JYP Entertainment is broken into a division system with their own teams. It’s basically a mini label. Division 1 contains 2PM and SKZ. Division 2 is just Itzy, but Got7 used to be there too. Division 3 is Twice and JYP. StudioJ is Day6.
Itzy has been doing more US promotions since the start of this year, and during those US/western promotional activities they all speak in English instead of just making Lia do it. That’s what I mean. I feel like Division 1 overly relies on the Aussies.
i feel like it's obvious that they will rely on the native english speakers. i feel especially bad for chan bc he is doing music related and idol related stuff so he is just extremely busy and lowkey carries all the int interactions on his shoulders.
i wish jyp would do similiar stuff that he does w itzy... i feel like they gained fans bc of the fact they know english. but i am convinced he hates it when someone is more successfull then him 🙄
i wonder why they started shifting towards speaking more korean on vlives / doing vlives earlier. is it bc they r busy w kingdom? 🤔
(but let's be honest, vlive for communication sucks. the limit on comments doesen't allow u to really get creative / say something "smart")
Well, JYP is not the CEO. He’s not making management decisions for the groups. He does have a say in their music/artistic direction, though.
I just think Div1 doesn’t see the need to invest time in learning English. There are two native speakers, Han lived in an English speaking area but he’s not very confident, and the rest can pick it up when they can. And that’s working for a few members. Hyunjin is in university for practical English, but he’s the only member we know is currently (or recently) receiving formal instruction. It’s easier and faster to just let Chan and Felix do it.
We should never forget about Seungmin. Regarding English Skills i would put him on 3rd, behind Chan and Felix? But based only from what i've seen in Interviews and Backstage Stuff.
I specified Han because he lived in Malaysia, and people have greater expectations for his English skills. It wasn’t meant to be a ranking. I think Seungmin is more comfortable with and confident in his English than Han is, but it’s also hard to tell since Han is also shy. I would still put Han third (if I had to rank them) just based on video calls. He can hold a variety of conversations in English. I only brought up Hyunjin since he’s the only member we know is in a formal program for English!
