When the dancing gorilla aka JYP was out of site, Min had no problem speaking her mind, but her responses seemed either too rehearsed or unfocused, making me wonder if this is how teenagers talk these days. Other than that, Min was easy going and very friendly.
As JYP mentioned, Min will be the first one to debut from the JYP troop and the girl even stopped going to school to concentrate on her album so check out what she had to say about her her life in the states and her upcoming album.
Tell us about your typical day. Do you have a routine you stick to?
My day is always real busy especially because I’m finishing up my album right now and getting ready for the concert. My typical day is training in vocals and dance, studying, going to the gym, recording, and maybe free time to talk to my friends and go online.
Was it hard to get adjusted to living in the states?
No it wasn’t that hard because I came to the US when I was pretty young. I love Korea but I like living in America too. Korea and America both feel like home to me.
Tell us more about your album. What’s the concept? Is it almost complete? When is your tentative debut date if you have one?
I have a few more songs to record and work on in the album. I can’t tell you the date and the entire concept yet, but it’ll be out this year and it’s gonna be a fun album with a lot that you can dance to.
It’s really hard for Asian artists to make it in the US, what are you expectations and how do you think you can overcome the challenges?
I know it’s hard for Asian artists in the US, but I’m very lucky to have JY and Lil Jon behind me producing my album. I think with JY involved in my music I’ll have music that goes with me and my style really well.
What is your biggest weakness? Strengths?
My biggest strength is my dance and my energy. I feel my high energy lets me train and work as hard as possible. I think my weakness is discipline. Sometimes my energy is too much and I can lose focus, so that’s something I have to work on.
How is it working with JYP?
JY is tough but he’s fair and he’s taught me so much. I’m really thankful for him believing in me and giving me a chance in the US.
Questions from POPSEOUL! Readers
Do you think you have what it takes to make it in the US industry, the hardest industry to be successful in, when singers like Hikaru Utada, a Japanese-American, have failed? (J)
I really want to succeed in the US but even if I fail I will always be grateful that I had this chance to work with amazing producers and it will be one of the most precious memories of my life.
How was it like training with SNSD’s Hyoyeon & what is your impression of her? (eggtaart ~)
She is so talented. I’m happy for all her success and I think she is a great singer and dancer.
Since we know that you are already a great dancer, what are other aspects do you think you still need to work on? (lalala)
I definitely have to work on my vocals, and I still have to work on my dancing a lot.
as you are on the verge of debuting, are you apprehensive of the pressure to be a ‘role model’ for other girls your age, or do you embrace it? also, do you plan on collaborating with other young female singers/rappers? (amirah)
Right now I’m just focusing on recording and releasing my debut album. I don’t think I’ll be good enough to be a role model, but I’ll do my best to be the best artist I can be. After my debut album, I would love to work with different artists, but I haven’t really thought about it and just want to focus on my debut.
We would like to thank Min for agreeing to do this interview and our POPSEOUL! readers for participating.

POPSEOUL! Exclusive Interview with G-Soul
POPSEOUL! Exclusive Q&A with JYP
POPSEOUL! meets the JYP Troop
JYP hoggs the mike at the press conference
~*~*WoW! That was nice! She seems like a sweet girl.
but did she really stop going to school? She is only like 15 or 16 yrs old, right!?!*~*~
P.S.
Good Job POPSEOUL!
hummm yes it does seem alittle fake to me. BUT she seem nice. thanks
first, i thought my interview with min was better. imo
popseoul. did you fire your photographer. after we gave you crap about the previous photos being so dark, did you can your photographer?
it seems min is taking a picture of her by herself. popseoul, are you that cheap? min has her arm stretched out and pushed the button by herself. from now on is this going to be standard procedure for all your interveiwees.
i should know about his standard procedure of self protrait taking, usually in front of the bathroom mirror, because of my many discussions with my freinds JOHNNYDORAMA AND KENSAI. many times we have had heated arguments of how to best take pictures of ourselves before downloading them to korean adultfinder.
we are professionals
thank you
god bless
lim33853, get over it. For once, I support Popseoul. You don’t need to go around demanding “professional photos”, at least she did a whole freaking interview to share. And who the hell cares if Min took the picture herself?, at least the picture looks decent. And what is ‘did you can your photographer?” If your gonna complain, do it right.
