An Insane Deep Dive Into JYP's Music Career 

You know JYP reminds me of the Uncle in the family who comes to the family reunion because everyone knows him and cannot wait to see what he's going to do this time. He doesn't care what anyone thinks he's going to show up and show out. But we still love him just the same.

Sorry this video even existing is so funny. I was cringing so hard at JYP’s recent live performance on the Blue Dragon Awards. That being said, this man knows what he’s doing. He knows he’s a meme, and he owns it! He hasn’t really been the greatest CEO, but he really does TRULY know what he’s doing. Oh JYP… you’re really an enigma. 😂

Yes JYP does weird performances but never forget all the iconic groups like wonder girls, miss a, got7, twice, itzy, straykids that we got to see today is just because of JYP. He has not just created the iconic groups but also has written so many songs for their artists which are such a masterpiece. So overall he has my respect.

people always talk about his performances for weeks after they happen, the man KNOWS what he's doing

Well, no one ever accused him of not being entertaining. 😅 He knows what he's doing.

JYP absolutely knows that getting dressed in a basic suit and doing a ballad would give him a round of applause, but no memorability. The man isn't delusional -- he knows that being strange and making some of the audience uncomfortable makes people pay attention.

Lets all appreciate jyp success, not every one outside their can go through what he went through to create his label, i salute jyp irrespective of any slush that comes his way. I stand with jyp.

It's just unfortunate that K-Pop overly obsesses over casually attractive looks and gender conformative performances. I love NewJeans and the new generation too, but seeing them getting so much praise at such a young age that they probably don't even understand the scale of what they do and then this man who built himself from the ground up put his heart out and be ridicularized like that made me feel bad. People aren't truly looking for just art and entertainment. We are intoxicated by an ageist beauty cult.

That’s what I admire about jyp. He does what he likes despite people’s eyes. I like this part of him. And I respect that.

I dunno. I think it’s admirable for someone to continue to perform how he does without giving a single bother about what anyone says or thinks. I can’t help but think if he were 20-30 years younger, we would even be calling his performances “weird” or “cringy”. We all have to acknowledge that ageism is rampant in KPop. People shouldn’t have to tone themselves down or change themselves just because society made a stupid, arbitrary rule saying people of a certain age shouldn’t behave or dress a certain way. It’s certainly worse for women, but men face ageism too. Let the guy do what he wants. If he’s having fun and not hurting himself or other people, there’s really no harm in how he performs.

The thing about JYP, you know when he's performing, it'll be UNFORGETTABLE

You guys can say what you want, I'm solidly behind him😂 I wish I had his confidence😅😂 Go JYP!💪🏾

Idk whether he looked old then or young now, he's just never looked any different 😮

Korea can complain but ME..I LOVE IT. COME THROUGH KOREAN GAGA COME THROUGH. WE LOVE A SECURE MAN IN MUSIC

JYP has had some weird performances but overall, he's amazing!

Most of the criticism is ageist AF... if it's a younger idol doing weird shit it's brushed off as "unique" or "artistic". But since it's JYP people say it's "ridiculous". Let him be ffs. All idols have had bad performances, why can't he

JYP is a very smart man and he's at the point in his life where he stopped caring what the rest of the industry thinks of him forever ago. Dude is a cringe meme and he owns it. I also think with the Blue Dragon performance he intentionally trolled them because it's a black-tie event and we all know how boring those are. Plus you gotta give credit to a guy in his 50's who can dance like he's still in his 20's. He can laugh at himself and knows how to make an impression.

This generation of stans are kids. Age wise and mentally. No one cares about their feelings. Jyp is a legend and I'm glad to see him doing him, regardless of age If he was American, none of this would be a problem. Korea clearly had no problem with him having a long lived career I'm tired of people acting like HUMANS are supposed to act accordingly, depending on where they're from. Humans like what they like and will do what makes them happy. As long as it's not illegal, people should stop crying

I love this man so damn much. Ppl are so mean to him judging his performances- when are they going to realize he’s giving us GOLD and we need to be nice

#JYPDaddy is the Icon the world didn’t ask for or needed …. He is the legend we deserved !!!!

