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 disappointing that JYP hogged the mic. I’m sure we all wanted to hear questions being answered from the artists themselves.

    Goodness, Popseoul. If you bothered to showed up at the conference, please least bring a professional camera with you.

  22. 22 tenretni February 21, 2008 at 8:14 am

    I think the reporters were scarred by those alien eyes they were all spotting… and why in hell did the wondergirls wear the same outfitts they wore at the Mkmfmk -whatever its called- Awards?

    So i guess Wondergirls were just exhibited there.. like “anybody wanna take these girls under their wings? Sisqo? Ja Rule? Somebody please !!!” ..he he

    well, popseoul sisters can’t wait for your post.. I hope you grilled that monkey (that i love and admire…-he might read this – he he) with firy questions…

  40. 40 Anna February 21, 2008 at 10:01 am

    G-soul shaved his head maybe because most US celebs have their hair style like that which is look more masculine indeed .

  41. 41 0rchid February 21, 2008 at 10:56 am

    Popseoul! Why are the pics to dark. Get a better camera. :-)

    Can’t wait to hear what JYP and his entourage had to say when you asked them questions!

  42. 42 Liz February 21, 2008 at 11:03 am

    Popseoul, you gave everyone “alien eyes” in the pictures. What happened to your flash? Or were you too far away?

    Anyways, you rock for booking a seat at the press conference.

    Keep us updated. This is really fun.

  43. 43 tazz February 21, 2008 at 11:04 am

    LOL
    Lil Jon looks like hes having FUNNNNNN

  47. 47 Seeny February 21, 2008 at 12:07 pm

    thanks for the pics! and thanks for going and asking questions, even if they weren’t that challenging- I’d do the same if I were 5 feet away from him. lol, safety first ;)

    and geez, JYP’s hir is huge in the first set of pics.

  48. 49 lilily2 February 21, 2008 at 12:15 pm

    popseoul sisters need to take a few lessons on point and click. also, get a flash.
