Jo Kwon revealed that during the filming of ‘Happy Together 3′ on 22nd April relating to an incident when he was recording ‘This Song’.

Jo Kwon’s situation was confirmed by OneTwo Song HoBum who used to train under JYP. MC Yoo Jaeseok had suggested for Song HoBum to try recording just one verse of ‘This Song’ and Song HoBum’s reply was “Then it will take me 5 days to do so”.

►►Is JYPE aware of Wonder Girls’ new ‘humilation’ in America?
A “Buy Rice, get free Wonder Girls album” was spotted by hawkeyed netizens for a promotional event at a Korean supermarket with locations in New York and New Jersey. Has JYP gone to new lows by promoting the girls this way?
An article in the Korean press is calling this the “Wonder Girls humilation in America”.
However, a representative of the supermarket stated they want the Wonder Girls to succeed in America by giving out the album that’s difficult to acquire there.
So the next time you dip your chopsticks in Kyonggi Rice, think Wondergirls.
Wonder Girls will be coming out with a new album in May 2010.

►►Ye Eun confirms that 2AM won’t be opening for the Wonder Girls
Fans were disappointed earlier that 2AM weren’t listed as the opening guests together with 2PM for the Wonder Girls’ American tour this June. This was because 2AM had been announced to be going in the first announcement.
But fans were surprised when Yenny of the Wonder Girls twitted on April 13th that 2AM will be opening for the Wonder Girls on their tour.
The opening and not opening saga took another twist when Yenny twitted again on April 17th that 2AM won’t be appearing afterall.
So the final conclusion, 2AM will be in America but for JYP’s concert only in May.

Jo Kwon talks about why his debut was delayed
On a recent episode of KBS’s Happy Together 3, 2AM’s Jo Kwon said that he thinks about none other than JYP (Park Jin Young) when he sings ballad songs.
Jo Kwon explained, “When we (2AM) were recording the title song for our 1st album, Park Jin Young didn’t like the way I was singing so I ended up singing two lines of the song over and over again for 11 hours.”
Jo Kwon continued, “After recording, I expected a warm appraisal such as ‘You worked hard,’ but instead he said, ‘Now you finally realize why you still weren’t able to debut until now?’ and I became very shocked at his cold words!”
Since that incident, Jo Kwon said that every time when he needs to sing an emotional song again, he just has to think back to how hurt he felt from Park Jin Young’s comments and it really helps him to become emotional.
Be sure to catch Jo Kwon’s funny yet kind of depressing story on the 15th!

►►JYPE speaks up about Taecyeon’s scandal, “He only wanted to encourage fans”
I don’t believe that Taecyeon has this little fans…with his face everywhere on screen? yea, I don’t think so
On the 5th, Taecyeon had written on his fancafe, “It’s a new start, shall we do this together?” Fans were angered with the post, interpreting it as Taecyeon wanting to start 2PM promotions with a fresh start, without Jaebum.
Regarding this, a JYP Entertainment associate stated, “The fancafe that Taecyeon has left a message on is only of the only fancafes left that still encourages him despite many other fancafes that have deleted themselves. He left a message as a gesture of thanks to his fans.”
Info about the fancafe Taecyeon posted on:
The truth about “A Killing Smile”. It is a dying cafe. Many members have already left the cafe. A Killing Smile existed before Taecyeon was a part of 2PM but they have no drive (to do activities). The cafe has nothing to show other than a few posts Taecyeon wrote. They never did anything for his birthday. In comparison, their drive is considerably less than Park Jaebum’s ‘Be the Top’ cafe (with 100K members).
That’s what ‘AKS’ is. Although it’s blocked now, it’s a place where all you had to do was write your nickname and an introduction post and you were leveled up immediately.
The cafe admins didn’t have drive either (not even to close it properly). They forgot Taecyeon’s birthday until a month later. They never did present/supports until someone had to suggest it. Despite it all, he always left a post for them whenever he left for America.
It is said that it was just Taec’s attempt at earning sympathy from the last existing cafe for him.
A Killing Smile has 6k members.

