JYP Entertainment Is Returning To Its Former Glory, But Don't Call It A Comeback

JYP Entertainment is ready to make a strong comeback.

JYP Entertainment is ready to make a strong comeback.

October was a great month for Park Jin Young, most popularly known as JYP. The CEO of JYP Entertainment, who celebrated eighteen years in the music industry back in May 2013, announced early in October that he was getting married. This marriage, to someone who was not tied to the Korean entertainment industry, came as a to a shock to fans and industry insiders. However, married life has appeared be a great thing for Park Jin Young who is set to make a solo comeback and to lead JYP Entertainment back to its rightful place as one of the big three K-Pop agencies.

2012 was not a good year at JYP Entertainment. The year marked the start of whispers within the K-Pop community that JYP Entertainment was failing as an agency, when compared to the success of YG and SM Entertainment. While 2012 led to the full debut of the widely successful group EXO and sold out world tour performances for YG Entertainment's Big Bang and 2NE1, JYP Entertainment failed to show the same accomplishments. By contrast, 2012 was year in which popular male group 2PM did not have a major release. The sequel to the well-received JYP backed drama, Dream High 2, was met with low ratings and criticized for having poorly constructed plot lines. While Dream High served to set industry standards for artist marketing, its sequel completely detracted from these artists.

Other than his participation as a judge in the high profile audition program, Kpop Star, there was very little buzz surrounding Park Jin Young and and JYP Entertainment. Further substantiating claims that JYP Entertainment was falling from grace was the announcement that the agency would be closing its New York City office and halting attempts to enter the U.S. market, which was one of the key goals for Wonder Girls. At the end of 2012, Wonder Girls announced that they would be taking a hiatus from the industry, primarily due to the fact that member Sunmi was going to marry her longtime boyfriend. Unfortunately, this announcement appeared to serve as the death knell for JYP Entertainment.

Although, 2PM made a very solid comeback earlier in 2013, there was still little activity seen from the agency as a whole, throughout the year. At the completion of Kpop Star 3, it was widely speculated that the winning duo Akdong Musician would choose JYP Entertainment to represent their future careers as K-Pop artists. However, the brother and sister songwriters went to YG Entertainment. This served as yet another blow to the agency, which definitely needed the buzz which surrounded Akdong Musician.

Perhaps, in K-drama fashion JYP was preoccupied with wooing the woman who would become his wife. Following his marriage in October, JYP announced that he would be performing a Christmas Eve show as part of his 2013 J.Y. Park Bad Party (The Half Time Show) Tour. In addition he reaffirmed both his athletic prowess and performance ability on variety show Cool Kiz On The Block.

Beyond his solo comeback proclamations, Park Jin Young announced that he would soon be releasing a new male group, alluding that the seemingly abandoned JJ Project would be included in the group. Additionally, October marked the release of comeback teasers for girl group Miss A. Finally, October ended with the news that JYP had met with Google executive, Eric Schmidt, which could lead to revolutionary measures in how Korean entertainment reaches a worldwide market. After what seemed like a lengthy break from K-Pop, Park Jin Young and JYP Entertainment are finally back.

YG and JYP’s New Boy Groups to Chase After EXO?

YG's new boy group "Winner" is scheduled for a December debut, and JYP is preparing to debut post-2PM.

The battle between the "Big 3" in the music world is being rekindled. While SM Entertainment's hit male group EXO is preparing for a November comeback, both YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment are looking to debut boy bands as well. It's as if the latter 2 agencies are looking to compete with the undeniable popularity of EXO.

YG Entertainment's newest boy group "Winner" was chosen by viewers through a 10-episode survival audition group called "Who Is Next: WIN." 11 YG trainees were split into Team A and Team B, and battled it out over 10 episodes. On the 25th, viewers voted for the 5-member Team A or 6-member Team B, and the winner was announced on the live show. They're looking to debut as early as December this year. WINNER will be the first boy group to debut from YG Entertainment since Big Bang. WINNER includes Mnet's past "Superstar K" participant Kang Seung Yoon.

It's been revealed that these singers with striking good looks were chosen through JYP's global auditions. Their current album preparations are in full swing, but their team name has yet to be determined.

YG and JYP will both be debuting new groups post-Big Bang and post-2PM, respectively, and there's much anticipation as to whether these 2 groups will be able to compete with EXO. Will they be able to stand up against EXO, who's made record sales this year and boasts a massive fandom? We can only wait and see to find out.

