The Difference Between JYP and DSP


Wonder.

Recommended Posts

Whenever the question, "is JYP in the BIG3 anymore" arises, K-pop fans are quick to say, because of their influence of course, which is true however opposing K-pop fans are quick to reply "VAT ABT DSP!11!!11"

 

 

Today I will (try) to explain why DSP dropped so fast and why JYP wont, at least soon

 

If I get any facts or shit wrong then @ me because humans make mistakes fam

 

A Timeline of DSP vs JYP

 

Pre-Idol

 

JYP

Park Jin Young [1994]

 

First Generation

 

DSP

Sechs Kies [1997]

Fin.K.L [1998]

 

JYP

G.O.D [1999]

 

All of these groups were majorly successful and will always be known as legends

 

DSP

Click-B [1999]

 

They debuted under DSP but attained little to no success and certainly did not compare to G.O.D who were million-sellers and the "Nation's Boy Group" at the time

 

DSP

Lee Hyori [2003]

 

JYP

Rain [2002]

 

Though both of these solo acts were equally or similarly successful in korea, Rain had more of a global influence because he had two sold out performances at Madison Square Garden in 2006 and he was also the first K-pop idol to perform at Tokyo Dome in 2007, he also starred in a Hollywood movie

 

Second Generation

 

DSP

ss501-3-20110412.jpg

SS501 [2005]

 

 

SS501 were extremely successful in South Korea and attained loyal fans globally however there was no actual impact globally

 

JYP

Wonder Girls [2007]

DSP

20121025_seoulbeats_kara.jpg

KARA [2007]

 

Both of these groups are legendary and contributed equally to the Hallyu Wave

Wonder Girls are the first and only South Korean girl group to chart on Billboard and their song 'Nobody' created waves all over the world, they became Korea's national girl group with other hits like 'Tell Me' and 'So Hot' 

 

whilst KARA were/are the number 1 Korean girl group in Japan and performed in Tokyo Dome, paving ways for future Korean ventures.

 

JYP

2PM [2008]

2AM [2008]

 

DSP

AST'1 [2008]

 

2PM were a top boy group at their peak through the success of songs such as 'Heartbeat' 'Again and Again' 'Hands Up', even their debut song '10 out of 10' was well-received

2AM were also a popular ballad group through the success of songs like "Cant Let You Go Even If I Die" and others

 2PM also have a huge global influence as they are one of the top Korean boy groups in Japan, as this 2015 year-end chart shows:

Rainbow [2009]


 


 


Miss A are the fastest girl group to win #1 on music shows and digital charts upon debut, they also won a daesang UPON debut. After their debut, they were successful with songs such as 'Good Bye Baby' 'Breathe' and 'Touch' although 'I don't need a man' and 'Hush' were not received as well as their previous tracks, Only You achieved a perfect all-kill making miss A the only 5 groups in Korea to attain it and surpassed a million or two million downloads

15& [2012]


 


A-JAX are still struggling whilst Puretty failed to fulfill their purpose of being popular in Japan and disbanded 


 


Meanwhile, 15& were received well at debut due to K-pop star and amazing vocals, their 2015 single 'Love is Madness' reached #1 on the charts and an all-kill as well, Park Jimin's solo debut charted in the Top 10 whilst Baek Yerin's solo debuted in the Top 10 and remains comfortably between the Top 30 or Top 20 despite being released in November

They're all obviously rookies yet and the future is uncertain but as of now... 


 


 


TL;DR: 


DSP dropped the ball too quick and JYP were/are relevant to the point that previous successes cannot be and have not been replicated

Well, this was a great insight into the history of both companies. I wish there was more in depths history of all current companies like this one, would put a lot of thing into a new light.

As for DSP... Yeah,, it hurts that after Kara, they pretty much stopped being relevant. I wonder if this was due to a change in leadership style, change in CEO, change in vision for the company, or just complete lack of luck. Either way, it didn't work.

dsp used to be able to compete with sm, but they have really lost a lot

they still produced some of the most legendary groups/soloists in kpop

but now i don't even they can compete w/ some of the smaller agencies

hope all of these groups can gain success.

 

jype definitely has been stable and produced a lot of legendary groups in kpop

i don't think they can be replaced as easy. i don't think people think dsp would take

jype spot. dsp used to be in the big 4 (sm yg jyp dsp) until around the mid 2000s.

people dont think dsp can take jyp's spot but people think that jyp's spot can be taken easily because dsp's spot was taken oh so many years ago before the hallyu wave peaked

I was only a fan of Kara but because of Fin.k.l i remember they were considered a top company YG still wasn't there. DSP, I feel like it relied to much on Kara which is kinda bad since Rainbow was neglected and now they don't have a top idol group, well as of yet.

Wow that's a lot of work OP, thanks for the history lesson! It's funny how people think that JYP is easily replacable. As you have shown, having good sales is a factor of being in the big 3 (it has always been) but what's important is the influence. JYPE has produced so many influential artists and even their new gen groups seem to be rising, with Twice having quite the impressive debut sales. GOT7 has a huge international following and if they only got a hit to get that public recognition/ korean fanbase growing.....Even JYP, himself, continues to have some influence in the industry. People know who he is; the name of the company carries a certain presence that other companies outside of the big 3 don't. But I await another "why is JYP in the big 3" thread  :imstupid:
