he has any talent whatsoever.

  21. 21 bebetama October 4, 2007 at 1:14 am

    He’s good,Im surprised

  22. 22 mackten October 4, 2007 at 1:26 am

    The dude can move, but the face…

  23. 23 becker October 4, 2007 at 1:33 am

    Wow, he’s actually really good.
    His moves are really smooth! Impressive.

  24. 24 DM October 4, 2007 at 1:44 am

    Hello… he IS the Brain from “Pinky & the Brain.”
    He’s got the face.

  25. 25 shinjinny October 4, 2007 at 2:15 am

    He kind of does look like the missing link…

  26. 26 Narae October 4, 2007 at 2:18 am

    bwahaha…that was funny. Thanks for sharing!!!

  27. 27 kp October 4, 2007 at 2:32 am

    LMAO. why is this taped?

  28. 28 Se7enFan October 4, 2007 at 2:42 am

    yooo….JYP is soo ugly. But you know you see it aint stop him. I can’t get mad at him…just wish he could do something with that permanent look of pissed offness that he has on his face.

  29. 29 Yang October 4, 2007 at 3:13 am

    Oh the hilarity…*sighs* he can move better than I. I’m slightly jealous of his shamelessness.

  30. 30 kculture October 4, 2007 at 3:55 am

    He was an ug-o then, still is an ug-o now.
    But DAMN, he’s truly the king of dance.
    That reminds me of this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WGXuiJnXPmU

  31. 31 her rambles October 4, 2007 at 4:05 am

    hahaha how does this stuff get released

  32. 32 hearmeroar October 4, 2007 at 4:24 am

    HAHAHHAHA so funny… and
    @her rambles: that’s exactly what i’m wondering!

    obviously, jyp is going to be involved in their choreography & stuff, but why the hell would he release this vid online?!?!

    but even though he LOOKS worse than the girls (as in, he’s ugly, and he’s dancing like a girl which is really awkward), i think he dances this way better than they do! HAHHA.

  33. 33 teabag October 4, 2007 at 4:34 am

    ^He was in US that time so he sent Wonder Girls this video to teach them.

  34. 34 Karen October 4, 2007 at 4:46 am

    He creeps me out a little, and he’s not the best looking guy in the world, but you just gotta love JYP XD

  35. 35 geekgirl October 4, 2007 at 4:56 am

    Proof that you don’t have to be good-looking to be successful. And with that face … you know he didn’t get anything fixed up! Kudos to JYP!

  36. 36 liquidhope October 4, 2007 at 5:19 am

    omfg.. i think he sang that bg music too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. 37 May October 4, 2007 at 5:50 am

    JYP I LOVE YOU! I thought he did better than the Wondergirls.

    well, it doesn’t shock me bc he used to be a dancer/singer as well.

  38. 38 yixxx October 4, 2007 at 5:54 am

    Aww come on you guys… He’s doing very good, he dance skill is very good for the age ^^, besides he was one of the best in 90’s ^^

  39. 39 toocutedoggy October 4, 2007 at 7:11 am

    haha, the olden days JYP singer is now dancing with his hips…lol …haha, great job

  40. 40 gahhhhhhh October 4, 2007 at 7:18 am

    on the plus side.. he can dance 80’s style

  41. 41 thu_tinh October 4, 2007 at 7:27 am

    lol that was awesome! he wrote the song and thought of the dance moves too?

  42. 42 uhuh October 4, 2007 at 8:16 am

    he’s good though… but i hate seeing him! he looks so mean!
    and hey this dance isnt that bad either!

  43. 43 qing qing October 4, 2007 at 8:39 am

    hey atleast he has the moves, even though he does look like a gorilla

  44. 44 daneil October 4, 2007 at 9:10 am

    he may not be attractive but he still can dance better then some of the singers out there.

  45. 45 shanny October 4, 2007 at 9:12 am

    I’m just wondering… is he gay by any chance lol?

