What I see is that you jump into conclusions without the whole info. You say YG gives shelf life, throws away their artists, etc.... Not really, that is why they even have a couple artists that are in the industry longer than most idols. And even older idols who stopped performing for their own reasons and work in the company in the background. You say YG controls the artists? Most of their artists are self produced. Most admit to simply be too perfectionist to select a song to release (they wait for the right ones instead of releasing anything that appears). While it is true YG is one of the companies with the strictest rules (tho after those scandals who can blame them), most times they don't bother to force those rules on their artists. About the survival shows, you seem to get the idea that it is done just to make an artist after another, and don't even try to see what good it does to the artist. With so many people wanting to debut, that kind of filter is always done (or the industry will be saturated, it almost happened in the past), but YG decided to do it on camera. This shows give exposure to the trainees, when they debut they already have a fan base which 9s good for them. If they fail to debut, a lot of times, it is not hard for a YG trainee to find another company, thanks to the exposure to the public that YG gave them. And this is just a few topics you mentioned. Also, seems that when everyone talks about YGE they forget to mention a lot of stuff. For example, did you know that YG is the company that pays the most percentage of revenue to their artists? While most kpop companies give to their artists between 40 to 50% (and lets not forget to mention the special case of SM who pays 5 to 10 %), YG pays around 70% to their artists. They also forget to mention that most, if not all artists who left YG is in good terms and speaks in favor of the company. It's funny when they do tho, because some people who love to hate YG get mad at those artists for defending YG. Even Psy left in good terms after his contract ended, and he is friends with everyone in YG (ironic that you even celebrated when the video said he left). Also, since, we are taking about artists, lets talk about all types, not just idols. Their dancers are quite famous, and YG created and academy where they can teach people to dance and sing, people who eventually can train there to audition to other companies, or even for them. They have quite popular actors as well, who speak quite well about the company, and models who seem to be quite well, 6 of them even released music as a group recently. But going back to their idols, most have creative freedom over their work. I say most, because Blackpink might be a bit more strict (but is the only one), but even them have been giving their input on what they are doing, even in making music, you can see on their album's credits (yes album, that thing you say they don't get) and they speak about what they do a lot of times. Most times it takes time for them to release (any artist of them) but that is also YG gives them the freedom to focus on whatever side projects their idols want. There are a few companies that to do that and keeping pumping music out they end up overworking their idols, YG gives them time and freedom for them to focus on their own projects outside the company. Honestly this comments is already too big and I doubt it will change anything, there were a few words you said that gave a bit the idea that you have some kind of biased view for some reason. So you can keep that opinion, you are free to do as you wish, but do it knowing that you are not completely correct, actually quite far from that.

most mature comment I Have ever seen. I don't like YG because they're giving less in bp's case BUT let us consider that they "may" not be as bad as people make them. All we see are the bad things, never for once, did we pause and think about it. "Personally", the restrictions and this "bad company" portrayal actually gave the Artist engagements(aside from being naturally talented of course). Why? because people love issues. If there is drama, people will never stop talking about it and people will have empathy. That's actually the greatest (at the same time worst) promotion to gather people.

I could go on and on about what I don’t like about the kpop industry, YG in this case, but they had some amazing artists. That’s all I’ll comment on to keep things civil. 😂

Oh boy, if u check out SM and JYP they are way worst than YGE. YGE actually allows their artists make or produce their own music. For example, AKMU, BOBBY of Ikon or G-Dragon of BigBang they do produce and make their song as a solo artist or as a group. All YGE artist (except BLACKPINK) has more freedom in making music. They are also promoted well. BLACKPINK is the only group they handle so tightly. Even though they are able to write their music they are not getting the credits they deserve. They don't get promoted well. They don't go to variety shows so often. They are not allowed to many things. Idk more abt SM and JYP but I do know that they treat ALL their artist way worst than YGE. If we are talking about money, SM and JYP took 60 or 70% of the artist earnings whilst to YGE it's 70-30. 70% for the artist and 30% for the company (someone just corrected me in the comments, tyyyy). I think that's the only greatness I have for YGE. JYP (the owner of JYP Entertainment) also produce their artist song (not all, but some I think) and I swear I'm done with that guy. He produce sucks.

@Nush yeah no bye. So your saying the reason why women don’t participate in Music compared to men is because their not capable and they have no interests? That’s completely a lie. Kpop companies and especially YG are misogynistic towards women and will always favour their male groups. Blackpink members have said before how they want more creative freedom, it’s their music they should decide the direction they take. 2ne1 for example CL only had like 6 credits during her whole career at YG. Now she produces everything. Akmu suhyun wrote many songs when her brother was in the military for her solo yet YG turned down everything. Whille mino and Bobby get to release the same song every month. Blackpink are literally YG biggest group ever and YG mistreats them in every way. No creative freedom and no comebacks. 25 songs in 5 years is not normal. IF teddy and YG are to lazy to makes songs let the girls do it or let them work with our producers.

