The JO1 name is now known around the world.
Are there any Korean members of JO1?

All JO1s are Japanese, no Koreans.
Because "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN" was open to non-Japanese applicants as long as they lived in Japan, there were several contestants (trainees) who were from Korea.
It seems to look Korean because of the K-Pop style.
JO1 is a Korean group by the looks of it. They were speaking Japanese so fluently on Mezamashi the other day that it made my head explode. How can you guys speak Japanese? (Japanese desu kara 〜〜〜〜〜)

JO1's debut single "PROTOSTAR" was created and recorded in Korea.
And of course, the music videos, choreography, and lyrics are all Korean!
Therefore, JO1 is an unprecedented unit with a strong K-POP flavor, even though all members are Japanese.
JO1 is K-POP?
JO1 is a Japanese group produced in Korea due to the complexity of the group.Is it K-pop or J-pop?controversy over a genreappears to be happening.
As a JO1 official, we aim to be active in the world regardless of countryGlobal Boys Group.The company is saying that it is.
Dong-Ho Shin-Ki, you are a Korean idol, but you put out music written by a Japanese composer and lyricist, and it is recognized as J-POP even though you are Korean. In the end, music genres are not determined by race; JO1 will end the era of separating K-POP and J-POP by race.

Where is JO1's office?

The office to which the members of JO1 belong is Lapone Entertainment (LAPONE).
Laponet is a merger company between CJ ENM, a Korean company, and Yoshimoto Kogyo, established in May 2019.
As a newly established office, the first artist to belong to JO1 was JO1.
Rapone is one of Yoshimoto Kogyo's group companies, and the menagerie is outsourced to Yoshimoto Kogyo.
This may sound like Yoshimoto is involved, but as an independent company, it is best to understand that it is a newly established company that is separate from the comedy company Yoshimoto.
Yoshimoto Kogyo was also involved in the broadcast of "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN (Pudu Nippon, Nippu)," and you could say that Rapone was the company created for the birth of JO1.
Although it is a new agency, JO1 is backed up by the strongest lineup of major management, so there is no reason why it can't sell!

Ren Kawajiri's dance is sharp and clear even to the untrained eye.
The expression is perfect, from facial expression to the tips of the hands and feet.

Ren Kawajiri is the best dancer, but has no experience as a singer.
Without being overawed by my dance skills, I stoically worked hard to learn to express myself in the inexperienced area of singing as well.
She is a good dancer, stoic, single-minded and cool Asian beauty.

The main reason for Takumi Kawanishi's third place in the final ranking is that he is second to none.Expression.

Shosei Ohira has experience studying dance in the U.S. and is a graduate of EXPG Kyoto School (a dance school run by EXILE).
As a member of EXPG SWORD, he has appeared in Naoki Kobayashi's productions, and his ability is well documented.

Before joining Nippu, he dropped out of high school and was a trainee to become an idol in Korea.
Shion Tsurufusa's dance moves are sharp with a strong torso, and his husky voice is stage-worthy.
It makes you feel that you were born to be an idol.
Tsurufusa Shion-kun is such a catchphrase.Eternal Rebellion."The following is a list of the most common problems with the
Shion Tsurufusa is cool and seemingly toggled, but it is not because he is a rebel, but because he is clumsy, strict and stoic to himself, straightforward without mending, and unadorned with gusto.

Behind it all, a delinquent was taking care of an abandoned cat! The human touch is present in a surprising way.
The more you get to know Tsurufusa Shion-kun, the more you see his true face, his playful face, his cute smile, and his love for his friends, the harder it is to get out of the swamp.

Rui Shiraiwa, the prince of JO1, was a prominent figure in "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN" with an aura of his own.

Ruhi Shiraiwa quit Ju (former Johnny's Jr.)And I was impressed with the way he showed on stage and the way he behaved, as if he knew what he was doing.
The outstanding flexibility and dexterity with which he makes any song his own is to be expected.
Although Rui Shiraiwa is a dominant idol, she also has a surprisingly chatty and cheerful personality off the stage. (Talkative prince!).
They talked until 4:00 in the morning during the camp, and they left behind quotes ("Did you forget your glass slipper and your vote?"). I won't leave until midnight," etc.).
I expect Rui Shiraiwa to do well on variety shows with this talk ability!

Keigo Sato, a former apprentice hairdresser, is the fashionable leader of JO1.
The unusual name "giraffe" comes from its neck, which is as long as a giraffe's (giraffe in English).

She is 182cm tall with 9 heads, droopy eyes and sweet facial features.
The overwhelming presence and flamboyant Keisho Sato's performance was powerful, yet his gentle singing voice was sexy and mild.
And when Keigo Sato takes off his clothes, he is amazing.
Muscles.

*Not the muscle gymnast. This is Keigo Sato.
With a face as pretty as Snoopy's, these muscles in his arms are foul!
Now that we have seen how mysterious Keigo Sato is, what do you think of his personality?

He likes scary stories, he paints himself with joker paint, and he's a
In Pudu's debut pledge, he announced a mysterious declaration: "I will visit famous haunted places alone.

Although he does not seem to be much of a talker, Keigo Sato is sometimes described by JO1 members as a "mood maker," which shows his good personality.

Age: 23 years old
Birthplace: Aichi Prefecture
Height: 171cm
Blood type: A
Member color: Light purple
Shoya Kimata, as he sometimes says, is not the type to stand out and is modest in his remarks.
However, once you become aware of Shoya Kimata's presence, albeit a bit subdued, you go deeper into it.
It's understated, not aggressive, naive, and life-size.

I was too embarrassed to say I wanted to be an idol, even though I always wanted to be one.
I put myself on the back burner and do other members' makeup for them.
How many fans have fallen in love with Shoya Kimata, who is such a gracious, thoughtful, and adorable guy.
Shoya Kimata, when he goes on stage, he is like a possessed person, or rather, he changes his mood and puts on an aura of a star.

No. 1 gap between off and on stage
No. 1 stage presence

*The left and right sides are both kizumata-kun.

Birthplace: Nara, Japan
Height: 174cm
Blood type: O
Member color: light blue
Junki Kono joined Nippu with no experience in singing or dancing.
At the time, I was still a senior at Doshisha University and still in school, so I kicked off my job search and put everything I had into Nippu.
Junki Kono, despite his inexperience, has improved rapidly and his dancing skills have been so good that he won his debut, probably due to his athleticism from playing soccer.
The performance of Junki Kono is notable for his singing.
It's a stretch, moist and warm, and this is a great voice to sing in><
Junki Kono sings too well, doesn't he?
That's right, I'm in love with you.# Junki Kono pic.twitter.com/ldOk9BKRv0- 🍨 haun 🍦 (@keiyaaahun) December 15, 2019

Behind the poker face, they are actually lonely and have something passionate in their hearts.

The rarity of Hekkai Kaneshiro's smile, which he shows us unexpectedly, is hard to resist.

Hekimi Kaneshiro also has no experience in singing or dancing.
However, with his good core trained in karate, powerful and aggressive dancing, and above all, his natural good-looking voice, he quickly learned to perform at the stage level.
Hekimi Kaneshiro's low-pitched voice is especially addictive when you hear it.

Last!
With such a strong lineup of individualistic members, it would not be possible to organize JO1 without its leader, Sho Yonagusuku.
He has a calmness and receptiveness that makes him worthy of being called an oppa.
Tadashi Enagi's charm as an adult is evident in his sweet, gentle singing voice, graceful dance moves, and performance.
It is hard to believe that she has no experience in dancing and is self-taught in singing.
