On January 10 KST, rookie boy group ALL(H)OURS of Eden Entertainment held a debut showcase for the release of their 1st mini album, 'ALL OURS'.
During the showcase, ALL(H)OURS explained why they are called the "Cousin group of Stray Kids". The members said that the nickname came about because of Eden Entertainment's CEO, Jo Hae Sung, former vice chief director of JYP Entertainment who oversaw the launch of teams including 2PM, TWICE, Stray Kids, and ITZY.
Member Hyunbin commented, "I was so happy to be able to have that nickname thanks to our chief director. I began aspiring to become an idol while watching Hyunjin sunbaenim of Stray Kids, so it was a different feeling. But I also felt that the nickname motivated me to work harder."
In fact, during ALL(H)OURS's debut showcase, JYP Entertainment's head producer J.Y. Park even sent a congratulations message to the group's members. He said, "Our boys ALL(H)OURS, JYP Entertainment's official nephews, congratulations on your debut. I watched these boys grow since their trainee days, when the debut team still wasn't confirmed. I spent a lot of time talking with them while they prepared for their debut."
J.Y. Park continued, "I'm filled with pride seeing you boys finally making your debut. I'm sure that you will continue to grow until people all over the world come to know of your unique charms."
Meanwhile, ALL(H)OURS consist of members Keonho, Youmin, Xayden, Minje, Masami, Hyunbin, and On:N. Their 1st mini album 'ALL OURS', featuring the title track "GOTCHA", is now available for streaming.
Outside of Jay Park (and maybe Somi?), is there anyone in the industry who isn't on good terms with JYP? He's pretty supportive of former JYPE people.