YG has turned to mid sized company because of their sandals and management. Blackpink should be getting 3 comebacks a year. Their strategy of giving less is getting annoying and hurting their artists. If they want more money give bp their comebacks. Bp could be even bigger but YG doesn’t care and their management is useless. Look at HYBE they have capitalized on bts global popularity. Giving bts the creative freedom,multiple comebacks and content to talk to their fans instead of making them seem exclusive. That’s the marketing that YG needs. YG is only company to markets their artists like this and that’s why they are struggling the most

Actually it's an opportunity to have survival shows in Korea & YG once said they do it so that the trainees who have not made to debut in YG will still grab by other companies so give your best.. there's a thousand of trainees who wants to debut so it's better to show their talent cause they can't debut all of them thankfully YG's last survival show with 28 trainees almost debuted all in different companies so that means it's a success for them

29:45 THE ALBUM has been released last October 2020 😂 legit a day after this video was uploaded. All the songs charted #1-#8 globally.

the reason that some groups have a "shelf life" per say is because k-pop contracts usually last about 7 years. People call it the 7 year curse, most groups disband after 7 years because the members don't resign another contract. In some cases, artists do sign a new contract which means their group will keep going and sometimes they get more freedom with a renegotiated contract too.

I agree with most of what you say. But please try to stay open minded about Kpop and the Korean music industry in general. It's important to know about the practices and how Kpop works in general (the trainee system, the competitiveness, ...). No one should be delusional, there is a lot of fucked up stuff happening. But also judging a whole entertainment industry too fast is like judging Hollywood if you only saw a few RomComs, some uninspired action movies and only heard about Weinstein. It's not really fair. Kpop is still young and moving at an incredibly fast pace. Things that where common just 5-10 years ago are almost non existend or even illegal today. Thanks to some new laws passed after the scandals in 2019 to protect idols and the public being a lot more sensitive to mistreatment of idols/artists. It's really fascinating to watch how new groups and artists push away more and more of these old boundaries nowadays :)

This video/documentary doesn't do YG justice at all!! They almost talked about BLACKPINK and you are mad just because how YG tightly managed BLACKPINK. But they don't show how these artists (like Big Bang and AKMU) stayed and renewed their contract wth YG because of all the amount of support and freedom they have. Yes, they don't do comebacks often and that is because they let their artist to do their own music or atleast have a contribution on it and once they come out, music/albums are high quality and music videos are over the top! Also, YG artists are known to be the most expensive/luxurious artists not only because of their fashion and style but because they are the most well-paid idols among other companies. (try to compare the profit sharing from SM and JYP). As a YG stan, this video lack so much details and if you are mad about them just because you only heard about BLACKPINK well, I am an OG Blink too and I am ALSO upset with it but I know and I do understand that they are only preparing them to have a perfect and high quality comeback everytime so yeah whatever you guys will say, still MAD RESPECT FOR YG ARTISTS! P.S You should have reacted to this video right after you know how iconic and legendary BIG BANG and 2ne1 is, how talented and amazing WINNER and iKON is and how versatile and popular BLACKPINK and TREASURE is. Search and think before you hate and compare them to to other company and you are already taking them to YG level. You are obviously a new K-pop fan (if u really are) and don't know anything about it.

SUGA of BTS, in his most recent magazine interview, called out the mistreatment and mishandling of Kpop companies to their talents, he said: "The great thing about the label I'm with (Bighit) is they listen to the artists' opinions. I think both we and the label know to a certain degree what kinds of activities would be best commercially speaking. But the question is whether the body can endure it or not. If the fatigue builds up as you continuously do those promotional activities, it's hard to do them the way you did when you first debuted. In that case, I think the label ought to actively accommodate the artist's views about what they can and cannot do. An attitude that's just like, "oh, we made you kids, and as long as you just do what we tell you to it'll all work out, so just do it" -- I think that really doesn't make any sense. Of course, there could still be situations where the label has to be pushy like that, obviously. But I heard there have been times where a label will just say, "do it" without any explanation to the artist or "why are you talking so much?" I think that's the biggest issue and it's destroying the industry. If you just see the artist as a product, how can they do anything creative? I really think it's very contradictory to ask the people on stage to put on an enjoyable performance when they're experiencing neither fun nor enjoyment"

JYP the company who has long been accused of working their artists to the point of actual exhaustion and breakdown. This is like asking a Mac or Linux person what they think of Microsoft, or an iPhone user if they like Samsung. People told you what to watch yet you keep picking guides created with agendas made by extremely biased people. It almost begs the question do you want to learn or do you just want someone to tell you what you want to hear so you can dismiss this and be angry. We all told you how to find a more unbiased outlook and learn more about Blackpink, yet you are just somehow reacting to these 'guides' with huge agendas a guide about YG from a JYP stan great choice. JUST STOP seriously you want to hate kpop you want to throw it away that's the only explanation for these videos that were created for slander and you are just being part of the problem.

