Former uni-brow YG trainee, May Doni is finally debuting after seven years of training. May Doni was one of the participants JYP version of American Idol called JYP’s Talent Development Project, 99% in 2001, along with Wondergirl’s Sun Ye and Joo. She signed on with YG after the show and was coined as the “female Se7en” but she switched management last fall, expediting her debut.
May Doni’s project album titled “PDIS” was produced by Cho PD and Yoon Ill-Sang and is available at all major Korean music sites starting today.
Check out her clips from her trainee days.
first
she’s got a lovely voice.
hope she does well!
woa
Wow…finally she came out.
her voice is great.
…too bad i hate her makeover!
what a trashy image.
great voice. but sheesh. must they turn all artists into cheap bimbos? can’t they spare the good ones?
she certainly has a nice voice ^^
Ok…that compliment came out really backward XD.
But somehow the fact that that big voice is coming out of such a small girl weirds me out… It’s a bit like watching Clay Aiken singing when he sported the malnourished nerd look. It’s just shocking to hear such a strong voice coming out of poeple who just don’t look like they have the physical capacity to sing so LOUDLY X_X Except it’s worse here cause the girl looks about 8 yrs old
omgosh what happened to her…. i love her as the yg trainee, this image doesnt really work for her, but im glad shes finally debuting
amazing voice dudes
so whose company is she in now? some yahoo entertainment?
yeah but then again, YG doesn’t know how to promote females because they only specialize in ghetto boys.
wow . great voice .
dang…don’t like her look at all…prefer someone like JoA
tony , where r u from ?
Uhm…Popseoul, you got it all wrong. May Doni did NOT come out with a project album. However, she did feature on Jo PD and Yoon Il Sang’s “PDIS” project album.
You’re welcome.
Finally! She’s got a great voice, I’m rooting for her debut. Her new look surprised me a bit but whatevs.
nice voice also she really changed
don’t like her with that much makeup she’s cute as is.
hope she be one of the best female artist!
i just listened to her tracks on Jo Pd’s and Yoon Il Sang’s project album and her voice still amazes me. the tracks are all right. even now, it’s sometimes hard to believe how young she is whenever i hear her sing.
She should fire her stylist….
wow, her voice is amazing. her english is good too. but on some of the words, she was kind iffy. I THINK SHE ShOULD DEBUT IN THE US INSTEAD OF the other GIRL. she’s pretty but her style doesn’t go w/ her. i think she should go for the jennifer aniston look, her appearance right now is similar to the sexy hyori type. she doesn’t need that b/c she has an AWEESSSOME VOICE!
era, why?
@tony
i ment ur nationality .
she’s got a very good voice at that young age in the video. she’s older now so she must be great.
y does most of de korean female singers debut wit a sexy image aka de ’slut’ look?
if they hv great voice,they shldn’t debut wit a sexy image…
it only makes me despices them even if they hv great voices..
even teenage gurls come out wit sexy image eventhough they r not fully mature yet…makes me think dat they look more like prostitudes than real singers…
(pardon my language…)
btw,how old is she?
good voice…
but what is with her makeover? her face looks too young to be sporty the “sexy” image. kind of disturbing. sell out.
her songs in PDIS suck!
She’s really cute and I love her hair, but her clothes are a bit too much of everything… YG does suck at promoting female artists, but at least they won’t make her wear those type of clothes (I hope) and just showcase her AMAZING voice… oh well, good luck May Doni!
love the voice but hate the image…she should of stuck with YG, at least they know how to dress their artists!! that’s why I loved her as a trainee their…they don’t dress their artists in trash….she’s too young for that look…if she was here is america with that look, people will think she’s a hooker…
ps…even though YG doesn’t promote women well…at least they know how to dress their artists in decent close…plus they don’t pick their artists buy looks…all the more reason why I love YG

sorry I posted the same thing twice xD I didn’t know my sidekick can do that
whoa. i hope she’s not gonna debut with THAT kind of style. sorry.
she has an amazing voice and i’ve been waiting for her to debut, but oh gosh, please don’t let that be her style. it makes her look so old.
Mein Gott, she dresses like Santa’s slutty elf!
Seriously, do people in Korea dress slutty because it’s required to break in the business, or they just have awful taste in fashion? First that oh-my-gawd-so-slutty-my-eyes! Jewelry, now this???!
woah… look at that outfit. >.< this is really freaky, but as i just looked “may doni” up, this article was posted on popseoul. lol.
Why does Korean female singers dress like a two-dollar hooker??!! No doubt she has a good voice but damn!
Sorry, why “DO”… gosh, my powderful ENGLAND!
she’s GOOD!
but her image killed it.
oh lord k-pop stylists disgust me.
she has so much potential, yet the image TOTALLY killed it.
awww, the little girl in the vid is too cute. But her unibrow… (aughhhh??!!??!) makes her look even cuter!
