Is JYP's new G.G heading for America?

JYP新G・Gはアメリカを目指す？

JYP mentions new girl group since TWICE + "MixNine's Shin Ryujin will be a member"

Expectations are rising as it has been announced that JYP's "promising star" Shin Ryujin (17) will be a key member of a new girl group.

Shin Ryujin will be a key member of JYP Entertainment's new girl group.

Expectations are rising even more as JYP Entertainment has been called a "prestigious girl group" with the success of "Wonder Girls", "Miss A", and "TWICE".

In addition, it is said that the other members are already talented and attractive, and there is a lot of interest.

Shin Ryujin won first place among the female contestants in JTBC's survival audition program "MIXNINE" broadcast last year.

She has been a hot topic since her debut, and is not only talented, but also has a wide range of abilities.

She has not only overwhelming charisma on stage, but also a fun energy, emerging as a dark horse.

Not only that, Shin Ryujin caught the eye of YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun-suk with her stunning stage performance.

She was praised from her first audition, and we can expect her talent to explode with her official debut.

It is natural that expectations for Shin Ryujin will lead to high expectations for the newly formed girl group.

She has already gained fans and emerged as a dark horse. She has been reported as the face of a new girl group from a prestigious girl group, so we can expect great things from her.

(From K-POP News)

Jeon Somi (17) has terminated her exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment.

Many fans will be surprised by this.

This is because Somi has been seen as JYP's favorite and is treasured by the agency.

Jeon Somi was highly praised in the survival programs "SIXTEEN" and "PRODUCE 101". In the first survival program "SIXTEEN", she was too young to join TWICE, but in the next "PRODUCE 101", she was included in the final members and achieved her dream of joining a girl group (IOI).

She also served as the center of the group, and with her impressive presence, she played a role in making the supporting cast shine.

If (IOI) had been a group of girls renewed every 7 years rather than a limited-time group, they would have been top girls with Somi at the center by now.

However, Somi today is still just a girl who dreams of joining a girl group.

And she is still only 17 years old.

Although her talent was treasured, it seems that Somi was difficult for JYP to handle.

There was no way that she, who had been active as a popular girl group, would have been satisfied with activities on variety shows and the like.

JYP was aware of this and is thought to have been planning a sister girl group of TWICE with Somi at the center.

However, the plan did not progress very well.

One reason for this could be the great success of TWICE.

It would have been reckless to launch another girl group while watching the T girls' popularity grow.

Therefore, the plan for a girl group centered around Jeon Somi was carefully planned, including considering the members.

As a result, the plan for a girl group centered around Jeon Somi may have ended up with a different version due to other circumstances.

If TWICE had remained a little smaller in scale, it would not have been surprising if a girl group centered around Jeon Somi had been launched in a hurry, following the momentum of the great success of the limited-time girl group "IOI".

But now JYP Entertainment has made a surprising announcement.

This is because Shin Ryujin was announced as one of the main members of the newly formed girl group.

I saw a video of Shin Ryujin's solo stage.

It is said that Yang Hyun-suk and Park Jin-young were impressed with her performance.

I also saw it and thought that it would not look inferior even if she was thrown into BLACKPINK.

Did Jeon Somi get cut because of the plan to focus on Shin Ryujin as the center of the girls group?

If the girls group following TWICE are not of the same style as TWICE but are closer to BLACKPINK's style, then Jeon Somi may not be needed.

Somi is an all-rounder and does not have outstanding skills in either singing or dancing.

Unless they are making an IOI-type girl group with a strong emphasis on visuals, she will definitely be a difficult member to handle because of her weak individuality.

Is Park Jin-young trying to gather members who can compete with Shin Ryujin in singing, rapping, and dancing...?

While keeping an eye on BLACKPINK and (G)I-DLE, the idea of a girl group similar to Wonder Girls comes into vague perspective.

With the success of BTS, the time is ripe, and it seems like a girl group that will avoid competition with TWICE as much as possible and aim for America again.
