'Section TV' gossips about Yang Hyun Suk's awareness about the state of YG

Article: "Yang Hyun Suk is well aware of YG's crisis... talks about SM Lee Soo Man in private conversations"

Journalists: "Yang Hyun Suk-ssi can be described as a #2 who wants to become #1. His goal is SM. He supposedly talks a lot about Lee Soo Man in his private conversations. Big Bang takes up over 50% of YG's concert income. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that YG is basically a Big Bang agency. YG's rumors of crisis comes from their high dependence on the group. They know about their crisis very well because they're trying to change the avenues they get their income from by managing actors like Lee Jong Suk, Kang Dong Won, Kim Hee Ae, and Cha Seung Won. You can see it as their way of expanding to make up for Big Bang's absence."

1. [+1,025, -44] I like that YG has a lot of talented artists but their biggest problem is that they're a mess when it comes to managing them

2. [+889, -54] What's his reason for staying silent on his artists doing drugs then?

3. [+590, -108] Sulli vs TOP, who wins?

4. [+58, -2] SM and YG have completely different images, and YG can't beat out SM when it comes to business either. SM is in a position where they can fill any group's absence with another group but Big Bang is such a wall in YG that they don't have another group yet that can fill their absence. Yang Hyun Suk really needs to play his next years out smart. It's not too late now to start giving attention to his other groups and pull their status up more.

5. [+52, -3] I remember another journalist saying that Yang Hyun Suk feels totally threatened by SM, I guess it's true ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+43, -1] YG can't even push their talented image anymore... most of the mid-tier agencies have tons of talent nowadays that there's barely any difference

7. [+42, -2] YG's system is bad because they don't train their actors from start to fame but purchase super brand name actors for a high price. There's barely any profit there since those actors are at a position now where they can negotiate for a bigger chunk of the pay. Big Bang has also caused so many scandals on top of army issues and one even getting married now;;; the other remaining artists are nothing worth looking forward to. It's obvious that YG recognizes that and is trying to dig deeper into the acting industry ㅋ

8. [+35, -0] His image is shattered now with all those drug scandals, I doubt anything he does can recover from that. Can they even be considered a part of the Big 3 soon?

9. [+33, -8] YG only has Big Bang but SM has and has had HOT, SES, Shinhwa, FTTS, BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, EXO, and more

10. [+27, -2] Should've promoted 2NE1 more when they had the chance. Wasted all that media play on them only to end up relying on Black Pink now, a group that can't even bring in half the buzz that 'Fire' and 'I Don't Care' did ㅋㅋ

11. [+22, -6] It's obvious YG's trying to get Black Pink into the Japanese market since that's where the money is but they're not getting much of a reaction. The Japanese are pickier than you think. Twice is only doing as well as they are because they have three Japanese members and the Japanese consider that group as their own. Black Pink would be doing a lot better if they had one or two Japanese members too.

12. [+19, -0] It boils down to Yang Hyun Suk putting all his eggs in one basket with Big Bang and not managing his other groups better; Winner and Akdong Musician are fully charming kids but their hiatuses are so long that it causes their fandoms to gather and disperse. Big Bang is as big as they'll ever be so it doesn't matter how long their hiatuses are but YG can't expect other fandoms to be the same and wait under years of hiatuses.
