YG’s YANG HYUN SUK the first Korean International Power Players on Billboard

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment’s founder YANG HYUN SUK was chosen as one of International Power Players on Billboard Magazine.

International Power Players is a line of leaders of music business who brought about significant changes in the dynamics of the world music market. This was the first time this list was made, and YANG HYUN SUK was the one and only South Korean to be listed.

YANG stands shoulder to shoulder with world-renowned music business leaders, like AVEX’s CEO Matsuura, Sony Music’s UK CEO Nick Gatfield, SYCO Entertainment CEO Simon Cowell, and Live Nation Europe John Reid. Live Nation cooperated with YG for BIGBANG and 2NE1’s World Tour.

Billboard not only introduced YANG, but also spotlighted YG artists who are popular across the globe, showing the great influence of the artists in the world.

Billboard extolled YANG by saying he was the K-Pop star who established a genre of modern pop in South Korea when he made a debut as a member of Seotaeji and Boys, along with his achievement as the founder of the agency.

Billboard also wrote PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ and ‘Gentleman’ ranked #1 on Billboard’s Korea Hot 100, while BIGBANG’s World Tour attracted 800,000 fans in 12 countries, G-DRAGON’s Asia Tour 570,000 fans, and BIGBANG’s World Tour an unprecedented 771,000 fans. This alone was enough to show their borderless influence.

YANG commented, “Entertainment business is not limited to one country. With PSY’s success, the world turned their attention to GD, TAEYANG, BIGBANG, CL and 2NE1. 2014 will be a year of great success and achievement for YG.”

We can only hope, pray and make ritual sacrifices that it is so.

I feel that YG really is the face of his company in a lot of ways (which makes it easier for him to make these kind of lists). He talks to the press a lot and seems to constantly be doing interviews. I personally think the success of his company (especially recently) has more to do with his artists than with him necessarily but whatever.

Like.... I don't even know what the CEO of SM looks like, and I don't think he's ever done an interview???? Does anyone know???

the current SM CEO or the guy the company is named after?

I don't even think YG is necessarily the CEO of YG either? lol. I think his brother handles the business side of things while YG serves as the "middle man" between artists and business people. He mainly deals with creative stuff like training and creating new groups or overlooking albums and dances.

Both is brother and him are officially listed as CEO's.

It's this guy, Kim Young Min:



And no he mostly a behind the scenes type of guy. But then SM is a lot bigger than YG and YG used to be an artist himself so there's obviously going to be differences in how they handle their businesses.

[fireandbread.livejournal.com]

Lol is there ever a good reason to punch somebody??

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Yes! I wanna punch TOP's gorgeous face so bad! Or flick it. Haven't decided yet. I prolly should never be left alone with him.

When G-D goes into the military, YG's earnings are going to TANK. Might as well put him on this list instead.

Yeah, if you can figure out how to manage your acts properly it could be.

If he could learn how to properly delegate and not micromanage everything plus keep a frikkin schedule, every year could be a great success and achievement.
