Just why is Mighty Mouth such a star magnet?
by | June 16, 2008 | 18 Comments

Here’s what I wanna know: Which industry bigwig is brand-new rap duo Mighty Mouth servicing sexually? Or bribing? Or blackmailing?

First, Yoon Eun Hye lent her vocals to their debut single, “I Love You,” and her high-profile collaboration helped the track shoot to the top of music charts with stunning speed. The song was then performed live by JOO, and then actress Han Ga In.

Now the rest of their first full-length album is poised for success; the current song gaining traction is “Energy,” which features the Wonder Girls’ Sun Ye. But that’s not all — the album features performances by Solbi, Yuri, DJ DOC’s Kim Chang Ryeol, and even Horan. (Horan?? That sure caught my eye.)

Sure, kpop is a relatively small pool, and singers and groups do tend to work together frequently — but not usually with such a high density of high-profile names in a brand-spankin’-new artist’s debut album. Big producers require big money, which a new group wouldn’t have. And as far as I can tell, Mighty Mouth aren’t themselves a hotbed of genius musical talent — the album is half-decent, I’ll agree (though also half-meh), but not extraordinary. I don’t see how this rap duo attracted such big names from the get-go without some major behind-the-scenes maneuvering going on. Until that reason becomes clear, I consider myself at leisure to conjure up plausible explanations myself. Right now I’m going with servicing sexually.

    Wow. Those are a lot of big names. Horan too? Now that’s surprising. Anyhow, perhaps the guy in charge of them has many connections? I don’t know. But Mighty Mouth is okay. The big names make me a little more interested in their music though.

    Haha, this post has kinda a PopSeoul or AllKpop feel to it. But these were my thoughts exactly.

    Why don’t you tell them exactly what you think?!!
    Go! Go! Java! You might be right there though…Ha! How can one feel good about bad mouthing? Easy!

  4. ek

    i like that song, it is pretty catchy. i think knowing the right people make things happen, so this is probably the case, but what you mentioned could be too you never really know, lol.

  5. etsy

    maybe one of their parents is in the industry?

    I’m glad Joo sung the song with them during live performances! I don’t think Eun Hye could have ever pulled off a good live performance! I mean, her voice was wasn’t even that great in the original!

  7. choram

    LOL

    Servicing sexually eh? You sure?! I don’t think that would get them far actually…..hahah ………I kid. Sorta. :P

    I was surprised when I saw the track list too~ and I still think they are not THAT great, but I’m willing to give their song a chance, at least their song, Cry. Because I love Horan that much. :D

  9. lazybum

    hmm, you’re right, definitely some connections in the background… not surprised tho, nowadays, if you’re not with a major agency, you better have some damn good connections… and yes, sexual favours are definitely possible… lol

    Looking at those name lists, he sure doesn’t pick them because of vacal ability. He/his team isn’t even care whether the singing style suits the artist. Tell us a lot about his songs.

  11. 11 Jae Young

    Yeah, I don’t get it myself! When I saw Horan, I totally did a double take as well. I’m sure we’ll find out sooner or later. Naver searches in the Korean, the best for crazy rumours

    Wait, when did Han Ga In ever perform the song with them?
    Someone link me?

    i think there is a high possibility that they may have been singers in
    other groups previously, since quite a few singers are recycled from
    defunct or unpopular groups from the late 90′s. That would explain,
    why many people know the group.

    i think eun hye has pretty decent live vocals… i wouldnt give a crap abt i love you and mighty mouth if it weren’t for eun hye and her fresh sweet vocals and im guessing most of korea feels the same way. btw the only reason she agreed to collaborate is thanks to persuasion by producer and artist Lee Hyun Doo who she is a big fan of.

    Yoon Eun Hye is in the same company under Mighty Mouth so she was easy to get. And JYP and Might Mouths comapny have connections

    Well i honestly think their music is pretty decent, but uh the thing that got me started was actually, in all honesty, sangchu’s nice abs. My kinda guy. Yeah i got the hots for him. So servicing sexually.. Tempting. Lol. Hahah. Well whatever whatever, they’re alright for me tho.
