weird old akp article about how Yang Hyun Suk met his wife

[blackocean]

Ech.  remember this weird interview Yang Hyun Suk did a few years ago about how he met his wife? He's such a creep.  Here's one instance where he mismanaged a group.  I'm curious about his reasons behind some of the others in his company.  

 

 

 

 

 

YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk opened up about his relationship with wife,Lee Eun Joo.

 

On the May 21st episode of SBS's 'Healing Camp', Yang Hyuk Suk talked about his debut with Seo Taiji & Boys, the Big Bang scandals, the story behind the production of 2NE1's hit song "I Am The Best", and his secret 9-year relationship with his wife, Lee Eun Joo.

 

"My wife Lee Eun Joo is the sister of former Sechs Kies member Lee Jae Jin," he said. "I saw her on TV when she was in high school, and I liked her."

 

"A few years later in 1997, I met her again and I recruited her as a trainee. She promoted with a group called Swi.T, but it was the only group from YG that wasn't successful," he explained.

 

"They would've done really well if I had invested more into that group," he said. "But I was afraid that she would catch on, and so I purposely paid less attention to that group," Yang Hyun Suk added, admitting he had a secret crush on her for 3 years.  WTF??!!!!   

 

"My heart and my mind were in battle with one another," he said. "I didn't know what to do as the CEO of the company, and also as a man. I don't usually get nervous, but it was so hard to ask her to be with me. I was afraid she would not think of me as a man."

 

He continued, "I eventually worked up the courage to call her and tell her that I liked her. Shocked, she responded with, "Excuse me?" We still talk about it to this day, but she said she thought I was joking. I remained on the phone with her for two hours, convincing her that I was really being genuine. After that, we very naturally began dating. No one knew that we were dating. For 9 years, I could never once take her to a coffee shop or to the movie theater. I feel really bad for that, so I'm trying the best I can to be good to her now."

 

When asked why he never held an official wedding ceremony, he admitted that they had married after a secret 9-year relationship because Lee Eun Joo became pregnant.

 

"Before, I chose my work over my wife, but once she became pregnant, I chose her," he said.

 

"I did not hold a wedding because I didn't want to stand before other people," he continued. He then revealed a rather interesting promise he made with Seo Taiji.

 

 

"Seo Taiji and I promised that we wouldn't hold weddings. Just the thought of wearing a tuxedo and standing before other people is oddly really embarrassing," he bashfully confessed.

Yea I remember reading this way back when.

Still think its horrible that he let the group fail just so that he could be with her. Could've chosen to not put her in the group at all.

[sickwithsin]

Won't wear a tuxedo in front of people, no qualms about falling in love with a teenager or purposely mismanaging a music group. What a strange man.

 

 

 

It's amazing that YGE has survived as a company. Especially with this man as CEO.

[blackocean]

[HoaYo]

And this is why I never liked Yang Hyun Suk. You fail the girl's dreams and didn't hold a wedding because it was embarrassing?! Tf

[sickwithsin]

strange is a nice way of putting it

 

Oops. Sorry I edited after you posted. I'm having trouble gathering my thought about this, it's just so ... mind-boggling. But yeah. Yang Hyun Suk is a strange little man.

"They would've done really well if I had invested more into that group," he said. "But I was afraid that she would catch on, and so I purposely paid less attention to that group,"

So which Winner member is Yg in love with? 🤔

[nedenben]

Ugh.. I remember reading this. I found it creepy, still do.

WHAT.

[biaswrckers]

i guess we can agree he is a weird man 

[adda]

after reading this, I wonder how many CEOs are dating or having an affair with their artists. 

 

he deliberately  let her group flop  ...lol

He was afraid she will become successful and don't look at him anymore?

let her group flop so that she becomes more dependent on him?

what about the others members of the group? they've payed the consequences of his crush and didn't leave the nugudom because he didn't want his girlfriend become successful.

 

 

why he says such thing? even if is true... he better keep it for himself. 

and if he loves her so much, he could have offer her a wedding after 9 years of secret dating.

[DeeZee]

Kinda creepy. I think that's an abuse of power, makes me feel concerned for Black Pink.

[CrayCray]

[Nev Schulman]

I remember this.

If I was the other members I'd be pisssedd af

[Chae Bae]

So which Winner member is Yg in love with?

 LMAO

[Chae Bae]

I didn't expect him to have a wife actually   
He's the biggest WTF MAN in the industry. 

What kind of blackmailing yet he used to have her, I wonder? 

[fqmpedcqefjdk]

I remember this.. really shows how egotistical he can be, not that it's really surprising -_____- Frankly, I admire the groups and staff under him for putting up with him. I wouldn't be able to. Same goes with a bunch of other company CEOs.

 

Not that it's any of my  business, but it also really makes me wonder how his wife felt when she found out (there's no way she hasn't).

wtf that's so creepy

[zhili]

He is both creepy and completely unprofessional.

Imagine what it must have been like for the other girls in SwiT. to have their careers destroyed because of a lecherous and selfish man.
