1. [+166, -66] I personally like Park Jin Young because I never got the impression that he's in this business for purely money alone. Even if he gets hate, he continues to work towards what he sets his mind to. He doesn't seem to be driven by money.

2. [+106, -19] I think the question 'What would've happened if the Wonder Girls stayed in Korea and never went to America' will always linger in our minds. When I was in the army, SNSD was a total rookie while 'Tell Me' was a national hit with so many parody videos and talent show covers... I'm not putting down JYP for taking a chance but it's hard for me to understand why he chose the time when Hallyu was at its height to send them to America...

3. [+78, -31] While watching Akdong Musician, I think Park Jin Young deserves more credit than he gets. I remember when Park Jin Young first debuted, when he was dancing with that scarf on while sweating bullets... How many great songs did he write at such a young age? Making songs is truly his forte... especially songs like "Behind You"

3. [+21, -2] The first best reply is hilarious ㅋㅋ He's running a business, one that has employees. If he isn't driven by profit, then does he expect his employees to starve? At least SM and YG makes sure that there's a profit before investing in new areas... Park Jin Young is just throwing money into what HE wants to do while his own artists have to cut back and not do what they want, which is simultaneously ruining the company business tsk tsk

4. [+21, -2] JYP has barely put out any albums lately and Nichkhun caused a scandal so they're living off of Suzy at this point... Considering another American advancement would be suicide. He'd be lucky if he can resurrect the careers of the artists he has now but instead he's wasting resources on obsessing over Bang Yedam ㅎㅎㅎ JYP, your future seems dark...

5. [+16, -1] I don't hate Park Jin Young as a person but he's weird. He said so himself that he couldn't help Park Jimin with her debut because he went on vacation... How can he call that an excuse? He took a talented young girl, the winner of an audition, and did what with her? She put her life on the line for that album... I also feel that he used the Wonder Girls for his own selfish American dream. He just has too much greed to be able to divide his attention between his artists. The thing is, it's fine if he risks everything for his dreams and he's the only one that loses out, but he ruins the life of his juniors along with him. Stop using what others are putting their lives on the line for for his own selfish dreams and desires. It's irresponsible. What the hell is even going on with G-Soul?

6. [+14, -6] I'm not Park Jin Young's fan or anti, but I  think the people who are putting him down for advancing into America should question whether they ever passionately worked half as hard as he did for their own dreams.

7. [+14, -10] People keep calling Suzy the breadwinner but I heard that 2PM is really popular in Japan ㅋ My little sister is studying abroad in Japan and she said 2PM and Big Bang are really popular.

8. [+13, -9] I wonder if the people hating on him for his American dream ever had a dream as passionate as his? It's upsetting that the Wonder Girls failed for his American dream but I think I'd risk everything to try it out as well. I trust that Park Jin Young will achieve something soon.

9. [+12, -4]
J = Even if he dies (jukeodo)
Y = Yedam
P = fan (ppa)
JYP has to make sure he can advance Yedam into America, bbuing bbuing

10. [+11, -3] Personally, it's disappointing that JJ Project, 15&, JOO, San. E, and Baek Ah Yeon can't promote as often but I think it's good that the artists aren't being run to death by the company for money

11. [+9, -1] Even 2AM... after their first comeback in a year, failed to garner a response and left after just three weeks...
