1. [+2,975, -118] I don't think there's another agency other than YG that fits well with Big Bang
2. [+2,341, -115] They'll definitely renew with YG...
3. [+2,165, -92] They're a good fit with YG, no need for them to go to another agency
4. [+1,758, -79] I know they're going to renew for sure ㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+1,728, -83] Big Bang = YG, no other company fits them
6. [+231, -21] I hope they'll enlist at the same time and the five of them can discharge together and release another album together
7. [+176, -11] As many scandals as they've had, I think YG's the only company that can handle them. Honestly, Big Bang is YG and YG is Big Bang.
8. [+172, -18] After seeing a huge chunk of Super Junior enlist this year, I've noticed that a lot of the celebrities similar or older in age to Big Bang have served already. Big Bang honestly needs to enlist starting next year. I know they have a lot to lose but it's time to go.

1. [+156, -21] If YG doesn't have Big Bang, aren't they pretty much a house in mourning? 2NE1 is impossible to recover, Winner's image is ruined because of that Nam Tae Hyun kid, iKON is off to a failure of a start despite all the money invested in them... they have nothing but Big Bang to rely on
2. [+151, -20] YG shields them no matter what scandals they get themselves into, of course Big Bang should be loyal to them
3. [+124, -11] I feel like if Big Bang ever tries to leave YG for another company, YG will just explode all of the scandals they've kept covered for them..
4. [+13, -0] Is there even an agency that can handle Big Bang? ㅋ Even if they were to start their own labels, GD can't carry enough songs on his own without Teddy
5. [+13, -4] YG's in the dumps if they lose Big Bang, they'll latch on to them for sure
6. [+11, -0] YG's staying afloat because of Big Bang, I'm sure they'll cater to whatever Big Bang wants in their contracts ㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+9, -1] If Big Bang even so much as shows a sign of wanting to leave, YG's CEO will definitely start media playing about all of their drug and sex scandals ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ No way would Big Bang leave now after all the cover ups YG has done for them.
8. [+9, -0] If Big Bang leaves, they run the risk of all their past scandals coming back to light. From YG's perspective, they'll lose 80% of their income... they have no choice but to stick together.

1. [+858, -58] I bet Yang CEO is so nervous right now
2. [+783, -134] Honestly, a group of Big Bang's status could probably go the Shinhwa route and promote that way
3. [+785, -180] Big Bang, ask for more pay if you are going to renew your contracts. Personally, I'd much rather Big Bang not renew their contracts because YG's plans for them are all about overworking them overseas without any domestic promos. I'd rather they set up their own agency and get a separate agency for overseas promos. GD gets personal invites from places like Chanel, what does he have to lose to need YG anymore. He's become bigger than that.
4. [+662, -69] I honestly think GD could set up his own one man agency
5. [+505, -43] I wonder if they're still dividing who gets how much
6. [+174, -23] A one man agency sounds good and all but over 50% of Big Bang's music so far has been produced by YG producers like Teddy, Kush and Choice. They have to stay in YG. Look at Wheesung... he left and may be making more money but he sang about love being delicious before quietly disappearing into the army.
7. [+143, -22] GD and Big Bang are certainly high status artists but it's better for them to just take the higher pay and stay with YG. I've rarely seen anyone who left YG do better outside.
8. [+122, -20] I bet Yang Hyun Suk's begging GD like "Jiyong-ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ please renew, we're family, aren't we!!!!!"

1. [+82, -7] A group of Big Bang's status is too big for any other agency to handle. They'd be alright to leave and start their own company though.
2. [+86, -23] Big Bang probably told YG to stop media playing about the contracts ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+71, -16] Big Bang > YG
4. [+70, -24] No reason in particular for Big Bang to leave YG, especially Taeyang and GD
5. [+41, -4] What's with the media play ㅋㅋㅋ looks like renewal negotiations aren't going well ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