Anyways, Min seems like a cute girl. I know people are disappointed in her because of the whole party thing, but nowadays, especially in America, teens are introduced to those types of things much earlier than it used to be. I have doubts about her nonetheless, because of that accent she has. She should really worry about that, because no matter how much talent matters, she will be made fun of and will be an easy target if she doesn’t clean up her english. Goodluck girl.
Well, good luck.
lim33853… you don´t sound like a pro at all O_o. true, this picture of min is blurry and sorta dark. but this is a blog, this is not a newspaper or something like that.
thanks for the interview. min sounds like a sweet girl.
she sounds sweet…but sweet doesn’t make you succeed in the industry.
glad she knows she needs to work on the vocals. do your best…and good luck on the debut.
geeeez
does anybody here appreciate my humor
geeeez
People this a blog, not a professional Korean entertainment news site that some of you are delusional enough to think it is. It’s good enough that Popseoul was able to go and interview Min and G-soul cause we’re not getting any news about them anywhere else. Min seems like a sweet girl and i’m glad she sounds more articulate than before. But I guess she’s prepared for criticisms cause she herself doesn’t think she’ll be a good role model for young girls. She probably already knows that people are attacking her because of her sexy image for a girl at her age. She’s nothing like wondergirls or SNSD that’s for sure.
wow….can’t wait for it….i love her song go ahead…i believe in what she says…it doesn’t matter as long as you try…
once again…thanks popseoul!
LOL at lim33853’s comment. Do you write for Allkpop?
I can’t believe she’s giving up her education. That’s sad. When her career as a singer dies… she won’t have anything to back it up..
no lim does not write for allkpop, i know he/she is a commentor on there as well but i’ve never had any discussions about pornographic uploads to korean adult friend finder
btw.. lim, why do u keep mentioning me and kensai?
oh… oh…. i just saw min’s pic and i’m rather disgusted… F U MIN! You just made me lose my appetite, I was having a nice double filet-o-fish to!
johnny, whats up bro
no, i dont write for allkpop
kensai, is a writer there. he is like my mentor.
i call him master teacher… and kensai calls me grasshopper. he has taught me the 7 levels of posting crane style.
johnny, whats your beef with korean adultfinder? you too good for us now. korean adult finder is how i found alot of my friends. thats how i met my teacher, KENSAI.
master teacher, KENSAI, i wont disclose the hidden secrets of what section of korean aduldfinder we met at. i will keep our secret of wearing womens underwear our secret!
fighting!
Its pretty cool. Very easygoing, i guess
hey, my little puppy, taejus is loose from her leash
no pepe, taejus
ommigosh. please stop mentioning my name, its weirding me out… i get bad dreams at night.
-.-llll
That’s great. Letting a 16 year old girl drop out of school to make a stupid record. Like this COULD NOT wait 2 more years until she finished and graduated. Pathetic.
“I can’t believe she’s giving up her education.”
And she is a minor. Her parents are LETTING her drop out. That’s what’s truly pathetic. I guess that well-known emphasis on education that Koreans have doesn’t matter if there are dollar signs involved.
i wouldn’t say she drpped out much, but kinda put aside school for a while or something?? meh, i dont know, u could be right.
She’s still young and should focus on her education. Even big stars like Ha Ji Won manage to finish school and work at the same time. >.< Kids these days don’t seem to know the value of education.
(lim33853 being serious)
agree,strange she dropped out of school. maybe thats why she isnt more fluent in english. shes been here 4 years and she should be much better.
i believe associating with english speaking friends constantly all the time like during school, is much better way to learn english and grammer than taking actual english lessons.
i bet min doesnt even know what “downlow” means.
ooops
min did mention something about home schooling as an option, but i think there are no set plans for her at the moment…
as for the sel-ca, we purposely asked her to take her own picture to make it more interactive for our readers…
They should’ve gotten better producers…I mean…Lil John? Really? He’s not happening anymore. Lil John is sooo ‘05. Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins is where it’s at.
