JYP pushes for his “big group”

Jyp_20080123_popseoul

There is absolutely no need for another big group, but JYP is pushing his mob of trainees to challenge father SM. So what’s their differentiation point from the first mob, Super Junior? JYP thinks their diverse background and long training periods will make them the next big thing, but we’ll hold off our judgment before their official debut.

You can check out these 13 trainees on Mnet’s Hot Men – more like pretty boys on Friday, January 25th and can even impact these pretty boys’ debut, since the group’s name and the members are determined by netizens votes.

I must say, I feel bad for these trainees since their future career is in the hands of irrational and emotional netizens. For once, I think JYP should just push this big group’s debut without appealing to netizens.

    no. i won’t allow this. but even if i don’t, i’m only a netizen and i can’t do anything about this unfortunate event. :\
    i’m a super junior supporter and i will be forever that. that fact made me hate this new group. it’s a stupid idea in the first place because super junior is the original big boy group in korea and some people actually many people would just think that this new group is an imitation of super junior. just admit it, it’s true.
    about suju’s talents, they’re doing their best to make people happy and that’s what i like about them, they make up for what they lack to entertaining us in some other ways. super junior is a happy group, and who said that they only do singing and dancing. open your eyes people! to be honest, only 20% or maybe even less of the k-pop stars really have the talent but do they all get noticed? not all of them, in my opinion. so talent is not that important….hahaha. well it is, but as what i observe with the famous k-pop stars, not all of them are talented and yet they’re still famous, so talent is just a portion of becoming a star.
    this’s only my opinion, i’m being civilized here people so please, think before you comment.

    i will forever love super junior. you know, some people really lack originality. and i thought jyp was original, with his wondergirls and rain. i was wrong! now he makes a counterpart of suju. that’s a disgrace!

    I think the JYP”s group will do fine..and since it’s not really a 13 member group..I don’t think it’s such a big deal with suju. Besides, if you really looked at them..some of them are really cute..must say they’re more mature than F.T. Island..by fact and appearance…and bet sing better than most of suju(not to offend suju fans cuz I like their music just don’ think that many of them have decent voices, those who don’t agree with me, check out HeeChul’s singing live…=_=)
    Anywayz, I’m rooting for JYP’s new band especially cuz the guys are from many countries..and some even speak fluents english so you can at least dream of talking to them properly (or me^^” who doesn speak korean)
    too much too say
    SO
    “GO JYP”S NEW BAND :D

  4. 4 IT"S NOT A 13 MEMBER BAND! MEMBERS ARE CHOSEN BY NETIZENS!! AND THE OLDEST MEMBER IS ONLY 19 SO THEY ARE NOT OLD!! January 29, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    JUST TO LET THOSE PEOPLE KNOW WHO

    CAN’T READ PROPERLY

    THE OLDEST MEMBER IS 19-20YEARS OLD SO

    THEY ARE NOT OLD

    ALSO

    THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A 13 MEMBER

    THERE MIGHT BE 5 MEMBERS NOT 13

    Ok I am so confused now. I am like gone for what..few days and how many new boybands are we looking at now??

  7. 7 me February 7, 2008 at 8:50 am

    lol it’s not a 13 member boy group everyone. It’s just starting out with 13 members, and one by one people will get eliminated, so we don’t know how many will debut in the end. JYP’s not stupid enough to create another popular yet disastrous Super Junior >_>

  8. 8 toilanguoithuy February 12, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    man peoplesare son creul stop bring these boys down.
    stop comparing them to suju they are different you inconsiderate people wouldnt know because you dont understand i see were you are cominhgfrom more names to remember but there isnt going to be 13 members get it through your head.
    leave kim junsu alone just because he has the same name doesnt mean anything if you dont know who can do what than why judge, i mean he actually is a really good sing and i am rooting for him if he changes his name or not.

    i think its retarted that out of all the number it had to be a 13 member group hello jyp theres already super junior which has been out longer with better looking boys i think that super junior will still be at the top when it comes to this and the other group. hmm .. i should judge right now but i guess ill see when this 13 member band comes out. and they have a tawinese boy kinda like super junior but with a chinese member

  17. 17 haveuread March 19, 2008 at 4:20 pm
