I don't think YG would be so stupid. He must realize that as solo stars Lee Ha Yi can be almost as big as IU in Korea while Lee Michelle can be huge outside Asia.
probably ... but then again you'll never guess with YG. i also silently pray YG hires himself some staff to better manage his artistes promotion if he's planning on having different comebacks and debuts. i kinda find it annoying how he can't handle more than 1 promoting artiste at one time.
Pretty sure she got some stage presence considering she led all the votings except the last one (and even if PJM won it were Lee Ha Yi's song covers that were selling best digitally after the finale). And I'm pretty sure YG can train her to be much better performer. It's not like she's gonna debut tomorrow, but maybe in year or two.
yeah and seunghoon also led votings but that has no bearing on his talent as he was so obviously the weakest of all the last group of finalists. i'll give it to you that she can probably get better with training, but let's be real, things based on voting and popularity in korea is not an indicator of anything.
lets hope the stylist will learn HOW to deal with Lee Michelle's wonderful curves and hair...cause these pictures are NOT doing her justice....and she is freakin beautiful.
I am so glad everything is turning good for them. Yay, Lee Ha Yi really has that star material lol, Lee Michelle has an incredible voice I can't wait to see what they'll do with her. I watched only one stage of Lee Seunghoon, but he seemed very entertaining, and a good dancer.
why did he sign lee michelle and seunghoon?? idgi, michelle has some talent but i really dont find her an amazing singer and seunghoon is basically just a pretty face. plus yg will probably have no idea how to promote michelle in a country like SK and she'll flop. idk if it wasnt lee ha yi and mi jin he shouldn't have signed anyone imo
YG is pretty much in love with Lee Seunghoon, I mean...he legit cried for him when he got eliminated! lol. The boy's skills is basic right now, but he has the creativity,spunk and style of a YG member so It's expected that he was casted imo.
I agree about Michelle though, she was great at the beginning but when it boiled down to the back to back live performances she was falling way behind HaYi,Jimin & Ah Yeon. Hopefully YG has some sort of a "plan" for her.
all of yg seemed to love seunghoon lol and even in the looks department he isnt that great tbh. he has some good skills but idt he'll ever be a good singer, at least yg can train his other talents and emphasize those more but i was really hoping he'd get more vocal talent in his company than trainees that have skills in other areas. oh well we wont see these trainees in a long while probably so we'll have to wait and see what yg has in store i guess.
He is not just a pretty face. His talent in rapping or singing isn't good right now but he writes lyrics and choreographs. He has even choreographed for GD before in his Heartbreaker era. The companies couldn't really train them that much in the show and I'm sure that they will improve him.
Plus it's not really surprising. Everyone at YG loved Seunghoon. YG, Se7en, PSY, and GD, all have stated their love for him during the competition.
yeah but apart from that and being a good dancer, he cant sing. u dont just get the talent to sing by training, sure he can get better at it but he is still not a guy i would put in a vocalist group cause he's not talented enough. yg can make use of him other ways like how they do with taeyang who is an ok singer but a great dancer however, i was more interested in yg hiring good singers than trainees that are more talented in other areas.
Well, Hayi and Lee Michelle were unexpected to be honest. I loooove Lee Hayi. Was hoping that JYP would sign her in but I guess it would be too greedy if JYP took the first place, third AND second place contestants eh. I'm equally glad YG took her in though.
I really don't get the hype around Lee Seunghoon (he is not particularly good at anything-- even his dancing is meh) but I'm excited about the other two. I'm surprised YG took the chance with Lee Michelle and curious to see what will become of her.