It’s over for them already…
popseoul
you know im a joker, but a serious question
do you think or do you have a good feel that min,gsoul.jlim or jyp reads this website. i think that would be cool to know
Nice job POPSEOUL, I liked this interview much more than the others.
Was it easier to talk and communicate with MIN compared to G-Soul?
-sLaVe
min presents a much better presentation of herself than JYP. and probably w. homeschooling/unschooling, she can graduate w/out a problem. That probably would work perfectly.
she seems pretty humble. i’ll be looking forward to her debut ^_^
i cant believe she dropped out of school!
shes only 16!
popseoul, when you said that she might consider homeschooling, i hope thats true!!
anyways, i hope the best for min.
i remember like a year or two ago, my friend showed me this video of this korean girl dancing. she was really good. turns out, it was MIN!
hahhahahah so yeaa a bit of a coincidence but im glad that she is creating an album, just upset that she quit going to school
Some of the comments people are making about dropping out of school….but there are options like home schooling. There have been much younger singers like BOA who only had elementary education and nobody looks down on her. Give Min a break.
^Actually, she went to high school and she has plans on going to college. It’s not clear though whether it’s soon or when she turns 25
-sLaVe
The fact that she’s not going to school isn’t a big deal. Though if I were her, let’s just say I wouldn’t put all my eggs in one basket. Boa doesn’t need an education because she’s already a multi-millionaire. There’s no reason to go back to school other than to have the ability to tell other people you did it. At her point in her career, it’s a moot point.
lim33853-wtf dude
I don’t even know who you are.
Even if she’s not going to school, I’m sure she’s doing home schooling/tutoring. Like all young stars do that these days.
I don’t think that she is quitting school, maybe putting it on hold. I think JYP has a pretty strict policy on his trainees getting proper education. If you look at it, I think only like one of the artists he had debuting in Korea didn’t finish school. All the rest either finished high school or even went on to complete a university degree.
Oh face it, people. She DROPPED OUT. There is no planning a record and a concert and choreographing dances and studying english and shopping and playing with your friends…plus home-schooling. PLEASE. Also, she hasn’t “put school to the side”. You don’t put high school to the side. You put college to the side. There’s no picking up high school where you left off at age 20 or 23. She is a drop-out. At age 16. She is officially UN-EDUCATED and it’s a crying shame that all the adults around her are not only allowing it, but encouraging and applauding it.
I can’t wait until her little career goals in America tank like the Titanic and she’s flipping burgers in Idaho in 2 years.
I would love to know when was the actual FULL YEAR of school she had since being in America before dropping out. She’s been in the States since age 12 and she can’t speak English. Or, at the very most, she is barely semi-fluent. Since El Gorilla himself is on public record as stating that she is learning, and taking English classes “8 hours a day”, this tells me she is not anywhere near being fluent. Even after 4 years in the States. This makes me seriously question whether she has been in school full-time at all during those 4 years. Children are quick studies and they learn fast especially when placed in an environment where they are immersed in the language, such as in an American school. So why can’t Min speak English? Was she barely in school at all in the past 4 years? Someone should get the authorities on her parents over this.
This child is being pimped out by her parents and El Gorilla. She didn’t just now start getting groomed for this career. This has been going on for what? At least a year? Two years? I bet she hadn’t been in school full-time since she was 13. In America this is illegal. This means her reading and comprehension skills (even in the Korean language) are halted at a 12 year old level, as well as her math skills, writing skills, social skills and God only knows what else.
This is child abuse.
Pathetic. [honest opinion]
It’s not that I’m not giving her a chance or anything along the lines of that. I respect the fact that she made this decision…but things like not finishing her education is just a one sided mind thing. Education is important. If you don’t have that…then when she wants to quit; she might not even have a back up career. [Bi Rain is an example; started his own business or something didnt he?]