►►JYPE are going to legal authorities concerning the attacks against 2PM
They are PUSHING IT! They need to realize that it’s not these guys’ fault that Jaebum left. JYPE is RIGHT to seek police help!
JYP Entertainment released an official statement today, saying that they are going to legal authorities concerning the attacks against the six members of 2PM.
After JYPE released a statement announcing that Jaebeom was officially no longer part of 2PM and held a fan conference to build on the fact, many Hottests turned their backs against the group. Some have gone so far as to find the members’ citizen registration numbers, which is equivalent of the social security number in the US, and using it illegally to exploit these young men. Due to these serious attacks on the members by ex-Hottests, JYPE has announced that they have no choice but to contact the police concerning this matter. Using another person’s citizen registration number is a serious criminal offense in Korea.
Below is is the statement that JYPE made on 2PM’s official fancafe.
“After announcing on February 25th that Jaebeom would be no longer a part of 2PM, a few netizens started to attack the six members by saying inappropriate things and spreading rumours about them. We have talked to the six members to figure out how to deal with the problem, but decided that we need to understand the fans who have been notified of something that they cannot easily accept. The members said that they will handle their personal feelings better in future and be warmer in their approaches to the fans.
However, a few Netizens have illegally obtained personal information about the six members including their citizen registration number and have been distribution and misusing those information. In order to protect the members, we had no choice but to approach the law enforcement for the six members on this matter.”
We would like to thank the fans who are supporting the six members in a time like this.
It’s shocking how far these people will go to hurt people they don’t personally know. Do you think these people’s actions are justified or have they gone too far?
Stay tuned to allkpop for more news on 2PM.

►►K-Hottests cancelled large-scales protest due to legal reasons but held a small one instead
With the cancellation of the protest set for the 31st in front of Boshinkak, 2PM’s fanclub met in front of JYP Entertainment’s building and held a meeting instead.
On the afternoon of the 31st, 2PM’s fanclub explained a reason their reason for the cancellation and revealed a statement.
Through the statement, they exclaimed, “Over 1,000 members were scheduled to come but the block would not allow for our protest and because the block is very narrow, it has been revealed to be illegal to form more than 1,000 people at once in the form of a protest. We were afraid that the protest in front of the JYPE building would also be canceled like the one set for Boshinkak and so we have decided to open a secret protest.
With the release of articles stating that Park Jaebum will not be returning, JYPE has repeatedly come out and said that they were misinformed. We do not feel that these articles were written only out of mere assumption and guess. We are protesting JYPE because we feel that JYPE is only playing with the 2PM fanclub through broadcast and the press.”
Over 200 fanclub members were present.

►►’Father’ JYP, “I approve of Jokwon and Ga-in!”
JYP has officially approved Jokwon and Ga-in during this week’s episode of “We Got Married.”
During January 30th’s episode of “We Got Married,” Ga-in visited 2AM, who was the opening for JYP’s concert.
Ga-in, who was a fan of JYP during her school days, gifted him with rice cakes and dried seaweed. She also sang one of his songs.
When 2AM members suddenly intruded, they teased, “Jokwon said when we go to the US, he’s gonna find himself a girlfriend.” JYP, seeing Jokwon shocked and embarrased, stated, “If you will date Ga-in, I’ll approve of it.” and surprised everyone around.
JYP added, “She’s kind, pretty, and even talented. You two should just get married! However, you will have to come and sing once a week.”
Ga-in then tried to make Jokwon jealous by saying, “I want to marry you, so I can see my father-in-law (JYP) everyday.”

