JYP Entertainment might have produced top stars like G.O.D, K.Will, Rain, 2PM,
Wonder Girls, 2AM, miss A and rookie JJ Project and
15&, but JYP entertainment also have they own black secret which people
called JYP stupidity for letting them go.
JYP
has some talented youths who had either failed to pass JYP auditions, or were
former JYP trainees who failed to debut. But whose know some of this
talented trainess successfully debut at other company and becoming Korea’s
biggest idols today top star, raising star and even a world star
IU
IU
previously participated in the 2008 JYP Auditions. In her audition video, IU
was seen singing “So Much Love, So Much Laughter” by The Bubble Sisters. Unfortunately
she got eliminated in the end. Even though being rejected by JYPE, IU
successfully debut and become famous in instance, won many
award and even gain Korea little sister title. But competition still a competition right?

made to move on to the final round of auditions but had eliminated. She was
then accepted into DSP Media and debuted through KARA,

BEAST’s KiKwang, Yoseob, Doojon, Dongwoon
As for BEAST’s Lee Ki-kwang, he had formerly
been a top trainee at JYPE for 4 years before transferring to CUBE
Entertainment. He supposed to be debut in 2AM group but got cancelled because
of Wonder Girls debut. Since then he never debuted because Park Jin-young
believed he was over-confident and too satisfied with his own abilities to
improve. JYP thinks it’s a bad behavior to become an idol because he has no
passion to improve their self. Later then he debut as a solo singer known as AJ
before debuted as BEAST member. 
As for BEAST’s
Yoseob, he also trainee under JYP Entertainment but left after receiving a bad grade from
practice reviews.
Doojon then became a trainee of JYP Entertainment
and was featured in the Mnet documentary Hot Blooded Men, a reality
program that shows the preparation for their debut, with 2AM and 2PM, but he was eliminated along the
course of the show. Dong Woon
also was a trainee from JYP Entertainment
for 2 years before transferring to CUBE Entertainment.

SISTAR’s Hyolin
Hyolyn auditioned for JYPE two times,
and was finally accepted at the second try placing 1st place at the audition.
She was set to debut in a project group withSecret's Jieun and EXID's Yuji but plans fell. Hyolyn then left JYPE and joined Starship Entertainment, auditioning with a cover of Christina Aguilera's Hurt. But JYP never forgot about her when she got cast at JYP drama production named Dream High. Same as IU.
Secret’s Song Jieun
She
auditioned for JYP Entertainment at an early age. While in JYP
Entertainment, she sang OSTs of Korean dramas in 2007 and 2008. Under JYP Entertainment, she was set
off to debut as a three member girl group with Sistar's Hyorin and EXID's Yuji but some issues came up which
led they being unable to debut together and instead, all of them debuting with
separate groups. Jieun then left JYP Entertainment and
joined TS Entertainment, where she finally debuted as a part of a girl group, Secret.

left.

Conclusion for this post
is, JYP is a platform to become and idol. People might say JYP so stupid for
letting this talented go but we didn’t know what happened inside JYP. Besides,
some of trainee left after they didn’t debut got cancelled like, JIEUn, Hyolin,
Kikwang,Yuji and Doo Joon. They might felt disappointed and searching for other
company to cure their heartbreaker [Just joking]. But JYP didn’t treat them
badly when he gave JIEUN a chance to sing an OST which very hard to get if they
not a well-known artist. In other hand, with financial crisis that JYPE had due
to other sue causing some trainee debut cancelled. We need to think positive
here. We cannot blame JYP for everything but thanks him for polishing their
talent and found the hidden star then trained them and giving them an
unforgettable experience and make their opportunity to become an idol really
big. Let’s think back, if they don’t become JYP trainee will other companies
take a look at them or their talent? Will they become somebody? Or reaching
their dream to become true? Besides, competition is still competition and there will be only one winner.
But people have
different idea right. Some of Kpop fans say JYPENT stupid but I’ll say JYP is a
platform to become an idol^^
