The Clouds (Rain's fans) were upset when JYP said, "If you compare the Wonder Girls vs Rain, 1/3 of Wonder Girls music income is more than half of Rain's music income." He continued, "Wonder Girls profits are high with low promotional costs and they have a hit song. On the other hand, you have Rain with high promotional costs and no hit songs at all."
The Clouds are thundering JYP with expletives and are labeling him an egomaniac. What makes matters worse is that today is Rain's 26th birthday.
It's a Wonder, if this will strain the relationship between the two

kah
rain kills wonder girls.
But I’m a big JYP fan in general.
Jun 25, 2008 - 12:41 PM
What an ass. That was such a jerk-ish thing to say.
Jun 25, 2008 - 12:48 PM
He’s just stating the facts. Stating facts = negitivity/egomaniac??
GET A LIFE PEOPLE.

Rain is Fail
Jun 25, 2008 - 12:56 PM
hmm, i think people should understand that JYP is a businessman and of course he would only think of profits..i think if Rain stays in JYPE he can make a lot of money too, but since now WG is making more money for JYPE than Rain now, of course he will say that...hopefully JYP isn’t going to say that about another artistes of his when they make more money than WG later..
Jun 25, 2008 - 01:01 PM
Ya Rain hasn’t been doing much but shooting Bomb movies . .
“he ain’t Coming”
Jun 25, 2008 - 01:20 PM
They’re both bad,IMO. Korea hasn’t produced anything good in years. Instead, they copy shi**y western/american music. Which also hasn’t produced anything good in years. *sigh*
But the kiddies don’t care. They’ll buy anything with a pretty face. Despite how bad the music sounds.
Jun 25, 2008 - 01:24 PM
JYP is making more moolah off WG cause he manipulating greater shares off their income. not like the girls can do anything about it, they’re all too young, ignorant and scared to piss off their boss.
Jun 25, 2008 - 01:25 PM
Samurai, that’s an ignorant statement. Sure, a lot of the kpop stars haven’t produced anything worthy but if you actually take the time to find some good artists (mostly underground) you will find that there is actually a lot of talent.
Jun 25, 2008 - 01:46 PM
whatever JYP he wouldn’t be saying this if Rain was under his management obviously he’s mad that Rain isn’t
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:15 PM
hw just mad rain isnt with him now
so stupid
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:20 PM
I think it’s JYPs fault rain doesn’t speak english as good as he should, he even said so in a interview that he wished he had better prepared rain for the american market.
I love the music JYP makes but this dude needs to get his head out of his ass. Sure Rain is failing in some peoples view in america but he’s doing better than the two rapper/singers JYP is trying to market.
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:23 PM
Isnt it true though, like after rain left JYP what good thing has been going his way. Speed racer was a bust even if he had like 1 line, and his ninja movie is gonna suck too. He should of just stayed with JYP and used his connections in the US instead of trying to make it on his own… which isnt doing and its never gonna happen
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:29 PM
since when was rain a failure? he was pretty smoking in korea. now when he came to the us, that’s different story.
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:30 PM
Nozomi… And I bet you blame your parents for all your failures. Rain should have better prepared himself, don’t blame others for it. Rain wouldn’t even be where he is today if it wasn’t for JYP.
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:32 PM
Ha...the guys needs to take a good look at himself..
I don’t even know what I am saying, was never a big fan of them anyways.
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:42 PM
The fact that Rain even GOT the lead role in the Ninja Assassin movie makes him a success not a failure. Why does JYP always bring up Rain in his interviews? I know reporters probably ask him about Rain but it seems like JYP is still not over the fact Rain left him. JYP needs to get over the fact that Rain is gone...then he needs to move on.
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:46 PM
Just because JYP help make Rain into a star doesn’t mean that Rain owes him everything. I’m sure JYP made good money off of Rain while Rain was under him. I’m glad he left and is trying to do his own thing.
Jun 25, 2008 - 02:53 PM
It’s the truth though...JYP accepted Rain and saw talents in him even if everybody else said that he’s too ugly to even make it in the industry...it’s Rain’s fault and he didn’t use his head...he shouldn’t have done that when he’s starting over...he just risk his career…
Jun 25, 2008 - 03:00 PM
Once the Wonder hoes decide to leave JYP, the pedophile will prolly bad mouth them too.
Jun 25, 2008 - 03:13 PM
business is a scary thing…
Jun 25, 2008 - 03:16 PM
JYP is kinda like the Irv Gotti of K-pop
he talks way too much and says some stuff he prolly shouldnt say but at least he’s honest
Jun 25, 2008 - 03:27 PM
JYP was the one who took Rain to America when Rain was for sure not prepared...so the reason Rain isn’t making money is quite obvious. But again, JYP could just be stating facts, so maybe making a huge fuss about it isn’t all that needed. (It’s not like it will stop fangirls though.)
Jun 25, 2008 - 03:29 PM
@ hello I don’t blame anybody for any failures i make but myself. i was pointing out how after the US Rain tour fiasco, JYP commented on saying he wished he had better prepared Rain to enter the american market.
Jun 25, 2008 - 03:37 PM
no matter how much i think JYP is a music genius but come on....Rain has tons of hit songs..he is one of the biggest korean icons ! i’m wondering if there is other reasons involve for saying sth like that !!!
Jun 25, 2008 - 03:38 PM
aww… thats mean… i feel soory for him
Jun 25, 2008 - 03:40 PM
@xstrikr:
“Once the Wonder hoes decide to leave JYP, the pedophile will prolly bad mouth them too.”
True TRUE.
Then we will have: Joo > WG, even though Joo’s CD sales suck azz, she is more talented than all of the WG combines together. And “Joo is more INNOCENT than WG"…
yeah, JYP… it’s time for you to retire…
Jun 25, 2008 - 04:36 PM
I like Rain...well his acting anyways. (I’m a Big Fan)
As a singer he was alright..his songs were catchy and
I was in love with his dancing LOL…
WonderGirls...didn’t like them when I first heard them
still don’t like them...no offense to the fans or anything.
Everyone’s trying to reach their dream.
Jun 25, 2008 - 04:50 PM
Technically Bi was really successful when he was still with JYP. After he left and started his own entertainment group, his fame plummetted. I think he was too greedy and that greed landed him on the bottom. C’mon, what are the chances that an ASIAN will make it in the US? It’s pretty low. There are those successful few that actually made it but other than that .. everyone else have failed miserably. I wouldn’t consider the Wonder Girls to be “up there”. Half of them can’t even sing. YooBin doesn’t even rap, she lip-syncs. SoHee has a pitchy voice, & her face just annoys me. Anyways, JYP can’t compare Wonder Girls with Bi. They are two different things.
Jun 25, 2008 - 05:01 PM
JYP’s greatest work is yoobin and sunye.
Jun 25, 2008 - 05:23 PM
once, again JYP makes a fool out of himself..
he probaly doesnt love WG, just the money that they make for him, and if rain was such a failure, we wouldnt be filming or doing whatever he is right now.
Jun 25, 2008 - 05:54 PM
wtf? JYP was the one who practically helped Rain with everything. He’s just making himself seem like more of an ass right now. So he needs to stfu. He’s just mad that he has a ugly pig face, and that Rain looks waaay better…
Jun 25, 2008 - 05:57 PM
At least he’s honest =D but yeah he should try to not say too much and keep it to himself before the Clouds turn into the Elves =D
Jun 25, 2008 - 06:17 PM
Wow, today IS his birthday! That’s so sad ;___; This makes me dislike JYP even more.
Jun 25, 2008 - 06:27 PM
well. he’s not bashing or anything. all he said was WG music had more income than Rain’s.
and well...who makes both of their songs? JYP
so he got nobody to blame but himself. duh.
Jun 25, 2008 - 06:44 PM
It’s called honesty people,
Especially when it comes to business.
All he is doing is comparing income and hits. That’s it.
WG DOES have some hits, well two hits but whatever haha.
If JYP molded Rain to what he is today, then he can CERTAINLY break him down.

