It’s been four years since Gummy has made her comeback. A lot of people were surprised when she made her return as an artist not under YG Entertainment but through C-Jes Entertainment. In an interview with Newsen, the singer revealed the reasons for her big move.
“It’s been about half a year since I moved agencies and I think my old company has that certain tendency. YG is a company that doesn’t release albums that often,” Gummy started talking about her previous agency.
“They’re the type to release an album when there’s good music. The artists agree to that and each singer also has a lot of greed in wanting to perform with good music. When I was in YG, there were times when I made an album and then it was turned down once or twice. After some contemplating, I decided to move agencies,” explained Gummy.
Her move to C-Jes Entertainment has given Gummy an opportunity to release her mini album this June with the title song, “I loved… I have no regrets.”
“There was a second trial and error period for my album that was turned down, and I organized my thoughts about that whole process. With that, I started working on my mini album at this new agency I joined and came out with an album in six months,” she added.
It wasn't an easy decision for her to move agencies especially that YG Entertainment is one that has groomed her to be the singer that she has become. However, there is a need for growth and change, and the other company has given her an opportunity to do so. However, Gummy says that more than it being an opportunity, it is a natural process.
“There were a lot of things I learned while I was in YG. It still feels like home to me now. However, there are a lot of singers under YG Entertainment and I wished to do the music I like even more freely. My fans or the other people asked me, ‘Why don’t you release albums more often?’ and because of that, I thought of the difficult situations that I was in and I naturally made my move,” said Gummy.
“We didn’t separate on bad terms. The president (Yang Hyun Suk) was the one who was apologetic. He told me that if there’s a place that could take better care of me than what YG was already doing, I should comfortably go there. So I think what I’m doing now is just natural,” Gummy further explained.
With every album she releases, Gummy gets a lot of compliments from the listening public. The same goes for her latest song, “I loved…I have no regrets.”
“More than getting popularity, my goal for this album is to receive recognition musically. I’m thankful for that. It’s expected to have divided opinions whenever an album is released but I am very happy that there are people who talk good things about me and who recognize my efforts,” said Gummy.

Date: 2014-06-20 02:17 pm (UTC)I wouldn't call myself a YG sympathizer but I don't like jumping to conclusions about something that I have no real evidence on... And I don't know how things are behind the scenes so I'm not going to take cryptic messages from the artists as fact or anything lol

Date: 2014-06-20 08:57 pm (UTC)KVIPs have been spilling things on the inner machinations of YG for a while. GD complaining about being forced to do things to his music he didn't want to, should have been enough for people. There is a difference between knowing that YG is giving them a platform versus kissing YG ass. How can you sympathize with a guy that said he screwed up his own wife's career and had been lusting after her since middle school? That's just shameful.

As far as I know
Date: 2014-06-20 04:27 pm (UTC)Gummy is another case, with her he probably was turning down albums because he didn't have time to promote her knowing she's not that profitable. He's a businessman at the end of the day. Bae also confirmed his album not being out for 4 years had to do with him too, he wasn't satisfied with some things, scratched a lot of stuff and also YG wasn't satisfied with it. Seungri got two solo albums already and despite YG not promoting him as well as GD or even Bae, he still put them out. So I honestly don't think YG is stopping Tabi from putting one out too if he wanted to. If he has a soft spot for anyone in that company it's the boys.
I've yet to see a single person shading Top in any way, shape or form here.
Re: As far as I know
Date: 2014-06-21 09:00 pm (UTC)Second of all, people need to bring me receipts when they say that TOP prefers acting over music. He said as recent as his promos from Alumni that 1. Music gives him more freedom and 2. Music is his first love and he's been talking about a solo album for 4 fucking years. Since 2008 YG has been saying that people are not ready for TOP's music, that it's not popular music. Said it from his own mouth on BIG BANG TV when they were in Japan he went to visit TOP's dorm, as well as other interviews during that time. Turn it up, as some of the fans remember was supposed to be the first single from his album which never materialized. That's how the single /was/ promoted.
Seungri got his first album because he told on Big Bang when they wanted to run away. They said this on Strong Heart and Taeyang recently talked about it in an interview. The second album he got, he was told, you want one, you have a week to do it. Who in the right mind besides Seungri would pull an album out of his ass in one week? Seungri did it to prove a point and had his shit overlap with strong players of KPOP including EXO and never won anything for it. If that YG action is defendable then you are not a VIP. TOP is not Seungri. He is not going to release something he doesn't want, and if he has to stand his ground like Youngbae, he's going to do it even if takes him 10 years.
Third, KVIPs have told us that when it comes to solo promos, they have to band together to promote their work, including GD's because YG's priority is Big Bang, the team. They go as far as to say that GD's Heartbreaker promos was 90% on them. If this doesn't indicate how YG sees solos, then Idk what does.
Re: As far as I know
Date: 2014-06-21 09:45 pm (UTC)I never said he prefers acting over music, I said he seems more concentrated on his acting career nowadays. I never claimed that music isn't his his first love or that it doesn't give him more freedom, he indeed said those things. YG saying his type of music isn't popular wouldn't really make him stop Tabi from releasing it period. CL's TBF was by no means a radio friendly song, it had no melody and YG still put it out knowing that it wouldn't do that well on the charts.
You can't claim with such certainty that it's YG stopping him. I'm not saying YG would let him put everything he wants, but he would defo come to a compromise in order to put that album out if that's what Tabi really wanted.
Seungri had a small amount of time to put both of his albums out. His first album was done in under a month or so.
"Who in the right mind besides Seungri would pull an album out of his ass in one week?" someone who already had tracks for it. Someone who was prepared and ready.
You're misunderstanding me, I'm by no means defending YG. He's an ass when it comes to many things, he cares a lot about his money, and he's a businessman first then everything else. I'm not defending him, but you can't be so blind as to place all the blame for Tabi not putting out an album out in all this time, on him alone. I'm saying if Tabi really wanted to put out an album that much, he would have done it by now. I'm pretty sure Tabi knows that the business he's in is first and foremost that; A BUSINESS. He knows that you cant have everything exactly how you want it, he's also been in YGE long enough to learn that. If he wanted an album full of stuff he wants despite what YG thinks, he would have put out a mixtape by now. He would have left YGE by now if YG was so stuck on not letting him do the music he wants that much as you claim.
Please don't try me with that "you're not a VIP" talk. I love those boys and I support all their group and solo endeavors. I also call them out on the shit they do when it's necessary as I do with my other bias, with YG's ass and with anyone else.
Of course his priority is Big Bang it doesn't take a scientist to guess that. As it should be because if not for Big Bang they might not have had those solo careers. Big Bang is his bread and butter, it's one of the biggest reasons his company is where it's at right now. He's an ass and makes a lot of wrong choices, but again, those boys are his favorites, he still goes all out on them, he helps them with all he can.