  46. 46 DM October 4, 2007 at 9:26 am

    Those are simple dance moves, gosh can’t these girls do anything by themselves??? They can’t think of simple moves themselves? They have to have JYP hold their hand through everything! I bet you he shows them how to sing their songs too.

    I don’t know if these girls are really talented or not… but it doesn’t SEEM like it.

    You, you and YOU can probably do just as good if you were managed by him. You just have to be cute, I guess…

  47. 47 Pigbar October 4, 2007 at 9:32 am

    JYP is creepy. He must either fool around young girls and/or boys….like the founder of nSync.

  48. 48 danielle October 4, 2007 at 9:38 am

    JYP’s face is similar to a bat’s.

  49. 49 danielle October 4, 2007 at 9:40 am

    OH. MY. GOD. BACKTRACK.

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=WGXuiJnXPmU

    MY. GOODNESS.

  50. 50 park jin young?????? October 4, 2007 at 10:07 am

    omg. he’s still around. i love that guy, he’s not cute but that man know how to sing! and i guess he know how to dance too hahaha.. smooth. looked kinda gay.. but it’s all good.

  51. 51 shine[heart]kangin October 4, 2007 at 10:21 am

    what a loser.

  52. 52 Lily October 4, 2007 at 11:07 am

    ROFL…

  53. 53 May October 4, 2007 at 11:20 am

    By the way, this is NOTHING comparing to his performance at Rain’s concert at Madison Square Garden. You guys act like he’s so old. This producer is only 35. What an accomplishment at that age! :)

  54. 54 yeoreum October 4, 2007 at 11:22 am

    i find it okay.. not cute but realy motivating… if you want something to be done, do it yourself as they always say…

  55. 55 Kitsune October 4, 2007 at 11:33 am

    hahaha
    funny!!
    and he is married? xDD

    well really
    I don´t like his face…
    serious is like an angry bad man
    but dancing…
    No comments
    xD

  56. 56 dudemanguy October 4, 2007 at 11:44 am

    HAHAHAHA AWESOME

  57. 57 amabelle October 4, 2007 at 12:15 pm

    the perfect word to describe JYP, a gorilla!
    hahaha! soo funny!

  58. 58 what? October 4, 2007 at 1:30 pm

    what? he’s only 35 yrs old?? he looks way older! erm..don’t know about him being a good dancer but he is a genius song writer-he almost wrote all of rain’s last cd (i think-can’t remember clearly) he does bother me, though. alot!

  59. 59 AC October 4, 2007 at 1:52 pm

    ouch! that’s harsh! but totally funny! couldn’t agree more on the “gorilla” part!

  60. 60 AC October 4, 2007 at 1:59 pm

    but i have to admit, he can really, really dance.

  61. 61 chris October 4, 2007 at 2:21 pm

    This is so funny! He looks like a gay gorilla

  62. 62 jjhero October 4, 2007 at 4:06 pm

    haha this really made me laugh thanks popseoul

  63. 63 OMG! October 4, 2007 at 4:52 pm

    man is one of the most talented people in all of korean entertainment. he’s like timbaland - everything he touches and produces turns to gold. when you have someone who started at the bottom and worked his way up, you can’t beat experience. he knows what works and doesn’t work. man is a genius. stop drinkin’ the haterade people.

  64. 64 jyyjc October 4, 2007 at 4:56 pm

    i don’t think he looks mean..i think he looks very nice..king y’know. he reminds me of the hunchback of notre dame. great dancer.

  65. 65 JaeHin October 4, 2007 at 5:16 pm

    it’s kinda scary!

  66. 66 Shila October 4, 2007 at 6:00 pm

    wtfo?! More power to him!

  67. 67 Naqiyyah October 4, 2007 at 6:40 pm

    OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    He looks freakinly GAY!!!
    EWWWW…..AHHHH!!!
    Altho, he can move~~ :p

  68. 68 Sekaiwa October 4, 2007 at 6:59 pm

    lol, if he was better looking I bet almost every single comment would be positive and congratulating him on his awesomeness. But just cuz he’s not that pretty, everyone is hating on him.

    it takes a beast to produce a “manly” man like rain and yet do the same thing for a girly group like wondergirls.

