PARK JIN YOUNG: "RAIN HAS NO HITSONG"

Fans of Rain did not like what Park Jin Young (JYP) said in his recent interview with GQ magazine.
Park Jin Young said, “1/3 of Wonder Girls’ albums and digital music income is already half of Rain’s albums and digital music income. Wonder Girls’ has low promotion costs but its album and digital music profits were relatively high. Rain had high promotion costs but he doesn’t have a hit song.”
For Rain’s fans, it was “disappointing” to read such statement from Park Jin Young, who handled Rain’s career while he was still in JYP Entertainment.
Fans also added that for Park Jin Young to say that Rain had “no hit song” was a slap on his face because Park did most of Rain’s songs.
“What a terrible birthday gift,” was also one of the fans’ comments to Park Jin Young’s statement. Rain is celebrating his 27th birthday today, June 25.
Ooh that's harsh! I'm no follower of Rain nor am I a fan of the Wonder Girls (but I like their songs now). Though Rain isn't under JYP's company anymore, I think it's unethical of JYP to compare (in public) the record sales and profits made by people he has worked with. Most specifically talking about the income they generated. So technically the guy is saying, its so much better now with the Wonder Girls, cos he earns more with them. LOL
About the hit song, honestly I am not familiar with Rain's music (you can kill me for that), but I just wasn't a Kpop fan back then.
