On the issue of foreign members having discord within the group, Park Jin Young said, "It's trial and error. For some time now, we've trained talented Korean kids to export overseas but the next step in preparing for Hallyu has been training members from foreign countries and the process lends itself to trial and error. In the end, I think it's the most fair contract that will be sought after. Aside from contracts, it's also important that genuine communication is shared. It's a matter of human relationships so they all need to have the same end goal in mind to build a stronger relationship."

1. [+2,520, -308] But does he need to put the group through a survival... We cannot forget about the KARA Project member who commit suicide after training for five years only to be terminated of her contract with nothing to show for it. I know that forming a group through a survival earns more attention and brings more opportunity to the winning members but it's too cruel of a punishment to those that don't make it in the end...

2. [+1,725, -31] Why is JYP getting asked these questions... these questions should be aimed at SM.

3. [+787, -33] The journalist with the jab at SM ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+159, -6] The question should be directed at Lee Soo Man... foreigner discord is SM's issue, not JYP's

5. [+183, -33] JYP has Chinese and Thai members too but none have left... not one group ㅋㅋㅋ Probably because he treats them with the mindset he talked about above... SM can't even handle one from breaking out but a whole string of em... probably an issue with their contracts.

Article: "What's more important than dancing and singing is morality"... JYP's rule on picking his girl group

1. [+165, -23] YG: Is this a jab at me;;

2. [+96, -29] What is he trying to say? That the members who didn't make the cut weren't moral enough for him?

3. [+83, -22] People all change once they reach that top star spot. He won't know what people are truly like until they get there.

4. [+120, -70] Morality ㅋㅋㅋ What do you have to say about Nichkhun's drunk driving scandal?!

5. [+27, -4] I still don't get JYP. They're a huge company that I'm sure attracts just as much talent as the likes of YG but the ones they pick are always the "moral" ones or the pretty ones with a severe lack of talents as singers... I think they need to start looking at talent more.

6. [+27, -9]] It's easy to like someone if they're ugly if they can sing or dance but it's hard to like someone who's handsome but can't sing or dance. As for JYP, they pick kids who are ugly and can't sing or dance.

7. [+16, -2] Why should the most important trait in a singer be morality? No wonder Korea's music industry is in the shits... Yeah, I'm sure morality matters when all of these so called singers are basically factory punch outs that perform whatever concept they're given. All companies need is for them to be moral and not get in a scandal so they can make as much money off of them as they can, tsk tsk.
