JYP hoggs the mike at the press conference

jype-20080220-popseoul-20copy1.jpg

As expected, JYP did most of the talking today, answering for his Engrish speaking artists, at the press conference for his upcoming concert tour. Unfortunately, what came out of his mouth wasn’t all that impressive or informative. Everything was pretty much a regurgitation of everything we had heard before.

What made this little media gathering even more disappointing was that the Korean reporters were too shy to fire up any interesting questions since the press conference was held in English. So, the POPSEOUL! sisters rose up to the occasion and started asking challenging questions. Honestly, we wanted to ask challenging questions, but with the dancing gorilla facing us less than five feet away, we had to be cautious of his attack.

So stay tuned for the gorilla friendly re-cap of the JYP press conference and POPSEOUL!’s exclusive coverage of behind the scenes with the Wondergirls, J Lim, Min and G-Soul.

Check out totally unprofessional and unflattering pictures of the JYP mafia taken by the POPSEOUL! sisters after the jump.

    it’s reasonable for him to hog the mic…he’s the most proficient in english than all the rest of his artists.

    JYP hogging the microphone. He must have mistaken the microphone for a banana and wanted to eat it.

    But seriously, if he is hogging the mic and protecting his “talents”, it just shows that he doesn’t have any faith on them. I hope that he is not doing this for his own gain in the expense of these poor kids to create buzz about his career by pretending to introduce artists that can penetrate the US market but all along its for his advancement.

    I really don’t like to speculate, but it seems to me that what he is doing might just what I have in mind. I sincerely hope I am wrong on this one or else I might just be, for one time, be cruel to an animal.

    I give head, im shy, but i kinda give head to all the guys

    JYP IS SO OBSESSED WITH AMERICA !!!

    wtfunk is min wearing? should people wear tummy-revealing things to a press conference? and seems like she’s trying to fix one side of the overall thing. anyways, i’d like to meet the wondergirls! *_*

  11. 11 rawr February 22, 2008 at 7:12 am

    oh yeah, i understand the camera aint high quality, but atleast there was one.

    Min’s ex-husband posted the lyrics to of his ex-wife’s song: “Go Ahead” and it goes a little something like this, “I give head, I’m shy, but I kinda give head to all the guys. I give head, you don’t even have to be my boyfriend.”

    You gotta be kidding me. If this is true, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we need all the help we can get to stop this. I thought she’s been studying english but it seems to be that it’s not paying off. She doesn’t seem to understand what she’s singing. Is JYP training her to be a singer or a four letter word that rhyme’s with “shut”?

    This is what you get from collaborating with Lil John-slutty lyrics. I don’t think parents of their target market, girls around her age (15-16), will be buying her albums. Even matured audiences will not find this one funny-I kinda give head to all the guys.

    Way to represent JYP. Way to represent and incorporate, in your own words, “our music”.

    why so hostile Popseoul? I like the music JYP produces.

  14. 14 pootcha February 22, 2008 at 7:55 am

    Its my bad that I didn’t check the lyrics first on Min’s “Go Ahead” single. So before anything goes out of control, I take what I said back and offer sincerest apology to all.

  15. 15 lil jon February 22, 2008 at 1:16 pm

    i didnt’ know he was that short… no wonder he calls himself lil jon hahaha

    Insightful article.

  17. 17 andesmint February 22, 2008 at 4:41 pm

    Why are all the girls sporting the same hairstyle. Do they not have enough money for more than one stylist?

  18. 18 Dumpling February 22, 2008 at 8:34 pm

    Min’s ex-husband?? I’M CONFUSED. I thought it was posted here that she’s 16??? A few other people even commented “I didn’t know she was 16″ and no one corrected us. What gives? Is she 16 or not?

  19. 19 Dumpling February 22, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    Oh, this is great. I hadn’t looked at all the pics before. She had to ADJUST HER CLOTHING right in front of everyone at a major press conference. How come no one picked up on this?

    Cheap. Tacky. Immature. Unprofessional.

  20. 20 rawr February 23, 2008 at 2:52 pm

    yeah i figured she was adjusting her attire as well. eh, better that then to see her clothes fall right off.
