JYP Entertainment Rejected These 5 Trainees… Now They’re Top K-Pop Stars
Despite being big names in the K-Pop world, these singers and idols faced complications on their road to debut.
Before finding their homes in their current companies and reaching stardom, they actually originally auditioned for JYP Entertainment, and were ultimately rejected.
1. BTS’s J-Hope
Before debuting with the popular idol group BTS, J-Hope auditioned for JYP Entertainment in 2009. While he was not offered a contract, in the end, his dreams did not end there.
He became an official trainee for Big Hit Entertainment in 2010 and debuted three years later.
2. EXO’s Xiumin
The line up of EXO could have been entirely different had Xiumin been accepted as a trainee for JYP Entertainment when he auditioned in 2008.
Fortunately for Xiumin, that didn’t mark the end of his career as he was cast by S.M. Entertainment after participating in S.M.’s Everysing Contest later that year.