►►JYPE associate to dicuss possible comeback with Jaebum in Seattle!
*crossing my fingers and hoping for the best* >.<
The return of Park Jaebum is still a hot issue in the music world.
Today (29th), there have been rumors that an associate of JYP Entertainment will be discussing plans to fly to Seattle. Having heard this, fans have been disturbed once again.
JYP’s associate will be heading off to America for business matters and has added Seattle to his schedule. The company has revealed that this trip will be in order to meet with Jaebum and his family.
An associate stated, “The business trip to Seattle will most likely be a meeting where Jaebum can discuss his comeback opinion.”
Despite this direct contact with Jaebum and JYP Entertainment, fans have stated that they will refuse to believe anything until Jaebum’s return is confirmed. The reason for the disbelief is that Park Jinyoung had previously stated that Jaebum’s return will be through 2PM on Golden Fishery. Despite having announced Jaebum’s possible return, there have been no further movements or actions from him or the company, breaking the hope and trust of the fans.
With various rumors surfacing on Jaebum’s complete withdrawal, the fans are also upset and disappointed that JYPE handled the matter as if it was nothing, merely stating “These are groundless rumors. There is nothing decided yet. The situation is exactly the same as after he left.”
We have yet to hear anything on Jaebum’s whereabouts. There have even been rumors that he received a cast offer from a Hollywood movie. However, experts claim this as an unrealistic move since JYPE has trainees specifically trained for the American market.
►►Wonder Girl SunYe cried because of ‘fake letter’ accusations
OMG I really hates how some people are being soooooo RUDE to SunYe! They think that it’s her job as a ‘leader’ to stop SunMi from leaving…this is just so unfair for the poor girl >.<
Wonder Girls’ Sunye sent a crying phone call to JYPE after she wrote a message (see below cut) to their fans on their fan cafe.
You’re probably asking about the reason for her tears.
After fans read the message, some people were second guessing the legitimacy of the letter. They were saying that it wasn’t really Sunye that wrote the letter. Fans commented, “I bet JYPE wrote this letter, not Sunye.”
JYP Entertainment made a statement today, “Sunye called the company after all the accusations. She was crying on the phone. Sunye did write that letter.”
The Letter..
To the Wonderfuls we love, please read this ^^♡
►►JYPE rejected fans’ request for a Wonder Girls conference but opened up another chance to talk
I’ve decided not to believe anything until Wonder Girl Sunmi herself speaks up
Rejected
The representative of WonderGirls fan union revealed that their request for fan conference with JYP Entertainment has been rejected on 23rd January.
It has been known that fans requested for a conference with JYP CEO Park Jin Young regarding the shocking news of SunMi’s sudden leaving of the group, but it was rejected. According to the fans, JYP has personally rejected the request.
The representative of the fan union announced on 27th January, “We are still in shock and confused state of SunMi’s leaving of the group. Such an important piece of news and it was released through WonderGirls American homepage and not through the fanclub, explaining it briefly in a few sentence in English. We are disappointed with the way JYP announced it.”
“We have been waiting for JYP’s sincere answer but until now we have not heard anything. And when we request for conference, they simply told us that they will reject it.”
It has been known that the fan union had given JYP 4 conditions on 23rd January:
- There is a need to explain clearly about SunMi’s activities discontinuity. And when will the discussion and official announcement about the case be released.
- Clear explanation about new member HyeRim’s status. This is because in the announcement posted on JYP American website, it is known that SunMi may have her comeback in the future.
- SunMi’s fanmeeting. WonderGirls will meet with fans personally and establish a consensus, and also do a goodbye stage, since the last stage they had was during their Seoul concert last March.
- JYP to apologise for their unilateral communication.
The fan union has given JYP a notice to hold the conference before 31st January. But it has been unclear from JYP’s side about their stand on holding the conference.
JYP, wondergirls will hold dialogue with fans
It has been known on 27th January that a WonderGirls fan union’s request for conferece with JYP Entertainment has been turned down by Park Jinyoung himself.
►►JYPE could not stop Wonder Girl SunMi’s withdrawal request
After reading this, it makes a lot more sense. Maybe SunMi really does want to pursue her education first because I mean after all, what would she do when her singer career is over possibly 15 years from now?
JYP Entertainment revealed that they could not stop Sunmi due to legal reasons. The main reason is the Fair Trade Commission’s standard contract, which JYPE accepted in November of last year. As the new contract terms enforce, artists with exclusive contracts, now have a greater level of decision making authority.
A JYPE associate said:
If it was before the new contract policies, we couldn’t even imagine Sunmi’s withdrawal from the group. If it was up to us, we would’ve stopped Sunmi. The artists have more personal freedom now.
The standard contract enforces that the artists have a voice. The artists can speak to their management about how they’re feeling at anytime and the management has to listen. The company also has to pay attention to their artists’ physical and emotional health. After they accepted this standard contract, JYPE started to agree with their artists on specific schedules and demands. This is why they had to accept Sunmi’s request when staying in America became too much for her to handle.
JYPE also explained why they had to add an additional member:
The Wonder Girls are slowly getting to be known as a 5-member group in America. If they turn into a 4-member group all of a sudden, it would hinder their promotions.
►►JYPE, “SunMi isn’t quitting … She is stopping activities temporarily”

