On the most recent episode of KBS “Happy Together 3,” SPICA‘s Yang Ji Won talked about all the hardships and troubles she had to go through until she joined SPICA. She confessed, “I was a trainee for 10 years and was a member of Five Girls with G.Na, Yoobin of Wonder Girls, Uee of After School, and Hyosung of Secret.”

15& Releases First Teaser Image for Comeback

Great news for all 15& fans! Looks like they’re coming very soon!

On March 29, JYP Entertainment updated the talented duo’s official website with a teaser image. The first hint is pretty obvious to any K-Pop buff. What was one of the hottest songs in 2008? Wonder Girls’ “Nobody”! Then next line hints that the girls’ comeback track will be “Somebody,” but we might have to wait for the next teaser to see if that’s right, but the guess is very plausible.

It seems like the girls are coming back on April 7. There are three more “coming soon” boxes to the right of the first teaser hinting three more clues before the big reveal.

A few days ago, JYP Entertainment announced that they closed down a business division in the US, on the grounds of profitability. While JYP Creative‘s closure does not signal the end of JYP Entertainment (many other entertainment companies drop unprofitable acts/entities to stay fighting fit) or the complete end of their American operations (after all, the Korean BBQ restaurant is still open!), it raises many questions about the viability of K-Pop in the US and how well JYP Entertainment is doing as a business entity.
