Question #6
K-Pop Audition/Trainee QuestionsSorry I haven't updated lately ~A~ School has been pretty stressful, but anyway, without futher ado.....Today's question is "How is jyp trainee system?"
Most training systems are relatively the same: you train in everything, all sorts of things such as vocals, dance, acting, image, and all that jazz. There isn't really something that makes JYP jump out -- other than the fact that JYP tends to favor dance and acrobatics in their auditions as opposed to other companies. I heard rumors that early trainings are done co-ed (opposed to the typical gender split) as ex-JYP trainee Don Lee had previously stated that he had a dance class with Suzy before. Thus, I assume that early training classes (as the classes you take when you first get into the company) will most-likely be co-ed. However, it could have changed from when he was a trainee and now.
One interesting thing about JYP is that there are a lot of JYP trainees that go to Cube and vice versa and it seems sometimes they have trainee trades and that trainees from both companies are rather close.
Another thing about JYP that seems needed to note is that I think JYP is rather ambitious to spread his group overseas, in other countries. Therefore, I think those of other ethnicities (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc) have a higher advantage there then they do at other companies.
Other than that, I don't think there is something more unique to JYP (in terms of their training system as most companies' training system are virtually the same...) but I, of course, am not at liberty to say anything. :3
Though, check this video out. This guy (ex-JYP trainee Don Lee) talks a little bit about his training period and such. Those who want to audition for JYP should definately check this out!!!
