YG’s Psy-TAEYANG-WINNER-Akdong Musician-BIGBANG’s Comeback Is Imminent… Who Is the First?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

YG ENTERTAINMENT is working to the fullest, for a bunch of comebacks of its artists.

TAEYANG who was known to be the first YG project for 2014 and Psy who has already scheduled his comeback are to come back in February. , Plus, BIGBANG’s comeback, WINNER’s debut, and Akdong Musician’s comeback are all scheduled for February this year. This big bundle of comebacks is surprising fans, because YG is advancing a significant number of such big projects at the same time. Usually, each of such comeback projects takes more than a month for an entertainment agency.


It is highly likely that TAEYANG will start the march of YG artists’ comebacks. TAEYANG’s solo album had originally been known to be released last year, but the schedule was put off to early this year. However, while the schedule of other artists’ comeback has been disclosed in this January, when TAEYANG will come back is still kept as a “secret”. As his single “RINGA LINGA” released last year received a rave review, fans have high expectations for his new music.

According to YG’s plan for 2014 that was disclosed last year, BIGBANG’s new song will be released right after TAEYANG’s solo comeback. Such a plan was a strategy designed to prove BIGBANG’s continuing power in the music scene, following the success of each BIGBANG member’s solo album last year. Of course, there are some variables for the plan, which include, TAEYANG’s entry into the American music market. TAEYANG was offered an opportunity to perform in the United States after the success of his “RINGA LINGA” in the country, but YG had an issue of overlapping schedule for TAEYANG in the United States and Korea. So, there may be a change in the schedule of BIGBANG’s comeback.

WINNER’s official debut, which is YG’s biggest project for the year 2014, is scheduled for February as well. As WINNER’s debut is thought to enjoy the biggest effect when it is done right after the end of Mnet’s “WINNER TV” that is currently aired, WINNER’s debut is highly likely to be made in February. However, because WINNER takes part in many parts of their debut album just as BIGBANG did, the schedule may be put off than originally planned.

Coincidentally, Akdong Musician is to meet fans in the middle of February, too. They are to perform on the stage of SBS “K-Pop Star 3” in February. This performance is not thought to be their official debut since YG is advancing many of other debut and comeback projects. However, as Akdong Musician has been always successful on music charts with songs they wrote themselves, they may disclose a new song unexpectedly and sweep music charts.

Most of all, there is Psy. Psy’s comeback has drawn keen attention from people around the world, and it is likely to be made in February. Psy will begin the shooting of his new music video in the middle of this month. He will create several songs this time. He has not disclosed how many songs he will present with his comeback this year, but it is known that he will create multiple music videos. Among them, there is a song featured by American hip-hop mogul SnoopDogg. Many people have a high interest in Psy’s new songs. Psy has said that he is making the new songs pleasantly with his first resolution, differently from when he was producing “Gentleman” with “too many thoughts in mind”.

Where's 2NE1 though? Epik High?
And stop trolling, we all know BB will comeback in july/august or something, Akdong Musician will only release a single and so on

Yeah, where the fuck is 2ne1? I feel sooo bad for them.

I secretly think YG is sexist or something.

[kingalexarnold.livejournal.com]

he is sexist and he is also a douche that has no problem ruining someones career if it benefits him. look at what he did to his wife career.

[dolo-0.livejournal.com]

I never heard about this what exactly did he do?

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

(Not sure if this is what op means but) The group she was in under YG completely bombed and eventually died out; he married her after that.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

He deliberately fucked with his wife's group's career because he didn't want other people falling for her. IDK why but Korea thought that was cute - personally I think that is uber fucked up and I'm not sure why Eunjoo ended up marrying him like why

[dolo-0.livejournal.com]

That is nowhere near cute. Thank you for the explanation :)

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

There's nothing secret about that, though...

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

lol mte

[mollyana.livejournal.com]

where is the secret?

[bamboo.livejournal.com]

I secretly think YG is sexist or something.

Fixed it for you.

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

MESS.

I'm pissed on behalf of Akdong especially, they deserve an all out debut like Lee Hi go, not playing second fiddle to every other YG act ever.

YG......

aaliyaaaaaaah

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

Time management is not in the YG dictionary. Approximately 1% of this will actually happen. smh

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

On one hand, having five acts promote in the same month (not even including the group going on a world Asia tour with only a few new songs) is terrible. On the other hand, there's literally no chance of all of that actually happening in February, so there's no reason to get worked up.

Someone said he's announcing them all to be in February so with all the delays + nonsense they'll actually have staggered releases throughout the rest of the year. I don't even know what I expect anymore, I only care about seeing Akdong (and maybe Lee Hi at some point too).

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. Hahaha. Ha. Like any of this happen.
I do still think the newer acts stand a chance. Might be just a single for Akdong, but I don't see them being delayed too much (and it would be a terrible market strategy). I just hope they'll have a PROPER debut, we all know how debuts are important. I want to hear what they can release, especially self-written songs :)

BIG BANG and Taeyang are going to be delayed until eternity lol. 2NE1 doesn't exist anymore (sigh) and... well... Where is Lee Hi ? Time to come back at some point, no ?

[kingalexarnold.livejournal.com]

the first one that should be making a comeback is 2NE1 since they don't have much time left before they go on tour. they really need to bring out the new album and properly promoted it.

BB themselves have said they barely started working on BB music. all this talk about them coming back last year or on Feb is just bs. they have nothing completed yet. i don't understand why YG keeps making up shit because it just pisses off fans.

Lies...Lies...and more Lies

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

And for any Korean readers from YG: 거짓말 같아요...

