On March 13th, OSEN reported that YG will be debuting their youngest boy group to date this July with the members ranging from ages 15 to 17.
It will feature K-pop Star Season 2 winner Bang Yedam who was the runner up from AKMU in 2013. He has been training for many years and is awaiting his debut.
An official from YG stated that this boy group will differ from other YG boy groups as groups like BIGBANG, iKON, and WINNER have all debuted with members in their 20, and this group will have a younger average and have all trained for an average of 5 years proving that these kids are ready and have met YG's passing.
Bang Yedam appeared on K-pop Star Season 2 when he was 12 but was able to captivate the audience with his dancing skills to multiple songs like Justin Bieber's Baby, Stevie Wonder's Isn't She Lovely, Culture Club's Karma Chameleon, and Michael Jackson's Black or White.
During the season, SM, YG, and JYP all fell in love with Bang Yedam as he filled the studio with charms and also had a lot of support. He became the final runner up and ended up singing an exclusive contract with YG Entertainment soon after.
YG will be having a busy year for 2017, as they plan to focus on the comebacks with iKON, WINNER, BLACKPINK, and SECHSKIES this year.

While YG acts are usually MIA, does somebody remember that One exists? Boy struggled through SMTM twice and both times all the hype got wasted away and he's at point 0 still.

Date: 2017-03-13 06:55 am (UTC)NEVERTHELESS, we all know that YGE is the worst, most inadequate, inefficient company at promoting and they always manage to lose the momentum their rookie groups built. Therefore, Yang hyunsuck can choke on his own d*ck.

Date: 2017-03-13 08:59 am (UTC)Anyways this is YGE I don't trust they'll do 90% of shit they say and the other 10% is always done 4+ years after the announcements start.
Just give me iKON that's all.

Date: 2017-03-13 09:00 am (UTC)I want BlackPink to comeback :( Winner and iKon deserve their own go as well, even if I'm not following them much, it's been way too long, they had successful debuts for... well, not much in the end. It's so frustrating.
I hope Seungri is getting ready to promote his comeback by himself because YG is never going to give him green light

Date: 2017-03-13 06:10 pm (UTC)That's what I was going to ask. I was wondering if this new group and the blacklabel group are the same or if they were playing on debuting two boy groups within one year techinically both from YG
