[ARTICLE] YG Fandom Suffers from Internal Conflict due to YG’s favoritism for 2NE1?


YG Entertainment’s fandom has been suffering internal troubles due to a fan division between Big Bang and 2NE1 fans.

Many Big Bang fans have recently been voicing their disappointment due to their belief that YG’s head man, Yang Hyun Suk, is “favoring 2NE1” over Big Bang. The internal conflict originated from when YG did not approve of and boycotted the selection process of the ‘Best Popular Song‘ award at the KBS ‘2010 Music Festival’ on December 30th, which resulted in GD&TOP being unable to perform on KBS2′s ‘Music Bank.’

On various community sites for Big Bang, fans have voiced out, “2NE1, a group that underwent the most active promotions last year out of YG artists, didn’t have the confidence to win the ‘Best Popular Song’ award, which is why they decided to not attend the show, no? This only resulted in G-Dragon and T.O.P being burdened by the resulting damages. Why does Yang Hyun Suk CEO only favor 2NE1?”

Yang Hyun Suk then wrote an entry on their official YGLIFE blog on December 30th, in what seemed to be a conscious reaction from this backlash. He stated, “The reason why YG decided to reduce broadcast schedules was for the consideration of the artists. 2NE1, for example, must wake up at 2 AM to prepare their hair and make up for their early morning broadcast rehearsal; if they have another schedule the day before, they would be going to the broadcasting building with barely any sleep.”

However, this statement only enflamed the Big Bang fandom. Fans have expressed, “You can take care of 2NE1 in whichever way you like, just let the Big Bang members have more broadcasting time,” and “Yang Hyun Suk has a tendency to only take care of artists who are doing well.”

The general viewpoint of these Big Bang fans is that, just like with the subsiding promotions of Se7en, Gummy, and 1TYM, Big Bang’s promotions has been pushed aside in favor of 2NE1’s.

[PAPARAZZI] Fan Account of MAMA’s After Party, 2NE1 and The BB Hyungs


[I included this since it also mentioned GD ^^]

Since this will just be short, I decided to just post this up! 🙂 My fan account about GD, TOP and YB will take longer and more spazzing! Hahaha!

We arrived at the MAMA After Party and went straight to the VIP lounge. I think we were there for just around 10 minutes when we started to hear a commotion. Our table was really near the path that’s why we were able to run there right away. At this point, there was only a few of us in the VIP area so there was no crowd pushing us back and forth. So we had a direct view of 2ne1 up close! Like really really really close! I could even see the details of their make-up! ❤ We didn’t even have enough time to prepare because we didn’t really expect that they were going to show up. They entered and walked slowly… I started screaming “Dara! Dara! Dara! Sandara Park I love you!!! I love you!” *insert more fangirl screaming here* She smiled her shy but mega-watt smile at us. I have to say, at least this time around I had the wits to scream, “Bom, CL and Minzy” too! Hehehe.. Yay! We were so near them with no barricade between us. Truly, the only thing preventing us from touching them and ganging up on them was R-E-S-P-E-C-T! ❤ I am very proud to say that we kept a respectable amount of distance from them. We really didn’t want to push ourselves. We were just happy seeing Dara up close! 🙂 Truly, we were really really really happy! Euphoric even! We aren’t crazy obsessed Dara fangirls for nothing! Hehehe

I just have to add, DARA WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! She changed into a black jacket (no more purple fur) for the after party. The rest of the girls kept their MAMA clothes on.

Sorry! We really don’t have any fancam of them entering! We were too star struck to be so close to them and they really surprised us. We didn’t have time to prepare. There were 6 of us at the lounge and I don’t think one of us was able to get a fancam. Hopefully I’m wrong! 🙂 We’ll see!

A few minutes after them, GD, TOP and YB came in!!! This time around we were prepared!!! We have fancams of them entering. But this time around, there were already a couple of bodyguards. They weren’t prepared when 2ne1 came in, but they were prepared when GD, YB and TOP came in. I think its because majority of the crowd were fangirls! *I’ll talk about them in my fan account dedicated to them* 🙂

To be honest, 2ne1 completely disappeared into the Super VIP lounge. We barely saw a glimpse of them unlike GD, TOP and YB. There was only one time when Bom and Minzy sorta appeared and they weren’t even facing the crowd. They were talking to some American.

And sad to say, 2ne1 left the After Party right away. They probably stayed like less than 30 minutes. We got sad and bummed out after that. I think its because they had an early flight to catch. Papa YG was at the party and maybe he just wanted his girls to rest. Plus of course, Minzy is still a minor.

They went all ninja on us too. They avoided the huge crowd and passed secretly through our area. We were just sitting down when all of a sudden I saw Dara’s head! We ran near them again and screamed, “Dara! Dara! Dara! Dara! Dara!” again… She smiled and they were gone! POOF! WORSE THAN CINDERELLA! ❤

GD, YB and TOP are completely a different story altogether! They were partying the night away and flirting with the fans left and right! 🙂
