Article: Akdong Musician compares SM, YG, and JYP "Our standard for choosing..."

Source: TV Daily via Nate

SM: Clean, modern style
YG: Cool artists and building
JYP: Family, mentoring, welcoming

1. [+698, -97] Whether you're looking for a full time job or a part-time job, never choose the one that's like a family

2. [+317, -27] There are a lot of people that are hoping for them to join a company other than the top three, but I'm personally against that. They're so young and need the power of marketing and promotions as well as the support for everything outside the realm of music so they can focus their entire attention on their music alone. If they either set up their own company or go to a smaller one, they won't be able to focus on their music as much as they'd hope.

3. [+234, -5] Just let them choose on their own. You all sound like you won the competition, not them.

4. [+73, -25] Don't go to YG... YG's style is kicking you to the curb once there's nothing to milk out of you. Look at 2NE1 as an example. They promoted them nonstop saying they're talented and all that but once they grabbed onto Lee Hi, 2NE1 is being treated like leftover cold rice. The choice is up to them but I don't think YG is a smart choice.

5. [+55, -9] If they choose JYP, are we going to hear the "JYP~" whisper in front of their songs?!

6. [+53, -18] I hate JYP but I don't like SM any better... and the majority wants them to go to YG but didn't you see the broadcast and how YG messed up 'Ugly'? I don't think they match YG at all. Chanhyuk-goon seems to favor JYP the most.. let's not criticize them whatever they choose.

7. [+51, -25] If they go to YG, they'll become tryhards dressed in weird clothes. If they go to SM, they'll become idols. If they go to JYP, they'll be worked to death alongside Suzy. Just join a mid-level agency that can focus on them.

8. [+34, -10] YG fans always argue that YG is like a family... and now that Akdong said JYP is like a family, everyone's saying don't join a company that's family-like... Then that rules out YG and JYP... leaving only SM left!!??
