Lee Hi’s album release delayed 1 week

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Lee Hi has delayed the release of her first solo album.

Originally, her album and its title song “Rose” was to be released on March 21st, but sadly it will be delayed a week to the 28th. YG Entertainment explained, “We’ve decided that we need more time to work on the music video for ‘Rose’, so we’re going to put in more effort to the product.”

“Rose” is made by none other than Teddy, so in this song, Lee Hi will be going for YG Entertainment’s trademark sound instead of her usual retro soul. Instead of the cute girl we saw in “It’s Over“, Lee Hi turned over into a new image for “Rose”.

It’s sad that her album is delayed, but at least we have “It’s Over” to keep us company until “Rose” comes out!

You know, at this point, YG comes off as an INCREDIBLY unprofessional company. Delays happen and sometimes it's for the betterment of an artist's schedule, but at this point, they're just being ridiculous. You set release dates and you stick to them. This isn't some essay assignment with a rolling deadline, you're putting out an artist and releasing albums. If you have a release date, you prep properly before it instead of leaving shit like filming an MV for a week before and then saying, "Oh whoops, this is taking longer than expected, JK!!!! Delayed!!!"

the thing is everyone expects it now, i don't think it really does them much harm

People have been saying this for years and he clearly does not give a shit how unprofessional he looks because at the end of the day, his artists still sell well enough to "justify" his excuses of delaying because of quality control. But we all know that's a load of crap because it happens far too often and the bottom line is, he's full of hot air and continuously waits until the last minute to try and get shit done. I don't understand what's so hard about at the very least, being punctual and not jerking your fans around. If even smaller companies can uphold deadlines, there's no reason he should be missing them time and time and time again, but again, he simply doesn't care.

Someone pointed out to me that... he wants to do everything himself, and... he's busy judging kpop star so he doesn't have a lot of time. orz orz orz

NOT THAT THIS EXCUSES HIM OR ANYTHING.

Whenever they release a statement saying they want to work on xxx some more, I always just assume it means they either haven't started working on it at all yet, or it's nowhere near actually being finished. They sound so full of shit every time they release one of these.

A big issue with YG is that he relies on the fans' loyalty. We may complain and get angry that such and such is delayed but at the end of the day, YG stans are still gonna buy whatever is going to be released. He is completely aware of that. Until, profits are negatively affected, this is how it's gonna be I'm afraid. He doesn't care about the negative publicity or being known as a troll because he's still going to make bank. I definitely agree that it's time they should be on time with shit, but YG is like 'fuck rules I do want I want' and the fans eat it up every time.

I think it's gotten a bit worse since that censorship/MV review board was set up last year.

tbh, I hate that most of this is us fans' fault. No matter how much we kick and scream about how long and unprofessional and absolute rubbish YG is at managing their artists, we still go and buy their shit. I sometimes wonder if it would make a difference if fans boycotted YG stuff until YG got its shit together, because honestly, something needs to fucking change.

This company is supposed to do the second best company in the Korean music industry for fuck's sake. It's about time they acted like it >>

because a week would make a difference, yeah, right, come up with some better excuse yg.
this is only because it's over didn't make much of an impact and there's gonna be a shit ton of new songs coming up this week.

well thanks to the delay GD's new single is never getting released since yg would never want any attention diverted away from the new princess. ughhhhhhhhhhh
