JYP introduces his next product named Joo

Joo_20080110

The random “Because of a man” posters spotted around Seoul was for JYP’s new ballad singer named Joo. This eighteen year old was one of the final candidates of Super Star Survivor, Korean version of American Idol and JYP took her under his wings 18 months ago because he saw a lot of potential.

As long as JYP is producing her music and not her fashion, she should be good to go.

Joo will make her debut on KBS’s Music Bank this weekend.

    She sounds good.
    Can’t wait to hear her other songs.

    JYP is putting out all the stops isn’t he? Anyway, he’s having a concert in the states next month and in march.

    lol she looks kinda funny

  7. 7 for real January 10, 2008 at 11:45 pm

    she does look a bit weird in a funny way, but cute from afar.
    well you know JYP is known to value talent over looks…an exceptional case is the wondergirls; they’re ugly and can’t sing.

  8. 8 Raye January 11, 2008 at 12:31 am

    she is cute her voice is ok.

  9. 9 blinkable January 11, 2008 at 12:39 am

    wow Super Star Survivor..I didnt know that ^^

  10. 11 Thihi-girl January 11, 2008 at 1:46 am

    Oh I love her voice!

  11. 12 carmen January 11, 2008 at 2:14 am

    clear voice, non-mass-produced-image, seemingly plastic free–overall a good impression!

  12. 13 carmen January 11, 2008 at 2:16 am

    hmm..then again, after checking out fony’s link, ‘m reconsidering my previous comment

  13. 14 marmar January 11, 2008 at 2:46 am

    LOL..fo’reals as long as JYP is just the producer and not the stylist for her then she should be good to go..then again her clothes in the pictures are not flattering either.
    I’ll check her out later.

  14. 15 shinjinny January 11, 2008 at 3:09 am

    I like the clothes. I love the tent dress with the strappy heels.

  15. 16 Andy January 11, 2008 at 3:18 am

    she looks like sunmi from wondergirls

  16. 17 paintgrl January 11, 2008 at 4:21 am

    i don’t think she looks weird forreal…it’s because every other korean talent you’ve seen have gone under the knife…this chick looks fresh. untainted by plastic surgeons hands.

    honestly at first I was taken aback by her nose…i thought there’s something wrong with her nose…but no. that nose is quite normal and natural…i’ve just gotten too comfortable with the faux looks all the other korean girls had. she’s cute.

  17. 18 Brina January 11, 2008 at 4:22 am

    Not a HUGE fan of boring K ballads like this, but her voice is nice.

  18. 19 polynasian January 11, 2008 at 4:35 am

    Her voice is ok nothing really special.

  19. 20 yetaz January 11, 2008 at 5:58 am

    she must have lost her virginity to JYP. horrible korean ballad voice. plus attitude problems on Superstar Survival.

  20. 21 BKJSuh January 11, 2008 at 6:17 am

    Nothing special, I guess JYP has nothing to brag about now.

  21. 22 anon January 11, 2008 at 6:21 am

    Just because she is not pretty does not mean she did not recieve surgury. It seems as though she got eye surgury (Judging from the pic posted above by fony…

  22. 23 Omo January 11, 2008 at 6:51 am

    LOVE the new banner! Would like to share Rain’s hood.

    Dear Joo,
    No matter how much JYP begs, do not, DO NOT wear anything he hands you.

  23. 24 suga January 11, 2008 at 7:03 am

    haha it looks like most of JYP’s artists are plastic free~ yay for him~

  24. 25 xoxLIZZI3xox January 11, 2008 at 7:03 am

    i like her too….i hope she does stay natural but i feel later on she might be pressured to get some plastic surgery

    but anyways its like jyp likes his people natural..did any wonder girls get any plastic surgery?

  25. 26 okeydoke January 11, 2008 at 7:10 am

    its true.. she doesn’t look too special
    but her voice is unique and sweet

    i hope she sings more ballads like this one

  26. 27 Butter January 11, 2008 at 7:42 am

    she looks fugly. and isn’t that boyband that will be debuting this year that 12 member thing.

  27. 28 reeds4 January 11, 2008 at 8:39 am

    she looks k..
    but what about tht 12 member boyband?

  28. 29 Dumpling January 11, 2008 at 8:41 am

    Damn, she’s pretty and cute as a button. I hope Gay-Face doesn’t get her all whored-up.

  29. 30 ?? January 11, 2008 at 8:52 am

    well it’s not everyday you see an eighteen year old singing ballads… (do they even have enough experience in love to sing ballads cuz that’s what they are about anyways eh?)

  30. 31 ?? January 11, 2008 at 8:55 am

    errr after watching her MV on youtube…i find her voice a bit too high to be singing ballads… becuz when i listen to ballads i tend to favor the soothing moderate pitched voices. her voice would be better suited for pop

  31. 32 Coutura January 11, 2008 at 9:16 am

    I like her so far; her voice is okay, but her style is refreshing.

    Just a note – should it be “potential” the fifth line down?

  32. 33 Aigoo January 11, 2008 at 9:21 am

    O.O Her dress is stunning…

  33. 34 Inok January 11, 2008 at 9:46 am

    Her voice is mediocre.
    She is kinda fugly, not fresh.
    She will FLOP.

  34. 35 SF January 11, 2008 at 11:06 am

    I like her dress.. flow-y :)
    I don’t think she’ll make it either though; it doesn’t seem solo female ballad singers aren’t “in” right now. They either have got be sexy or in a group ^^;;

  35. 36 Whatever January 11, 2008 at 11:27 am

    Her voice isn’t spectacular, you can hear it sounds strained in parts of the MV…but it’s very pleasant. :)

    Her look is very natural in this picture…at least more so than the ones I usually see. Every person saying she is ugly needs to take a good, hard look at whomever they think is pretty before they’ve magicked their face up with 2 tons of make-up.

  36. 37 kimini January 11, 2008 at 11:31 am

    she’s hella cute. ^__^

    and damn her legs are loooooooooooong. 0__0

  37. 38 madyjune January 11, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    I listened to her single and luv track 2, a cover version of J’s Faith.

  38. 39 junsufan January 12, 2008 at 1:07 am

    the feeling is so ZLY-ish.. LOL..*whr is ZLY these days..* she seems..so-so..

  39. 40 Vivian January 12, 2008 at 4:00 am

    Can’t believe pp go gaga over this girl. Her debut is not impressive a bit. She is SO-SO soo MEDIOCRE. Wake up pp!!!

  40. 41 who? January 15, 2008 at 12:49 am

    woah, JYP’s training some boyband? now that’s interesting. wonder what kind of boys will he produce now. as long as it’s not a new generation JYPs

  41. 42 BB January 21, 2008 at 6:43 am

    what a bunch of haters and im guessing you all just jealous because she can sing not like u ass clowns!