When it comes to staff and artists’ compensation, YG Entertainment is one of the best, the thing they s*ck at is artist promotions and giving comebacks. And holding back on their female group’s potentials.

To be honest companies like JYP (I can't stand him! 🤢) and SM Entertainment are even worse than YG from what I know. I'm glad that you mentioned that it's not just in kpop though. In contrast I just watched (BTS) Jin's latest vlive where he said Bang PD was like a father to them, called him on air to wish him a happy birthday and set up a "let's meet up for drinks soon". I may be ARMY but I really like Blackpink's music too and I seriously don't get YG's strategy behind the (lack of) promotion.

YG is Quality vs Quantity.

YG was actually one of the first who started on artists producing their own songs, with creative freedom and they still do (except for *coughs… BLACKPINK) especially during their early days then they were the biggest company in terms of western impact, with BIGBANG and 2NE1. They were then the “Rags to Riches” icon, then it all went downhill. Everything has their ups and downs. Their management and promotional tactics changed with their newer artists, and it has not been doing good. I’m just amazed at how BLACKPINK managed to survive with such management tho.

Life is a competition and its hard. That is why a lot of people LOVE KPOP. Because KPOP Is not just a music. It is the whole blood and sweat of the artist. Compared to other artists who just got viral for just one song. We love the story how they worked hard for it. Really really work hard and the idea that we were there for them from the start of their trainee days makes it great

YG artists stan

I also hope that you understand that YGE never rides on the fame of their artist. They're cultivating their artists for a long term career. YGA has a lot of freedom comapred to other artists. YGE has the most entegrity in terms of Music. You being bias with BP is the problem here.. You and fans wanted ao much outputs of BP. You see even though they're not releasing so much their value as an artists is very high. Most of YGA are remarkable in music industry. Domestically or internationally. Again YGe is for QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. And YGE doesn't only have BP.

Also you keep saying "This is the thing that's *wrong about Kpop" but that's cuz you keep looking and analysing these things from your own Western standards... The West doesn't get everything right, you gotta understand this. I see Western artists and the way so many of them are materialistic, flaunting riches or rapping about drugs and getting laid etc. + there's less experimentalism and sure that's cool for you guys but for us it's not something we align with - but you don't hear us criticising you guys right??!!!!

You are right; thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I have to start looking at this from a better angle.

Just a correction: YG doesn't control BP hairstyle, clothes, makeup, the girls have the freedom to choose these things, but of course they work with people in the company because they are under a management they have a hairdresser and stylist, That's their job! And for debuting groups, eehhh they need to create a group, and they don't just kick them out when they create another group, they need to keep the business going they won't survive with one group, these groups have the freedom to work on their music and create their own music personality, not just in the music industry, actually YG artists are the most diverse and creative out there, most of them are rich because they have their names signed with every of their works. And their outside activities are on them completely. BH did with BTS what YG did with Bigbang and does with the rest of the groups, BP and treasure are starting to follow their seniors footsteps by slowly being more into the production of their songs. Except that YG prefers to give them the time to work on their songs instead of packing songs after songs. Your video is biased from the start, it would be better if you went in without inner influence.

I looked at the comments section of this video on the day it was posted & strayed away from watching it then and there, but I finally watched it today to see your perspective. I understand your perspective & even agree (to an extent), but I still think you need more knowledge on the Kpop industry as a whole. Also note that the Kpop industry isn’t the only part of the Korean music industry, there are artists that aren’t Kpop idols in the industry, plenty in fact. Also, want to say that Kpop is more than just the music although music is and should be the centerfold. Kpop is the music, live performance, the music video, the storytelling, the fan connection, the albums etc. Every group is different from each other because they have their own story & trials and tribulations, and that’s what makes you want to stick w/ them for the long run (amongst the other things I mentioned). I think the thing that seems to make you most mad is that groups are steadily being produced & you the think the old groups are being thrown to the side. In some cases this is true, but overall a group debuts w/ a 7yr contract and they have the option to resign for some more years after that. Regardless of if they resign or not (some choose not to and pursue a solo career or acting etc.), news groups will continue to be formed for the upcoming generation, those groups would then be juniors to the earlier senior groups (age /respect ranking is apart of Korean culture). Hybe aka BigHit just debuted TXT for the 4th generation, theyre BTS’ juniors & they have multiple companies that they bought who do the same thing, it’s honestly the industry/culture, there does need to be some changes regarding asking your artists input (amongst other things) but I don’t think the ENTIRE system/culture is bad. Anyways I could go on forever lol, another good honest reaction, I thought I would be annoyed by the end of it (based on other Blinks reactions in this comment section) but I’m not because your were respectful. Please keep exploring Kpop and also dive deeper into some group stories/behind the scenes content and you’ll understand the attachment/affection fans have. 👋🏾