I liked her better in YG, and I’ve never really liked her a lot to begin with. :/
Sure, YG isn’t the greatest at promoting his female artists [aaand there may be a reason for that. ...] but at least he values their talent. He doesn’t try and whore them up any chance he gets.
Plus, isn’t the sexy-bordering-on-trashy image getting old yet? T.T;; WTF, Korea??
I couldn’t even recognize her in that first picture. The girl’s got talent. Can’t wait for her debut. Just hope she doesn’t go for the sexy, slutty image yet. Considering she’s still young.
OMFG!
SHE’S DAMN HOT!!! i’ll do her
xx
I must admit she has quite a nice voice, but what the hell did they do to the cute little girl with thick brows in the video??? She looks SO friggin’ different!!! O_o
That is a lot of hair on her head. With all of that hairspray, girl better avoid open flames or else ‘pooof’.
Hey now that I’m srsly looking at her she reminds me of sohee or the other way around but she’s prettier can’t wait for her debut didn’t know she was in jyp too
ok seriously. LOVE HER VOCIE, hate her image FORRREALL looks like another MIN JYP to me..by the way they are great friends…BUT i really do support her voice just now what her image is trying to say…
you would have to think AFTER 7 YEARS of training…they would have trained her better in STYLE…eww
Popseoul need a fact checker!
You purposely pick that second pic…
finally… can’t wait to hear what she’s got to offer.
oh she’s good!! finally there’s a singer that can actually sing!
looks trashy
She made the best decision for her. I’m glad she took that step and did what she had to do.
era, obviously. wny do u wanna know?
jyp knows how to take anything and make it look like a 2 dollar hooker… can’t these ppl hire stylists?
wouldn’t call it slutty more like bad-ass. i hope her vocals back up this look.
Very nice singing. Style…not so much >.>
great voice… and her english is pretty good too..
THANK GOD.
That was a long time. Don’t judge her by the picture, WATCH her singing. Of course her voice backs up her looks, and she wasnt all that pretty to begin with. She’s a bit chubby, but her talent will win over everything in the end.
Her low notes suck really bad, half the time can’t tell what she’s singing, only have clarity in the chorus, in this song. I hope she’s improved that part. She sings just about as good as the contestants on American Idol.
She looks alot like Kwak Ji Min in that first picture.
at first before i saw the picture of her, i read the title and thought you were making fun of Madonna. xD
I seriously hate that they posted the ugliest photo out of all the promo shots for her. It was for the music video, all the guys were puffy jackets and stuff.
I’m loving the tracks on the PDIS cd though *_*. Can’t wait for more stuff with her to come out.
she has a great voice
but why do i think she’ll be like another slut star..?!?
anyone agree??
ok I love her voice but
WHAT THE HELL happened to her “makeover”
like who ever cae up with her image just ruined it
i totally agree with you keke
shes gunna be another slut
omg i’ve been waiting for her debut for 2 years already!!
but they could work on her look..
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HER?!
wow she’s really good at singing. but what’s with her new image…i hope they dont turn her into another one of those female singers who sell sex not their voice
dude the girl is super super super talented but it sucks how they want to mold her into celebs like boa and hyori (don’t mean to take anything away from those two and their fans but there’s way too much skin exposure). and the girl is only, whay, like 16 years old and she looks like she’s 20 something…geez. but i love her voice none the less..^_^
Omo!! I remember watching this video on Youtube a couple years back. Congrats to her ^^ cool stage name too
ohmygosh what happened to her?! I’m so happy that she’s finally debuting, but really what’s with the makeover?! It looks like her hair is alive! Hahaahaa! I remember watching her videos during her yg training days. I wish she waited it out with yg. I think they wouldve debuted her better despite yg’s reputation for not handling female artists well. I think she would do better with yg, but I do hope she does well now that she’s finally out.
Girl’s got pipes. Why do they call her the female Se7en? Because she can sing? Anyway, the outfit is yuck. Sometimes people sacrifice looking good just to have whatever the absolute latest, hottest, newest item in the fashion world is, even if it is ,well, YuCK!
I’m glad she left YG. That’s what they get for waiting forever to debut her.
Her voice is good but boy she looks ugly in that pic!
“uper talented but it sucks how they want to mold her into celebs like boa and hyori (”
Yep!
I don’t like her … dunno why =\
redo her image, it won’t help her career.
:(
her voice should carry her, not her orange hair and slash outfits.
she definitely has a good voice, bad makeover.
at least she has some talent. wow a new korean artist with a talent?!!?!? no way! anyway, it looks like she had a surgery on her chin. her face shape around it looks way too narrow compared to the video.