His performances have not been extremely weird, or even weird. His last act isn’t even original since he was wearing a gown inspired heavily by Billie Porter. I did laugh at him to start with. But then, I come to admire him. Both JYP and Bang PD are obviously smart men. He is not ridiculous. He is brave and he pushed boundaries. Unlike one of his idols Rain, he is no longer CEO now and can do whatever he wants. If he can just have a good song.

For me JYP is the only idol that doing REAL ENTERTAINMENT Cuz 4generation in idol not that entertaining anymore so I think JYP deserve his popularity and respect

Unpopular opinion: This guy's awesome! No JYP = no Twice, Itzy, Stray Kids, etc.

He really is talented and I admire his confidence

"leading to fans not taking him as seriously as he would have liked" I question the validity of this statement. I think JYP's a clown, and he knows it. He's never been shy about allowing his groups to make fun of him publicly (see 2PM, Sunmi, TWICE) and joking with them. Dude is a born entertainer and having a sense of humor is *gasp* part of being entertaining. I think the only people who take JYP too seriously are his antis. He's an easy target. Like consider how resilient you'd have to be to make it as a not conventionally attractive person in the K-pop. JYP took his weakness as an "ugly" artist and used it to his advantage to become a K-pop jester of sorts. At the same time, he's undeniably one of the biggest names in the industry while his antics give haters a sense of superiority. His performances are cringe but everyone's talking about them. Isn't that the definition of fame?

It keeps his name in the loop! It’s working just as expected! Keep up the great work JYP 🔥🔥🤩🤩🤩👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Oh, come on! Complaining about JYP being outrageous is like complaining about outrageous behavior from Lady Gaga, David Bowie or Elton John. ... Yeah, he's crazy. Always has been. Yeah, he does weird stuff. He always has. And, BTW, Sunyoung's jaw may have dropped at that moment, but she was also later seen totally loving the performance!

No one can top JYPs Confidence thats for sure and thats what i love about him😁😁😁

he is the icon, he is the legend, he is the moment now come on now

Love him or not…. You gotta respect this man 🥂🥂

Weird or not. He has confidence to do what he wants. He knows ppl makes fun of him, still he does it.

Not gonna lie…I kinda love the man 😂,he’s talented ,works hard,and slays.He owns it 🤷‍♀️

If JYP didn’t exist, you wouldn’t get the amazing groups like stray kids, twice, Itzy, nmixx, got7, miss a, wonder girls and many more.

He's a legend

Hey, as long as he's happy, i dont care what people think of him.

I actually envy him because of his confidence. This man is living his life without thinking what others would say! That's confidence right there!

I really think he made mistakes, but this guy is a living legend. He is hilarious and I cringe so hard watching his performances, but at the same time it makes me laugh and that leads to me being happy. Thanks Jyp❤️

New generation kpop, can't comprehend what true talent is.

Because of the artist he has on the walls of his building, I respect JYP

Ok so JYP is indeed a very... special dude but honestly it's refreshing to see him vibing and doing his own thing when kpop is so rigid with rules. Some fun flexibility is needed at times.

LMAO I was juat watching his performance at the award show. Perfect timing lol

I want the confidence that JYPapi exudes!!

atleast he's SINGING LIVE! most of the idols today lipsync or can't even sing.

I like, JYP a very solid human being helps the artists at JYPE good person been doing this for 30 years ❤❤❤

I kinda respect him more for being this ridiculously cringe 😂 I think it’s a good way of continuation of breaking the boundaries of k-pop. People are so serious about everything nowadays ( And sometimes it doesn’t leave a place for fun and doesn’t make idols’ lives easier. But we need to remember that it’s an entertainment industry! So let’s have fun and cringe 💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

At this point idk how tf how I feel about JYP, his career has been all over the place. He has insane confidence, knows the industry, has influenced ripples that have effected the very foundations of kpop. But he also refuses to leave the stage without being "different" and has made some questionable decisions as a boss. He seems both fun loving and silly but also seems to make some ridiculous demands and is cringey. I seriously don't know how to feel about this guy!