Just a little perspective you are approaching this as if the music is the only aspect that is digested in korean pop culture but music there grew from tv shows not radio so a lot more importance is placed on the superficial like looks concepts and performances... The artistic integrity is there but they (all of kpop) just value different things than you do please at least be aware.

For me there's no perfect company but I still choose YG cause the only flaws that I think fans complaining is a comeback & BP writing own songs...but in overall compared to other companies YG give their artists more time to shine on their own not only on group no one complained overworked to YG plus they the share is fair cause they paid more their artists than the company...they have more freedom in directing,composing, writing & producing their songs & MVs even their rookie group TREASURE did it...

It makes my brain hurt when I think about all the people who think their informed enough to make a judgement on a person or company by watching a few KZread videos.

Do you actually think you have the resources to rent out a music studio? Dance studio? film set? for free no you can't

Your comment on how the training (singing, dancing, etc.) slow things down is true in a sense. However, i think here comes the difference in perspective brought about by cultural differences. There is a high regard for hard work especially in Asian countries. Putting in the work may mean putting long hours to perfect their talent and craft (behind closed doors) in order to show/become the best version before showcasing it to the world. While western country values individuality and untapped talent/artistry. People also put in the work, but you do it out in the open.

hey i don't understand some of the weird hate comments you're getting on this video, cos like why are these ppl trying to protect YG? of all people?? specifically YG?? like i dont care much about the company itself, cos the main problem is YG

most likely due to the fact he was given a number of suggestions for videos that would give better insight into the group and kpop in genral but rather than all those requests with likes and comments agreeing. He is picking this obscure videos that are not recommend anywhere on his other videos making kpop, Blackpink, and YG just look bad while making BTS and HYBE (who he has a lot of Army on his channel) better. He keeps saying he wants to understand it and has an opened mind yet he ignores all of the requested content and magically finds a video like this a hate video made by a Twice/JYP stan.

P.S. forgot to say, all men have mandatory military enlistment in S. Korea. They have to serve before the age of 30 I believe 🤔, this also plays apart in the Kpop industry bc some members enlist before others, BTS will be faced w/ this soon. The older members will enlist and leave the younger members to either do solo work or continue on without the full 7 members or wait for them to finish enlistment.

YG = HOME OF LEGENDS PERIODT

also highly suggest epik high theyre not really a kpop group as they were big before joining yg and theyre amazing artists even if you were to stop reacting to other kpop groups (besides bts) epik high is such a great way to get into korean underground/indie scene theyre like in between mainstream and indie. i recommend these songs : 1) Rosario ft CL and zico 2) rain song 3) based on a true story 4) eternal sunshine

I am so glade your are doing this. So helpful that you wanted to dig deeper. I really appreciate you.

In fact we had album. Come the past year called " The Album " ahah. But yeah the way YG manage .. delayed... every fan hate this 🤣😅

considering YGs handling of 2NE1 (Black Pinks predecessor) im not surprised how he handle Black Pink. So much wasted talent... CL from 2NE1 is releasing her new single now in August (shes moved on to a new label). I think also if your "investigating" Kpop you should check out Lee SoMan the founder of SM entertainment another of the "Big 3" companies in Kpop he is the one that started off the whole idol training and made the system many of the other companies still use. Though id point out that i found watching a Motown records documentary even they back then had lessons in etiquette, dance, vocal, grooming with their artists. Also the reason the visual is important in Kpop is that it grew with the TV not the radio so it had to both look and sound good. They still have several shows similar to "top of the pops" Musicbank, Inkigayo, M Countdown being the biggest but there is more run by the different tvchannels on wich artists will debut as a group and have their "comebacks" (in Kpop each album/main single release is a comeback) BTS as example had their debut stage at M Countdown :) (just editing to add that CLs new single Spicy is great ;) )

They have there album lol 😂

I enjoyed this video. Because you trying understand K-pop industry culture.

Typically in the idol music industry, Boygroups and Girlgroups have shelve life because the industry is very fast-paced. Alot of groups don't survive that long especially for girlgroups. At least that is what I see for the most part. 2ne1 is a great group but unfortunately, they already disbanded. It's really a pity.