WHOA. major transformation!!
she looks good too!
and her voice absolutely amazes me.
a yound girl like her with a mature voice
Whoa she looks different from her training days. I agree w/ Hanbelle’s comment.
obviously “PDIS” is PD and ilsang… how self-centered… she looks so young, how old is she…
ahh i saw this on youtube wow i did not know she was a trainee.. omo shes good
haha everyone’s comments are soo hilarious to read!
“santa’s slut!” AHAHAA C:
i am really looking forward to her debut
she has an amazing voice.
but..why lord..why the this fugly image?
everything she is wearing is a SCREWUP
her hair..looks like a huge fake wig
actually American Idol started in 2002. JYP started in 2001, so you can’t make assumptions like that. tsk, tsk Popseoul.
Nice voice but bad, cheap-looking image. She looks like a poor carbon copy of the other fake kpop entertainers.
Okay.. it looks like she’s wearing a wig..
I LOVE HER VOICEEEEEE!!!
OMG
she looks better back on the trainee days.
her voice is nice also.
whoaaaa
she hass a reallyyy nice voice!
Nice voice, absolutely hideous outfit. Theres something about it matched with that “What’d you say bit*h?” upper lip. She looks like all attitude, and not in a good way.
No! She looks like everyone else now!
Finally she came out :}
I love her voice but just wondering if her sister, Yenny will be able to debut too. Did Yenny leave YG too?
All I can say about her image is “eurgh” & it seems like may doni isn’t enjoying it either
wow fibally good to see her. But damn did they have to make her look like a drag queen?
the hair looks a bit funny on her.
but damn…i’m sad she left YG. but i’m glad to hear that her album is out. i’m so going to buy it now.
OMG! i remember watching her like…2 years ago!!! she’s soooooo good!!!
-shiNe-neE-
i think it was not smart of her to switch companies so fast just so she can debut and make some quick money when obviously it was not the right time for her debut. i think YG would’ve known what they were doing but at the same time i can understand why she would do this since there are SO many people in front of may waiting to be debuted like park bom!!! (stlil waiting for her!!!!!!!!!!) anywyays i just dont think it’s the right time for her to debut now…with JOO already solo young female and strong girls groups like wondergirls and snsd
HAHAHHA
she definitely has talent and a great strong voice
but looking at her trainee video
shes so cute. all i could see are her chubby cheeks and fat eyebrows and big mouth. no offense.
cute image into not really trashy. but def. not cute
eww…camel toe?
i like her voice.
she can sing.
Cho PD featuring May Doni: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VjBJT5Maiqc
oh my god. she was so cute and promising in the youtube video.
now she just looks like a little mogwai…
great voice…s0rta good accent…but i d0n’t like her clothing style in the picture..it looks like, uhm…looks like????? hahaha!
so she started training since she was 9?? O.o
Wooow, what did they do to her?
She looks like some *raped-child*
on that picture…
Or maybe more like a sl*t.
But I guess her voice won’t disapair because of that…I thinks…but seriously, she shouldn’t try to *play* to much….
such a good voice.
such a terrible stylist.
i think if she stuck with her natural image, it’d be better than THIS. the hard eyeliner and orange hair is so distracting all i’m thinkin is ” what the heck is this” not ” great voice!”
yea the whole world is headin this way, but to see the way korea markets sex is sad. let her grow into her own, dont shove this nasty image onto her from the get go!
I think you got something wrong there Popseoul. The PDIS album is Cho PD and Yoon Ill sang’s project album. May Doni is only featured in one song on the the album. Not including the remix of that song. Her debut is supposed to come out later this year I think o.O.
DAMN, SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY…I THINK SHE MAYBE THE FIRST SOLO SINGER I”LL LIKE
She so…small. She’s like a little girl. Haha. But I can’t wait for her to debut.
But yeah, I agree, she needs a new stylist. ‘Cause that picture is yuck.
agree with everyone
great voice
needs a new stylist
she has a wonderful voice but i agree why do they turn into bimbos when they debut…
definitely new stylist
though she is pretty and i saw the vid where she’s dancing to se7en’s passion and thought she’s awesome….
she has potential…but i hope they don’t heavily promote her image rather than her voice…
Is this Park Bom?!?
this style does not work for her.
I’m not a fan of this look but whatever fits the music. They aren’t going for a slutty look, or else she’d be showing more skin. They’re going for “urban”, chains, fur, pleather, etc. She reminds me a little of a Bratz doll.
If she were singing ballads like Lee Soo Young the look wouldn’t work, but if she’s trying to sing R&Bish pop like Seven and the like, the look fits.
It boils down to whether you believe the image. Same with any artist, especially JYP and L’il John’s protege.