Not only that; she’s only 16 or something? Face this.
Boa is a successful singer and has been trained for more years in SM Entertainment. Even though she is a singer, things aren’t working out that well. But education for her is easy. She’s like a multi millionare or something since she’s been in the music industry for so many years.
Wanting to do better is different from actually doing better. I hope she knows. I just hope she is ready for this.
But on the plus side i hope that she will succeed and her songs come out to be a success. ;]

“They should’ve gotten better producers…I mean…Lil John? Really? He’s not happening anymore. Lil John is sooo ‘05. Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins is where it’s at.
It’s over for them already…”
Timbaland produced Utada’s album and it was terrible. I don’t even think it sold 100,000 copies. I think it was in the 80,000 range…maybe. Timbaland was hot sh** then too, just like he’s always been.
You would be surprised at what/who lil jon has produced. He was making hits well before the crunk craze and he will be making hits afterwards as well.
It doesn’t really matter who they pick as a producer if the producer isn’t willing to take a risk and invest his/her hit songs in the artist(s). Until then they will just get leftovers that got cut from some american release.
this definately is quite troublesome
will gorilla do whatever it takes for him to succeed or look good? “stop going to school and take dance, vocal lessons instead or else ill pick another artist who will do whatever i say”???
i agree with dumpling that at that age she should be alot more advanced than where she is now. at that age they are a human sponge soaking up knowledge like a vacuum. does she actually have korean american or anybody who speaks english friends that she associates with? does gorilla completely manipulate,threaten,pressure these children to do whatever he wants?? it seems these 3 artists here in the states have no say to live their life.
there are quotes from gorilla that he states -artists have no say whatsoever except after the 3rd albulm. he stated recently talent wasnt most important. maybe he actually ment to say that what most important was that the student better do whatever he states or else.
question for you guys-
if you asked min if she wanted to go to school, what do you think she will say? most definately she would say yes. she would say it would be fun to meet both korean and american kids the same age. school would be great experience for her.
so i ask you. whoonly 1 is blocking a 12-16 year old from not going to school, which she is supposed to by law in the united states.
EL GORILLA
I think she answered the questions pretty well for a new comer/teenager. Interviews are hard.
Although, I don’t agree with her putting her job before school because she herself isn’t really sure about how her debut will go. But it’s pretty exciting to have another Asian trying to breaking in the USA market. I hope I’ll see her around.
I really like her, that’s all i got to say
lim33853 is hilarious XD
dont even know who you are but whatever haha
FINALLY!
THANKS TAZZ
you do know youre admitting your sicko now.
i like to make fun of little things i see in a weird way
ciao
OMG lim33853, you are too funny and your interview was better waay better. That was really boring but whatever. You guys are saying some pretty heavy things. I hope it isn’t true but if she ain’t going to school and if she isn’t homeschool this is illegaL. i really wish JYP would just go back to Korea because he knows nothing about America.
SOUNDS REHEARSED TO MEEE! i like min, but i do think she can be a bit fake sometimes. i think her interview wasn’t as good as g-soul’s. g-soul sounds pretty cool, but it does seem that min is a ball of energy. i thought the sel-ca picture was a good idea popseoul! =)
wow thanks for saying hi
i bet johnnydorama, kensai,and taejus now admit that we all met at the korean adultfriendfinder
ciao
if you look at her pictures on myspace.. she does attend school.

Might I interject and inquire about this alleged “better interview” by poster “lim33853″?
I’m really curious.
“An exellent post on a good blog, you can make some money with your blog, like me at http://blogmakemoney2.blogspot.com“
you asked for it.
warning. let me first state that i can watch the 3 stoogies over and over again and still laugh at the same jokes.
min’s exclusive interveiw
————————————
do you like america, and do you miss korea?
min: “i like party”
do you feel your young age hurts you with the american fans?
min: “i like party”
do you think america will like your type of dancing?
min: “i like party”
are you friends with any of the korean singers? are you close with any of the wonder girls?
min: “i like party”
do you have any thing to say to your family and friends at home in korea?
min: “i like party”
min,thank you for your time and comments. there you have it popseoul fans. we had to end the interveiw quickly because
“SHE LIKE PARTY” to go to!