Kpop has its pros and cons. But it's quite unfair to just look at all the negative aspects because then again. We all have different standards. Kpop's system works differently and is very much more organized because only the most dedicated, hardworking, talented, and people that can fit the companies standards can debut. Some companies are extremely illegal and bad, but others like Hype, YG, SM, Jyp, etc know what they are doing and had business strategies that some people might not like but it makes the business grow. I suggest looking at Blackpink Light Up The Sky documentary because it highlights their journey.

Also, not saying YG is a God or anything, but the company and staff care about the artists in which si why they promote them smartly. Though the treatment between the boy groups and the girl groups aren't good as it takes YG girl groups 4 years to develop credits and to produce their own stuff.

You just knew the mismanagement of BP in other videos and you already judge the whole company and how these company work, YG Entertainment. You didn't just judge YGE but kpop in general. You can't learn how kpop works with just a few clicks in yt videos tho. Just so you know, Kpop has these thing called "system". A system that built by Lee Soo Man aka the CEO of SM Entertainment, one of the pioneer company in kpop alongside YGE and JYPE. These system is a process of training in vocals, dancing and rapping. That is the reason why it takes a lot of years before trainees be able to debut under a certain company and it is also their choice. It is their choice to trained for years. These idols/trainees already knew the cruelty of that system, they have a choice to quit or not. These companies don't deprived them to do so. It is not a healthy environment, it is rather I must say a toxic one, but that's how the process in making a kpop group. It's cruel but they have a choice. In YGE, Yang Hyun Suk (YG) is known as a meticulous and has an eye for a talent. He knows and sees a talent a person has. He ain't debuting a group that is half baked, that is why all the groups he created are well known and have their own distinctive features/characteristics, namely Bigbang,2ne1, Winner,iKON, Blackpink and Treasure. Also, that is the reason why groups under YGE have trained atleast 5 years and so before they debuted becoz he tend to debut them when he sees that they are ready to conquer the cruel world of kpop. If we will talking about artistry, YGE is known for that. Bigbang and GD is the one who broke the stereotype that idols are just a product of a company that they can't make or produce their own song. GD is the first idol who broke that stereotype as their debut and all other songs under BB as a group or their solo stuff's are all self produced. That influenced the other company and idols later on. YG himself already giving a task to his trainess to compose a song even if they are just a trainee. But the thing is, he is just only doing it to his boy groups. That's the reason why he's been calling a misogynist by fans specifically Blackpink fans. YG by far never let his girlgroups to release their own self composed songs. The songs of 2ne1 and Blackpink are all works of mainly Teddy and other in house YG producers. That's the bad thing that YG did to his girl groups. Tho YGE is known as an entertainment with a lots of self produced groups (Bigbang, Winner,iKON,AKMU and Treasure) BP and 2ne1 is an exemption for that. The mismanagement of YGE is also the reason why fans have a love-hate relationship with the company. Yes, less comeback is really the most hated part of YG artists fandoms. But when they did a comeback it can still satisfy you with the quality of the songs. I guess that's really the strategy of YGE, to have their artists cb once a year for the fans to have a thirst for their faves. It can tarnished the groups reputation and relevancy but it kind of not applied with YG artists esp. in Blackpink. While, YG boygroups really have less cb since they are the one's who made their songs. So, they also have a say if they are ready to have a cb or not. It is not also easy to have a cb with pressure that the song you will release will be successful. I also remember the reason YG don't let his artists don't have a multiple CB every year is, he don't want his artists image to be look exhausted . He also want his artists to take a rest. But that rest also took so long. Lol. I don't like YGE but I don't also hate them. As far as I can see, the well being of their artists is much more ok than other entertainment. They have creative freedom (again, except for BP) and the artists are also rich. Most YGA's are one of the richest idols. In the Top 10, half of it are from YGE. YGE is not a great company but also not a bad one. Artists leaving YGE saying not a single bad thing about the company speaks volume. At the end of the day, Kpop is still a business. These kpop companies still think a way on how their company can grow and can sustain longevity. That is why kpop companies tend to debut a new group, if not every year, every 2-3 or more years to sustain the company needs.

Bro I think you need to watch a few move videos before making such sharp and harsh remarks and opinions on Koop. Have started this journey like 5 seconds ago and hear one bad thing and for you it makes everything bad. U heard all the good things and didn’t say much but they he says the promotion stuff and you stop and talk about it. Please be a bit more opened minded that’s all I ask for 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

It would be like asking an Apple fanboy what they think of Microsoft, getting the opinion of YG from a JYP stan. So it's obvious at this point he's actually trying to use the content to hate kpop.