Jun 25, 2008 - 07:05 PM
^ the hard truth stevie… thats what makes it sooo sad.
----------
and it was rain’s b-day. tsk… wait?....... it is???
Jun 25, 2008 - 07:34 PM
that was pretty rude of jyp, but the truth is rain is really nothing without him
Jun 25, 2008 - 07:52 PM
“On the other hand, you have Rain with high promotional costs and no hit songs at all”
OH SNAP! XD
Jun 25, 2008 - 08:15 PM
i heard this yesterday
you might think rain is way better than wonder girls but then if you think about it rain is just the body and the face and he did do acting too
and wonder girls just did singing and tell me was a big hit everyone knows tell me and so hot not like rain song that forget but does that breathing and come on yo thing (:
Jun 25, 2008 - 08:17 PM
Truth hurts… Get over it people!
If there is one to blame, blame the fans…
they aren’t buying enough of Rain’s music.
Jun 25, 2008 - 08:56 PM
ok its not the fan fault tha they dont have money
Jun 25, 2008 - 08:58 PM
rain was one of the talents that made JYP a credible name in the producing circuit. he should at least thank him for that.
i guess if that’s his way to promote the wonder girls. the fractions are a bit boggling but i get the point.
i wouldn’t be surprised if he retracted his comment in the coming weeks and blamed GQ for misquoting him.
Jun 25, 2008 - 09:05 PM
Rain is more talented hands down.
How the hell could you say that about someone who used to work for you??? They had a good relationship, didn’t they? This just sounds cocky. Yeah WG has hits (and I like their music) but they can’t sing and eventually they’ll have to display actual talents. I like them, but they rely too much on their cuteness. I totally agree with youtookmyname.
Jun 25, 2008 - 09:11 PM
Just wait 2 years and everything that had anything to do with JYP will fail.
WG will suck, except Sunye.
Rain will just fail.
JYP will be even older, uglier, and no will like him.
Jun 25, 2008 - 09:32 PM
JYP’s just riding the wave coz WG are at the peak of their careers..Years from now, we’ll hear the same story but there’ll be a change of names..WG will take the place of Rain and WG’s place will be taken by the future WG..lol
Jun 25, 2008 - 09:39 PM
that’s right, Rain is nothing without JYP. WonderGirls would be nothing without JYP. JYP is a genius for making nothings into somethings like Rain and Wondergirls.
Jun 25, 2008 - 10:39 PM
Like many people outside of Korea, I never ever heard of JYP until I knew about Rain. So who really made who?
Jun 25, 2008 - 10:40 PM
JYP is incredible, i mean if you look at the people hes produce a lot of them are mediocre looking and/or can’t sing. However he still manages to make them into mega stars.
Jun 25, 2008 - 11:51 PM
too bad if he said so but he’s the one to make Bi a star
