ITZY Reveals JYP Entertainment's Unique Artist Training System

ITZY, the popular K-pop group, has showcased their strong bond with JYP Entertainment and revealed the unique artist training system of the major agency, sparking interest among fans.

On Daesung's YouTube channel 'Jipdaesung', a video titled 'ITZY is Coming is Too Passive, I'm Going to JYP' was uploaded.

In the video, Daesung visits the JYP headquarters and reunites with ITZY members. Recently, ITZY renewed their contract, affirming their commitment to the company and expressing high trust in JYP.

When Daesung asked if their requests were met during the contract renewal, Yeji and Chaeryeong gave a thumbs up, showing satisfaction. Lia and Chaeryeong humorously described the process as 'smooth communication like Tiki Taka', highlighting the company's attentive care for artists.

During the headquarters tour, JYP's thorough character and lifestyle education system was revealed, surprising Daesung. Yuna and the members shared, 'A professor teaches us dining etiquette, like the position of the head seat, using chopsticks, and not placing elbows on the table.'

Additionally, the fact that they conduct cybersecurity training to prevent hacking incidents caught attention. Chaeryeong humorously confessed, 'We learned to set different passwords for each site, but it's too hard in real life, so I ended up using the same one for all,' drawing laughter. Daesung was impressed by JYP's educational philosophy that focuses on both skills and character.

The members also revealed their unique 'must-have items' during world tours. Chaeryeong carries a personal portable scale to avoid discrepancies in hotel scales, while Ryujin, passionate about ramen, always brings a pot-style electric kettle, showcasing her love for food. Ryujin shared, 'I explore maps thoroughly to taste local food and often use delivery services,' conveying her enjoyment during tours.

Daesung admired the quotes of JYP founder Park Jin-young engraved throughout the building and the JYP logo on the practice room ceiling, commenting on his remarkable self-love.

He also expressed envy over the top-notch facilities, such as the adjustable walls in the dance practice room imported from overseas. Lia added, 'Whenever social issues or problems arise, the CEO and producers advise artists, guiding them in the right direction,' hinting at the secrets of their solid management.