  69. 69 Angie October 4, 2007 at 10:16 pm

    wow that just made my day..that was hilarious..JYP creeps me out sometimes lol

  70. 70 ljxxv October 4, 2007 at 11:37 pm

    You are so mean LOL

  71. 71 KaWaiiMegaMi October 4, 2007 at 11:46 pm

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

    hahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha..damn i thought i was gonna die from laughin…my stomach is hurting so bad now..damn that was an exercise my tummy..still cant stop laughing..

  73. 73 Eun. October 5, 2007 at 2:29 am

    It’s kinda sweet to the see the front man of it all still very hands-on with his…girls. Funny though.

  74. 74 Rayne October 5, 2007 at 7:27 am

    shit he’s ugly.

    but yes, he’s a good dancer. :D
    DEFINITELY a gorilla! (funny chin line profile!!)

  75. 75 tae October 5, 2007 at 10:44 am

    HAHAH he looks hilarious.

  76. 76 Liz Kpopped October 5, 2007 at 11:04 am

    Ha ha ha ha ha, popseoul, you had me rolling on the floor with laughter with this entry. It’s hilarious!

    JYP, we love you for your many talents, but please, keep your day job.

    He looks like a pansy executing those moves, no?

    Ha ha ha…

  77. 77 OOOOOk October 5, 2007 at 11:10 am

    wow..some of these comments are really mean >.< lol who cares if he’s ”ugly” he makes awesome music and produces it as well..now onto the clip…lol that was hileffinglarious! he can dance tho!!

  78. 78 anna October 5, 2007 at 11:52 am

    its weird seeing a guy dance to tell me. i know JYP choreographed it but still its kinda weird cause its such a girly dance. hahahha i can’t wait to see big bang do that dance!

  79. 79 Christie October 5, 2007 at 12:25 pm

    lmfao this just totally made my day!
    this guy is just hilarious!

  80. 80 suga October 5, 2007 at 12:25 pm

    lmao, he does look like a gorilla o.o esp his face XD

  81. 81 rach October 5, 2007 at 2:58 pm

    Honestly though, as awkward and as hilarious as that was, I think he did a much MUCH much better job at it than the raging hormones of girls trying to grow up too fast group that he made. Uh, what was their name, uh wonder-something?

  82. 82 BEEEEEEP*** October 5, 2007 at 3:55 pm

    he is one ugly man! LMFAO! with that dance he does look like a dancing gorilla..

  83. 83 Carmela October 5, 2007 at 11:50 pm

    Oh my gosh….. Hahaha!!!!! LOL
    That is really awkward….. That is so hilarious…..
    But he can really dance…..
    But no offensement, he looks like a gay…..
    I don’t like his face…..
    Creepy…..

  84. 84 noobie October 6, 2007 at 3:21 am

    what is he thinking? hahahaha……are the girls really have to dance like this? poor girls…

  85. 85 azure October 8, 2007 at 1:22 am

    Aww~ I really like JYP! Even though he’s in the US, he’s sending them dance clips. Cutecute ^^

    The man’s got skills. :)

  86. 86 jyp the ULTIMATE poser October 11, 2007 at 7:35 am

    jyp is such a loser and a poser. jy, your name is not jin young park, it is park jin young. and stop trying to copy american hip hop artists. just b/c you got min or whatever that ugly stuck-up girl’s name is that is working with lil jon into the U.S. doesn’t make you a great producer. trust me, i, an asian who loves asian celebs, found her hilarious…this only means that non-asians are gonna laugh her ass out of this country. please, can’t you come up with something original?? and tell min to come back before she disgraces korea. she looked like such a “ghetto-hip hop wannabe” that when i first saw her, i cracked up (then cringed in shame) and thought to myself “here goes jin young the carbon copier again”.

  87. 87 annamaria October 14, 2007 at 5:44 am

    haha lol…
    is he ok? feeling well?

