For those saying that SK is not just ready for that kind of song at that time, think again. Jiyoon was still a minor when JYP made her record Adult Ceremony. A song that's about a girl finally loosing her virginity to an older guy ( whom she is seeing around for years as a minor ) when she finally turn into an adult. Yes it's about grooming. Also this video doesn't cover enough all the harassment and indecent proposals she got as an 18 year old which is by the way not the considered legal adult age in SK.

[@GrizzlyNextDoor]

Actually she was not a minor. She was 19 korean age which made her legally an idol. JYP still shouldn't have published that song. She was barely an adult and wasn't protected by JYP.

[@louise3953]

Korean cultural differences aside, the real issue is that she was manipulated into singing these lyrics/concepts. There’s a difference between a women freely expressing their sexuality and having it forced upon them to appeal to groomers

[@ivy_tae]

It's not about Adult Ceremony being "raunchy" but more about it being problematic. JYP used a hardly adult Jiyoon to fetishize an unacceptable relationship. The whole song talks about a girl who has been dating a much older man for a while, but they couldn't have sex because she wasn't 18 yet. But now she's 18 and she can finally lose her virginity, aka grooming. The public wasn't wrong to feel disgusted but like always, they attacked the wrong person. Instead of throwing stones at Jiyoon who is the victim here, they should have questioned JYP and the company heads for forcing such a disgusting concept on a young girl. The performance has never been an issue for me but it's the implied message that disgusts me. And to think that poor Jiyoon had no idea what the song meant when she sang it... gross.

Many, many years ago, I was watching the S. Korean film, "My Tutor Friend", and I heard a small snippet of "Sung In Shik" ("Adult Ceremony"), and became very interested in finding out the title of the song and who sang it. At the time, information online was limited, so it took me a very long time to finally discover that information. As soon as I did, I ordered a used copy of her fourth album (found it in Taiwan). And despite not speaking fluent Korean, I fell in love with her singing -- and she was the reason I initially became interested in K-pop. Despite what this song represents, and the pain it brought to her, without it, I would probably have never given K-pop a chance.

Glad RM has her in his upcoming INDIGO 🌷 Sexual expression is not a concept. It is a part of your identity. The trouble with "kpop" is that everything is reduced to a concept. I found it very odd when I first came across kpop. As if artistic expressions is superimposed from the outside, instead of driven out from the inside.

[@jaydabomb2510]

I don’t know. I think it’s cool to have a concept. Then it helps with creating something instead of putting stuff together and calling it a day. Now, that being said, there is some weird concepts that k-pop has made and I raise and eyebrow. Having a certain concept for an album isn’t a bad thing. Some k-pop groups actually make it work and I’m always interested on what theme is next. For me, I like to have an idea on what I’m doing so I can go from there. If you’re the person that just wants to be random and do it that way, them that’s cool too. 😊

[@HailToTheMeep]

@@jaydabomb2510 No I don’t mean unstructured and random and without direction. But the idea of concept in kpop is externally directed. The artists only performs the given direction like a good worker only doing where instructed with little input. Sexual expression is VERY PERSONAL, it should INTERNALLY DRIVEN. Making it a financial strategy like the kpop concept is reducing it to something smaller. That’s what I am saying. Nothing to do with being random and spontaneous.

[@miraagenvine9914]

Omg I love how you describe it as superimposed from the outside instead of driven from the inside, that perfectly puts into words something that I've always noticed too. This especially bugs me about the idea of a "dark concept" because it reduces heavy themes to just an aesthetic. As Army myself, this is why I don't like when people beg for dark concepts from bts, because for them it isn't just a concept, but a real expression of painful experiences that they've had. I feel like this particular kpop mentality just takes away so much agency from the artist.

[@HailToTheMeep]

@@miraagenvine9914 The first reply to my original post makes me think that concept is focused on the consumer. Kpop has been known to focus on providing consumers and fans services. They are probably not respected as musicians or performing artists by the world at large because is this. Nothing they do is for art. Everything is a form of service disguised as art. So a lot of music lovers and performance art lovers look down on “idols”. I hope kpop will continue to be forced to change for the better. Especially in labour law and protection from abuses and being treated like workers at the bottom of the company. Instead of the talented people that they are.

I think it's extremely easy for young women in the entertainment industry to be groomed into these concepts under the context of " freedom " and " empowerment ". I'm not trying to shame wanting to express your sexuality, but the song isn't really made from the perspective of a woman who feels ready to explore this side of her now that she's able to, but from a sick male perspective who was just waiting for her to turn 18 so he can finally have his way with her. I guess it's extremely easy at that age to not pay attention to these creepy undertones and sing the song while thinking it represents something mature that should make you feel empowered and proud. Maybe she thought it's was a "spicy " love song which will present her in a more mature way than how her older concepts were.

