History edit

1996–2005: Hip-hop roots, early success and first generation K-pop edit

 
Se7en debuted under YG Entertainment in 2003

In March 1996, Yang Hyun-suk, a former member of the first-generation K-pop group Seo Taiji and Boys, founded YG Entertainment along with his younger brother Yang Min-suk, which was named after the romanized initials of his then-nickname, Yang Goon (hangul: 양군).[6][8] The company's first act was the hip-hop trio Keep Six. When they failed to attract popularity, Yang turned his focus to the duo Jinusean, which debuted in 1997, and then to the quartet 1TYM, which debuted in 1998. Yang credits the success of both acts for bringing YG and the hip hop genre into mainstream Korean music.[6]

In 1999, YG's artists released a collaborative album under the name YG Family. The label followed with releases from artists such as Perry, Masta Wu, Swi.T, Big Mama, Lexy, Gummy and Wheesung. It also established the "YG Underground" label, which housed 45RPM and Stony Skunk. In 2001, a second YG Family album was released. Among others, it featured the 13-year-old G-Dragon, who was then a trainee.[9]

The agency found success in both Korea and Japan with its first "idol" singer Seven in 2003,[10] who became the company's first artist to attempt to cross over into the US music scene, though his US debut failed to gain momentum.[11]

2006–2011: Mainstream breakthrough edit

 
Big Bang debuted in 2006 and was responsible for more than half of YG's albums sold in Korea from 2014 to 2017.[12]

Following Se7en's success, YG formed its first idol group Big Bang in 2006. Despite an initial lukewarm reception, the group's breakthrough the following year and their consistent popularity have made them one of the biggest and most bankable boy bands in the world.[13] This was followed by YG's first successful girl group 2NE1 in 2009,[14] who, prior to their split in 2016, were considered one of the most successful and popular girl groups in South Korea.[15][16] Similarly to Seven, both groups conducted successful careers in Japan.[17][18][19]

 
2NE1 debuted in 2009 as the first major girl group under YG and became the first group to achieve nine number-one songs on the Gaon Digital Chart.

In 2010, YG made a highly publicized move into a new building, while the old headquarters became a training facility.[20][21] In the same year, the company unsuccessfully applied for listing on the stock exchange; it was suspected that this was because the company had too few active music groups and an unstable cash flow, despite an increase in earnings in 2009.[22] Later that year, the label signed established artist Psy.[23]

2012–2016: International recognition and business expansion edit

 
Winner successfully debuted in 2014 and became the fastest K-Pop group to win #1 at music shows. They grabbed their first music show win just six days into their debut.
 
iKon debuted in 2015. Their 2018 single, "Love Scenario", broke several records at the time; including the longest run as the top-charting song, the most hours of 'perfect all-kills,' and the first song to be certified Platinum by the KCMA.

2012 brought YG international recognition when Psy's "Gangnam Style" gained worldwide popularity as a viral video. On August 21, it charted at number one on the iTunes Music Video Charts. This feat was a first for a South Korean artist.[24] By November 24, "Gangnam Style" had become the most viewed video in YouTube history, and the first video to surpass a billion views.[25][26] The song was credited as the main reason for YG's share prices increasing by more than 60 per cent,[27] with the record label subsequently filing its first annual report in 2012 with profits of over 50%[28] after going public on the KOSDAQ the year before.[7]

That same year, the label signed rapper and producer Tablo, leader of the hip hop group Epik High, relaunching his career after a musical hiatus following his Stanford controversy.[29] Tablo's band Epik High later transitioned into the record label following his success.[30]

Yang's increased involvement on competitive reality television series led to several record deals with contestants, starting with K-pop Star’s first season runner-up Lee Hi.[31] Other participants on the show were signed as potential members of the label's future boy groups. On the second season of the show, both the winners, sibling duo Akdong Musician as well as runner-up Bang Ye-dam, signed under the agency.[32][33] The reality program Win: Who is Next was later launched by YG, in which two teams of male trainees competed against each other for the chance to sign a contract with the label to debut as the company's next boy band. The conclusion of the reality series saw the formation of Winner.[34]

In 2014, YG acquired T Entertainment's staff and actors including Cha Seung-won, Im Ye-jin, and Jang Hyun-sung.[35] Through the acquisition of modelling agency K-Plus, it expanded its acting division through the acting debuts of models Lee Sung-kyung and Nam Joo-hyuk.[36] YG also signed a contract with actress Choi Ji-woo.[37][38][39][40] French luxury giant LVMH's private equity arm, L Capital Asia, later announced that it would be investing up to US$80 million in YG. Headquartered in Singapore, L Capital Asia would become the second-largest investor in YG with an 11.5% stake, second only to Yang Hyun-suk's 28%.[41] In 2014 YG expanded into the beauty industry with the creation of its cosmetics brand Moonshot.[42][43]