  88. 88 justme October 16, 2007 at 6:04 pm

    seriously….eighties is just so over. we relish it but this kind of dancing is kinda….OVER? he’s not good-looking but damn, he takes his career seriously and is a successful man in his own right.

    but damn….don’t like the dance AT ALL!

  89. 89 leon October 20, 2007 at 10:25 am

    did u guys know that he was also a very popular singer in korea? he was actually known for his superb dancing…especially tap dancing

  90. 90 koreanator October 24, 2007 at 2:54 pm

    you think THAT’s repulsive…?

    I’ve seen this guy dancing live on stage. Man he’s worse than mini-me doing an imperson of justin timberlake doing an impersonation of usher doing an impersonation of michael jackson doing an impersonation of james brown!

    damn. it was disgusting. especially because he is so go’dam ugly and always jutts his head forward, so that his neck looks like some kind of over extended turtle’s neck. damn. i almost puked. fortunately, he was opening for BI, who is an awesome performer and dancer. although he did lip sinc.

  91. 91 tata November 4, 2007 at 7:17 am

    after watching above youtube clip:
    he is gay

  92. 92 nina November 4, 2007 at 9:44 am

    poor JYP…he’s only in his thirties right? he did not age well at all, time has not been very good to him…or did he always look like this??

  93. 93 oh-noes November 6, 2007 at 1:43 pm

    I think it’s pretty funny. period. Some of you are mean…though he isn’t that cute…but he can dance and looks aren’t everything imo…hehe someone says his face looks like a bat lol oh noes I caught the mean bug!
    and I watched that youtube clip…GREAT

  94. 94 sweet November 6, 2007 at 9:08 pm

    for a guy he sure can dance! bravo! lolz

  95. 95 xtng December 13, 2007 at 7:53 am

    He’s a good dancer, just not that good to look at.

  96. 96 K3y0fH3aRT December 19, 2007 at 8:41 pm

    AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!!……………XD

  97. 97 lhaine13 December 23, 2007 at 11:17 pm

    i love the music bank last saturday but when he appeared i started to get irritated and started to swear on him i dont like the way he sings and dance.. what he looks like “bonjing” (a big kid dresses in a baby suit)
    i dont know how he became singer or dancer or artist ahh

  98. 98 confused December 26, 2007 at 10:13 am

    he’s pretty flexible for an old dude. I’ll give him that.

    I can’t help but wonder:

    can he dance to more modern music? now there’s a challenge.

  99. 99 haha December 30, 2007 at 5:31 pm

    hahahahaa the gorrila part was funny

  100. 100 crystal199187 January 10, 2008 at 8:18 pm

    all i could say is ewwwwwww!!!!!

  101. 101 Feng February 24, 2008 at 2:08 am

    Man, I’m getting sick of all the comments about his face. I think I have uglier and he’s passable. Considering his fortune, I think he’s more than passable. I’d like to see all of you up there…

    Look at this dancing, that’s pretty good. I’ll be very surprised if any of you can dance better than him.

  102. 102 ELFrescuee March 16, 2008 at 8:18 am

    lemme say something.
    YES. i have to agree that PJY is pretty ugly. (*cough* gorilla *cough*)
    but he has talent!&determination.
    if u listen to some of his shows, he tried so hard!

  103. 103 heenimxluv August 16, 2008 at 4:29 am

    actually he`s not that bad but it`s just….awkward..

  104. 104 ashleeeeeee September 22, 2008 at 11:17 am

    hilariouss

  105. 105 nighthawk September 23, 2008 at 6:21 am

    the man got talent…and he knows what he’s doing..he has this “it” thing that other people doesn’t have no matter how good looking they are…that’s why..i guess his still “in” the business..

    cheers..

  106. 106 Selina September 25, 2008 at 1:25 am

    JYP IS talented, but this… *bursts out laughing* amazing how he can do that wave though… and absolutely loved his recording… we can even hear the original chorus (Tell me, tell me, tell me that you want me)