Please for the love of kpop… don’t let JYP end up being a rock spider. He’s great with his artists, please we can just have one good-guy entertainment ceo.

I agree. Whats the point of this video again? Maybe the MZ would laugh at him but all that aside they would remember him as well. As you know in kpop visibility is the one most important thing to do either negative or positive, visibility is still the best thing to do to thrive in the industry. And for someone of his stature i dont think he would mind the negativity for him i think is that he express what he wanted to do. So in the end he is happy to do things he like may it be at the cost of his legacy or not. Again my question, what is again the point of the video? If you have an answer to this question you are probably bother by jyp's eccentricity. If you dont have an answer that means you accept that anyone can express his or her feelings without fear and you can always dont mind the public and their critique of everything and anything simply because theyre hiding at the guise of their keyboard.

All jokes aside, after that performance I found a clip from a few years ago with Hyolin having a sexy performance at a similar event, if not the same event, and the actors reactions were the same as now. And let's be serious if we look to the Western Music market we will see even older people than him making much crazier performances

the story behind his plastic pants is fascinating to me. He was trying to encourage change to the system. No glasses, no hair dye? WTF? Kudos to JYP to speak out at a time when he's probably got banned for it

He just dgaf 😭 respect lmao

Jyp paved the way for kpop. Facts....❤

he seems like a fascinating oddball.

Icon. His NMIXX “Love Me Like This” dance challenge lives rent free in my head. 😂🕺💥

His style is too Hollywood. In Korea they find him weird, but in USA that would be just so normal.

I bet if jyp was "attractive" in the same sense as most idols people would call what he is doing art. Lets be real he is doing art that quite frankly nobody would ever think of beacause they wanna stay and look "pretty" sometimes its good to get down and dirty every once in a while

At least he's creative. And still gets attention. Its not easy to stay relevant for so long.

jyp came from a time when kpop was interesting, look at the outfits they wore, even up to the time of big bang, now it's like kpop is going conservative, and fans judge artists who look "extreme" negatively, it became really lame

Don’t you guys get it??? He’s doing an Andy Kaufman on the K-Pop industry!!! Genius!!!!

I don't understand why kpop fans get so serious and riled up over this. Kpop is supposed to be fun, and he's out here trying to bring fun and spontaneity back to the scene.

i have no idea if jyp is a good person behind closed doors but he seems like it and i feel like we don’t see a lot of good people in kpop production

Crazy or not, I am a Forever JYP fan!!!❤❤

I agree with your post

As cringe as he may appear sometimes you can't deny that man HAS TALENT. Like he has left an unremoval mark on the kpop industry and is a respected figure. But tbh THE CHILDHOOD PHOTO OF HIM HE LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME LMFAOOOOOO ITS LIKE HIS BODY GREW BUT HE'S FACE GOT STUCK IN TIME. I was laughed so hard my fianceé came to check on me and laughed her ass off too

Netizens and those actors don't know what ironic glam and funny shameless performances are and it shows. JYP is iconic.

Good for him!

I recently discovered JYP. I am definitely a new fan now. I love his two songs At The Disco and I'm a Changed Man along with his choreography. He is very innovative and talented. I enjoy his different ways very much. Some people are stuck in their boring lane and won't change or experience new things.

The problem is not with Jyp performance but the audience's reaction. All of them acted like they were on a governmental occasion so cringe! He will be much appreciated in the western. Even I'm not a fan of him, but can't tolerate such a weird reaction!

i stan jyp but i only stan him because of the memes😂

The biggest question is why did he eliminate Sean from Nizi 2 when he praised him the whole time for being idol-level and with immense star quality but because he, in his eyes, was a second off from the other performers when dancing he’s cut? Make it make sense JYP #IYKYK

Let him be. We need all sorts in the world. In the West his performance would’ve been greatly appreciated, for us it’s not about the perfect choreographed performance, it’s about expressing yourself 😂

I guess the performances look weird to Asian audiences, but a western audience they look fine. The transparent jumpsuit is 🔥🔥🔥

It’s called TALENT!!

