mmm YG will get worse before it gets better, really hope management can change their for the sake of people working there, families work there and children rely on their mom and dads for everything..I really hope things can change for the better and no more scandals.....I don't care about Pimpri and Yang Hyuk Suk though..
If you're a competent professional finding work elsewhere in your field isn't that difficult. If YG closes down, other companies will be here to snatch their part of the business, and will have to hire someone to take care of it. So basically will end up hiring former YG employees who already have the knowledge.

the fact that they can openly discuss the issue, i think they're gonna stay


Pledis already gives them creative freedom, and since they're the big earners when it's time to renew it will be on their own terms, so it's either they all stay, or decide to create their own company so they can stay together, ala Shinwha/Highlight (I can't see them disbanding honestly, their collective brand is more powerful than their individual popularity, and they work together very well).
Bumzu renewed, Nu'est renewed, the few After School girls that had a solo career renewed. So I'm guessing that, at least when it comes to profit split, Pledis has good contracts, but you basically have to be able to sell yourself out there because they're not going to put a tremendous effort in finding you work. Of course the company itself has ties elsewhere in the entertainment industry, so they're not exactly useless to their artists, but they seem to be more reactive than active. But now that SVT is a bona fide top group, they don't need the agency's name to open doors anymore.

A.c.e.'s Jun and Byeongkwan. Aside from the gay agenda, they have really cool choreos and good music, it's worth checking them out.
Also would like to mention once more their bold fashion statements, Byeongkwan's crop tops in the last comeback in particular.

At this point it won't benefit the boys nor the companies to keep X1 going...
X1 can live off its fandom, and having the group ostracized will only make fans even more determined to support them so they can be the cash cows CJ wants them to be, even without any CFs or variety outside of CJ-owned channels.
So for the boys' companies, it's basically an image VS profit dilemma. They'll try to pull their boys out if they value their image more than the potential money. Not sure if the current contracts would allow that though, and it would damage their relationship with CJ (still a huge media conglomerate) if they have to take them to court to dissolve the contract. So in the end it's going to be CJ's call, and CJ doesn't have to care about image.

It was BI's decision to do whats illegal as worker in industry where not smiling enough can get you kicked out of the group. It's BI's fault BI got kicked out and is gettieng sued. And it is not unfair.
It's unfair when you compare his treatment with T.O.P.'s, who did the exact same thing as him, was found guilty of it by court, but didn't have his contract nullified for it.

A real YG staffer wrote that? lol
Does he want to get fired or what
YGE has been bleeding employees for several years now, with a very high turnover rate, so firing someone for pointing out the problems within the company would be counter productive.
He may be a contractant though and not care about being hired again by them, since the company is about to shrink down drastically or even close down, depending on what they manage to salvage after paying their dues to LVMH next month.

Okay I'm confused. Didn't B.I. voluntarily step down? Like he was so ashamed of his actions affecting his group that he left? Sad that he felt he was under so much pressure to live up to his senior's popularity that he felt the need to resort to that.
Officially he's the one who decided to leave the group, but with how quickly YG kicked him out afterwards, and the other members' attitude during their Japanese concerts right after, it's very likely that he was forced to post that statement on social media.

'More Than Forever' is Nine Percents farewell album and made up of 9 solo songs, one by each member
Kinda sad they don't even have a single song together on this. Having to record separately because of different schedules isn't even an excuse, there are plenty of people who manage to make collab songs while living on opposite sides of the planet.
NPC were only vaguely a group up until their 'debut' EP, after that iQiYi just seemed to renounce to promote them as an entity.

Is the end for them?
Well they had a short contract, and iQiYi didn't make much of it. Heck it's super obvious that all of the boys were shot separately for this poster and frankly it hurts a bit to know they barely did anything together.
I also would like to have a word with the stylist, specifically about Kun's clothes. Who okayed this ? It's downright ugly.

Didnt he admitted he did some illegal shit? Tbh no matter what it is, its still illegal (even if its "just weed" which is still illegal in most of the world). There were kids forced out of their groups just for dating or getting married. And with the current situation about YG and illegal stuff and drugs, they couldnt logically do anything else with him. He got caught in wrong time which isnt exactly his companys fault. I agree that YG was treating IKON (and not only them) like shit but did you really expected their PR to go arougnd with "It was just weed
" in current situation in the company?
But the biggest scandal was on YG's part - BI isn't the one who bribed the police to have his illegal activities covered up. By throwing him under the bus YG tried to distract everyone from their own wrongdoings, which were MUCH WORSE than purchasing drugs in the first place. And sadly it seems to work, people are focusing on the fact that BI is facing a trial for purchasing drugs, not on the fact that the South Korean police is corrupt af.

i don't think is delusional, but i don't think is necessarily a romantic thing, they might just be bitter because of feeling left out by their friends or something. idk
Also of note Jisung has (had ?) no friends his age outside of the group, and it was the main reason he cited for joining Dancing High : he wanted to meet people his age that he could become friends with. So yeah it's most probably just feeling left out by someone he's very close to, without it being sexual.

