Takahashi Juri (Juri) / 12th Generation

I really hope Juri doesn't regret her decision

 

K-netz came to Juri's defend and, surprise!, it's from Nate and Netizenbuzz.

Too early to tell. Wait after a week of promotion if her song charted on MelOn/sold over 10k copies.

She moved to Korea as AKB could never satisfy her desire to grow as performer, especially after she got to taste how K-pop worked. At least, now she got to practice and be trained non-stop so she must feel like she is working to her fullest to be professional idol performer and not just "idol".

I noticed eye bags on Suyun. She likely had sleepless night.

 

Better regret doing it rather than regret not doing it
(that's the Juri-way)

 

well there are a lot of j-idol fans in korea too... but idk if she'll get same support as sakura or miru

 

Has this ever been confirmed though?

I think this is the most accurate translation about the Juri Woolim e-mail matter.

Congratulations on your KPOP debut, Juri!

 

I like the song and Juri really blends in imo. Her Korean seems really good too. I hope this is successful for her.

 

Yeah she did surprise me there. I was cringing a bit when it came to her turn to speak but soon relaxed

=====

At some stage, she's bound to bump into Sakura (technically her sunbae lolz)
<---- then I can update this avatar muahahaha. Can't wait

 

I wonder whether they considered each other on an equal level in regard to the seniority while in AKB, or whether they based it off passing the audition or being promoted. Juri became a KKS in April 2011 and Sakura became a KKS in July 2011, but Sakura was promoted 9 days earlier than Juri.

 

According to Soompi, which is the most trustworthy site, Juri said
“I’m happy to be able to stand here with the other five members after preparing for so long. I got an email from Woollim and we started talking. I told them that I wanted to make my debut in Korea. The agency told me that they would support me so I came to Korea. I’ve always had an interest in Woollim as an agency, so I trusted them.”

Koreaboo, which is a less if not the least trustworthy site echoed the same translation. I assume the mistranslation resulting from the pronoun-dropping nature of Korean. Like the Japanese, the Korean, to lesser extent, often omits the pronoun, for example they say "Want to see (Bogoshipeo)" not "I want to see you (Naneun nega bogoshipeo)". This can lead to confusion.

You can read some words from other members here.
This part from Yeonhee is interesting. “We saw Juri on ‘Produce 48’ and cheered her on, so we were happy to meet her as a fellow member. We were excited to be able to debut with her. At first, there was a language barrier so we had to communicate through body language, but we’re studying Japanese and she is studying Korean.”. Note the "we’re studying Japanese", they must have Japan debut planned.

In PD 48, Juri was presented as K-pop lover who tried hard to learn Korean. Why wouldn't Korean viewers like her? She also treated fans nicely. I remember she gave "fan" service by fanning fans waiting for her at the airport.

I meant the daily chart, not not-so-relevant real-time chart. Not many idols' songs charted well this year so far, even Itzy's second title song, Icy, fell off the chart quickly. It was also a controversial incident when a boy group (NCT 127) won in music show with 0 digital score (not charted) but, no group charted well anyway. If the group can be charted after 1 or 2 week of promotion, it means the promotion is successful and the song gets popular among general public to a degree. If the song isn't charted after 3 weeks, most likely it will never be charted. Since the trend now is more girls supporting girl groups, I expect the physical sale of girl groups overall to rise.

Now, Korean music performer association has started to collect performers' royalty fees for foreign artists, if the song charted, Juri will receive a considerable income from the association. This type of income is paid directly from the association to the artists' bank accounts, no agency in the middle.

It doesn't seem like it will be any more promising girl group to debut this year but the rumored S.M's new girl group. Nomination for "Best New Female Group" awards is locked although the chance to win is slim.

 

Good question. I did like to think they did see each other as equals in seniority
If Sakura and Shige's relationship be any guide, Sakura can certainly cope with someone who is outspoken, forward and brash. But Shige is on a different level, of course lolz

====

Good point. And don't forget this:


Its one of the more endearing moments in PD48, esp. between a Japanese and Korean trainee.
I can only speak for myself but it was one of the last memories of Juri prior to the last performance (Suki ni Nacchau Darou) and the finale
Its probably etched in many an audience's mind (I'd like to think ahaha)

 

Here's a quick list of Juri fansites that I found on Twitter. I'm assuming they will be very active because of the nature of Kpop single release schedules.

FYI "fansites" are fans that take pictures of their bias/oshimen in public events and places

she gonna be okay in there? just watched asian boss and i heard things r gettin worse

 

S.M can adjust the timetable for its new girl group project all the time. I remember seeing that a famous choreographer said she was working with S.M's new girl group from few months ago. That's how another round of new girl group rumor started. SuperM is an American project. It should not affect on S.M's Korean based project.

I hope it come true. I'm dying to see Natty's striking dance move. Anyway, I don't think the group will do great right off the bat and, like Fromis-9, will take some time to rise.

May you check out 1 or 2 fancams on Rocket Punch? You will know the answer to your question if you do pay attention to the group.

 

She is fine. Working hard as usual.
