In 30 seconds: 15&

Both were teenagers at the debut, and the name carries that; the pair are a useful starting point for the history of women's vocals at JYP Entertainment.

Pick this if you want singing without choreography, and want to hear two voices that later went very different ways.

From debut to now

  • 2012
    A teenage vocal duo of Park Jimin and Baek Yerin debuted from JYP with I Dream.
  • 2013
    Somebody is the signature song that pulls the singing of the two towards friendly pop, easy to enter even on a first listen.
  • 2014
    Around Can't Hide It and Sugar, the layering of the voices leans towards a more adult R&B and soul.
  • 2015
    Park Jimin moved under the name Jamie and Baek Yerin into solo and band settings, so the usual view shifted from the duo to individual paths.
  • 2019
    Coming in through the solo work of Yerin makes it easy to return to the role each voice played in the 15& years.
  • 2020
    Set beside the Jamie era of Jimin, 15& stands as the prehistory of vocal acts at JYP.

KPOP DISCOVER's 15& note

The axis of 15& runs through two things: the line of genuinely strong singers at JYP, and the solo paths that followed for both members. Park Jimin, known for winning K-pop Star, and Baek Yerin, later highly rated in solo and band settings, formed a female vocal duo. Both debuted as teenagers, and the youth and the possibility in that are folded into the group name itself.

I Dream, Somebody and Can't Hide It make the entry. I Dream holds the singing at the time of the debut, Somebody brings bright pop, and Can't Hide It moves into an adult R&B leaning texture, which together make the role of each voice and their standing inside JYP easy to follow.

Jimin widened into solo work as Jamie, while Yerin moved into solo releases and the setting of The Volunteers. Even with a small number of releases under the duo name, 15& is worth returning to from the later careers of both, and it is hard to skip for anyone reading how JYP raised female vocalists. I Dream, then Somebody, then Can't Hide It runs from singing through pop to R&B.

Editors' take I Dream / Somebody / Can't Hide It — the prehistory of female vocal acts at JYP in three songs, from a duo built on real ability.
