SBS ‘K-Pop Star‘ winner Park Ji Min has decided to sign with JYP Entertainment.

On May 21st, SBS stated, “Park Ji Min has signed an exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment, and will be preparing for a debut album in the near future.”


“SM, YG, and JYP Entertainment all prioritized the successful debut and career of the ‘K-Pop Star’ winner, and all three agencies have spoken in detail with Park Ji Min about her future,” they continued. “Taking into consideration the kind of music she would like to pursue, it has been decided that she would debut with JYP Entertainment.”

Park Ji Min remarked, “My heart races when I simply hear the names of the three agencies, and the fact that I am able to enter one of them is so surreal. I am glad I will be able to receive the meticulous guidance of judge J.Y. Park, and I will learn everything I can in order to show you a much more developed side of myself.”

SBS continued, “Lee Ha Yi who competed for the top spot with Park Ji Min, along with Baek Ah Yeon and the rest of the Top 10 and even the hopefuls that were cut before, are all receiving numerous love calls. This audition program will give birth to more new stars than any before it in history.”

Meanwhile, the ‘K-Pop Star’ representatives are carefully preparing for Season 2, scheduled to broadcast sometime this November.

Pretty sure this is why. It's really beneficial/a good learning experience to be mentored/in the company of someone who is still pursuing music and thus has a greater understanding of artistry, stage dynamics and generally what being a musician entails. YG and SM higher-ups are a lot more removed from that aspect, I think.

her style fits the best with JYPE imo. It'd be awesome if she was YGE but I don't think they'd know what to with her (ala May Doni)

Holy crap! Is she still with YG? Maybe she's in that new group?

May Doni left YGE a long time ago. Don't know her current whereabouts.

Interesting, given that JYPE was the company that most people were hoping she wouldn't pick, lol. I thought she seemed to lean towards SM and YG throughout the show too, but I'm sure she'll do fine wherever. I wonder how soon we can expect her formal debut and how that affects JYPE's other plans, if at all.

I hope the information about which companies the other contestants were picked up by is released soon, I'm especially curious about Baek Ahyeon and Lee Hayi and Park Jaehyung, who was my favorite male contestant.

Yeah, she did seem to favor SM throughout her run on the show.

They both signed with JYPE! It'll be interesting to see which five YG wants, I feel like Lee Hayi and Lee Seunghoon are very possible signings for them.

Park Jaehyung's my favourite male contestant too! :)
He and Baek Ahyeon both signed with JYP too.

I love his voice! The timbre is so lovely. And I'm glad to see he's been signed! I was crossing my fingers for him. I wonder what type of music he'll come out with, hope he keeps up with the guitar playing.

yeah me too! i was really sad when he was eliminated D:
JYP better not take his guitar away from him and let him debut in an idol group!!

congrats to her, and i am really interested in what kind of music style she'll pursue.

Semi-surprised - I couldn't decided if she was going to go JYP or SM. I had a feeling she wouldn't pick YG. She seemed super uncomfortable performing with GD&Top and her style of singing doesn't really fit there.
I think she'll probably be transferred to BigHit and work with Bang Shi-hyuk as opposed to regular JYP.
Anyway welcome to JYP nation. Maybe I'll see you when that promised tour comes to America

Good for her! JYP is a great company with a great lead. I'm glad she didn't pick YG or SM tbh because SM treats their artists like shit and YG is too limited to Hip-hop/R&B/electronic.

I was hoping she'd join YG but JYP is also a good fit. Good for her!

JYP must be happy as fuck with this after losing ppl like IU and Hyorin lol lets see if he can promote her well and give her good material.

From: [identity profile] aleexnews.livejournal.com
Now that she's the winner she could sell better though and if he promotes her correctly even more so. I'm sure he's happy regardless of whether she was his favorite or not though because of her obvious talent and ia, with Lee Ya Hee he probably would faint lol

jyp never seemed to care about losing hyorin tbh, iu yes, but hyorin he never demonstrated anything in relation to that.

just bc he's never shown it doesnt mean he doesnt feel it. shes so successful now and known for her voice there's not a doubt he knows he missed a chance now. 2am said he regrets letting go of all the successful ppl he let go

I know why she did it, the style of jyp music is closer to her, right. And I love everything jyp produces, no complaints, but he's so bad at management. It's like he has lots of wonderful ideas that would sell, but he isn't patient enough to sit them through. with jyp I have always a feeling like he forgot about all of his talents except for one he promotes now. and his own career, imo, is higher priority for him right now. I love jyp, I do, I suffered through dream high 2 partly out of love to him, but as a manager he sucks.
I know It's a common place to shit on sme management, but I think their bad managment is so much better than crazy randomness of jyp. so even if I get her choice I don't really think it was wise.

Yes I understand what you mean, if he learns how to control their activities (maybe use different songwriters, come on...) all his artistes can be bigger and I love JYP Nation the most because of how candid they all are. like their personalities shine a lot.

I love Yg family the best, but I am one of those girls who loves kpop in general and hates all the wank) I have lots of feelings for jyp nation, miss a is like ideal girls band for me now, and oh my, who doesn't love one day? And stop me when I start rambling about awesomness of the last wg album. I'll never stop listening to it. It's just, jyp, do your work properly!!!!!!! It looks like It's not serious enough for him, and if I were an idol wannabe, I'd love to choose an agency that takes my career seriously.

also, he's good at bringing out the best in a singer's voice and the songs he produces reflects on that.