[@michinsaeggi-dakcho]

I think the main thing that happened here was the obvious influence of black culture and entertainment on the K-pop industry now and even back then (idc what nobody has to say) bc even the album name speaks for itself. this is strikingly similar to what aaliyah went through and even jiyoon’s aesthetic that they made her switch too, also hence “age ain’t nothing but a number” is a song by Aaliyah. It makes sense that they’d give her such a concept after looking at what’s going on elsewhere, especially given that JYP is a know culture vulture. It also makes me mad that they got angry at a 18yo for singing such a song but didn’t question the writers themselves and jyp, it clearly had to have been their own personal fantasies, bc who just thinks of something like that when they wanna write a song.

I just don't think it's right for the parents to entrust their kids into the hands of strangers....

[@vivilore677]

Very sus that everyone knew her parents and her in the church but still decided to play it in the church in front of everyone as a bad example.... Wow

[@missjoy2925]

JYP literally be using his artists cause of his generational trauma of being rejected by SM and taking advantage of those young kids that's disgusting

[@koolvein_klein]

Im glad she is happy and has healthy baby and family. Namjoon has released song "no2"

[@Rochelle_Ballah]

I totally agree with the anonymous comments near the end

[@LifEsongChimE]

One thing that has me confused is you say she had a cute image until she went to jyp and released adult ceremony but you also said she released something called "age is nothing but a number" which is a phrase used to sexualize young people so I'm kind of confused how she could release something under that title but it's still a 180 when she goes to jyp??

[@pennydreadful5163]

i loved her song Mr. Lee and Beep.

[@lamoskgr]

3:25 Naming an album "Age is nothing but a number" always brings bad luck to female singers as it means that their sexuality is being exploited when they are too young for it

[@almaofearthia6785]

There's so much pedophilia promotion coming out of the entertainment industry these days that I do think that young singers should not be singing this song.

[@Darkstarr-ud2go]

Understand the controversy and the issues but have to say the song and her rendition of it are iconic … wish it was handled better though …

[@joelreyes4237]

It's seen that she an amazing singer but I haven't heard any songs of her but when she became more popular with one song but after that become an issue. Her parents become kinda embarrassed in a way when a priest of their church shoe that video and people look at them on a way and haven't talked with her even though they were supported her at first in the beginning

[@hyderyuszenthyderyyoshikaw373]

sexy Concept its self in Korea & Japan is kinda broken, why? The girl group member must be ready in age and mentality nature, The problem is Korea & Japan its opposite regarding Age.

[@catpaws1913]

I think Japan is kinda ahead with this, I particularly like beaver covers by Luz

[@lemonaidebey6190]

Wow her album about being 21 was banned cuz she was too "explicit". Just crazy...

[@shankookie]

I really don't understand SK concept. they getting uncomfortable with song while they having a industry of adult films and also having scenes in a movie and especially in daily soap. if they really don't want this kind of stuff in entertainment, they should critic all of this too. why only band k pop songs where they can ban movies or dramas then. when there is limitation, do limit all equally, not partially. it just entertainment and should see this all as entertainment too. if don't want then please don't blame the artist, blame the company in this case. Rational are really lack at SK. Hope justice always win there too. I'm glad Park Ji Yoon is happy with her life now. ps: it just my opinion, i really love SK, it just feel so sad and feel so so bad for the people who suffered for not so their fault. Peace.

[@MsLacieable]

Maybe if she knows what it meant before singing it, would've been better. I think JYP should've given it to an older idol.

[@spittingame4241]

@3:35 you mean 1998 not 1988

[@shhd2105]

Ngl their church was trifling as hell for playing the video and basically trying to shame her. Church people love to pretend to be holy then thou but are some of the most judgemental people to exist.

[@maximoreds]

Yet every female idols basically have to do this song 🎵 😪 🤧

[@Yasminh-]

3:05 these 50.000 won bills shouldnt be used for this past-times video as they only exist since 2009 lol

[@cecily8441]

That church is part of the problem. So passive aggressive against a young girl.

[@MoonStarr-02]

Churches always be like that smh

[@HeavenlyLove47]

for sure, what a horrible way to go about that situation

[@seal3081]

Britney spears was 16 when she released hit me baby one more time and filmed that music video. Jyp has a history of being raunchy, for a time its what he was known for his shows where women were essentially doing a burlesque strip tease. While some of it might be his own fantasies I feel a lot of that was because he felt he was being edgy and wanted to be like madonna. He gave this song to her because being risqué worked for him. Those transparent pants he's known for were worn for a reason. Times change, people change, I don't feel this is something he'd give to any of the girls in jyp now.

[@marianadejesus4709]

She is featured in Rm's new album

[@ipekbabyy]

She looks like Fei and Sohee

[@emmanuelcampo1849]

Wow! you used a clip from Buenos Aires university!

[@Marguerite-wu3nw]

What a pity! She is a very talented singer and the song was and still is fabulous!

[@gmti486]

SK tried to suppress the song, but Streisand Effect took place instead.

[@hklover2121]

i pray idols stop doing this as soon as they turn of legal age and wait until their more comfortable. i think the song and dance can be enjoyable but i don’t want companies pushing this performance onto their idols

[@alexblack4048]

i feel like one of the most comfortable ones that covered it was gahyeon from dreamcatcher who was 20(21 korean age) which is what korea considers officially being adult.
