lol good luck ~

[olyoo]

sigh…so basically we will barely get to see them promote and stuff

 

and nice yg! what a genius! kick out the only member that is fluent in chinese (hongseok) and then say that you're going to debut in china. Wow

[removed929393303]

Do they have a Chinese member because that is what would help them in China. 

[renmyster]

Didn't they already say something like this?

 

Anyway I'm interested in this new artist system they're talking about.

[SlayingSeohyun]

They doubtless will not achieve much success in China, forever following sm.

e

 

 

I mean how lovely & stuff

No they're all Korean. I don't think any of them speak Mandarin either.

[Athena]

Hongseok might have helped in China...

[Matro]

YG and early

[Universe]

inb4 flop in Japan and China. Don't even know why they try.

[Byakugan]

Are they giving better promotions to IKON and Winner???

[Shownu]

Um what about Winner tbh

[Halla.]

Wouldn't it be better to first debut in Korea and secure a fanbase there and then debut in other countries. And if they promote in three different countries at the same time their schedule will be crazy and the boys will be super tired.

..if any of this even happens..you can never be sure with YG.

^^^^^^^^^^

[Ogisoo]

then why did you choose Chanwoo..? ugh

[Simmelina1]

How I wish Hongseok had a been a part of ikon for their chinese debut.

[Mim]

I wish he would just promote WINNER better and the debut the Girl Group already 

[Stay Away]

That's kind of crazy. YG is trying to reach to a wide audience at the same time on three different music markets with a single group. Their schedule is going to be hella crazy. Good luck with that!

[sinnfb]

Is anyone really surprised by this? YG is desperate to make up for the money he will lose once Big Bang starts enlisting so it's obvious he would send both Ikon and Winner to Japan and/or China so he has a shot at keeping both markets

 

Do they have a Chinese member because that is what would help them in China. 

 

I read something about B.I being super popular there so while it's definitely not as good as having a chinese member in the group maybe they will be more successful than we think

[Qri]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Thay]

They probably won't be able to promote much... So it will only mean releasing material in all 3 languages? I'm not sure if that will work. 

 

Also, poor WINNER... I feel YG will focus most of their energies in iKon next year... 

[Alexander Wang]

What about the new gg though....

YG, kiss my ass tbh

[MelodyMeritamon]

so we're keeping Chanwoo then?