What I really do not understand is why JYP pressing these kids (Min, G Soul, etc) to debut in the US first rather than in South Korea. Artists from different countries who have successfully crossed over to the US have made names for themselves first locally. This formula has been tried, tested and seemed to work for the artists and producers alike.
Why then JYP and his “talents” would differ from this? Is he trying to prove something in the expense of these poor kids? I hate to sound pessimistic but the inverted pyramid idea is unconventional to music producing and artist promotion standards. Unless to JYP’s eyes these kids are collateral damages in his intention to get back at Rain-to boost his ego that without him, Bi is nothing-then that is a different story. Yes it seemed unfair to Min and G-Soul, but it surely explains a lot.
I don’t claim to be an expert in the hustle and bustle of the music industry or the entertainment world in general but the way I see this, correct me if I’m wrong, is that JYP felt betrayed after building Rain’s career from the ground up. He invested a lot at Rain including the conquering the US market idea, then suddenly he left him behind. And now, he is using these kids to do his bidding in his disappointment, frustrations, an anger against Bi.
My concern is more about Min and G-Soul. They are being played like pawns on a chessboard. Without any assurance that they will be successful in the US music market, they are risking almost everything including Min’s education on this album. Unlike, other foreign artists who already have established fan base in their countries, Min and G-Soul have nothing to go back to.
If history is to judge, great battles have been won because of careful planning down to the small details-if plan “A” doesn’t work then we go to plan “B” and so on and so forth strategy-not lets all hope plan “A” works and if not, you’re on your own attitude.
I hope that JYP, Min, and G-Soul realize and think about the need for plan “B” in the event they are not well received in the US i.e established career in South Korea. Reality check, US influence is prevalent around the world, a bad review and poor album sale news will reverberate on four corners of the globe leaving people uninterested. A series of chain reaction will occur with uninterested people-they will not purchase, purchase translates money, money means marketability, and marketability equates more albums, success, and popularity. With popularity comes established fan base that can act as buffers in a chain reaction which, sad to say, Min and G-Soul are lacking right now…big time.
It is not unprecedented to think about fall back. Moreover, it is unwise not to cover all your bases. I hate to see one day, after all of these things are said and done, Min and G-Soul flipping burgers somewhere in the outskirts of Seoul.
wow, pootcha
thanks, that was deep and thoughtful
i have 1 thing to say
“will you marry me?”
I like this interview but there’s nothing really interesting about it.
Min and G-soul need to better there english skills so we can see their personalities. My friend went to JYP’s tiny debut thing earlier this winter and she said that Min was a lousy singer and everyone left when g-soul came on. Sad but hey, JYP need to put the marketing behind all the big talk he’s doing.
SIDE NOTE:
Dumpling…relax. It’s not that serious. Your intense rants and speculating are extremely unnecessary.
I’m still deferring judgment and sticking with the “let’s wait and see” approach.
She’s going to be the Asian Hannah Montanna! LOL XD
i still don’t understand why jyp feels it necessary to “break into” the us market, she’s a native korean girl y make her go to a foreign country where she doesn’t speak the language and force her to begin her career their. i can’t think of anyone who has started out that way.
i really don’t see what min and g-soul are gonna do for the american market…
there*
actually(i may be wrong in this), but since someone talked about rain having a business because he doesnt go to school anymore, i think he STILL attends school or has already graduated.. he is still in kyunghee and there have no news of him dropping out of the university kicking him out
to Illdielaughing, but that’s the reason why i read Dumpling’s comments
to jyp.. is homeschooling not an option?
hummm MIN MIN MIN….she seem alittle TOO MUCH for me, like yes sooo OUT THERE. i wouldn’t know the right word to place her at.
i don’t know about her album i mean DAMN SHE IS ALREADY going to prepare to release it. WOW. her & sohee should vocal train together, no she is alittle better then sohee..hummm
i don’t know whatever..i guess. i liked G-SOUL interview better
did she answer in english?
pootcha
Well he has to start somewhere and America is that place, I don’t think Korea is ready for a Min or a G-soul with all of the artists that are there now. So let’s wish JYP and his crew all of the success they deserve, if Americans can come to South Korea and make it why can’t South Korean artists do the same in America?