2NE1 World Tour tickets are on sale so they better be the next comeback

Re: Lies...Lies...and more Lies

[21banged.livejournal.com]

Seriously if there is no new material from them....it'll be like the final nail on their career coffin

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

none of this is actually going to happen though. why make promises you can't [and won't] keep?

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

TAEYANG’s entry into the American music market

LOOOLZ

I only see WINNER and Psy happening, everything else are lies.
Poor Tae, I always complain about him, but YG is such an asshole to him.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

My feelings for ya YG after reading this article:



Also can Korean 2NE1 fans arrange a big demonstration in front of the YG building and egg this man and his car?

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I loved hate you performances. This song didn't get as much love as it deserved :(

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Hate You is among my favourite 2NE1's songs and, somehow, I never saw the lives O.o Thank you for this !
I miss 2NE1 :(

[21banged.livejournal.com]

I find it amazing how unperturbed most of them are, spewing out crap about how 'they'll come back when they're ready', 'YG knows best' etc etc LIKE NO.

Also Hate You perfs were so on point I loved all of it

[impatiences.livejournal.com]

i literally hate YG, i am constantly blown away by how bad his decision-making process is.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

and none for 2ne1 =/

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

Only YG stan who is excited to be honest...

[sailorpeaches.livejournal.com]

OP like your icon

and obligatory #save2NE1

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

BB is having a comeback as 5? About time tbh.

[kurochibimask.livejournal.com]

his bullshit is getting more and more annoying

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

He's such an idiot. I wish Kpop had an ignore button which I could be free from his bullshit. Just fucking release the songs without all this third rate build up. For once copy Beyonce, your dumbass loves imitating black artists don't it. Well this time we encourage you YG.

[frequency.livejournal.com]

never expect anything from anybody

especially yg

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

If it was anyone but YG I'd be worried but YG promising comebacks is a lot like your new year's resolutions. :P

Sometimes I think YGE is a victim of it's own success. A few years ago when it was just Big bang, their solos and the new group 2ne1 (& Se7en) it was easy to handle things. Now we have, Big bang, all their successful solos, 2ne1 and their solos, Psy went from a semi popular once a year artist to the most famous south korean in the world. Lee hi was just suppose to lead the way for Supearls, boom she's another daebak hit. Epic High joined YG. Akdong Musician wins KPS and joins YG, he needs Winner because bread winners Big bang are getting army age soon.
It came to a point were Seven and Gummy were the only people in the company not guaranteed all-kills or triple crowns.
I get tired just thinking how to fit all that in to a year.
It seems to me YGE is going to have to do some overhauling or maybe even outsourcing if he expects to manage and profit from all these artists.
(And god help him if the next Kpop star winner picks YG too)

TL;DR, YGE still don't understand how calenders work.

[blackstarnebula.livejournal.com]

There's 12 months in a year tbh, he can have a comeback a month and it should be fine. Have a giant calendar and say xyz artist comes out this month. If someone needs to move around, that's fine.

[dolo-0.livejournal.com]

If SM can do it successfully with groups that have 5+ members, their solo activities, and world tours, without going back on their word (which I think they do great, by not giving us empty promises). Then YG can do it, with the right management

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

That was my point. YG needs to upgrade his management to handle all these groups. I could give all of YG to SM and they still would be able to put out everyone in SME & YGE's stuff on time.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

I really wish he would either just outsource or make sure each of his artists can be independent in terms of composing/producing so that they can just release stuff when they're ready but he is such a goddamn micromanager I sometimes feel physically ill watching him trying to handle all this

He needs to fucking grow up and realise that his company is not small anymore, and he needs a whole lot more people helping him manage his company and artists

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

I agree. I think that's part of what happen to 2ne1 too. He admitted he personally managed 2ne1 but that he's let them languish once he started working on Kpop star. And unlike Big bang, 2ne1 can't manage themselves the way Big bang does. (GD, Taeyang and even Seungri tend to tell the company when they are ready to put something out.) CL, Dara, Bom, somebody need to get with Teddy and take control of their own fortunes the way GD does.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

I really only see CL being able to do this as YG has essentially quashed any kind of self confidence the other girls might have in themselves and their abilities. The man needs to retire asap I can't stand the way he treats his female artists

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

He should just really shut the fuck up about comebacks. I can't deal with him anymore.

[vermicelli-rice.livejournal.com]

Only waiting for akdong to slay digital charts.

[5h0rtyy.livejournal.com]

ughhh..YG better follow his calendar bcause I need YB's album!!

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

YG is an arrogant douche and there is no reasoning with this man what so ever. This way of managing his artists WILL be his downfall, he'll be DSP 2.0 soon enough.

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

LIES

[21banged.livejournal.com]

aaaaand still no 2NE1. Fuck you YG

F U C K Y O U

Now I'm 10000% positive they're going on this suicide mission with no new material. Fuck that CL leave this hell hole and take the rest of 2NE1 with you ya'll can do so much better >:[

[chibiyunie.livejournal.com]

Honestly, how about 2NE1? They have their fucking "world tour" in March and you are seriously going to do that without a new album.. AGAIN? Honestly, they have only released three new songs in which "Missing You" was the only decent one imo.

Sigh. They have seriously such a disappointing discography (1 Studio & 2 EP's) for a group that is close to 5 years running.

[bamboo.livejournal.com]

Chances of this actually happening, in order of priority:
Psy - because he manages his own stuff and is like an agency within the agency
Big Bang - because they're YG's golden goose
Taeyang - (see above reason)
Winner - because of public pressure
Akdong Musician - in a probably halfassed attempt because he's contractually obligated to debut them
and none for 2NE1. Hoping they don't go on their Tour with only four new songs and recycled props again.
