YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyunsuk’s voice is infamous as YG artists are always imitating his voice in a high, nasally and comic way. Yang Hyunsuk said in an interview:
“My artists are always imitating me, so of course I would watch the shows they’re on. They never do this in front of me but when I see them imitating my voice on shows, I think ‘Ah! So they always fool around like this’ and ‘Ah! So my tone is like this’. I’m not unhappy with the imitations, in fact I find it very interesting.”
He also said that he likes PSY and Big Bang’s G-Dragon and Seungri’s imitations the most, stating:
“When I saw G-Dragon and PSY imitating me on a show, I thought it was very similar and very funny. Seungri imitated my voice at last year’s YG Family concert. It was very well done.”

I, myself find it funny when YG artists imitate YG especially Ji Yong-oppa! hahaha He looks so cute imitating YG’s voice! who agrees with me? ^^
TVXQ, one of the top idol groups that started the idol Hallyu wave, is now being followed by KARA, the new leaders of the Hallyu wave in Japan, and both are on the verge of disbandment. The disputes between artist and company weren’t contained internally, and now they’ve ruptured the exportation of Korean culture.
The current Korean music industry is going all out in creating idol groups, as many are of the belief that there’s nothing better than a smart little idol group in achieving jackpot success overseas. H.O.T started the boom, and were followed by the successes of both Shinhwa and TVXQ. Unfortunately, the disturbing reality of the majority of these groups is that they don’t ‘stay whole’ forever.
Companies prepare years and millions of money in the creation of such idol groups, while the chosen members give up their youth for the success of the company’s future. With hundreds of new idol groups debuting a year, idols are lucky if they can get at least their song heard once to the public.
The efficacy of idol groups is now being put to the test, with companies emerging from the dark while complaining about their inability to create a profit, and top idols claiming that no matter how hard they danced and sang, they were “still cold and hungry.” Which side is speaking the truth?
Money lies at the root of the problem. Companies reason, “We worked to the bones in order to create you,” while idols retort, “We’ve done all that we had to, now give us what we deserve.” The addition of family members only complicates the issue further.
Before anyone even begins to fully understand the situation, both parties begin to destroy each other while fans divide and their influence in the international market collapses.
Amidst such controversies in the industry, YG Entertainment seems to be beckoning the Korean music industry towards a better path because they know the solution to coexistence between a company and its employee.
The solution is surprisingly simple. YG’s CEO once stated, “What belongs to them must go to them.” He gives his artists the freedom to perform music fit to their individual desires, and lends his unending support in ensuring that their dreams are realized.
The CEO is also often seen making affectionate statements towards his own groups, such as “I really hope Big Bang lasts a long time” and “I think preciously of 2NE1.” His artists respond to such love by affectionately talking about him on broadcast programs.
No matter what the answer is, what’s definite is that YG Entertainment lies one step aside from an industry plagued by divisions in idol groups.
It’s common sense that there will be less fights if everyone is full and happy. There’s an old Korean saying that even ravens repay favor, and if people want talented idols to properly get their sound heard by music fans and conquer the international market, people that throw away others for their own selfish greed must disappear.

[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! 🙂