“i still don’t understand why jyp feels it necessary to “break into” the us market, she’s a native korean girl y make her go to a foreign country where she doesn’t speak the language and force her to begin her career their. i can’t think of anyone who has started out that way.”
“Breaking into” the US market is appealing for the same reason breaking into the japanese market is… money. And maybe an ego boost on the side lol. The US music industry is the largest in the world…it brings in about 13 billion. Japan is second at about 2 billion.
If you look at the stats, the Korean music industry isn’t exactly a cash cow and all the korean wave hype in the world can’t change that.
JYP’s idea of starting them out in the US might not be too bright, but taking risks like that is probably one of the things that got him where he is today.
Good luck is all I can say.
pootcha, i will never understand why ppl like you write a whole damn book on something like this. Why waste your time? Ppl aren’t going to read all that sh*t anyway. Jesus!!!
I wish her the the best of luck (though I have a feeling she isn’t going to get anywhere in the U.S. XD).
To DWilliams,
I do understand where you’re coming from and although you have raised a valid point, I would have to disagree with you based on the following premises:
First, American artists coming to South Korea have nothing to lose but everything to gain. They already have established fan base in the biggest market in the world and coming to a foreign country is just increasing it. Unfortunately, this cannot be said to South Korean artists or to any Asian artist in general when they come to the States.
Second, Hollywood’s influence to the entertainment industry throughout the world is prevalent and widespread. That, unfortunately, cannot be said to their Asian counterparts.
Third, the characterization of Asians in mainstream show business is still limited thus Asian artists must work twice as hard to get noticed and given roles atypical of Asian characters.
Finally, I know that they need to start somewhere. Believe me when I say that I couldn’t be more happy to see an Asian break the glass ceiling. But, my concern was what if.
The question of uncertainty and of what tomorrow will be bring is baffling to anyone even to the most intelligent person. My concern for Min and G-Soul was to address this uncertainty and at the same time questioning JYP’s intentions why not introduce his artists in South Korea first before debuting them here in the US. So when all things fail, Min and G-Soul still have something to call a career.
To Raye,
Frankly, I couldn’t care less if people don’t read my comments. The most important thing to me is not to past judgment without even considering opposing arguments.
Like many people, I do hope that I could have more time in hands so that I can accomplished more things. I don’t find posting comments here as a waste of that precious time since I can multitask. And please don’t worry, I can joggle two or three things at the same time without losing focus.
It occurs to me that you are not reading comments because lim33853 and dwilliams read the comment that I posted and even replied to it. And if you will look at my comments on different topics in this site, people do the same.
Lastly, thank you for posting your comment regarding my long narration about this article, you might have just created a spark for other people to read it.
http://www.myspace.com/samkang > any jyp artist.
lim33853’s “exclusive” interview was better..XDD
i don’t think she’ll make it…America is not all on dancing, singing is the key to make it, and she sure doesn’t have it[yet]…I hope her vocals become better and louder…I’m a bigger fan of G-Soul though i wish that wasn’t his name
pootcha, you make really insightful comments. Kudos to you.
lim33853’s parody was lame.
lol what´s wrong with some people in here?
anyways, i don´t really think it´s bad that she dropped out of school. she can try her luck now, maybe maybe make some good money. she can go to school later and live from the money she´s made before ^^
“I like min, but i do think she can be a bit fake sometimes.”
What do you expect from a child who has not been to school full-time for most of the past 4 years and has not had the chance to develop social skills, confidence, and the ability to express herself on an individual level? She has been led around by the nose for the past 2-3 years by that g-damn gorilla and she is already showing signs of stunted maturity due to her lack of development.
Sadness.
@ Illdielaughing
Piss off.