He's a man doing what he wants, because he can, have fun and enjoys it. I applaud that. I kindda envy the guy.

Reminds me of the VINE THEY WERE ROOMATES

Jyp is a king😭👑he dgaf

I want his confidence

JYP knows how to market himself and his groups indefinitely longer than it should be or as fans should expect to be and I really applaud him for that❤

I see him as doing all of this to help promote JYP, the company. There's always something to talk about with that bunch. He's like VCHA is gonna debut and NMIXX is dropping an album, time to wear eyeliner 😅

JYP is That Guy

The thumbnail said everything🙃

He is just having fun and doesn't care what anyone else thinks.

JYP has become a meme! When did it happen? Probably when he appeared out of nowhere in the middle of 2pm' new year performance. I hope he keeps doing whatever he's doing 😹

He's sexy, funny and iconic. The perfect entretainer and daddy

JYP is really not the best artist but he’s definitely one of the most iconic/meme worthy. 🤣 Also he’s probably my fave big 4 company CEO, in that he’s the right amount of closeness with his artist, hands on the artists works, and also not letting their trainees be limited by their looks. I think his and Bang PDs experience as artists definitely shaped how they ran their company - integrity, to concentrate on hard work, slowly but surely, humility, and to show their passion in all their performances. Bang PD is my second fave company CEO/exCEO next to JYP.

We're living in his world. We just haven't accepted it lol

As a 2nd gen fan he gets so much respect from me but his recent years performances are not what I expect from him. The way he used to expect perfection in his artists I expect close to that from him too.

I think he is iconic PERIOD. If some people are bigots, worse for them

The fact he managed to create a label back when SMTown was firmly in place and did it say YG was already in place? If it was that is all the more impressive he is a mainstay as a big record label being that late. I am a fan of his stuff. I like "Honey" and "Swing Baby" and "A Prison Without Bars" plus the song he did with Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" riff. I have to say I think the "Honey" dance is cheesy though, sorry Park Jin Young. I also respect the man for still hustling and trying to create new stuff even when they try age shaming him. The same respect extends to him being the ONLY label to serve his trainees Organic, no GMO's or anything to make people sick. If I had a kid who wants to do music in South Korea, Park Jin Young would be the only choice because of this unless the others change their food accordingly. I have to call him out on canning Park Jiyoon though seeing those pants. When did JiYoon cross the line or was he being sexist and expecting different standards for her over him? By the way, the music video for "Sung In Suk" is brilliant and fits the lyrics while being subtle though likely not for the Asian audience.

THEY WERE ROOMATES :0

Kyungsoo ❤

He looks like everyone’s crazy uncle. Like, Oh-Kaaaaay….

After watching how sweet and encouraging he was with the girls in A2K, I’ve changed my mind about him. Prior to that I thought he was an ego-maniac, and while that might be true in part, I kind of love how he doesn’t take himself seriously. He’s breaking Korean beauty standards, challenging some of the more restrictive and illogical social rules, and having a blast in the process. All while being the force behind some of the most important acts in K-pop. Icon.

At times I really don't like JYP and his attitude towards trainees and hopefuls (criticizing Rain for his looks and telling a girl that her dancing would be better if she lost weight) but then I remember he wrote Feel Special for Sana.

i only foun him funny but inspiring and smart

That fade though got the same hair when I was younger 2:07

He's the Korean Tomny Wiseau!😂

01:18 correction, that was not "another version of the story" that was just self-defense on part of Lee So Man, because everyone in Korea knows that the original story was what Lee So Man only wanted to buy his song "Don't Leave Me" and not him, there was even a KBS show where in a segment the host said "what did Lee So Man say to JYP when he auditioned for SM?" and the audience of guests literally responded "you are not accepted but can i buy your song?", then the host reported that JYP said "it is not for sale" and left.

idk why but jyp is the uncle to everyone he is so funny😂😂it’s lightning my mood every time i watch jyp memes idk he’s confident is so high and that i find it very funny and quirky again i have love and hate towards jyp😂❤️❤️

sweet dreams are made of these
