Park Jinyoung said "if k-pop's first stage was to export Korean contents overseas and the 2nd stage was to find foreign talents and incorporate them with Korean singers (e.g. 2PM's Nickhun), then, the 3rd stage would be to directly produce and nurture the talents from overseas." He intends the Nizi Project to be the 3rd stage of K-pop.
Eligibility: Japanese female applicants from 15~22 y.o
Goal: Main promotions in Japan and active all around the world including Korea

1. Ew
2. This is all for business. I would feel my blood boil if they did this is China too, but I won't bash them any more than this. As for Japan, I think that it's just wrong. They probably have been preparing this long time ago
3. Don't mix this with K-pop
4. Take that Yen back
5. If this group doesn't break even with the money invested in them, it's a waste of our money
6. They talked about this ever since last year. They've already started doing something similar in China. They are just doing the same thing in Japan.
7. They will be a Japanese girl group so I don't understand why he's calling it the "3rd stage of K-pop". Also, it seems like they want NIZI to be ITZY's sister group and I already hate it
8. Don't do it --
9. Why are they doing this... I f*cking hate this. I hope they fail
10. Looks like he's confident, make sure you do it well
