JJ Project

May 20, 2012 02:08 am

Earlier, JYP Entertainment had released a new mysterious teaser, informing the public on an upcoming group ?JJ Project?. Although many had already assumed JJ to stand for JB and Jr., the details had not been confirmed until now.

JJ Project indeed is composed of members JB (Lim Jae Beom) and Jr. (Park Jin Young), who were both accepted as JYP trainees in 2009 through JYP?s 5th audition. The two then made their debut in the popular KBS drama ?Dream High 2?, familiarizing themselves to the public.

Born in 1994, JB played the leader of boy band in the drama, showing off his powerful dance skills. On the otherhand, JR, who is currently attending Gyeonggi High School, played the role of JB?s backdancer, Jung Eui Bong. Jr. was given his stage name due to the fact that his full name, Park Jin Young, is the same as J.Y. Park?s, which had resulted in his nickname of ?Park Jin Young Jr.?

A representative of JYP Entertainment stated, ?We believe JYP Entertainment?s new project JJ will be the most pleasant and exciting project that JYP has ever done. Please continue to look forward to JYP?s ?jackpot? JJ Project.?

JJ Project's first MV - Bounce

I definitely liked JR in Dream High 2 and JB grew on me as the drama progressed.

I didn't say am crazy about the video. I'm not feeling it to be honest. I just made the thread because JR and JB are familar faces to a lot of people here.

To me it seems like JYPE is trying way to hard to get a new group going. I think this is something we will see a lot of in the future as companies compete to get new groups going every year. They are going to load the market with mediocre talents. BAP has been the only new group that I have really liked that debuted this year. EXO put out so many teasers that I was not even interested by the time they did debut.

But that aside here is JJ Project for all to discuss :)

i dont know what thye're called but i've seen them in kpop alot lately. i cant remember all of them, but i know i saw them in EXO K's "mama" video.

aside from ridiculous pants and a video that's not far behind, the song's alright. it's got a little multiple personality disorder baaaad but they have pontential.

in all honesty though it's going to be a while before any new group is able to crawl out from under the monster that was the debut of B.A.P. you've heard the expression "to come out swinging." B.A.P came out swinging a friggin chain saw.