I really wonder if there is much of a difference between the practices of large Korean and American pop labels at the end of the day. Korean labels debut lots of groups to try to make money and American labels sign a lot of artist to try to make money. It feels like the workings of the idol industry is just more transparent for whatever reason. I think it's also good to remember that you're watching videos that focus on the idol part of the Korean music industry, not the whole of it. There's lot of indie, rock, rap, trot, etc musicians in Korea that don't come up through this system.

But its known that YG pay their artists better than all other company. YG pay the artists 70% but other company only pay their artists 30%, you right about the music integrity but at the end of the day, its about making money.

The one who make this video really hate YG.. This video doesn't say so many things which needs to be said that will make YG look good yet collected all the negative things around.. LMFAO

You just haven´t heard of them now because they have been on a hiatus since 2017. But they are preparing to comeback.

Especially because nowadays the US- snowflakes try to label everything they usually simply just didn’t liKe as physical and or mental harmful attack

Just a note that in the world of Kpop you will often find people who for whatever reason choose to follow a particular label in the same way they may follow a particular artist. They may also identify with the group of artists under the label without necessarily subscribing to the label culture. Labels tend to get ranked as poor, better, almost good etc. As consumers of music it is up to us to use our purchasing power responsibly I guess. There have even been Kpop artists at times contractually obliged who have asked their fans NOT to stream or buy their product. The system does produce great musical content and there must be a huge pool of idols and ex idols out there who are among the best in their fields worldwide, just languishing in their post careers, perhaps burnt out, perhaps just tired. I guess that's where Psy has done what he is doing now.

In Korea it called idols music which when some persons with talents audition at or participate in some competition then signed with company train during months or 2-5 yrs(vocals dance..rap lesson ..) under certain system program that differ depending companies then debut .. >while there is whole independent music scene in Korea : ballads RnB,indie,hip hop ..trot.. Where artists are not under this idol system even if they sign with company it just for some project to help promotion that's it like epik high that mentioned here is old famous group for years now,it RnB indie hip hop group who produce/make/write Thiers things (a lots of bts members love epik high ) psy also is technically not idol ... > .kpop music is more consumed by youth or peoples that flow mainstream music. .but south Korean general public don't listen to much to idol music (in exception of some groups +solo. Idols who growth more like artist ..)Korean gp listen more to normal independent music 2-i know there is a lots of stereotypes and this generalisation idea from west media that kpop is manufactured dark side fake ...which I find sometimes biased exaggerated cause reality kpop is not better or worst then any other industry around world trust me ..there is huge negative and positive sides at every industries even USA . for years it not new ...you need to read about Western entrainment system+ companies as well 3- but Yes l can tell you in general that concept of kpop group /idol in Korea is not same as boy band concept in west +the way the two industry work is also very different..more than that for example the way bts rise +journey was also somewhere different from most kpop groups due to a lots of factors ، , to understand this it important to know about Korean societies. ..kpop industry/background at 90 ,if you have time you +you are interested to learn l recommend you to check those informative videos: you are wrong about kpop :kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKJkyc-uj9CTn9Y.html -kpop vs orientalism essay >birth of kpop :kzread.info/dash/bejne/epmmt5iAqtHFf5c.html >bts vs kpop video essay :kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHanvMqBgKSdpJs.html >kpop history in 20 min: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nYSHltZ8eLecg6Q.html

I agree with you 100% when it comes to albums. I am used to listening to full albums from my fav artist but kpop is different. The industry has this obsession for singles, eps/ mini albums. It isnt just a yg thing. I think kpop industries' mindset is why invest a lot of resources in making a 10+ track album when you can just release all those would-be tracks into singles in staggered across lets say 1-2 years? And i also think koreans have short attention span in music. They probably dont have the interest to listen to a full album which usually runs for at least 30mins. Given how competitive kpop is(probably the most competitive music industry coz of the increase in demand), esp now with all these new groups coming out I understand why labels would prefer putting out singles or eps to remain competitive and be relevant. It makes me sad actually coz it feels like kpop has become a fast food industry. And lastly though dont just believe everything you hear from youtube videos. Yg actually encourages their artists to write their own music and participate in the production. When it comes to blackpink theyre slowly getting there if you just try to not be persuaded by all those unconfirmed information about yg. Btw blackpink choose their own hairstyles and clothes. Nobody is telling them what to wear.

