YG Says No Family Concert for 20th Anniversary, Focus on New GG

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment is celebrating its 20th anniversary today! May 20 marks the 20th year since the company was founded.

Yang Hyun Suk, the founder of the entertainment agency, debuted in 1992 with Seo Taiji and Boys. In 1996 he opened the company that would foster artists like Jinusean, One Time, Lexy, Se7en, Wheesung, Gummy, Big Mama, BIGBANG, 2NE1, WINNER, iKON, and PSY. The company is also home to actors such as Cha Seung Won, Kang Dong Won, Lee Jong Suk, Kim Hee Ae, and Choi Ji Woo.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary, Yang Hyun Suk told OSEN in an interview that he had passed out rice cakes at the company restaurant.

“I’m not planning any sort of event,” he said. “There are no plans for a party or concert. There are a lot of things to do before launching our new girl group so we don’t have time to spare. Our artists have to work to live so I thought it wouldn’t make sense to take time out to celebrate ourselves.”

There are also no plans for a YG Family concert this year. “People think that we’re a big company, but I think we’re actually far from that goal,” Yang Hyun Suk said. “There are a lot of things I still want to do.”

YG, how about you celebrate by actually sticking to your plans for once..

I would be ok with this is he actually does what he says he wants to do and sticks to schedule.

Praying the gg finally sees the light of day...

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

I thought a majority of the new gg left the company. But goodluck to the trainees still standing, if they ever debut that is.

He said that the group have a lot of 'new faces' and confirmed that Hana and sua aren't in the group.

It'll be deep if Jenny doesn't get to debut after being a trainee for most of her life

It's a shame that there won't be a family show, but there's always the 25th anniversary that they could do it. Also, I'm guessing that most of the artists will prolly be taking part in bigbang's 10th anniversary show.

"Our artists have to work to live" Oh, he realizes just now? Lmao

[oxfordowls1.livejournal.com]

I'm so sceptical abt this new girl group actually debuting but at least they don't have to do a survival show...

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

I feel like those last 4/5 years were their survival show, just that we don't get to see this, but with all the drags/changing lineup/failed promises of debut etc. it had to be nasty lol

"One Time"

*1TYM get it right.

"Our artists have to work to live"

Not if their names are Minzy and Bom.

Let's be real, there ain't no concert because one of their main attractions, who always open the show, imploded (2NE1) and they have no plans for them and the other (Bigbang) are about to start enlisting. Using the new girl group is an excuse. In 2014 AKMU and Winner debuted and y'all managed to have a whole ass tour.

Well that's a shame considering this is the last time he's going to be able to have enough artists to do one for a while.

IDK why people are saying this GG is late when he said in 2012 that he was gonna debut a girl group in 2016 but ok

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

Because he is late?


There was more than one group announced for debut. One was supposed to debut in 2012 in addition to Supearls before they disbanded and the 2nd was posted on YGE's channel in 2012 with the video titled "Future 2NE1 (4 years later)"




YGE Reveals Album Release Plans for Su Pearls, New Girl Group, and 2NE1
thunderstix August 13, 2012


YG Entertainment dropped some additional info on their upcoming two girl groups as well as 2NE1’s approximate album release date.

On August 13, YGE spoke with local media Star News and said, “Su Pearls will debut in September, while our other new girl group will debut in October.”


Shortly after Su Pearls’ debut, YGE will showcase their much anticipated new girl group. No word has come out regarding their group name, but YGE has released the profile of the five members through its official blog, YG-Life, over the last few months. It’s still unclear what the new girl group will look like, but since it’s their first girl group in three and a half years since 2NE1’s debut, fans and the press are eagerly waiting to see them.

“We still can’t reveal the actual number of members, but we’re aiming for an October debut,” YGE told Star News.

Stay tuned for more updates!

"Future 2NE1 (4 years later)"
this is clearly the group he's debut lmao after 2NE1 just lowkey disbanded and 2012+4=2016
so he's not late

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

I know Future 2NE1 is supposed to debut this year. There still was supposed to be another group. The Future 2NE1 video was made up of 12+13 year old trainees (it says so in the beginning). He clearly wasn't going to debut that group in 2012.

There was a previous girl group that had to keep a member out of their music show promos because the member was too young. I think her name was Janey.


The other YG girl group was supposed to have the older trainees including Jennie Kim, Yuna Kim (she left YG), Eunbi(left YG), Jisoo (who currently has been doing cfs with Lee Minho + Ikon), Lalice (who now does YG's Nonagon campaigns). That's why Jennie was being pushed so much in YG related promos around 2012/2013. She featured on GD, Seungri, and Lee Hi's albums and did performances with them.

Anyway YG never sticks to a calendar so he is always late.

You do know he can change the entire line-up and still claim that it's this group, right?

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

really???? But he could have done a show and promoted/introduced the new group in it. Kill 2 birds with one stone.