WonderGirls SunMi will temporarily stop her activities.
A phone interview was conducted with the PR manager of JYP Entertainment on KBS 2TV ‘Park SooHong Choi WonJung’s YeoWooManMan’ aired on 25th January, talking about SunMi’s future plans.
The official said, “SunMi is not quitting. She is just temporarily stopping activities. She had wanted to continue with her studies and we respect her decisions. We have not decided in what wat she will come back.”

“Sunmi isn’t quitting … She is stopping activities temporarily,” the official stated. “She wanted to continue her studies, so we respected her decision and stopped her activities. We haven’t decided how she will make her return yet.”
As we know, trainee Lim will be the newest addition to this pop idol group. Will she be a permanent replacement or a temporary addition? And does this mean Sunmi will be returning to the Wonder Girls or just the music scene in general? I guess we’ll just have to see. Stay tuned as allkpop continues to follow this matter.

►►GaIn, “I’m going to father-in-law JYP to get permission to marry JoKwon”
This couple makes me nervous ~~ every time their ‘love’ just gets more intense lol
In MBC’s’We Got Married’ (or WGM) the petite couple Jo Kwon-Ga In went to singer Park Jin Young’s concert to get permission for their marriage.
In the recent recording of ‘WGM’, Jo Kwon-Ga In couple properly greeted Park Jin Young who is like a father to Jo Kwon.
They decided to formally greet JYP because he trained Jo Kwon for 8 years and is like a father to Jo Kwon.
Even though it was Ga In’s first time seeing JYP face to face, she naturally called him “father-in-law” and showed the cuteness of a daugher-in-law.
Not only this but Ga In, who has always been a fan of JYP, prepared a present and a determined stage which showed her sincerity.
In order to see the surprise stage Ga In prepared for JYP, and to see if he permitted Ga In to become the wife of Jo Kwon, watch ‘WGM’ on the 23rd.

JYP’s style director reveals working with 2PM behind the scenes
The winner of Project Runway KOREA Lee Wookyung has turned into JYP’s style director. Lee Wookyung revealed what it was like working in JYP as 2PM’s style director on OnMedia’s ‘Style Magazine 2010.’
With innovative ideas and designs, Lee Wookyung worked on various collaborations and received many love calls after winning the first season of Project Runway Korea.
On Style Magazine 2010, Lee Wookyung recently revealed the process it took in completing 2PM’s ‘zombie style’ outfits. She stated “I tried my best to match the outfits to the individual styles of the 6 members.”
In reality, Chansung and Taecyeon are tall and have a great figure so outfits that fit them well match them best. Junsu and Junho look very short compared to the others and so a style that makes them look skinny and long works better. Nichkhun and Wooyoung are the skinniest members and so they look very weak and small up on stage, which is something that must be paid attention to.
Particularly on Nichkhun, she revealed “Khun has the perfect physical attributes closest to a model. I add a jacket or a vest as detail to help him look a bit more impressive compared to the rest of the members. Khun’s outfit is an outfit only he can handle. Whenever I prepare his outfit, I’m always thinking about it from start to finish.”
As an extra note, Lee Wookyung also revealed a special fate-like relationship she has with Park Jinyoung. During her college years, Lee randomly walked the streets of Manhattan, New York and discovered Park Jinyoung. She raced over to him and blurted “I want to be Bi’s stylist.”
Afterwards, Lee Wookyung became JYP’s style director and met Park Jinyoung once more. Park Jinyoung remembered the moment and stated “It really is fate,” unable to hide his surprise and amazement.
