JYP reveals they won't debut idols without foreign language certifications

Article: JYP Entertainment claims they won't debut idols without passing foreign language certifications even if they have perfect singing and dancing

1. [+403] Please worry about your singers' singing skills instead of their foreign language skills 😩

2. [+232] But even if people get these certifications, it doesn't guarantee that you can speak a foreign language ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+155] How about you worry about Twice's singing first..

4. [+81] Oh, so is that why..

5. [+81] Singing practice should be a higher priority... ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+25] They always fixate on the weirdest stuff

7. [+23] This is all just for image making

8. [+65] What's their purpose here? To train singers or prodigies?

9. [+11] All JYP has on their mind right now is international advancements. And every single time, it reminds me of what happened to the Wonder Girls and I feel so bad. JYP seems to view themselves as parents to these idols, the kind that is super strict and forces their kids to study all the time. It's great if the kid turns out successful but I can see it being tiring for their idols since they're never able to accomplish other smaller things in life.

10. [+4] Well, it's not like idols last forever... it's not bad to have certifications like this for the future.

11. [+68] JYP's always screaming about how important character is so then why are they choosing to cover for their male idol members with school bullying scandals?

12. [+2] Ah, so is that why they've debuted idols who can't sing or dance but only speak a foreign language?
