YG fandom torn apart because of Yang Hyun-Suk's favoritism for 2NE1?

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment's fandom has shown an alarming increase of "infighting," that is, fans fighting against fans.

This is due to the rising conflict between Big Bang fans and 2NE1 fans. Big Bang fans, are said to be the head of conflict, by saying that YG Entertainment CEO, Yang Hyun-Suk has "2NE1 favoritism." There was mounting frustration against YGE when they declared that no YG Family member would be attending the December 30 "KBS Gayo Daejun," by declaring a boycott. Because of this, rumors that Big Bang sub-unit composed of G-Dragon and TOP, who are doing their promotional activities for their "GTOP" album, may not be appearing in KBS2 "Music Bank," because of the situation.

Big Bang fans have posted their discontent on various entertainment-related bulletin boards, saying things like, "Last year, the most active group from YG is 2NE1, and they went to all music programs. But now because of their boycott against the KBS Gayo Daejun, G-Dragon and TOP's promotions might suffer damages! Why is Yang Hyun-Suk, the president of YG Entertainment, showing favoritism towards 2NE1, last 2010?" expressing their dissatisfaction.

Conscious of the backlash against their December 30 boycott, YG CEO Yang Hyun-Suk made a statement through their blog, "YG's reason on refraining artists from TV appearances." In this article, it was stated, "The reason behind why YG reduces TV appearances is because of our concern for our artists. Especially for 2NE1, if they are set to appear in a show, they have to start early in the morning, at two o'clock, just to get their hair and make-up ready, and then have to rush to the studio for rehearsals, causing them to have little sleep. And if they have other schedules the night or the day before, then it gets more tiring," he said.

But this article brought more dissatisfaction for Big Bang fans. Fans said, "So it's because 2NE1 needs elaborate hair and make-up. So because of that, Big Bang's 2 members' activities will become endangered," they retorted.

Big Bang rose to popularity because of hits like "Lies," and "Last Goodbye," joining the ranks of other popular YG artists like Se7en and Gummy.

Same old same old. Crazy fangirls and bored netizens. YAWN. Lame ass netizen drama should have it's own community. "OhYesTheyDID,TheyAlwayzDo"

lmao +1 =))

I don't think VIPs hate Blckjacks now or anything like that but there's definitely some upset people. YG does tend to forget about all of his other artists once of them becomes really hot though. It wouldn't be a first.

all this waiting is making some people cray cray - I understand but don't blame my girls

[woaiweier.livejournal.com]

Well. YB went on all the shows to promote his solo. -.- He isn't part of BB? -.-

[memopanda.livejournal.com]

He only counts as a member of Big Bang if we can use him as ammunition against 2NE1 and YG!!!1... whut

[memopanda.livejournal.com]

One or two bored netizens find something to complain about suddenly the YG fandom is being torn apart! Frankly, Big Bang's comeback is coming up and no-one will have any complaints then. And I don't see what YG's decision to boycott one show has anything to do with 2NE1. It was just a coincidence, craycray netizens. Basically...

what mean "No1curr" ??!!

[meltedd.livejournal.com]

out of the 4 channels, I think Mubank is the leasttt suitable for their music anw. 3 out of 4 music stations isn't too bad, is it? Would like to see a fresh performance everytime, instead of repetition weekinweekout.

And there's no need to blame the girls, if anything YG's favourite is definitely Ji. And we know he's a lazybutt let him get some rest on Fridays alright? ;)

[hannahsmeep.livejournal.com]

they talk like its one entire fandom against another. Some craycray people and thats it. VIP and BLACKJACKS are a hot ass family

[angel-of-blue.livejournal.com]

LOL what is 'torn apart'? They do that all the time.

[nimco.livejournal.com]

lol oh well. Kinda sad they wont be on music bank tho but whatever.

[cindel.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I just don't understand why companies have to make decisions like this for all of their artists instead of the ones the issue pertains to.

You can always trust kpop fans to be dissatisfied with something.
