The winner of the Japanese-Korean talent search, “Meet Tokyo Girl” has been announced as 14 year-old Jang Dayun. Hello! Project is a Japanese idol factory company responsible for mega pop acts like Morning Musume and Berryz Kobo. The company is lead by Tsunku, the man responsible for producing and writing nearly every song that comes out of Hello! Project. Tsunku announced Jang as the winner of the competition during a Berryz Kobo concert in Korea. No specific plans have been announced for Jang as to how she will enter the Japanese market. My guess is that she will disappear for a while to undergo more idol training. On his blog, Tsunku commented that while he felt comfortable with his choice of the winner, there were other applicants that he would like to train in Japan as well.
Her young age doesn’t surprise me. It is well known that the majority of Hello! Project’s audience are of ages that would rival any SNSD ajusshi in Korea.