The Sex Factor: Trouble Maker Turns Up The Heat To Join K-Pop's Sexiest Comebacks Of 2013

Hyunseung and HyunA definitely have chemistry.

Hyunseung and HyunA definitely have chemistry.

With HyunA sporting morning after looks in the newest teaser photos and hints of sexy new choreography, Cube Entertainment's naughty duo is set to return to the K-Pop scene. In an industry filled with pastel tinted video treatments and performers who can turn on their full aegyo at the drop of a hat, it is refreshing to see artists who dare to sex things up. In contrast to the American pop industry, where artists like Miley Cyrus have to be fully naked as in her video for "Wrecking Ball" to actually create controversy, K-Pop artists can display skinship for the same level of shock value. In 2013, some of the sexiest comeback videos ranged from a girl group who took to pole dancing to illustrate the raw energy of "First Love" to a male star who wanted to remind his fans that he is more than just a comedic addition to "SNL Korea".

Jay Park is so inviting in his video for

Jay Park is so inviting in his video for "Welcome".

In April 2013, Jay Park released a 19 plus video which coincided with his birthday for the song "Welcome". Shedding the comedic innocence of his "SNL Korea" characters, Jay Park firmly established that he wanted to maintain his status as a sex symbol. The video maintains the artistry of 1990s hip-hop, with the suggestive invitation that Jay Park is welcoming audiences to his bed.

2PM used

2PM used "A.D.T.O.Y" to show they were grown and sexy.

JYP Entertainment's 2PM made a strong comeback in May 2013 with "A.D.T.O.Y" from the appropriately named "Grown". Although, "Come Back When You Hear This Song" was the leading single from "Grown", audiences were drawn to the sensuality of the "A.D.T.O.Y" video. The transition towards a more mature portrayal of 2PM was a wise one, considering the fact that members Chansung and Taecyeon had been heavily engaged in promotions for television projects during the time of the album release.

Is After School pole Dancing or teaching pole fitness?

After School turned to pole dancing for their music video "First Love" and received accolades for their mastery of an art relegated to adult entertainers and fitness instructors. The girl group is notorious for fully committing to learning new styles of dance and musicality, as witnessed previously with their choreography and promotions for "Bang". "First Love" has a slow tempo, which definitely helps to set the right mood.

Seungri goes from maknae to panty dropper.

BigBang's Seungri released a shocking 19 plus teaser for "Let's Talk About Love" comeback, in August 2013. The teaser featured high art images and video clips that seemed much more consistent with a G-Dragon release. Netizens immediately reacted to the teaser, especially to a scene that literally features panty dropping. YG Entertainment quickly clarified that neither Seungri or any of its other artists were actually depicted in the racy video, just their likeness.

How hot will HyunA and Hyunseung's Trouble Maker comeback be? If the dance teaser for "Now" is any indication, audiences can expect Hyunseung to literally be more hands on than he was for 2012's "Trouble Maker" choreography. With the news that the duo will also be releasing a 19 plus album following the initial market release for their comeback, HyunA and Hyunseung are most certainly poised have the sexiest comeback of 2013.

Craziest K-pop Transformations: Male Edition

I came upon Taeyang's spread in "ELLE Korea" magazine and I was shocked to say the least. When did he get all G-Dragon and avant garde on us? And why weren't we warned before it happened? This is what Taeyang used to look like:

This is his new transformation as he's gearing back for his solo comeback. Can we get a "whoa" up in here? Taeyang's album drops on November 1.

Let's tackle Taeyang's BFF and fellow member G-Dragon who debuted with the group looking wholesome and ghetto fabulous in this all white get-up rocking a handkerchief on his neck.

Here's a screenshot of one of his recent looks from a music video off of his solo album:

When Jay Park first debuted with JYPE, they had him tattoo-less, had him shave "2PM" in his head, and gave him clothes that looked like it was from a .99 cent store down the street.

He went solo and now he looks like this:

This may have more to do with weight loss, but you know I had to drag him on here. Look at Kangin when he was eating too much bbang (bread) and look at him now!

When 2AM's Changmin first debuted he was just a chubby kid who lost weight. He had no unique look or body.

But then he decided he wanted to become a machine of hotness. So he worked out and ate right and this was the result:

Team B Suffers A Crippling Loss To Team A In YG's WIN: What will this mean for the YG trainees?

Spoiler Alert: Team B lost to Team A.

Spoiler Alert: Team B lost to Team A.

