[oooJessicaooo]

yay a jype thread! it�s about time!!! i can�t for JYP�s comeback kekekeke. oh and someone should post up picture�s of the new boyband. they�re so hot!

[★dreamcatcher★]

i love Jinyoung! he�s so talented. i can�t wait for his comeback. i heard he already recorded 30 tracks for his new album. i wonder what the songs will be like.

[flyaway.]

Actually, there was one before, but it was closed because JYP Entertainment never had albums together featuring all artists unlike SM (Winter and Summer albums) & YG.

[cookieremix]

omg finally a jypentertainment thread <33

i'm looking forward to jyp's latest project, with the 12 members ^^

[oooJessicaooo]

yeah but this time it should be ok, because JYP as an artist did release a few albums. jype entertainment belongs to jinyoung, so we should be allowed to talk about his trainees. if we can talk about his songs, his movies, pictures and his cfs, then why can�t we talk about his trainees as well? i mean in a way they�re his "works" too kekeke

^ the part about his trainees as his "works" LOL

Finally a thread to include all of JYP Entertainment!!!!
I'm sooo looking forward to JYP's comeback ...checked out the teaser for his new mv on his myspace - looks good

[edward1849]

Please make sure that this thread is for the discussion of JYP himself and also the singers and trainees under him who doesn't have an official thread. For JYP singers having an official thread (Wonder Girls, Lim Jeong Hee, Byul, etc.) the discussions should go into their own respective threads. Memebrs who failed to comply with this rule will receive a warning.

[I.said.hi]

i know this isn't really that important, but at the bottom where you listed the artists, and former roster, Park Ji yoon, you got your info wrong. There are numerous Park ji yoons, there is a singer, and there is an mc.

The part where you wrote that park ji yoon is with KBS is wrong, thats park ji yoon the announcer, and there is a different park ji yoon singer.

[minjee16]

what happened to min? wasn't min supposed to debut or release a single/album in the us on the same day as snsd's comeback (nov.1)? i really curious to see if she will gain popularity.

i am really glad there is jype thread! =)

[chiyo]

^
yeah, i almost forgot she was already supposed to debut a week ago.

oooJessicaooo: lol at the trainees are his "works"

edward1849: thanks a lot!

I.said.hi: thanks for the info. i deleted the part with kbs. do you know which company she is under now?

edit: there�s no news of min�s debut on her myspace. i guess it got postponed. she has new pictures though.

way too much photoshop, but pretty.

[cookieremix]

uhmm. i'm not sure if min already released her album
i saw a lot of pictures of her
on some of the other jyp trainee's cyworlds

but i'm not really sure yet xP

[J.lee]

Former Roster
* Rain (비): actor/singer/model

Left in mid-2007 to start Rainy Entertainment.

It's not rainy ent. it's another company "J.Tune entertainment." former Satec company
Rainy is Rain's Dad company not Jihoon.

Also,at JYPE CEO is different not PJY as what i remember,but yeah he does the producing.

I remember when he said that when he composed a song for Will smith and Mase,JYPE didn't acknowledge it and he didn't recieve any cent for a year,and it was really hard for him.

[oooJessicaooo]

Min looks different in the photos. she doesn�t look like this in real life.

IT�S HOTTIE TIME!!!

"Wonderboys" ahem 12 member boygroup showcase. the reporter is talking all the time, so you can�t really hear their singing. their dancing is sexy and khun and the keyboard is just <3 <3 <3

thank youuuu =). i corrected the part about Rain�s new company. but are you sure JYP is not the Ceo of JYPE? because he�s listed as the CEO like everywhere. but i remember him saying that he might give up on being a CEO soon and concentrate only on producing when Rain left.

JYP is the CEO...he just wanted more time to produce and work on music and less on day to day business.

[szai]

i wonder what's the latest with min in the US... any news guys?? because if she have indeed debuted already last Nov.1 she should at least be in the entertainment/music news, or on MTV right??? wonder what had happened... hey! how about the radio feedbacks???

[pp226]

yeah...finally a JYP thread ^^
their trainees are hot, khun and junsu, haha
i am wondering whether JYP USA has a website or not
the update news are usually got from myspace......

there are a lot of female trainees in JYP
i think Joo is still in JYP, right?

[vana117724]

I am not sure I am right on this...But JYP is having his comeback next week right??

I can't wait...he's so talented and young. NO wonder all the stars thathe produces make it big..
I have to give props to him. his music is AWESOME. (in lack of a better word)

[cookieremix]

i remember something about an audition being held
and the advertisement for it
but i didn't see any result...has he not picked one, yet?
