JYP slogan “Because of a man”

20080107jyp.jpg

Posters with the slogan, “Because of a man” (trans: 남자 때문에) are being spotted around Seoul. Curious Koreans are wondering whether JYP really plays for the other side, or if the media whoring producer/singer will be revealing a new singer to the world.

What do you think?

  2. 2 pup January 7, 2008 at 9:30 pm

    thats.. weird o.O
    I hope its a new singer though.

    why do those posters have that image of what looks like a little girl holding a teddy bear together with that caption?

    that kinda seems perverted.

    I mean, “a Man” and the image of a female holding a stuffed animal? would a woman cling to a stuffed animal?

    eh. whatever

    wts the poster for?

  5. 5 Jackie January 7, 2008 at 9:51 pm

    i hope this is a sign that he’ll be coming out of the closet soon … i wonder if this man is Bi xP

    @spin: How do you know it’s a female? It could be a male.

    Another unexpected move from JYP. I think it will be good, just like all the other singers from him.

  8. 8 spin January 7, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    Cyan:

    the sleeve looks lacy, and the shirt material billowy, like its a dress? Although, I think popseoul has shown us the extent JYP will go in his fashion explorations….*coughs* The outfit looks like it alot more feminine than masculine, and the same goes to the arm.

    Plus, typically, aren’t girls (statistically speaking) usually the ones given items to ‘nurture’ like stuffed animals & dolls while boys typically are given cars, action figures, sets (like legos, etc)?

    Just from a marketing viewpoint that poster promotes those sorts of assumptions. Unless he wanted to make a totally gay poster, and if so, he totally succeeded.

  9. 9 whatever~ January 7, 2008 at 10:49 pm

    Most likely a new singer, hope it’s gonna be good

  10. 10 Faa January 7, 2008 at 10:51 pm

    The whole thing does seem very disturbing. The rain drops/tear drops or whatever paired with the what appears to be a young girl holding a battered looking teddy…
    I really don’t know what to make of it but JYP is damn creepy so who knows.
    If it’s some ill-advised advertising ploy about an abused girl/woman that he’s using for his newest product/singer I’m gonna be pissed at him for cheapening the suffering of battered women/children.

  11. 11 Cindel January 7, 2008 at 11:14 pm

    Sounds like he has new perfume coming out.

  12. 12 charzzy January 7, 2008 at 11:36 pm

    presented by JYP lolz
    i wonder what

    figures of JYP himself? XD

  13. 13 kimini January 8, 2008 at 12:01 am

    might be a movie or drama…..it would be like him to throw something from out of nowhere at us. -___-

    either that or some weird emo girl group.

  14. 14 cloud January 8, 2008 at 12:44 am

    probably G-soul is comin’ out..

  15. 15 Spamstereeno January 8, 2008 at 1:08 am

    can you really tell the differece between what guys are straight and gay in Korea anyway? They all kiss and hug and do that “skinship” sh1t as it is.

  16. 16 Haha January 8, 2008 at 1:18 am

    Dude he supports CP just like Obama. Don’t be surprised if his new act is with a young girl.

  17. 17 teabag January 8, 2008 at 1:42 am

    I read the new singer is a female, at first they said it was G-sould but remember she will debut in USA not in SK.
    Now they are pointing out Ju, a trainee
    still a girl though

  18. 18 teabag January 8, 2008 at 1:44 am

    look at the arms, it looks slim enough to be a girl.
    plus her outfit is like a long sleeve mini dress

  19. 19 marmar January 8, 2008 at 2:45 am

    LOL@Jackie.
    I think his coming out of closet as well and the guy is Bi..whom he has been missing since Bi left him..LMAO

  20. 20 for real January 8, 2008 at 3:26 am

    what’s with the random posters…a new album title?

  21. 21 CHICKEN!!! January 8, 2008 at 7:07 am

    call me weird but from first glance i thought the pic was that of KFC chicken leg!!i was like wth but then i noticed it was a teddy bear…MAN I MUST BE HUNGRY!!

  22. 22 Kristina January 8, 2008 at 7:47 am

    lol i thought it was a rocket or something
    i couldnt see the teddy bear ..
    it looked like brown smoke..

  23. 23 Spamstereeno January 8, 2008 at 7:54 am

    At first, I thought it was a dick going up his gay ass

  24. 24 Butter January 8, 2008 at 7:58 am

    i hop is a new singer. he better be hot. x]

  25. 25 DT January 8, 2008 at 8:03 am

    JYP is coming out of the closet finally! jk, but if it was a new male solo artist, it would be a nice break from all the boy bands, however he prolly will be constantly compared to Mr. Overrated (Rain)and spiral down into nothingness like many of JYP’s other attempts to create a solo artist.

