Yang Hyun Suk Says, “YG’s New Girl Group Will Not Put up Sex Appeal”

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

“Not a sexy girl group!”

YG Entertainment’s head producer Yang Hyun Suk mentioned his plan for the debut of YG’s new girl group.

In a press meeting held on the 26 after BIGBANG’s Seoul concert, Yang said, “We will make four new groups debut this year”.

He went on to say, “We aim to make a new girl group debut in the first half of this year. What is clear now is that they will not be a girl group that puts up sex appeal”.

Before the remark, Yang once stated, “I will create a girl group that does hip-hop music with an appearance like Girl’s Generation”. Actually, last year, nice appearance of some female YG trainees including Jenny Kim who featured for G-DRAGON’s solo album was disclosed, which drew much attention.

Yang made the people at the press meeting laugh by saying, “To my eyes, they are pretty of course. But what soldiers see is different from what I see”. Then, Yang went on to express his wish for the success of the new girl group, saying, “I think capabilities are the most important. In fact, the girl group who represents our times is Girl’s Generation. I hope YG’s new girl group can follow their footsteps”.

this fucking press meeting junkie

Someone really needs to organise an intervention for this issue

Damn double damn YG. You just threw 2NE1 under a party bus, ran them over, then rolled back so you could dump a keg of leftover beer on them. T__T

Also, this gril group (of ever-changing concepts) doesn't exist until they release a mv. They just don't.

[martha-sal.livejournal.com]

lol mte, at this point he might even be making all of this up, who knows?

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

oh my god yg please stop talking.

“We aim to make a new girl group debut in the first half of this year. What is clear now is that they will not be a girl group that puts up sex appeal”.

You can't "put up" sex appeal buddy. You either have it or you don't.

The more he rambles on and on about 2Jenny1 the less interested I become. Not that I was ever really interested in the first place.

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

i think he means they're not going to do the sexy concept which is everywhere rn

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

such an a-hole. i can say that, right? that word fits.

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

*fucking asshole

[turtles-tszx.livejournal.com]

4 new group debut... LOL!! Yeah right, you cant even produce a new album for your artist and now you're saying you're going to debut 4 group... Stop comparing SNSD with your new girl group, it;s never a good thing bcos people will expect too much and they're going to get so many hate comment if they dont live up to the expectation.

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

preach.

[izbetterthanu.livejournal.com]

he needs to stop with the SNSD comparisons, it will only hurt the new girls

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

mte

[chanxchan015.livejournal.com]

Like I said on netizenbuzz Jennie Kim and her back up dancers won't have a sexy concept.

[heartsolid.livejournal.com]

They won't "put up" anything except your shit, YG. We probably won't see them until 2015 anyway bc this dumbass better give us 2NE1 and Taeyang's album.

And his version of hip hop + SNSD image just sounds tragic like their IGAB era.

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

L O L. Oh how true.
This probably won't go over well. I'll just be over eating popcorn listening to the latest 2NE1 album thanking God YG finally gave us something we WANTED instead of paying attnetion to the mess that is gonna happen.

He serisouly thinks he can debut 4 groups and host 2NE1's tour, multiple albums and a YG world tour?

Yeah...okay. *rolls eyes*

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

every time i read this, it feels like he's saying 'sex appeal' like it's a dirty word

'oh no women being sexy ahhhhhhhhh noooooooo make it stooooooooop'

#shutupyg
#save2ne1

can YGE please lock this troll in the basement and hire a PR specialist instead? the more he talks the more I feel the urge to throw a shoe at him. why must i be so in love with his artistes though? also should why do i get this bad feeling that i'm gonna need #savewinner in the future too?

[uguukawaii.livejournal.com]

embarrassing we really need to end yg as a dude and a label

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

we're all waiting for panda to open his own agency and take ToDae with him

[coldhives.livejournal.com]

all talk no action

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

SNSD IS the top girl group but having him say it repeatedly is like hearing your parents say that this other unrelated kid is the best/better than you can ever be and it hurts not because it's the truth but the fact that if your own parents don't believe in you and think the best of you, who else will? Poor analogy but it's only making 2NE1 look pitiful.

He should just shut it. Less talk and more action.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

I completely understand your analogy and agree with it

2NE1 had so much going for them. If YG had played his cards right he'd be saying 2NE1 were the greatest girl group of this era gawd he's an asshole

Since he already has Baby 2NE1 training in the wings

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

What exactly is the YG SNSD supposed to do? I'm a bit unclear...because if the baby group got named the next 2NE1 that means this group couldn't manage that...or are they just a large group?

Since I just finished reading similar article at NB (credit to NB)

'They will have SNSD visuals but hip hop music in style...... Realistically, the girl group to represent our generation is SNSD. I hope they will become a girl group to follow their path'- This is what YG means.

Pretty and talented.
Like the rest of idols population tbh.

At one point, I was excited about this group, but now, just shut up YG.
Debut them & then we can talk.
And I hope those girls have self esteem as high as a mountain. With all the media-play done by their brainless boss, those girls better have extraordinary level of talents or they ended up as netizens' lunch.

Stop talking. Stop giving out empty promises.

Just drop whoever's teaser, debut them, then talk.

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

how about you salvage the groups you already have instead of destroying what you haven't (and might not ever) put out?

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

ding ding ding we have a winner! (pun intended)

[kwangsoo.livejournal.com]

is he trying to turn SNSD's huge fangirl population against the new girl group?

[cordyceps.livejournal.com]

lol right. Look at what E-Tribe did when Dal Shabet debuted, comparing them to SNSD. Their hate cafe was bigger than most peoples' fan cafes, just because of that one comment.

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

I he close to retirement yet...

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

I think he's getting old and senile and he's talking about 2NE1 here, idk

[princess-momo.livejournal.com]

you lying liar

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

oh my god i just want to punch him in the face. like right in the nose.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I ould aim lower, a lot

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

He really doesn't understand fan culture. 2ne1 debuted at the right time, with the right circumstances. I don't think these girls will have a successful debut.
