Jackie Chan Forms K-Pop Idol Group “JJCC”
Action star Jackie Chan (成龍) has combined his industry expertise and passion for discovering new talents in his latest passion project. On March 10, he announced via his talent management company, Jackie Chan Group Korea, that he has put together a brand new Korean pop idol group, and will be formally introducing them sometime this month.
A singer himself, Jackie has recorded several albums and movie theme songs throughout his career. Knowing the ins and outs of the music industry, he has taken on the challenge to produce an Asian pop group that can hold its own on the global stage.
Named JJCC, or pronounced “Double JC”, the five-member group consists of four Koreans and one Chinese. Fitting into the popular model of Korea’s top male idols, the members of JJCC are all young, tall, handsome, and multi-talented. Similar to Korean industry practice, all five members were put into rigorous training programs; their leader was reportedly the most experienced having been a trainee for nine long years.
Although there has been an over-supply of K-pop idol groups in recent years, Jackie is confident that JJCC will stand out among the rest and hopes that it will one day be known all around the world. To ensure the group’s success, Jackie personally oversaw its recruitment and development, and also managed every detail from song selection to creating the album cover.
Years in the making, JJCC is finally ready to greet the public this month and will be releasing its debut single on March 20. Averaging twenty-years-old and 180 centimeters in height, the group has already generated some interest online, and is currently testing their demand in the local market with surprise street performances.

the name is already bad.
we think alike 😀
dear god what is this BS?
really a bad name.
lol he love himself too much. at least it’s not JJJCCC or JCJC
no one managed to succeed under JVR and this is gonna get destroyed too
He named the group after himself, wow!
God he is so narcissistic.
I think the Koop industry has way too many idol groups, they should train some newbies that has their own style and talent. I was at this Korean restaurant a few weeks ago with three other non Asian friends they asked me why are they looping the same singer’s mv. The thing is the restaurant was playing some music awards show and all of the songs were by different groups. If the Kpop industry is willing to spend so much time and resources in new talent, they should make them each unique and not cookie mold them.
I agree. I thought I was pretty familiar with Kpop but honestly I thought it was all the same people performing.
Agreed! Plus they all looks the same.
I’m not familiar with Kpop and I also think they all look the same. >_< I'm Asian and I can usually tell Asians apart but I can't tell Kpop stars apart. They all look the same to me. @_@
Dude you aren’t into kpop that’s way you think they’re all the same!!! I recommend you to start watching something Korean!!!
Why do I have this suspicion that he is just using this latest venture to score young Korean chicks?
Why not call ‘Seng Seng Loong Loong’. nice name is it?
Hahaha! I think that’s actually better than JJCC.
LMAO, that’s a good one….still ROFL.

BARF!

2 words.
Jesus Christ!

I think he just wants to use this opportunity to sleep with more girls.
to all you kpop haters or aren’t into kpop as much as other people please respect JJCC. they haven’t debuted yet and you guys are making all this fuss. what are you gonna do when they do debut???? huh? and seriously do you guys know how popular kpop is right now? get a life!!
The teaser looks ok but honestly, the members looked a bit old for kpop.
Not commenting on talent since they haven’t debut and showed their singing/dancing etc yet.
Agree with everyone… if it’s a different name, they might have a better chance.
Bad taste really !