This post feels like what SM stans post .... or used to
Prioritizing long term growth and fandom over chart success is literally JYPE 2.0 strategy, so really not something I'm saying to drag anyone ?

fr, completely forgot that they even dated. only relevant ones are hyuna and edawn, all the drama that they caused...
Hyuna & Hyojong are still relevant because they're the ones who decided to make their relationship public, rather than being outed by a tabloid like the other cases, and have been very public about it since. They do fashion photoshoots together, they're signed to the same agency, and they're all over each other's instagram.

When has he has ever put blame on any of the artist songs he did that may chart bad?
JYP doesn't really care about digital charts anyway, his strategy is to build stable fandoms because that's how he makes the most money in the long term. Twice still sells more albums than any other girl group and he'll only try to change his strategy if these start tanking. Heck, Stray Kids still don't chart but with their sales going up steadily with each comeback he's not even trying to push for public friendly songs (I mean I really like Side Effects but trance isn't exactly the most trendy type of sound ATM).

Nobody actually has talked about Jihyo and Daniel since about a week after it was revealed.

That the SK government is letting TS get away with this shit is what baffles me.
The problem is more general than TS. South Korean labor laws aren't protective enough of workers' rights and that's how you end up with abusive contracts the artists can't get out of, and companies like TS doing the shit they do without any legal consequences.

I want to talk about Dongpyo from X1, but he's still a kid and we all know what happened last time...
Well Dongpyo is Daewhi 2.0, I've said it from the day his PR video dropped and everything since has reinforced that impression.
He's still young though, just turned 17, so probably not so sure of anything himself.
Can we talk about Yohan's gay panicking though ?

1:9 is so severe
I thought korea has law for idol contract after dbsk/jyj lawsuit
Frankly the only thing the lawsuit set in stone was that hard 7 year limit, and it forced agencies to always split profit with the artist (otherwise it would be slave work), but there's no minimum so agencies get away with unfair splits like this one.
TS has a legal team that makes sure the contracts themselves can't be attacked in court ; that's why B.A.P. ended up going back to work after their dispute, and just endured until their contracts ended.

Wish the final group won't be permanent like the other Produce groups.
Reminds me too much of Boys24 ... and not in a good way.
Honestly the big problem of Boys24/In2it is that they're under MMO, which is a very shitty agency even by Korean standards.
Fromis_9 is also a permanent group from one of Mnet's survival shows and they're pretty well managed because they're under a decent agency (Off The Record).So once the show is over it will just depend on the agency they're under. I dunno the reputation of their future agency but being as bas as MMO is... quite difficult.

nako does not have the vocal chops to pull off ITNW. not even close. Yunjin, and prob even Chaewon, knew that. she shouldn't have been blamed for taking what was rightfully her's in the first place.

Honestly if it had been Chaewon or one of the vocal trainers who had said it, then things would have gone a lot better for Yunjin. I'm pretty sure that the trainers would have suggested it if she hadn't forced the others' hand, and Nako would have given it away even more gracefully.

It happened last year too, so it’s basically the same every year not only 2017
Frankly the initial grading in S2 was much better. BoA was very strict about giving As and the seven that got one kept it at re-eval.

Didn't one of them sing Roy Kim's song? Not a good idea Lol
Wasn't this filmed before Roy Kim's name was mentioned in the Burning Sun fiasco though ?

The hell!! Suhwan is still 56 in ranking!!!
Koreans better to vote for him. We can't fail a such talented guy!! Good singer, dancer, leader of A class. Don't sleep on him just because he isn't tall!!
With the amount of screentime he got this episode he's guaranteed to rise a lot next week.

You know which male idol isn’t homophobic?

Yeah when they went to KCon NY, the second day they didn't have a concert and spent their day filming for their vlive variety in the city. It was pride day, they watched for a while and seemed interested, greeted the few fans that recognized them, then went of filming. The variety show didn't include that part of their day, but there were a few photos on twitter to prove it.
