[NEWS] YG, “THE BEST” ENTERTAINMENT SHARES IS MAKING ITS WAY


On the 8th of November, Woori Investment & Securities stated and ranked YG Entertainment as, “One of the highest growing companies that produces the greatest contents with their verified capabilities for producing.”

As YG Entertainment has artists such as Se7en, Big Bang, G-Dragon, 2NE1, etc., they have been able to continuously grow throughout, and with the recent addition of Tablo and Psy, they have also been able to expand their line-up tremendously.

Researcher Yoo Jinho explained that, “The are currently 3 top companies that are individually claiming their spots within the music industry through their own brands,” and that, “Consumers are in a situation where they are able to personally see how these top three companies’ media royalty are rising.”

He then continued on to say that, “Recently, not only has the K-POP craze only been circulating among Japan, China, and the rest of Asia, but the preference for Korean music has risen tremendously in Europe, as well as America.” He was also able to add that, “I am especially looking forward to YG Entertainment’s growth.”

In addition to the 2011 Japan earthquake and Big Bang’s incidents and cases, it can be forseen that they will be able to avoid the 2011 incidents and achieve more growth if they actively promote in Japan in 2012.

As YG Entertainment’s demand forecast has come to an end on the 8th, they will take action with their subcriptions on the 14th - 15th. The cost for the recruitment and advertisement for it is estimated to be around 22,100WON~28800WON (around $19~$25 USD), and the estimated date for the certification of commendation is the coming 23rd
