[Music Talk Talk] BIGBANG or WINNER? Who’s the next runner in YG?

YG Entertainment has announced another artist’s comeback for the 21st of December, along with the comebacks of PSY and boy group iKON, grabbing K-pop fans’ attention. While this is long-awaited good news for fans looking forward to YG artists’ comebacks, not knowing whom they will be seeing next on the K-pop scene is making fans anxious.

Earlier, YG Entertainment announced the release of iKON’s new single album on the coming 16th. And PSY also confirmed his comeback date as the 1st of December after a long wait. Many YG artists from BIGBANG, WINNER, AKMU, LEE HI, 2NE1 to KATIE KIM are talked of as the next runner.

Since May, BIGBANG, as a whole team, has been releasing two new songs every month with MADE series. Some say BIGBANG could be the next runner on the coming 21st because they had postponed their schedule just ahead of their regular album release. BIGBANG will attend the 2015 Melon Music Awards on the 7th and meet Korean fans in a long time.

[Oh!SEN] Very special loyalty between BIGBANG and YG

Who could ever imagine YG without BIGBANG and BIGBANG without YG? Korea’s top idol boy group BIGBANG renewed their contract with YG Entertainment on the 2 this month, leaving a special and good precedent in Korea’s music scene. The biggest reason why BIGBANG decided to go with the label with which they have been working together for the 10 years since their debut once again was the “trust” between the two parties.

Considering the time BIGBANG was trained at YG, BIGBANG has built their musical career with YG from even before their debut. In the process of little boy Ji-Yong turning himself into world-famous musician G-DRAGON, YG spared no support. Thanks to such solid support from YG, BIGBANG could concentrate only on their music and grow into an artist recognized on the global stage.

[NEWS] BIGBANG never wanted to leave YG

YG Entertainment’s head producer YANG HYUN SUK and BIGBANG have now gone beyond a relationship as the head of a label and its artist. Now, the two will draw a bigger picture for future as partners.

As YG announced the renewal of contract between YG and BIGBANG on November 2, people are paying keen attention to how YG could achieve it without any disagreements. The reason was just simple: the decision was made based on the loyalty and trust between the two. Working with BIGBANG for nine years since the team’s debut, YANG has turned himself from a “strict teacher” into “reliable older brother”.

Such a deep bond between the two was naturally unveiled from BIGBANG’s remarks in KBS 2TV’s “Happy Together Show” aired in May this year.

[NEWS] YG believed BIGBANG to the very last moment

YG Entertainment’s head producer YANG HYUN SUK has had firm trust in BIGBANG members, to the extent that he said, “I want to work with BIGBANG for the next 20 years, too”.

That shows how BIGBANG is important for YANG. BIGBANG has played the biggest role in YG’s growth into the biggest music label in Korea. It was also BIGBANG who brought the reputation as the best producer in the country to YANG. On the other hand, it was YANG HYUN SUK who made today’s BIGBANG possible. If BIGBANG did not meet YANG and grow with YANG’s support, the current success of BIGBANG would not have been possible.

However, YANG and BIGBANG are not satisfied yet. They still have a lot more to achieve. As there has been such strong trust and confidence between the two, YANG has been positive about the renewal of BIGBANG’s contract with YG.

[BIGBANG·YG contract renewal ②] BIGBANG-YG, a good example of desirable relationship between artist and label

BIGBANG and their label YG Entertainment have been always together like the right and left hands, for the past 10 years. After taking the top place in Korea’s music scene together, they have now decided to take on another journey to reach higher goals together.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the year 2015 was the year of BIGBANG. BIGBANG’s “MADE” series that began in May this year recorded the No.1 on monthly charts for four consecutive month. BIGBANG’s world tour that is currently underway has been fascinating 1.5 million people around the world, selling out all the tickets in the United States, Australia, and Mexico. As such, BIGBANG is an unsurpassable top idol group whom other groups can call “wanna-be”, not a “rival”. Usually, there are a lot of temptations for such top artists. Indeed, many of such top groups yielded to those temptations, to leave the throne. However, BIGBANG reconfirmed their unshakable bond and loyalty with YG.

[BIGBANG·YG contract renewal ①] YG & BIGBANG renewed contract, leaving an exceptional precedent in Korea’s music scene

YG Entertainment (“YG”) and group BIGBANG are leaving an “exceptional precedent” in Korea’s music scene.

On November 2 in the morning, YG officially announced that BIGBANG renewed their contract with YG. The announcement cleared many different “speculations and perspectives” about BIGBANG’s position. BIGBANG’s decision to stay with YG bears special meaning in diverse senses.

◈ Loyalty and partnership above it

Since their debut with single album “Bigbang” released in 2006, BIGBANG renewed their contract with YG in 2011 and has maintained their partnership with YG for nine years. Now that they renewed the contract once again, already-strong bond between YG and BIGBANG has been consolidated once again.

In Korea’s music scene, such a case of all the members of an idol group working with one label for such a long period of time is quite rare. That shows the fact that there is an obvious synergy effect between the two, which goes beyond favorable feelings toward each other, including loyalty and friendship.

YG’s head YANG HYUN SUK has always said, “BIGBANG has built YG. I don’t’ think YG has built BIGBANG. Such remark of YANG shows how much YG recognizes the “present value” of BIGBANG, a K-pop singer who has enormous influence in the world’s music scene. There actually have been a lot of cases where a producer and musician created by him decided to go separate ways eventually, because the producer was not quick to catch up with the new style and mindset of the young artist who grows and changes fast.
