Lady Collection Jieun

New rookie group Lady Collection's leader Jieun (JC), revealed in a recent interview that she's close with 2NE1's Sandara Park and was once her mentor!

Jieun, who had been training under YG Entertainment from 2003-2007 and was part of their label until this January, had grown close with fellow trainee, Sandara Park.

Jieun said, "Because of the age difference I wasn't really her friend but more of an older sister as I cheered her on. But now it's the other way around as she cheers me on. And because I used to give her vocal lessons, it feels more special."

She also spoke about her former fellow trainee's recent success, "She's doing better than I thought she would and that makes me proud. Sandara Park is really determined and her long practice period really paid off with her face acting/expressions improving too. And of course she's become even more beautiful and healthy."

The former YG member had her debut all set but it was delayed by 2 years which caused her to switch to a new record label and ultimately leading Lady Collection, who actually made their first live debut performance last night! Check it out below:

jieun is like the dana of yg. BLARHGHASFGHAHGBLAGH. with better promotion and a stronger concept she could have totally taken the kpop ballad scene by storm, but NOOO. yg just couldn’t seem to market her properly. i really hope lady collection does freakin’ well, cuz all of them deserve it. especially jieun… she waited so longgg. T___T.


and as for the article, ahah. jieun’s close to dara? i know she was close to taebin. am i the only one who wanted taebin and jieun to actually hook up? yes? ...

I heard that in 2007, Ji Eun was supposed to debut in a group with Park Bom, Minji and others but instead, YG had her release a solo album but it didn’t do too well so she was dropped (?) from the company and now she’s in a new group. It’s a chance for her to start over again. She’s only 4 years older than Dara.

@26 - No, Lady Collection isn’t under YG.

If she waited longer, I think she could’ve succeeded [more].

@10 - No! Taebin and Koo Hye Sun ftw. =p

debut? i thought she already debuted with yg? maybe you meant comeback, from what i can remember she debuted with an album with the lead single “rain”? (highly praised but only a mediocre success commercially) correct me if im wrong haha
