Park Jin Young: “Rain has no hit song, Wonder Girls are Better Musicians"

Fans of Rain did not like what Park Jin Young 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.



During his GQ interview, JYP also commented that Wondergirls’ music sales are higher than Rain’s and that he didn’t produce Rain with music in mind. He just wanted to create an icon and music allowed Rain to become an icon, while Wondergirls is all about music. Apparently, topping the charts 8 weeks in a row makes Wondergirls musicians.
