"YG never used to care about looks before, so with 'Mix 9', I hope to pick people who are handsome and pretty." When asked if he's going to judge character, "It's something that's hard to judge in a short amount of time. I know JYP considers it the most important factor but YG gets a lot of hate because it's not something we prioritize first. People ask if that's the reason why YG singers have so many problems (laughter)."

1. [+316, -16] You think that's something to laugh about?????????????

2. [+295, -19] He's really trying to laugh that off

3. [+288, -18] This isn't something you can laugh off, you really should consider setting up character education for your artists. Why do you think your company's nickname is Pharmacy (YG = yak-guk = pharmacy)?

4. [+27, -8] But JYP's singers have definitely shown that they have great character. I remember Park Jin Young used to tell his trainees 'become a person who doesn't have to worry about being careful to not cause problems'

5. [+18, -0] Crazy... he really thinks it's something to laugh about

6. [+16, -1] With 2NE1 disbanded over their drug scandal, I really do wonder how Big Bang is still surviving tsk tsk

7. [+16, -0] As the leader, you do realize that you're mostly responsible for that image? Please educate your artists...

8. [+11, -1] I still don't get why investigations haven't been launched into YG yet.. I bet you they're hiding a ton of stuff

9. [+9, -0] For Yang Hyun Suk to mention it, then it must mean that Park Jin Young really does prioritize character above everything else. Of course compared to talent, talent is more important, but if you want a long lasting career, character is more important.

10. [+8, -0] YG has all the scandals that other companies only have to deal with once in a lifetime..;;; They're like a collection of scandals