There. How’s that for an unnecessary and extreme rant? You can be assured I won’t be stopping anything unless the owner of this blog asked me to. Not because of you or anyone else.
She’s cute..
but i was kinda bothered with her lips. is she trying to pout…
relax those lips babe..
“pootcha, i will never understand why ppl like you write a whole damn book on something like this. Why waste your time? Ppl aren’t going to read all that sh*t anyway”
@ Rave
Shut up. I read pootcha’s comment, and so did a lot of other people.
Raye, Rave, whatever your name is.
ahmmnn.. she’s cute.. that’s all.
“I think my weakness is discipline. Sometimes my energy is too much and I can lose focus, so that’s something I have to work on.”
SHE SAID IT HERSELF!
i find it too disturbing!!
“I know people are disappointed in her because of the whole party thing, but nowadays, especially in America, teens are introduced to those types of things much earlier than it used to be.”
Yeah because little girls see that the world accepts the stars for it, so they do it too, Its disgusting, especially at such a young age. Period. The world jumps off a bridge, will you?
And I give a big “Hear Hear!” at Dumpling and Pootcha, couldnt agree more.
Her song sounds like Nivea’s “Okay” song, which was also produced by Lil’ Jon. And it’s so repetitive. Are there even verses? All I hear is a chorus on repeat.
“but i was kinda bothered with her lips. is she trying to pout… ”
It’s her hiphop “gangsta” look. ‘Cause you know, she’s a big hiphop star now and hangin’ with all the homies, G!

“but i was kinda bothered with her lips. is she trying to pout… ”

the girl seems cute and very nice (:
but i don’t know if she should quit school just for her singing career.
she really has a good producer (i mean look at JYP hes a freaking bajillionaire) and everything, but education should come first.
but good luck min!!~ 화이팅!!
um..how do i know you’re not making this whole “interview” up?
haha. I don’t!
aww i want her to ” make it”. but i dont think it’s gonna happen bc she has to build a big enough fan base to really make it here in the states. girl can dance and girl can somewhat sing, but for her to make it she’s gotta smash it in all areas, and i think she’s just a cute girl who can dance.
If it wasn’t official before, it is now… she’s nothing but a project.
There is no excuse that she shouldn’t be getting home schooled/tutored. She’s not the first teenager in the music industry who’s busy. I’m sure Miley Cyrus still gets an education. Cut the crap. She’s not that busy. They should have let her be a child and enrolled her into American schools/or allowed her to take English lesson and be tutored. It’s doesn’t take more then a year to understand conversational language. Enough to get by. She doesn’t need to train from dusk to dawn to be a success. And from the sound of things all that training didn’t do much. She can dance her little butt off, that’s a given though.
This is my problem with Asia hosted record companies/producers [be it Japan, Taiwan, Korea, etc]. They have the mindset of Lou Pearlman. Train these kids like robots, control every aspect of their lives and not care anything about their social/mental development outside of when these developments pertain to income. And we wonder why child stars are so fu*ked up. Especially boy band members. The reason why the Boy Band/Teen Pop Princess trend died around for the most part was because people started to ask questions and take notice of the busy lives of this teenage artist and they didn’t like the shady controlling sh*t they learned.
I cherish the day when if Min gets famous and she starts telling the story of how she train vigirously as a teen. And then they start investigate how much money JYP is actually taken in from her. SCANDALOUS.
JYP just reeks of Lou Pearlman shadiness and that’s why he just makes my skin crawl. These kids always look like their in the presence of a dictator when he’s in the room. It just seems so obvious to me how he works.
But hey, who the hell am I? Nobody but a smart a** know-it-all.
“(i mean look at JYP hes a freaking bajillionaire)”
LOL WUT? The only way JYP will EVER be a billionaire is if he strikes oil in his back yard. I’ll give him some slack and says he’s a single digit millionaire at best.
can someone tell me where in new york she is at… like
what boruoght in new york (if its manhaatten then can you tell what sudio
Oh… now I remember her… Lee Min Young?
It’s disturbing to see her dancing like a harlot back when she was only 11…
