JYP (Park Jin Young), will release his latest creation Jo Kwon, after 7 hard years of training.

On JYP Entertainments homepage, JYP wrote an inspirational message dedicated to his trainee Jo Kwon.

"Congratulations Kwon. You were able to get through 2,567 days of training and waiting. You have deeply impressed and moved me."

Jo Kwon is the longest trainee in JYPE history, and although he entered JYPE with stars such as Sun Ye of the Wonder Girls, he never once complained or crumbled after watching the successes of others before him. Jo Kwon will debut or release a preview MV on July 10th, 2008.

That's one diligent little son of a bitch. And all this time I thought I was hard working. Over the past 2 years I've trained and molded my wife into the beautiful ~~woman~~ kitchen dweller she is today. And now I can enjoy the fruits of my labor (pats self on the ass and prays the wife doesn't read this).

Update: It is still unknown whether Jo Kwon will be debuting solo or as a 4 member boy band called 2AM. If 2AM pulls through, fellow Hot Blood Boys, Lim Seul Ong, Jung Jin Woon and Lee Chang Min will join Jo Kwon.

hope he has success ^^
if he worked that hard for that long, it would be sad to see him turn into a C/D list star -_-

good luck to him..definitely hope he can sing…
7 years??whoa,how old is he now??
if i’m not mistaken,GD & TY from BB trained for 6 years before they debut in Big Bang...they look so cute when they were kids…
i wonder how Jo Kwon looks like when he’s a kid…

boo on him debuting solo. i wanted him to debut with the jyp boy group. well, whatever. at least he’s talented, especially in singing, and a lot of people know about him. hopefully that’ll be enough for him to do well. regardless of me wanting him to not debut solo, i’m still excited for jo kwon’s debut :]]

I’m looking forward to this, he DID train for a while and he was respectful to his sunbaes too. Better be good! =D

i glanced at the gorilla,and i thought it was a pic of lee jung at first...like, wtf zomg ur face!

7 years...lol, he’s been training since i was a freshman in high school...maybe he should’ve focused more on his studies like some people...graduate college and actually make real money instead of getting nickel and dimed by your management company.

I hope this guy debuts as a solo artist. I’m a little tired of the consant stream of debuting boy bands.

Also, 7 years??? Wow. He’ll either be the best-prepared new artist out there or completely mediocre, since he hasn’t debuted until now.

JYP’s lip gloss be poppin. Haha.

And I doubt he was honing his (non?)existent music skills for SEVEN YEARS. A dutiful slave perhaps? When the Wonder Girls are out of commission of course.

maybe JYP needs the male version of failure Joo to make them a couple for the year 2008…

I’m pretty sure if someone has been training for 7 years they will be good. Either that or they are really slow in progress or just wants to perfect every aspiring talent they have. But I can’t wait! JYP make me proud, although your face does scare me a bit. ;]

7 years, that’s as long as some of those snsd girls. either he’s really good from so many years of training OR he was mediocre and had to train that long to get good.

well i hope he comes successful! we need a new successful soloist out there [=

The boy is actually talented. I watched him singing “I believe I can fly” when he was 14, and it’s great!

i think it’s going to be a group act, and not solo.

JYP is sooooooo hideous. That pic of him can be offensive for some you know?

oooh, something i am actually going to look forward to…
omg props to Jo Kwon for hard training. Jessica from Girls’ Generation trained for 7 years too, even longer than some of the Super Junior and DBSK members. dang. If i was a trainee, i would get hella frustrated after maybe even 2-3 years… wow.

Good luck to Jo Kwon & rest of the ppls! Although JYP disgusts me… i saw him at a club here in Chicago, hahah i almost threw up lol.

Jul 08, 2008 - 10:21 AM

I think the kid is good.
I want him to go solo. Not another boy band!!!!!!!!!!
If I happen to like them, I CAN’T KEEP UP T_T I already have DBSK, SUJU, FT ISLAND, BIG BANG, SHINEE To Spazz over -_-’

Ahhhh, it’s probably going to be a group though.

RELEASE HOT BLOOD ALREADYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY PLEASE JYP?!
I can’t wait for Hot Blood to debut.. I want to see if they’re going to be successful. I love Nichkun from Hot Blood. YEa. anyways.. I hope this guy will go solo.

Does anyone know when G-Soul and J-Lim(They are the saving graces of JYP seriously) are debuting in the U.S. I think JYP needs to deliver these two to us before he goes on to another band. I remember G-Soul singing in Brooklyn once but that was it.
