i don't see too many topics of her around any forums so i thought i'd try here. for those of you who don't already know, she's a (now) 16 year-old korean girl who is supposed to debut her musical career here in the U.S. very soon under JYP entertainment and Lil Jon. does anyone else have any more info on her? one of her songs "go ahead" is out on youtube and it's pretty catchy, but not all too amazing. still, i think it's pretty good for someone who's not only that young, but doesn't even speak english as her first language.
her song "go ahead" on youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-O6nMXQwqF8 her myspace: http://myspace.com/minjype some other youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6nJ03c4qiA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8Xm13yt0-U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI8HxlV_phs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrWbPLgCY0o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dCMa3KnYwc QUOTE Korean, American Musicians Promote 15-Year-Old Korean Newcomer's Debut in U.S. Music Scene
JYP Entertainment Group recently announced that Park Jin-young, the head of JYP USA, and the American famous hip-hop producer Lil Jon, discovered a Korean teenage newcomer to produce and market a record in the United States. The Korean teenager ‘Min’, whose full name is Lee Min-young and was born in Korea, boldly dedicated herself to breaking through the U.S. music market. When Min was a teenager in 2001, JYP heard about her musical and dancing talents, she was selected by the company for two years of training. She won an award in a December 2003 competition shown on a Korean television station with Korean singer ‘Rain’ and shared the stage with him, which gave her the opportunity to showcase her talents. After her success in Korea, Min went to Los Angeles and New York for two years of voice, dance, language and other kinds of training and participated in a televised ‘dance battle.’ She is currently in New York, working with Park to record and produce her debut single which she plans in the first half of next year. A JYP official said, “Major record studios and producers decide to collaborate. They decided that Lil Jon’s style is compatible with Min’s in terms of goals and style. That’s why they decided to work together.” “Korean singers have lately been looking at the U.S. market as a challenge to boost their musical careers for those who haven’t made their debuts in Korea as teenagers and view that as an opportunity to break into the American music market,” the official added. Park said, “For the past three years, I was the first Asian composer to participate in the production of such albums of major American pop start such as Mase, Will Smith and Cassie. Therefore, I believe that I am increasingly establishing my credibility as a music producer.” He added, “Based on that foundation, I am confident that Min and other JYP singers’ entry into the U.S. market would be much more solid.” On Dec. 23, Min, Park and Lil Jon will be giving a press conference and attend ‘Rain’s’ concert later that evening. In 2004, Park and Lil Jon became close through their work with the hip-hop duo Outkast. After Lil Jon saw a demonstration tape of Min, he suggested to Park that the two collaborate together on producing a single. By Peter Kim |

Yeah. The song is pretty catchy but i don't know.. Its not really THAATT good, imo. Her voice sounds too young for this type of song. I hope she can make something better, soon.

she's okay. but imo, the song seems really mature for a 16-year-old to sing. she's a great dancer, though.

QUOTE(정유미 @ Sep 8 2007, 10:37 PM)  she's okay. but imo, the song seems really mature for a 16-year-old to sing. she's a great dancer, though. no it doesnt...shes singing about a guy who wants to ask her out or somethin like that. thats not mature for a 16 year old at all. the song is pretty good. lil jon makes hits and jyp is a good producer thats a good team..in my opinion. and i agree with mzz_booo about her workin on her high notes. good luck to her though! |

The song sounds like some boring song with an overused beat/rhythm. Something that would be put on High School Musical 3 Soundtrack or something. *cough*
Her voice is good, but the song is just plain wrong for her. -------------------- |

can't wait 'til she debuts!
 (when is it exactly?  )i hope she makes it BIG 'cuz she worked hard and her dancing skillz are waaaaaay better than some stars out there.  plus, she mite open the american culture to asian music  (tho not every1 mite accept it  )heard her song. it's ok but kind of repetitive and pop-ish. i hope she sings a more powerful song that mite show off her dancing skills 'cuz this song sounds pop-ish and light, so i doubt there's a lot of hardcore dancing.
