I kinda hope they are done. They don't deserve to be a Big3 with the **** they have done and stanning their group is a tragic experience. Also Yang Hyunsuk will be always steering the company from the backseat and profiting off the company and this man should be in jail. Had Yang Hyunsuk been a good person, the company could have Hybe's trajectory but he preferred to do shady business via political connection and serving japanese businessmen with prostitutes.

At this rate, if everyone is leaving, I wouldn’t be surprised if YGE is being sold at the end.

Seems to be going the other way, with the brothers Yang now publicly operating the company and executives and staffers coming back to work for them again, especially after the problems Psy's company had coming out of the pandemic.  Heck, when Seungri gets out of jail in February, probably expect an announcement of OT5 Big Bang at Coachella.

YG slowly became DSP 2.0 

Deserved for being the dungeon for a lots talented acts tho 

 

YG used to be very strong during their peak with high profile acts like Psy, Epik High, Akmu, Lee Hi, Um Jung Hwa, 2ne1 and BigBang

[Pluto6]

GD needs to have his own sub label like TheBlackLabel and Ador, and manage his artist like MHJ. Imagine a boy group and a girl group with GD's name on it, like it would be very successful. A boy group under GD would be a digital monster in Korea, which is something the other 4th gen boy groups lack.

I bet GDE very likely a YG subsidiaries just like TBL given how loyal GD to the YGE.

OMG will get overshadowed at this point 

I can see OMG skyrocketting to the top and them having 3 songs in top 5  OMG will supposedly be a bop like Hype Boy so they will have two smashes at once again (plus Hype Boy in top5 and Attention around top 10…. crazy )

[discreetinside]

The question for 2023 would be if Blackpink ever gonna renew their contract at YGE parent or sublabels like TBL.

[DelRey]

The fake new jeans stans are giving YG stan vibes

[K$Ellie]

see when you release quality  i hope OMG continues their streak, their release strategy is really smart since kpop is all about title tracks

 

don’t see what’s y2k about them tho other than some of the clothes/aesthetics? people love calling everything y2k these days and i think they just mean contemporary r&b influence

[Pluto6]

NewJeans are truly smashing EVERYWHERE, both globally and domestically  

Their Spotify numbers are kinda insane as well  

We need to hide our faves immediately 

 

Like I used to be torn between whether it was IVE or NewJeans who was bigger, but it looks like NewJeans is starting to distance themselves from IVE and starting to become the clear 4th gen leaders

They need a little break after this, i don't want them to get overexposed.

I’m sure they will attend all of those KCONs in the summer and maybe make a japanese debut so we won’t get as much content then

 

edit: also, IVE had 3 comebacks in a year and all were successful while the girls had solo gigs too, all year round - NJ will be good too, they need to solidify their status in Korea

 

it’s not good to have long breaks nowadays: see aespa or even stayc, they kinda got lost in the wave of new ggs

The real tea is that there is no "clear 4th gen leader" because just last year you all were saying aespa were the definitive #1 and now they're not even top5 according to some users here. Like what's gonna happen if NewJeans or IVE flop or underperform with their next comeback

For real:

 

People In 2019: « omg Itzy new NGG, 4th gen leader »

People In 2021: « omg Aespa new NGG, 4th gen leader »

People In 2022: « omg IVE/NJ new NGG, 4th gen leader »

I guess in 2023 it’s going to be:

 « omg Baemon new NGG, 4th gen leader »

Nah rookies need more exposure on their first few years to get more loyal and solid fanbase before they can afford to be kept on dungeon and having less comebacks.

Yeah we will never know the future for sure, but right now they are kinda stomping. It's kinda funny how people in here never mention (G)I-DLE in the discussion of 4th gen leaders when they have been doing just as well (if not better) than NewJeans, IVE & LE SSERAFIM this year + they also have an older catalog that starts from 2018

I would say BP seem more business savvy than 2NE1 but we never know

i can see yg using a blackpink comeback to debut Beamon

Twice is the perfect exemple of how this strategy doesn’t work in the long run. With too many cb the gp is not exited anymore. Thanks god IVE didn’t make a comeback in December !! 

ofc they shouldn’t follow the BP strategy either. 2 comeback per year is enough.

Gd is too loyal to YGE. Also I thought that a lot of ex YGE staff were in TBL that’s why Taeyang signed there? 
 

Anyways they really have a big management issues. 

 

 

 

Only Kush and Teddy are fixed old staff, the rest come and go, and majority are new staff (post 2017) so I really don't know why will he stay there, he can still use them as producers but sign with other company that will do major stuff to promote you. Not underground label when you huge artist.

You spilled, cause this is where YG has failed with TREASURE. Like I will never understand why YG had them in the dungeon for the entirety of 2021, when they had just debuted in August 2020  This is why TREASURE are so behind, cause the other bgs were able to release music and secure their fandoms, while TREASURE was being in the dungeon for their entire rookie year (13 months)   

YG is now trying to give them frequent comebacks, but it's kinda too late now. 

 

"My Treasure" was released in January 2021

 

And their next comeback after "MY TREASURE" was "JIKJIN" which was released in February 2022 (13 MONTHS LATER)

No way Seungri is returning in the industry. Just no way ! 
 

Yang old staff is coming back? Interesting…

Who is the current ceo of YGE? That woman? But I read that she also have so problems with the justice too?

 

YGE is going to have an internal war then. And BP renewal or not is going to play a big role.

Maybe he doesn’t want to do promotions?

In 2019 they got only 2 cb. Fancy smashed FS not.  But M&M was their longest hiatus and would  have been a big hit if it was a great song.  
RV had 3 cb in 2019, 3 flops in a row and then they cb with psycho. 
As long you don’t pull 4 cb in a year it doesn’t affect a group. NJ is a new group they need to be everywhere.

Sheep, are we gonna fill the ktrl endlist with SM acts only?
