1. [+665, -14] I think this is for the best. They barely put out any albums in YG and Tablo has his own label now so they can do all the music they want there.

2. [+625, -15] All of the talented ones are leaving YG one by one, like Big Mama and now Epik High. Everyone without character issues or scandals are gone and only the problematic ones are left ㅎ Lee Hi and AkMu should escape fast too.

3. [+505, -30] Throwing out anyone who isn't making them money

4. [+22, -2] Congratulations on the escape!

5. [+22, -1] YG has always had a tradition of using you up and throwing you out

6. [+21, -2] Maybe now they can finally release an album ㅎㅎ hurry up please

7. [+19, -2] YG has barely anyone who renews their contracts. Seems like they don't renew unless you're Big Bang or you've caused a scandal before

8. [+17, -0] I guess YG's only keeping the problematic ones ㅋㅋ

9. [+13, -2] Even Epik High's being thrown out... ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+10, -1] YG needs to start training some R&B singers like Wheesung, Big Mama, and Gummy... they only have Lee Hi right now ㅠㅠ

1. [+1,203, -22] Good on them for leaving

2. [+424, -78] Best thing they could've done a thousand times over. Stay any longer and you'll end up thugs like them...

3. [+315, -13] I'm glad ㅎ especially as a longtime Epik High fan

4. [+253, -17] I think everyone's going to leave once their contracts expire... I wish my bias would hurry and leave soon so they can pursue more music

5. [+229, -11] There are restrictions on promoting under YG. I'm glad they left. Looking forward to a great album now!

6. [+93, -4] Clap clap clap!!! It's going to be amusing to watch what happens to YG once Big Bang discharges and doesn't renew. A management agency should be catering to the musical needs of their artists but instead YG runs according to what Emperor Yang Hyun Suk wants so who would want to stay?

7. [+81, -3] I feel like Epik High had better songs before they joined YG

8. [+61, -3] I feel like Yang Hyun Suk is overly hard on his artists. They'll be perfectly prepared for a comeback but he'll whip them back saying they're not ready yet and demand more perfection. Promoting is all about gaining experience and learning how to make up for what isn't perfect... sigh... please let us see Lee Hi.