YG Entertainment's reality show "WIN", whose goal was to launch its next boy band from trainee status to stardom, came to an end with Team B losing to Team A. While Team A went into the competition with the advantage of leader Kang Seung Yoon successfully debuting prior to "WIN", Team B was reliant solely on the competition to launch themselves out of obscurity. In an industry where trainees can fade into the shadows without fully debuting, what will become of the guys from Team B?

On October 25th, prior to the competition finale, YG Entertainment CEO, Yang Hyun Suk, announced that he would uphold his original promise to delay the debut of the team or completely dissolve the group. Yang Hyun Suk then clarified that there was a possibility that the losing team would remain as trainees at YG Entertainment, however, the group may not maintain the current lineup and those who are the weakest links may be released. These proclamations wounded the hearts of both fans and netizens who speculated that YG would use both Team A and Team B from "WIN" as an opportunity to create a mega group similar to SM Entertainment's Super Junior or EXO.

Like Us on Facebook :

Those familiar with YG Entertainment will recognize the similarities between"WIN" and the show that was created to launch what is now one of the most renown K-Pop groups, BigBang. During "BigBang's Documentary" series, Seungri, whose recent solo release "Let's Talk About Love" dominated the Korean real time charts, was initially cut from the original lineup. CEO Yang Hyun Suk saved Seungri from elimination, using Seungri to replace Jang Hyunseung whom Yang Hyun Suk believed was not as prepared to become part of the group.

If the name Jang Hyunseung sounds incredibly familiar, it is because Hyunseung went on to become a member of Cube Entertainment's BEAST. In addition to BEAST, Hyunseung has received accolades as one half of the duo Trouble Maker, in which he exudes utter sexiness with label mate HyunA. Although, Hyunseung suffered a loss when cut from BigBang, he has proven that he is well suited on the Cube Entertainment label.

In a manner similar to his praise for Team A leader Kang Seung Yoon, Yang Hyun Suk delivered great praise to Team B leader Kim Han Bin who is popularly known as B.I. B.I. is a triple threat with potential similar to G-Dragon, in that he is a rapper, dancer, and songwriter. As a former JYP Entertainment trainee, Kim Donghyeok, also shows a lot of potential as a break out from Team B.

Regardless of what happens to the members of Team B, former YG Entertainment trainees like Hyunseung and 2PM's Jun.K have proven that there are opportunities beyond those offered by Papa YG. What do you think will become of Team B and its members? Who do you think has the most potential within Team B?

2PM Top Japan Weekly Charts With 'Winter Games' - 'We Sincerely Thank Everyone'

K-Pop idol group 2PM sits comfortably atop Japans's music charts after the release of "Winter Games" last week.

The 'beastly' six-member boy band released their seventh Japanese single "Winter Games" on October 16 and now find themselves at the top of both the Oricon and Tower Records weekly singles charts.

Since it dropped, the new single has dominated the real time and daily Oricon charts with the weekly rankings now in, 2PM have become the first Korean group to nab the number one spot on the weekly chart in months.

Oricon reported that the JYP Entertainment group sold 108,537 copies of "Winter Games" since its release and the anticipation for the new track prompted Japan's Tower Records store in Shibuya to make a special checkout area for fans looking to purchase the single album.

An exceptionally high number of Japanese fans flocked to the store after the single's release to get their copies making "Winter Games" this week's hottest seller.

The group members said through a representative, "We are very pleased and happy about the honor of being number one on Oricon and Tower Records's weekly charts after being number one on their daily charts. We will be a more diligent 2PM in accordance with all the love we have received. We sincerely thank everyone."

2PM have an outstanding track record in Japan. The group made their debut in the country in May 2011 with the song "Take Off" which immediately shot up the charts.

"Take Off" not only reached number one on the Oricon and Tower Records charts, but also earned 2PM the distinction of being the first Korean group to top the USEN J-Pop chart.

On May 29, 2PM made their Japanese comeback with the track "Give Me Love" and the song also performed well in the song rankings and is used as the theme to a popular television drama, Take Five.

Other Japanese-language singles like "I'm Your Man" and "Masquerade" have also appeared at number one, so it is no surprise that the guys' latest undertaking "Winter Games" has followed with an equally impressive showing.

2NE1's Sandara Park shared another photo of her cat pal and wrote "Bambi says hi!!! Successfully took a quick photo!!! But you can't see one eye ㅋㅋ. The area around our Bambi's eye is black, like she's wearing sunglasses, and her body is mixed with white, brown and black. And her nose is totally the color of strawberry milk." Looks like Dara loves her cat introducing it to her fans (^_^)
