That's right. The two finalists of Mnet's Superstar K2 were scouted by Park Jin Young himself during his tenure as a judge on the show. Unfortunately, everything doesn't always work out according to plan.
JYPE president Park Jin Young expressed interest in Huh Gak and John Park a while back after judging for Mnet's Superstar K2. He was the 4th judge in the panel for the show along with Lee Seung Chul, Yoon Jong Shin, and Uhm Jung Hwa until his busy schedule in the U.S. forced him to leave his post as a judge. However, the two singers left quite an impression on him.
According to an acquaintance, JYP was amazed at the potential and the growth of Huh Gak and John Park and admired them both. But unfortunately, the window of opportunity was missed. Instead of a new superstar duet group debuting under JYP, the two talented singers will make their way in the industry on separate paths.
"A representative of JYPE stated, "Park Jin Young noticed the star potential of Huh Gak and John Park early on in 'Superstar K2.' At the time, he even wanted to scout them into JYPE. However, due to his busy schedule after the end the show, he wasn't able to act on his plans. And to take Huh Gak and John Park and debut them as rookie stars, they've already become too famous for that."
