Why Ex-JYP Artists Never Work With Them Again (1 Viewer)

Recently on Radio Star where Sunmi guested, where the other castmembers couldn’t help but notice the effects that JYP Entertainment had on her.

For one thing, the castmembers pointed out that her breathing pattern was really unique to listen to.
They even compared it to a grasshopper hopping over the leaves.

It turned out that this helped answer the question when the hosts were curious about why Sunmi pays close attention to her details when recording as a solo artist.

She stated that when she was an idol under JYP Entertainment, the CEO Park Jin Young tightly managed how she was supposed to perform onstage.

This linked back to how she developed her current breathing pattern, because JYP Entertainment had pushed for her to sing with the classic “half air, half sound method”.




The “half air, half sound” style of singing has been one of Park Jin Young’s biggest signatures and something he has pushed for all of his artists, to generate a softer and breathier sound.

The issue for Sunmi was that this style of singing was being pushed for every song, which meant that she couldn’t experiment or be more versatile with her vocals.



Hence, when she left to become a solo artist, she suddenly had the creative freedom to do what she wanted with her songs.

"After leaving JYP Entertainment, I could direct and decide everything for myself. I tried having 80 percent of air and 20 percent of my voice."

Furthermore, Sunmi was able to adopt her own performance style, which has been successful in garnering public attention.

"coming up with these performances is very different too"

In contrast, while under JYP Entertainment, she was required to adhere to what Park Jin Young wanted. Even if she disagreed with it.

Sunmi released her debut album “Full Moon” under JYP Entertainment, and had to follow instructions from JYP on how to promote the title track “24 Hours”.


And it was not that appealing to Sunmi at the time.

For one thing, she was not allowed to wear a stitch of makeup, because JYP wanted her to go for an expressionless look.

"When I performed “24 Hours”, he told me to look like a pale girl and not to wear any makeup or any fake eyelashes. So I really performed without any false eyelashes. So I sang with a blank face"

Additionally, Sunmi was told by JYP back then that she wasn’t allowed to make any facial expressions while performing “24 Hours”.

"As for Producer Park Jin Young, he told me not to make any kinds of facial expression on stage … After leaving his label, I could perform however I wanted including facial expressions"

With Sunmi having full creative freedom as a solo artist, she has been able to deliver a viral performance of “24 Hours” last year where she was able to showcase the expressions that she wanted.

The hosts sympathised with Sunmi’s lack of independence while under contract, though she did still state that she was on good terms with her former CEO.

Sunmi admitted that JYP Entertainment was her foundation. Naturally as she became more confident in herself as a performer, she would want to defy what others wanted in favor of what she wanted.

"A lot of people who have worked with Park Jin Young say, “I was disappointed back then, but in retrospect, he was right.""

Yet, the hosts then highlighted that those same former artists of JYP Entertainment never want to work with Park Jin Young ever again.

When I ask if they want to work with him again, they go “No. It won’t happen again.”

To this, Sunmi sheepishly showed her agreement.

" he told me not to make any kinds of facial expression on stage "

I wonder if this happens with other artists too

That sucks.

 

[yeji]

yet people say that JYP is the best

 

[yeji]

also I remember people pointing out how she has no expression when performing or did I recall something different?

 

[bulletproof]

Go to JYP they said, they're better they said

 

[Willow]

That sucks...

 

[MochiFace]

Ok i finally understand why JYP group performance look boring to me because they can't show their individuality on stage

 

[Evergreen]

And when she performed it like she wanted, her performance went viral so maybe he should reflect on his severe management.

Tbf JYP is the best one but that just says more about the other 2 than JYP

I personally don't like this thinking of some JYP stans that JYP is that holy company that does no wrong

Can’t understand company stans in general. They are often ready to stan whatever groups or soloists that their agency is going to debut and defend it no matter what as some YG stans who still defend the man and his company.

They're really oblivious and most are Onces which makes it even weirder since Twice have been overworked in the past

same. Like yeah I may love or like most artists from a company but I would never defend blindly

exactly. I remember when the JYP cult thing happened last year and every JYP stan on twitter were being super odd concearning that.
JYP did so many mistakes too and has been overworking groups too ( especcially Twice like you said)

No company is a holy company
It just make me laugh when i see jyp stan say that jyp is the best agency because they never mistreat their artist
And you have a whole interview of jay park and ex trainee saying how jyp staff hit the trainee when they do some mistakes

That bambam parents say that the company prevent them to contact bambam

That they have their entire staff who is not professional and can't take care of their business that they have to bring the downfall of another agency on a trainee showcase when nobody mention this other agency

And now sunmi who admit that they are not able to perform how they want and that JYP control even their expression on stage

Now i understand why nobody stay more than 10 years in jyp

Company stans in general have a weird way of defending their favourite company by focusing on the positives and ignoring the negatives but really people only care about 1 thing with a company when talking about whether it is good or bad.

That being whether they reliably take care of their artists which JYP and most other companies can't be considered reliable in that department.

totally agree with you. There is no good company. it's not black or white.

there is so much wrong with JYP too like you said

 

[DrowningFishy]

There is a lot of artists that do what JYP has done. YG stunted Lee Hi's personality because he wanted her to look mysterious. She's voiced many tiems her fusterations not being able to be herself. Yoon was told he played the gutair to much so he stopped playing it. He had a promising career as a rocker but had to make that choice. Rocker or Winner no inbetween-and face it it's been no inbetween because Yoon has yet to have a solo. And we all know since it's YG if he does it'll be rap based just watch if he ever does.

FNC: Hong Ki has voiced many times how CEO in teh early days used to control how he sang. Yet again CEO mirroring it to his own style rather then letting his artists be his own. And every company wants their own image. Heck even Jellyfish is guilty of this. VIXX was often told not to do stuff on camera because it didn't "suit" their image. Even something as simple and stupid as litening to a style of music-I am having a brain fart right now on what it's called. I wanna say fold but not folk-Asian style of folk XD. Goddamn brain work .

My point is there is no company that really lets their artists be free. Usually the ones who start to express themselves how they want they are artists teh company have given up on.

Looking at it from the company's POV what JYP was doing wasnt that bad. Idols are given a concept by their company and they expect it to be performed certain way. Is everyone forgetting who gave sunmi those songs, outfits, and mvs?

Why is everyone suddenly saying JYP is bad when Sunmi herself said,"A lot of people who have worked with Park Jin Young say, “I was disappointed back then, but in retrospect, he was right.""

JYP is still her boss at the end of the day. If my boss says I can't do something because of how it will affect my job or work performance then ofc I'll be mad but I'll still listen to what they said. Sunmi wanted her coin, if it was really as bad as yall are making it out to be then wouldnt she have terminated her contract?
