Singer and producer Park Jin Young reveals his true thoughts on his endeavors in the United States.
On January 1st, Park Jin Young wrote on his Twitter, “If the Wonder Girls and I didn’t try to venture into the American market, JYP would have probably been much more profitable. I would probably be a super rich multi-millionaire and the Wonder Girls would probably be even more popular in Korea. Despite all of that, we went off to try such an impossible and ridiculous challenge.”
He continued, “This year, the results of that long challenge will finally be unveiled. If it goes well, we will have succeeded what no other Asian celebrity has done before. If it doesn’t, I guess we will just have to suffer the loss of money and popularity.”
“If it doesn’t go well, will I regret it? Though I didn’t know it would cost us multi-billion won or our popularity, I think during the several years we spent in the world’s best music market, we were able to gain experience and wisdom worth multi-trillion won. True wisdom can only be earned by learning from attempting an impossible challenge and failing.”
“I’ve always known the best ways to safely invest and earn money and fame, but I’ve always acted in the opposite way from that. Money and fame is like the wind. It can appear and disappear quickly. On the other hand, wisdom is something that will always stay with me and the kids (the JYP artists). I hope that our JYP artists would grow up to be wise and experienced people rather than just being successful celebrities.
“I’m excited to see who the Wonder Girls become in 20 years. I don’t know whether or not they will still be active celebrities then, but I do know for sure that the experience they gained in the past couple years will help them become more impressive than any other celebrity out there.”
Park Jin Young concluded his message with, “In 2012, our goal is not money and not fame, but wisdom. But who knows? Perhaps money and fame will follow that wisdom. Please continue to support and encourage us.”

Date: 2012-01-02 03:33 pm (UTC)i like his thinking and i also admire the wg toughing it out. imo the only way to really make it big in an industry like america's (other than becoming a youtube success story or joining the reality talent shows) is to start from the bottom and learn and work your way up. idk if the wg will ever manage to make their way up there but i think their experiences have made them better entertainers and helped enrich their personal lives. it shows in how flawless their second album is.
as for jyp as a whole, this year was pretty good, dream high was a success, 2pm did better than the annus horribilis that was 2010 and the wg had a great comeback, miss a too (tho i think 2010 was even better for them especially because they were all nugus). looking forward to a jyp with a successful wg/am/pm/miss a. \o/

Date: 2012-01-02 05:14 pm (UTC)So true! I'm glad to see JYP has learned this lesson and that he's willing to take some risks to gain more than money and fame.

Date: 2012-01-03 06:11 am (UTC)JYP is obsessed with making it in the US. He always has been. Now that the WG are about to debut in earnest, he's protecting his pride in case this all falls flat.
