Display MoreObviously we can't see all the recording behinds, and no doubt there probably was some arguments, but when Soyeon was teaching Shuhua, because she couldn't get the part right, she went in there and gave her an effective tool (hitting her own hands) to assist her in the song.
I don't see JYP providing any constructive approach like that. It's fine to criticize, but it's on the vocal director and producer (in which position he is sitting for this) just as much as it is on the Idol to find the right outcome.
Also some of y'all are working in psychotic places. I work for a major corporation and a relatively high powered environment - and part of people being people managers, people leader's is to effectively manage their staff. That includes employing a variety of techniques and understanding that different people react to different methods, and focusing on productivity.
Sometimes relatively harsh and truthful conversations are sometimes warranted, particularly when people need or have to be performance managed, but they have to be in productive ways and it's about ensuring the best outcome from the employee. Simply losing your cool is not an effective way to be a people manager.
I find his approach pretty poor. He's frustrated, sure, but in his position he lets it show and also doesn't provide a pathway for the idol to assist. If he can't be a vocal director effectively then he should get one in the room.
And honestly I worry about some people's professional environments quite frankly.
out of curiosity, you are not from Asia right?
I think this kind of approach is quite common for Asian. I work in one of the top company in my country and i can tell you the older generation e.g. babyboomer and early Gen X bosses work that way (not the newer generation though, we are more towards empowerment). It is both a cultural thing + generation thing.
