JYP Confirms First Member of Upcoming Girl Group

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

JYP Entertainment has taken the first step towards revealing their latest girl group.

A representative of JYP revealed to Sports Seoul on February 27, “We are preparing a six-member girl group. They will show the healthy charm of bright and strong teen girls. We ask you to anticipate a lot.”

According to the source, one of the members is Lena, who caught the attention of many with her smooth rap verses in Sunmi‘s “Full Moon.” Born in 1993, she is originally from the U.S., and has been a trainee for over two years. Thanks to her outstanding rap and dance skills, not to mention her beautiful looks, she is one of the leading members of the group.

Even though Lena is a Korean-American, the other members are not from multicultural backgrounds. They are in their teens, and will be entering the market of girl groups with their fresh charms, which stand out from the current trend of sexy concepts.

The name of the group is still kept in secret, but they can be expected to debut this spring. The album can be expected to include diverse tracks, not to forget one or two produced by the one and only Park Jin Young. As there have been no new traditional girl groups from JYP since Wonder Girls and miss A, many are expecting to see whether this one has what it takes to become JYP’s latest representative girl group.

Are you getting excited already?

Supposedly, the group's name is 6Mix

outstanding rap and dance skills

her flow needs some work, but it's not the worst i've ever heard. outstanding dance skills, though? have we been watching the same girl dance, jyp?

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

Is JYP debuting the groups in order of the number of members in the group? Like got7 - - - > 6mix - - - > 5live? Her rapping needs work imo

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I think that's cute and lame all at the same time

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

These numbered group names need to go. It becomes pointless when one of the members leave.
Either way, excited for more girl groups!
Now I'm waiting for SM and Woolim's new groups.
What if they join them together.

ikr, nine muses was a mess tbh, especially during that period when they were "nine muses" and had like 7 or 8 members. >.>

why not just be clever, name your group infinite, and if anyone complains you can always say "well having an infinite number of members is impossible anyway hahaHAH"

oops is my infinite bias showing okay it is

[jeje-bts.livejournal.com]

I feel. no. stage. presence.

[daisyazul.livejournal.com]

I'm excited for them and 5live

[frybits.livejournal.com]

if they are actually as talented as he says they are & he promotes them as well as he did with got7 i might actually pay attention to them

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

She's pretty and I guess her rapping skills can be improved in time but girl has zero stage presence.
She needs to practice more with high heels too; she barely moves in Full Moon but she looks so wobbly as if she's always close to toppling over.

[uguukawaii.livejournal.com]

that name is awful and theyre gonna be teens so tbh im not really checking for them at this point but thatll probably change

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I hope they're more interesting than I find Miss A, but judging from Lena as a member they'll be meh.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

lol plz no more numbered group names, I can never take them seriously. That being said, I figured she'd be in JYP's new girl group, but damn I hope the other girls have more charisma than her :

[4grandma.livejournal.com]

lol me too. ive heard rumour about the name of the new girlgroup would be 6mix

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

May probably be the only one excited for Lena

[turtles-tszx.livejournal.com]

Nope, im excited for her as well. Gurl wasnt doing good on stage during the first week but she definitely improve her stage presence this week music show.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

hahahaha your icon

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

her flow is bad and she has no stage presence so i'm not that excited

[torontok.livejournal.com]

her outstanding rap and dance skills, not to mention her beautiful looks
they forgot to mention her stage presence.oh wait.......

[littlefox12.livejournal.com]

She looked like go ara from a first, quick glance. I'd be more excited if jyp wasn't the ones composing their songs.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

She got better on stage during the first week...ya'll gotta cut the rookie some slack

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I think they need to focus on Got7 because their debut was less than impressive.

[beyoffce.livejournal.com]

iawtc

[eijem-sawada.livejournal.com]

terribad group name again...

[theharleyquinn.livejournal.com]

JYP's going to hit first with the new girl group. Should be interesting....as long as he doesn't screw it up with the song.

[scarletapples.livejournal.com]

Girl needs to take notes from Yubin and Jia tho, the stage presence is not there. Hopefully when the group debuts she'll be a lot more natural.

[peachie-ego.livejournal.com]

Please do not make them a faux-hop group. So sick of this concept. Can any of these damn companies just give me a damn Genie-esque concept with some Kara=esque bops? Damn.

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

bet you anything she's from LA/Orange County

[turtles-tszx.livejournal.com]

Well, you got it right. She's from LA

[sherxjinnie.livejournal.com]

6Mix................ why

Perfect weather can't get no better

[headphone-actor.livejournal.com]

smooth rap vocals? This girl's flow is so weak it almost redeems kris's nonexistent rap game in my eyes

can jyp stoppp with these ridiculous names, the only mix I follow starts with little

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Oh come on y'all, it's a bit hypocrite. She has 'no stage presence' but she wasn't given anything to have it either. They just make her stand and do her rap with a few hand gestures, I doubt it's a good way to introduce a new performer, especially someone supposed to have dance skills... And her rap isn't bad. Not amazing, but not bad, especially for an idol group lol
I'll wait for the full group. I usually like JYP girls' groups better than the boys. I just hope they will do things right with them, since it hasn't been the case with Miss A...

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

what i mean by stage presence is she doesn't move or do anything with her face. it sucks that they just made her stand there like a goober but she could at least have a little sparkle in her eyes or s/t

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

How is 1993 a teen though?

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

yall are being a bit harsh... she hasn't even been given that much to work with yet. anyway, i for one look forward to her. i liked her from the sunmi video actually. and her flow is not that bad? and she's very cute!

as for the name... i hope that's just a rumour. 6mix sounds too similar to little mix.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

She's not bad for an idol rapper at all, and she'll only get better.

[kwangsoo.livejournal.com]

she's pretty

[aridnili.livejournal.com]

She is pretty, I liked her participation in the MV and I don't know why I thought she was chinese. Jia will probably give her some lessons later. I'm excited for the new gg and I hope Miss A comeback happens after their debut. And lol at people caring about those names. We have so many ridic kpop group names that I don't even bother anymore. At least Six Mix rhymes lol

[kairoso.livejournal.com]

6mix sounds horrible. i want something cute like wondergirls.

[illmeltyoudown.livejournal.com]

She is pretty, i don't like how they dressed her as a t-ara n4 reject in the lives tho. Her rap is ok, and dance skills, well she doesn't dance, but i can feel she can?? Also her stage presence it's ok, i blame the fact that is awkward as fuck how she enter the stage raps and then go, with no interactions with Sunmi or something.. Idk, but i'm always here for girl groups, specially if they are JYP's, like Miss a slays, Wonder girls slays, and i even like some of their boy groups!