  26. 26 DT January 8, 2008 at 8:04 am

    Oops i meant male solo, the females solo artists ahve been doing pretty well. Other than Rain many JYP male artists/trainees are virtually nobodies.

  27. 27 May January 8, 2008 at 8:30 am

    I dunno if that’s going to be a girl or a boy but…
    I’ll definitely be looking forward to any JYP’s new artist.

  28. 28 DAPHNE January 8, 2008 at 9:59 am

    hope its a guy~

    wouldnt mind if he liked guys~ XD

  29. 29 Masaya January 8, 2008 at 10:37 am

    It’s the truth he can’t deny.

  30. 30 elite January 8, 2008 at 12:01 pm

    I think it’s a female in that poster. “Because of a man”, some guy did something and this is the result of it, a female holding a teddy bear. Hmmm…could this be new mv? new artist? or sad love story? LOL.

  31. 31 Shanny January 8, 2008 at 12:18 pm

    lol scotch tape them things up to every bulding why dont you.

  32. 32 nia January 8, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    im pretty curious abt the posters..my guess is that it’ll be a new singer??

  33. 33 XiaoXi January 8, 2008 at 4:23 pm

    Is this the way he wants to push sexuality in Korea, by using children????

    If so, he is even more of a creepy, disgusting monster than even I could imagine–and I already firmly believe he is a child molester who also pimps out his under-aged stars…

  34. 34 kay January 8, 2008 at 6:02 pm

    the slogan is.. seriously gay.

    and what are those blue spots supposed to be? or is that just because its raining in seoul and those are just raindrops? @_@
    it looks like some emo movie where the girl tries to kill herself because of a man… which kinda makes sense.. i guess?
    if my random guess is correct i seriously hope jyp ain’t the lead actor. because then that would be hopelessly stupid.

  35. 35 Aya (Not logged in) January 8, 2008 at 8:44 pm

    It seems to me a man holding a teddy bear. It looks to me like its supposed to be mourning something or … well, men who hold teddy bears usually are in a war zone but knowing korea his girlfriend cheated on him and this is the teddy bear she got him for their first anniversary and now he willsit in a chair grasping his head and making angsty eyebrows.

  36. 36 Aya (Not logged in) January 8, 2008 at 8:46 pm

    In the middle of his lonely apartment. Just thought Id specify.

  37. 37 Mhoho January 8, 2008 at 10:30 pm

    I hope that will be the 12-membered boyband!

  38. 38 lora January 9, 2008 at 2:16 am

    haha it wouldnt be a 12 membered boyband… “because of A MAN??”

    maybe hes gonna announce to the world hes gay? lol

  39. 39 Spamstereeno January 9, 2008 at 2:39 am

    @ kay
    The “spots” you see on the poster are cum stains. The poster is a subliminal message ha ha!

  40. 40 tenretni January 9, 2008 at 3:47 am

    his gayness has no limit…

  41. 41 Min A January 9, 2008 at 5:29 am

    hmmm…sounds like a new singer…didn’t other ppl do this kind of promotion b4? where they have mysterious posters up? that’s cool…i hope it’s a new singer…maybe the next world star. ^_^

  42. 42 hoiakoito January 9, 2008 at 10:34 am

    JYP Entertainment is marketing its new singer through posters and post-its, which started circulating in Seoul last January 6, with the copy “Because of a Man.”

    There is not much about who this new singer is but two days ago in Bestiz, a Netizen posted an audio clip of “Joo,” a female singer who is under JYP and will debut this January.

    Source: Newsen & krnloop

    wow. i must check out bestiz to hear her voice.

  43. 44 cherry_o January 9, 2008 at 2:13 pm

    New singer called “JOO” is releasing her first single called “남자 때문에” next week.

  44. 45 jacaheyo January 10, 2008 at 12:12 am

    owh. so it’s joo. LOL.

  45. 46 Super Rice Man January 10, 2008 at 12:59 am

    how gay….koreans always comes out with the “How manly we are” stuff…but they all seem like pussies to me….pardon my english please…

  46. 47 who? January 10, 2008 at 2:10 am

    …heck?

    good. i thought it was a young version of JYP. that would be terrible.

  47. 48 tomorrowq January 22, 2008 at 6:19 pm

    Personally, I kindda thought that was a good move. It makes people curious, and people will talk and do research about it. It’s all about the psychology of human and bussiness. and it does work isnt it? ^^ JOO is great, and JYP is definately a smart bussinessman!

  48. 49 han January 23, 2008 at 3:18 am

    what’s happen to JOO?
