Except BoA doesn't stupidly trash-talk other artists, even through implication, to my knowledge. Even if JYP didn't intend to offend, it was an enormously idiotic thing to say. After all, no one was anything but congratulatory to the Wonder Girls when the original thread discussing their breakthrough was posted here- I personally had no interest in them, so I didn't contribute, but it wasn't like I actively disliked them then, nor do I now. However, JYP could have remained securely within the confines of self-appreciation: he didn't have to degrade the work other artists have put into their crossover attempts. A more appropriate route for him to have taken would have been acknowledgment for the Wonder Girls and everything they've done; instead he took most of the credit for his management skills and downplayed the efforts of other serious artists who are equally if not more successful. Again, while he wasn't extremely hostile about it and it's not something I'll be losing any sleep over, it was highly unnecessary and, I feel, a case of passive-aggressive behavior at its worse.

All the best to the Wonder Girls (even if they are essentially money-making musical vendor machines taking the form of living, breathing, singing human beings)! JYP and his inflated ego can take a hike, though. :]
