Happy birth month! Another year around the sun!
Thank you so much! I assume you knew because of my birthstone. Thank goodness my birthday is NOT today because there would be too many April Fools jokes. Speaking of which, here's my selection for seriously dark music for today (the original MV has age restrictions):
And here's my selection for something less depressing & more upbeat!

JYP Entertainment fails when it comes to solo artist
(Let me preface this by saying no hate to Nayeon, Jamie, the members of 2PM, or any other artist who’ve made solo debuts while under the company. This is 100% my own opinion and you are free to share your own, but let’s remain civil and kind <3)
In light of Nayeon’s solo debut, and her eventual first win with ‘Pop’, I felt that the song was pretty much a Twice song that she was singing alone.
Instead of branching out into a new style or genre to catch the attention of new and potential fans, I believe JYP played it safe by having Nayeon debut with a song that sounds like Twice so that Once, a fairly large and powerful fanbase, will already be behind her in terms of voting and streams. It’s an easy way of being successful without having to fight for new fan’s attention during a time where new artist are debuting every single day.
What about the other soloist? Well, considering the mismanagement done within JYP, the only thing to be said is that lack of promotions led to a dampening in the group’s overall fanbase so, once they went on to make their solo debuts, no one was actively invested.
2PM was once considered an iconic and influential group in kpop but, after years of inactivity that led to the members branching out into different fields such as acting, no one was excited for their music or seeking it.
The members of 15& are no longer under JYPE but, again, years of inactivity which led to their fanbase slowly taking away their attention from the group led to great solo debuts that received little to no attention. Even years of being away from performing on stage led people to call Jamie’s performances ‘awkward’.
Day6 is a bit more established in terms of fans but the company certainly has a bias when it comes to members, something addressed by former JYPE artist Eaj (Jae of Day6) who is doing well as a solo artist under a different label. As for the other members, their debuts had gone pretty much ignored by the media, Even of Day (Day6’s subunit consisting of Wonpil, Dowoon, and Young K) was cast aside despite being a solid and enjoyable album.
GOT7 is possibly the only group with each member having successful solo careers both prior to and after leaving the company. I feel that no explanation is necessary on this one.
I could also go into solo artist under the various sub-labels of JYPE but the gist remains that the only ones succeeding as solo artist are the ones JYP promotes heavily or the ones that have left the company for another.
I believe most of these solo artist would have a better chance as soloist if their group promotions were prioritized more during their heydays, when their fans were the most devoted and, for a company as large and affluent as JYP, it should be no problem. So why did they fail to do so?
Again, no hate to any of the artist mentioned, please stream their music if you can. Let me know if you agree or disagree and, please, be kind but speak your mind 💖