Greetings from Sydney, Have to say I agree with you Big Hit are different. As you said - Being in the industry yourself you see this kind of thing in the US too. It happens everywhere that companies don't let talented artists create but only see them as a product. I enjoy your reactions, I am enjoying your BTS journey, thanks for sharing. 💜 SUGA of BTS, in a recent magazine interview, talked about the mistreatment and mishandling of artists by their companies: "The great thing about the label I'm with (Bighit) is they listen to the artists' opinions. I think both we and the label know to a certain degree what kinds of activities would be best commercially speaking. But the question is whether the body can endure it or not. If the fatigue builds up as you continuously do those promotional activities, it's hard to do them the way you did when you first debuted. In that case, I think the label ought to actively accommodate the artist's views about what they can and cannot do. An attitude that's just like, "oh, we made you kids, and as long as you just do what we tell you to it'll all work out, so just do it" -- I think that really doesn't make any sense. Of course, there could still be situations where the label has to be pushy like that, obviously. But I heard there have been times where a label will just say, "do it" without any explanation to the artist or "why are you talking so much?" I think that's the biggest issue and it's destroying the industry. If you just see the artist as a product, how can they do anything creative? I really think it's very contradictory to ask the people on stage to put on an enjoyable performance when they're experiencing neither fun nor enjoyment" Also, Check out AKMU Musician they are fantastically talented siblings who write their own music. Please react to Rise of Bangtan it will answer every question you have about Kpop and BTS. Have a Great Day💜

You shouldn’t believe everything a reactor says, many of them simply lying to get more cloud This one here especially appears a little suspect because of his claims on his other reaction channel („teacher-paul react“ i believe) we’re he make reactions of European culture and geographic stuff, and that he at this other channel always proclaimed he is allegedly a teacher instead of someone who is.working in the music industry …

I got your frustration, i am frustrated too because it took very long but blackpink already have album last year. But yeah we still waiting for next album and its been a year, but we got Rose Solo and soon Lisa Solo and Jisoo kdrama. So yeah YG can do this because they know we as fans wont leave blackpink. But i come to understand YGE is still the best in term of pay their artist and invest in them. Blackpink or YG artist got the most pay precentage out of all kpop artist. They got the most expensive MV, they got the most share of youtube, and if they leave YG they will also got their youtube channel. So in this term YgE def the bes

The big "right thing" about you: your ideals about what music making, artist, music industry, etc. are great and I am 100% with you! Now, the many big "wrong things" about you: (1) correct me if I am wrong, but you have watched 1 music video from BlackPink (BP), total 2 MVs from 2 K-pop groups, BP and BTS. That is a long way to have enough info to form an opinion about what K-pop is (and I am certainly not going to tell you that you will discover what a wonderful music-making machine K-pop is). All you thought you have "learned" BP is 2 documentaries from 1 KZreadr. I've watched many of his contents. I think he is a benign, fun guy, who loves to create contents about K-pop idols for fun. No particular hater of anybody particular, not even Mr YJ. Bu, like many other YT opinion-makers, he does not know anything behind the scenes these Kpop companies, who never respond to anything anybody say about them. I don't claim I know than him. All I care about K-pop at this point is that a different of music/entertainment products so different and interesting, NOT superior nor inferior to what I have seen coming from the West. Just different, not better. Just Wow! For now. And the culture behind it is interesting! I recommend that you do like I have done, watching tons of more videos before forming strong opinions. For now, you sound like a wonderful human being who is making intelligent analysis about something I don't recognize, definitely NOT about BP, YG, or Kpop. Please watch a lot more Kpop videos. Have a fun journey!

u sound very uneducated bro this company has been producing new artists for years and every single one gets huge none of them are unsuccessful theres a reason theyve been looked at as a big 3 for so long starting really from bigbang to 2ne1 to ikon to blackpink to treasure every single artists is hugely successful and are known as kpop legends even bpink even though they debuted only 5 years ago so just because u dont like their artist album management doesent mean anything its a proven formula and kpop isnt just about albums and music thats why they can go so long between albums and set records every comeback they idols not pop stars they dont just dance sing and reease music they have fan content variety shows reality shows not american reality btw dramatized fun reality and variety content so the fact they dont release music that much doesent mean much because fans are constantly getting some type of content you cant look at kpop as a music industry you have to look at it like a culture

Shame on you dude!! Sorry,, I'm just being honest. From this video i really can tell how not informed enough you are. And the funny thing is your judging YG while you know nothing. I know it's your point of view dude but I really recommend you to do research first before you judge.

Howmuch so I myself hate that man YG, but even I can't deny the fact that that man has found and created Iconic Superstars!

blackpink and treasure be saving YG

Hey Jim thanks for the video! I agree with everything you have said. Regarding YG and the scandals, it was a huge incident that tarnished their label, kpop as an industry or even the country.. I do not suggest you react to any of the scandals but if you wanted to understand, just look up 'Burning Sun' if you want to know more as it will be hard for YG to every come back completely from it. I hope you don't get turned off from the industry because of these kind of scandals because it gets a bit dark when you first learn of things. I hope it won't overshadow all the awesomeness for you. I really suggest you watch the Rise of Bangtan series if you want to understand the country and culture better. :)

It's literally not just this one label. This is how the entire industry works, so many groups debut each year while older ones rarely disband and it makes it so competitive and even more difficult to do well. The industry isn't going to be put on pause to let the current groups grow, so each company has to put in more effort and money to try outdo other groups. Obviously, their management is questionable when they have the biggest gg as well as artists who can literally produce their own music which has been proven to do well, but YG also is not the worst company out there.

