Display MoreIt reflects a question that has bounced around in my head for a little bit:
What's more important? JYP being able to say "I made this song successful because I was personally involved." or "I created the environment to make successful albums and careers by empowering a great team to create many hits."? There's a greater legacy to claim by having an environment that creates an awesome synergy from the whole of its parts.
Jim Henson is unsung today but made his mark in American history as a visionary, innovator, and icon by creating the vision and letting his teams paint the picture in their various projects. Occasionally guiding them back on track if necessary, but not touching the parts of the picture.
It would be cool if JYP could put his ego aside for a moment so the company could thrive on the next level.
He and Yang hyun Suk don't see it that way and i can't really argue against them since if they played in the background, no one would know who they are.
