Papa YG Gears Up For a Busy Summer and Fall

YG Entertainment is the home of longtime favorite K-pop groups like 2ne1, and Big Bang in addition to popular solo artists like Lee Hi and PSY, the first k-pop artist to sweep all of the charts pretty much worldwide, including in the U.S. Since Gangnam Style, while there have been no other hits of quite that magnitude, YG Entertainment has been churning out hits like PSY’s Gentleman, CL’s Baddest Female, Lee Hi’s Rose and G-Dragon’s MichiGo, and they have no intention of stopping. In addition, one of the members of Big Bang, DaeSung/ D-Lite is currently on tour in Japan. YG recently posted on their website that they intend to begin debuting a new girl group in October, the same month in which 2ne1′s next album (it has yet to be decided whether it will be full-length or a mini-album) is set to release. The new girl group was initially set to debut with ten members, but the count has dropped to six. YG plans to debut them in a new fashion; each member will debut separately starting in October and then they will come together as a group. The group’s average age is seventeen, and said to be fluent in Korean, English and Japanese. YG has confirmed that one of the six members is EunBi Kim, a contestant from Super Star K. This will be the first girl group debuted by the company since 2ne1′s debut in 2009. I don’t know about you, but I think these new girls will be nothing short of fantastic, and I hope they can measure up to the skills of their seniors in YG Entertainment.
