The curious case of Lee MinYoung

[greywing]

This is a post about Lee MinYoung, a.k.a. JYP's Min, a.k.a. the trainee/artist whose continued existence in JYP seems to be questionable. (Among the "Former" artists listed on JYP's wiki page, there's a "Min": Lee MinYoung?) I think anyone who's seen the Little Winners performance would be as curious to know where Min is today as they would be

ahh yes what I wouldn't give to see a dance battle between these two again.
I think their dancing is hard to compare for me cos each one stands they both have different strengths. Like in the actual performance video, although Min locks and hits the moves harder, I like Hyo's flow and flexibility.

And yeah, its sad that she's no longer on the radar cos the beginnings looked so promising.It's interesting now that you mention it that JYP only talks about G-soul and J Lim's American debuts not going as successfully as planned and no mention of Min when I would argue that she was definitely the most hyped about from the three with Lil Wayne (was it? I forget!) who was supposed to mentor her.
I also wish they had focused on debuting her in Korea first.. then we'd have another set of BFFs in the K-pop scene.. I love love love celebrity friendships^^ HyukSu/G-bae/SunyeJokwon/Jung IlWoo,Lee Minho :)

Miiiiiiiin. Go dance with your unnie (I wonder if she calls Hyo that). Go drag her out to the clubs. With Gina. And invite Nicole. You can take Park KiJun along too so that you can have a guy around.
I really wonder if they do!! haha Recently Teukkie and the Shinee boys(including Minho who's still not legal!) were spotted at a club in Hongdae and I saw Shindong at another one last month.JaeWon now DJs at a club, JunYoung/Ricky Yoochun and friends have also been spotted around bars in Hongdae/Apgujeong.... but for Hyo, most likely not. I think SM is more strict with their female artistes..then again, i didn't even expect any of the boys to be allowed out so maybe, they can do it in secret?!? keke

I think if Hyo and Min had a straight up, down and dirty hip-hop battle right now, Min would take it. I think Min has a broader freestyling sense than Hyo does (and I think Hyo is the best SNSD freestyler).

Lil Wayne (was it? I forget!)

Lil' Jon. I honestly have no idea who he is, though, so if you had told me Lil' Wayne, it wouldn't have made much difference in my mind.

I saw Shindong at another one last month.

. . . This sounds like an interesting story.

One of Minwoo's stories on SGB was about he and the Shinhwa boys coincidentally running into SES members at a club, lol. Considering that KangIn had all those drinking incidents, I'm not surprised to hear that the members get out and party. Yet the lack of SNSD rumors makes me suspect that the girls don't club it up; the thought always makes me sad because I'm sure they'd be a riot, tipsy or sober. It's not like they haven't been to a club--they hit one up for work in "Factory Girl"!

Shindong was really chill and cute.. I felt a little bad for him cos he was just watching from above..I bet he wanted to just be able to dance and hang out with his friends freely.Luckily there were no crazy fangirls around (except me and my friends :D but I'm more of an observer. Every time I get to see my favourites up close I kinda freeze and act all non fangirly haha)

Minwoo's story..haha I hadn't heard about that before!! That's cool, considering that SM apparently controlled their girl groups even more strictly in the past..i guess there are ways to work around it ;)

Yet the lack of SNSD rumors makes me suspect that the girls don't club it up; the thought always makes me sad because I'm sure they'd be a riot, tipsy or sober.
hehe yes and quite a few of the members seem to enjoy drinking :D.. Fany, Hyo..Sica(?)

oh and Jun Young left Hyo another msg(i<3u) keke.
It says, "You broke the promise!!!!"
In another sense it could also mean "You broke our appointment!!!!"
hehe even if it's nothing, it makes me smile :P

And I swear I'm NOT a stalker but while I was clicking around I noticed that
- Kyung Rae is friends with both Jun Young and Hyo (u pointed that out before, right!)
- another oppa left a msg for Hyo and he seems to be good friends with Shim Jae Won
- Shim Jae Won also wrote on Park Ki Jun's cyworld
- Jun Young and Ki Jun are both friends with one of the members of a new band called DNT
lol..I can't help it if their names just stand out to me :P but anyway it seems like they have a little circle of their own..which makes me giddy for no reason at all!Hyo is like their cherished dongsaeng =)

p.s just posted some old Hyo pics and a fan account over at SSF in case ur interested :D

I think TaeYeon and Sunny enjoy a drink. I think TaeYeon likes a bit of alcohol with meals while Sunny likes beer? When HyoSun were on YoonGun, Hyo said something about Sunny's drinking habits that I didn't understand. Hyo herself was trying to sound high class by saying she likes cocktails. XD Sunny was like, "What the heck?" XD

LOL @ JunYoung. I wonder why he likes to leave her messages via Cyworld instead of texting her or something. He's always venting in public, lol.

The tangled web of cyworld intimidates me. More power to you for managing to web jump your way through all these conclusions and connections! Who is this Ra HyungYoon that left such a teasing message for Hyo, playfully implying she's a bad kid?

I just checked and Gina Choi just left a message Hangul-izing, "See you soon, baby!" Maybe they're having a meet up? Cute.

You better believe I hopped right over to SSF to read your new posts!