Yeah Im realizing this is aa much bigger problem than just YG.

If you get in depth. SM and JYP are more worse. YG is just not good at managing their idols activities.

ugh, internetsnathan. Notice the absence of BLACKPINK material behind him, there's a reason...If you're looking for a reason to hate something on KZread there's always someone pushing it.

“Negative days negative nights…baby your wasting your time” is appropriate for some yea? Lol i cringed from the last video it was emotionally over the top now he picks up another one that will gas him up even more feeding on refusing to look at the artists story in general. he will keep on this anti YG parade till his head explodes and im here for it. YG and their artist are this biggest target for those that envy their talent and success. has been for decades. Its why GD went off on MAMA the media the way he did they like to play games. like politics people feed and consume from it.

30:45 that's not a Korea thing. That's an Asian thing. Speaking as an Asian myself I have to admit that getting tested and given a score to almost anything makes me a little anxious sometimes but that's just how it has been. I'm not saying it's all good, but it's not all bad either. I just wish we're not as fixated on it but I know things like that take time. Yeah that's just a cultural thing. For example in Kpop, Koreans make a huge deal if a Korean artist was found to "bully" someone from his/her past. I just find that ridiculous. It gets to a point that their company even puts them on hiatus to protect the artist from any more damage. The fact that you may have insulted someone from your past is likely to end your career in Korea. It's crazy. Goes to show there are cultural things that are common to Asia as a whole, but there are also those that are unique to every Asian country. Been a Kpop fan for more than a decade but I'm still trying to get used to the way Korea operates lol 😅

I think it goes back to ancient China and the idea of taking a test for civil service and it’s created a huge geographically spread culture of testing and such that is ingrained in a way that I don’t think westerns really “get”, I know I didn’t till I started reading more.

BRUHHHH!!! you literally don't know what kpop is and what YG is in KPOP... being a kpop fan since 2008 and hearing your comment is like "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUY SAYING!!" "HE IS TALKING ABOUT ENGINEERING BEFORE EVEN GOING TO NURSERY!!!" and this is the problem with the new fans in kpop they don't understand anything yet they act like they know everything after watching some fanmade youtube videos and fan theories.... kpop isn't just about the music it includes/bounded by everything like the fans, the medias, the public, etc. .... none of the youtube videos or fans will tell you that YG IS THE ONLY COMPANY IN KPOP WHERE IT GIVES FREEDOM TO its employees and artists which creates a great working environment and that's why it is even listed as one of the top 100 companies to work in KOREA and they are the only entertainment company to be on that list until now... YG is known as the blueprint of kpop along with SM and JYP... the comment like discarding artists is just stupid coz you don't even know the fact... YG is known for saving artists from miseries PSY was saved by YG and he became huge bcoz of YG, EPIK HIGH was saved by YG, SECHSKIES saved by YG ... there's a lot of other things y'all doesn't even care to study or research about yet y'all are here giving lame comments... the fact that you don't even know BLACKPINK has an album yet you're using their name on creating criticism that's a shame bruh.. MOTTO of YG is "QUALITY OVER QUANTITY" let the haters talk we gonna do our own way that's what it is in YG and its artists... talking about money YG is the only company in KPOP to give their artists 70% of profits no other company does this..... PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS and that's what you are doing rn.. RESEARCH, STUDY AND LEARN MORE AND THEN COMMENT.

Pero blackpink es de yg no de otra empresa

Blackpink did drop an album last year

This video kind of glosses over ygs past, mainly ignoring how they have a history of signing hiphop artists to give their company credit and then dungeon them - yoy opinion on their shelf lifes is completely on point tho it isnt limited to just yg sadly, SM pioneered that

AKMU (sibling duo) is an exceptional case... AKMU has a very beneficial contract that protects their creative freedom, because they were smart enough (and assertive enough) to only accepted to sign a contract with YG entertainment if they had a contract that protected them... And, arguably, they only had the chance to do that because they were introduced to the music industry as an acoustic duo with a singer and a songwriter. It doesn't seem to be the case for many artists in YG. These big old companies are not everything though, Korean music is much more broad. They have a lot of small labels, a lot of independent artist and an underground scene too. Idol music is also more popular abroad, but in Korea, popular genres are: ballads, r&b, hiphop and indie music.
