YG Entertainment to debut an “SNSD-like” group next year




YG Entertainment has made an announcement that’s gaining major public interest! They’ve announced that they are currently in the works of putting together a charming and talented girl group; one that will be like SNSD, but with some YG flair.

During his recent interview with StarIn, Yang Hyun Suk stated, “We have plans to debut new artists before the third quarter of next year.” He added that of those new artists, one will be “an attractive and talented girl group like SNSD, but with some YG flavor.”
YG Entertainment is home to major artists like Big Bang and 2NE1, and they’ve established themselves as one of Korea’s major entertainment labels. Before he went on to talk about his new girl group, Yang Hyun Suk revealed his process on how he chose which trainees to debut.

When it comes to selecting the members, the ones who performed the best looked the most appealing, that’s all! (laughs)”. He continued, ”I think these days, there are a lot of young people who are extremely talented, and are also very attractive. …It took five years before Big Bang was able to make their first debut, but because these kids are so talented these days, and since all the studios have state-of-the-art technology, I believe it’ll be possible to produce a new group within two years.”

YG Entertainment currently hosts about 30 trainees, and he plans on debuting a few rookie groups towards mid-year 2012, one of which being the ‘YG SNSD’.

He assures, however, that the new groups will be different from anything YG has ever done, and that their style will not be anything like that of Big Bang’s or 2NE1’s.

He continued, “I like to try out new things that others have yet to, and if you take a look at all the groups that YG has produced (such as Big Mama, Gummy, Se7en, Big Bang, or 2Ne1), all of their styles are unique. It’ll be no different for these new artists.”

Yang Hyun Suk was at one point one of the members of the legendary “Seo Taiji & Boys“. When asked if he missed being on stage, he replied, “I actually don’t miss it… I enjoy seeing our groups on stage more and working behind the scenes to make the stage possible for them. This is more me.”

YG smiled contently as he ended, “I love each of our YG groups; they’re like my own children. Everyday I ponder upon how I can “raise” them better and how I can create the next best idol group… it’s fun.”

Stay tuned to allkpop for more updates on this interesting new girl group from YGE!

I was actually kind of wondering if YGE planned on debuting a new group, so this is going to be interesting.

I don't really mind that the group has so many members (if that's really the case, who knows)... I just think it's a bit too soon for him to release another girl group and that a boy group would've been better suited. IDK, I guess that's just me, but I know I'll probably end up loving the new girl group anyway.

I wish TPD were with YG :(

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this. I trust YG more than any other company, tbh.

Interesting.

I'm wondering, though, in what aspect are they gonna be SNSD-like? Is it the more mainstream "Korea's Sisters" image thing or more like the fact that they do lots of individual activities like they used to before going to Japan?

Probably a mix of both but it sounds like he's talking more image-wise here.

Shouldn't have thrown in the SNSD name in there. SONES and Blackjacks are always throwing shade and snatching each other's wigs, which I don't understabd because both groups are so different. But now we're getting a hybrid of both so I am interested. I'm beginning to think that it's just going to be a bunch of Yoonas that can rap though.

The fights between those two fandoms are ridiculous imo.

Well I may be in the minority but as a huge SNSD fan and someone who occasionally enjoys YG I'm looking forward to what he has planned. Someone mentioned on AKP that this probably has to do with the collab between him and Avex which is I'm guessing a female group to appeal to the Japanese audience. I don't know how 2NE1 is going fair in the Japanese market so I'm just guessing here.

Another thing, are the majority of AKP readers living in pre 2009, most of them are shouting no at another cutsey girl group but SNSD haven't had a cute concept in a long time, thank god.

well ngl i'm disappointed but I guess it's natural to evolve and do something else. I hope the only relation to SNSD with this group is that they are attractive and talented (although SNSD aren't all talented imo) and that's it. But what's my opinion got to do with anything? LOL

but honestly YG, I wanted a boy group |:<

I wanted a mix group! Also something like 2AM or 4men, y'know targetting a more mature audience. Not another idol group jfc.

Hope they get to participate in variety shows, hope he meant variety skills when he said talented
