JYP Boyband
Note there are 13 boys in the picture but one was rumored to be kicked out.

JYP Boyband

On the heels of success of mega group Super Junior, there's rumors flying around the net about JYP's new 12 member boy band. The group is rumored to consist of Korean, Chinese, and Thai members. Not too much is known about the new ensemble but inside sources have informed us that they will debut on January 25th - The teaser video further supports the rumors of their debut date.

JYP just can't get enough, I guess he saw Super Junior's success & wanted some more money. A multi ethnic band though? Wonder how that'll work out... it's going to sound like a bunch of dropped kitchenware.

WOW! I’m actually excited for this!!
The whole talk about JYP making a 12-member boy band
has been going on since 2007. I wonder if they’re any good?
I have to admit JYP is a good producer .. not the greatest but good.
Soo I wonder how this is going to turn out!
Let’s hope they’ll debut on Jan. 25.

i dunno if they’ll sound like a bunch of dropped kitchen ware but their names sure do!!!
lol bad asian joke!
Yeah i have been hearing about this band for long enough… time to see what theyre all about
i dont really care what they sound like, that’s what the mute button is for… I want hotties!! ok not really but I am expecting their music to suck (hopefully not as bad as suju) so they better have the looks to compensate!

Actually, JYP’s not going to be debut with all 12 members, he’s going to pick only a few of them to debut as group but not all 12.

Ive been hearing this since 07.
Funny how Japan loves making large girl groups and Korea likes making large boy groups.

I dun know about them yet but they look kind of plain. At least, each member in SUJU has some unique features that u can distinguish them from others but the bunch of boys shown in the picture look identical (both among themselves and other members of other boybands).

I’ve always considered SuJu to be pretty cheesy and Gay band.  As long as JYP has something else to offer other than SM bubblegum pop, I’ll support this group.

it’s cool that the band isn’t just consisted of Korean guys like broadening the Korean music industry but it seems that JYP is just making a Suju rip-off and adding Thai people in the group to make them a little different from Suju and plus they kinda all look alike so it would be a while for anyone to distinguish them individually i think

i wonder what names the group will be.

@ Charlotte:
If there are 12-13 of them, there is no way they will pursuit the serious MUSIC. THEY have to pursuit the (GAY) BUBBLE GUM POP, else they will look stupid since serious music demand focus of vocal----> can’t dance ----> 12-13 guys standing there on the stage like a bunch of statue of liberty ---> boooooo booooooo from high school girls since these kids only want to see some ‘skexsy’ move.

BUBBLE GUM DANCE HAPPY BUM BUM TASTELESS POP is their only choice!!!!

Why they have to introduce a group with so many people ??? I really can’t understand ...

Seriously, you people need to read some real news before putting negitive comments about these trainees.  Because it’s NOT GOING TO BE A 12 MEMBER GROUP, ONLY A FEW WILL GET TO DEBUT. It’s not another SUJU wannabe.

Why you guys worried about if they are going to sing the bubblegum pop? JYP is making them so they will be stuck in the 80’s singing 80’s song probably with whatever sex appeal JYP can find in them. Can I call VH1 and ask them to put JYP in “I Love the 80’s?”

I think the one super huge group is enough! I don’t think this group will do to well because all SuJu fans will think this group is trying to copy them :S so I think this group will just gain many haters instead...idk we’ll see when they debut…

Actually, I`m excited about these guys.
I`m guessing they`ll be having a lot of english in their songs though, two(I think...theres probably more) speak english and one of them is really good~(no accent & I forgot his name ><") But yea. Can`t wait for their debut~

I think allkpop just posted their preview clip? The whole thing sounds like a bad mix of SM’s SuJu project and YG’s Big Bang documentary.

Hooray for JYP! I can’t wait to see whatever is coming up on 25 Jan 08!!! Whoever is trained by JYP can’t be that bad.

Time for me to say goodbye to a certain JYP male protege… I can’t be listening to songs from 2002-2006 forever.

they didn’t believe that a group of 12 boys+1 would succeed and be accepted by fans so now that SUJU has gained popularity...JYP make his own version to match up the former…

WHAT"S ON YOUR MIND JYP?

its going to be interesting.
we just have to wait and see what happens but i dont think they will be as big as suju are. maybe im just being biased. or maybe its cause i havent actually heard this group sing yet ...
good luck?

Jan 26, 2008 - 03:44 PM

Wow, I’m actually psyched to see them. Even though we have enough boy bands populating this scene, they seem to be worth the hype judging by the fact that it’s JYP producing them. Besides some of them are pretty cute!

ehhh they look pretty plain
and they almost look alike.
Suju at least doesnt have members that look alike.
i like Suju better
but hey lets see how they do.
since it is from JYP maybe theyll be abit more R&Bish;or 80’sish like WG. but i seriously doubt the 80’sish thing cuz yea that would look totally ridulous.
hopefully they have good vocal talent.

i don’t know how Super Junior got so big, but ANOTHER 100-member band?
12’s too many in my opinion…
but the mixes MIGHT help.
who knows…
this looks like a good gamble

it’s annoying that their are groups of 9, 12, 13, they should stop making big groups because if their is too many people, they only have one or none lines in songs and just sing the chorus. also only some of the people get the reconization

... Why?
I can’t wait until the Elves give their reaction… But see this is a differences between (some) American Suju fans and (most) Korean Suju fans… Most of the Korean fans care to damn much, at a dangerous level.