In 2015, YG invested nearly US$100 million in a new Gyeonggi-do-based industrial complex which was slated to be complete by December 2018.[44] Real estate in Seoul worth ₩16 billion (US$14 million) was also purchased for the purpose of expanding their headquarters.[45] In that year, the company also saw the creation of two sub-labels, the first led by Tablo[46] and the second headed by YG producers Teddy Park of 1TYM and Kush of Stony Skunk.[47] The members of the losing team from the reality series WIN: Who is Next regrouped and debuted as iKon, along with a new member.[48]

In April 2016, Gong Minji, the youngest member of 2NE1 announced that she had left 2NE1, YG Entertainment stated that the group would continue as a trio.[49][50] In November 2016, YG announced that CL and Dara had renewed their contracts as solo artists, indicating Park Bom's departure from the agency and the disbandment of 2NE1.[51][52] On January 21, 2017, 2NE1 appeared as a trio and released "Goodbye" as a farewell song that CL wrote when she heard the news of Minji's departure.[53]

Sixteen years after the group's disbandment, first-generation K-pop boy band Sechs Kies signed a contract with YG in May 2016 to relaunch their career.[54][55][56] In the same month, Chinese technology enterprises Tencent and Weiying Technology announced an investment of US$85 million in YG. Weiying took an 8.2% stake in the company and Tencent a 4.5% stake.[57] YG later added Lee Jong-suk,[58] Kang Dong-won,[59] and Kim Hee-jung[60] to their list of actors. YG debuted their second girl group Blackpink in 2016, their first since 2NE1,[61] followed by the solo rapper One the following year.[62]

2017–2019: Scandals, controversies, and artists' departure edit

At the end of 2017, YG with JTBC launched a talent survival show entitled Mix Nine, a contest between trainees from different agencies.[63][64] Although the winning team was scheduled to debut as idols,[65] YG revealed that the debut for the male winning group had been cancelled.[66][67] The failure of the show led to incurred losses of ₩7 billion won in the first quarter and ₩4 billion won in the last three months of 2017,[12][68] causing JYP Entertainment to surpass YG as the second-highest valued K-pop company.[69]

 
Blackpink debuted in 2016 and became the first female K-pop group to have four number-one singles on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart.[70][71]

In May 2018, Psy left the company after eight years.[72] Epik High member Tablo announced that his hip-hop group had terminated its contract with YG after six years of working together in October 2018.[73] At the same time, HIGHGRND and it artist have been released from YG and Epik High. In November 2018, YG announced YG Treasure Box, a talent survival show to determine the line-up for their next boy group scheduled to debut in 2019.[74] YG later announced that this event would produce two groups, Treasure and Magnum, both of whom would be active as Treasure 13.[75]

In 2019, the Burning Sun scandal involving Big Bang Seungri heated up, which resulted in Seungri's decision to retire from the entertainment industry on March 11, 2019.[76] Seungri was then sentenced to 3 years in prison in August 2021, which was reduced to 18 months in January 2022.[77] Comedian Yoo Byung-jae decided to leave YG before his contract ended, after this scandal further dragged the name of the agency.[78] In early June 2019, B.I, the leader of iKon, was reported to have attempted to purchase LSD and marijuana illegally in 2016; he announced his apology to fans and declared his departure from iKon and YG Entertainment. Yang was also reported to have colluded with the police to cover up the B.I case.[79]

Yang is also accused of money laundering, illegal gambling, and preparing sexual services for potential investors.[80][81] Due to this series of scandals and controversies, Yang Hyun Suk resigned from all his positions at the agency. Likewise, his younger brother, Yang Min Suk, relinquished his position as CEO of YG Entertainment as a form of accountability. This resignation was officially announced on June 14, 2019.[82][83][84] CFO Hwang Bo-kyung was appointed as the new CEO of YG on June 20, 2019.[85]

In July 2019, rapper One announced that he had parted ways with YG and founded his own sole agency.[86] Following 2NE1's disbandment in 2016, CL announced that she would not be renewing her contract with YG Entertainment in November 2019.[87] At the end of December 2019, solo singer Lee Hi announced that YG was no longer her agency, not long after that she released a new album with AOMG.[88][89]

2020–present: Recent developments edit

 
Treasure in April 2022

In 2020, YG announced plans for Treasure's debut which had been delayed since 2019, Blackpink's first full album and Big Bang's comeback which was eventually delayed until 2022. They were expected to appear at the 2020 Coachella festival, until it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[90] During the first half of 2020, YG's financial growth slowly rebounded after the slump. This was assisted by the direction of its business strategy which was primarily international fan oriented.[91] Domestic public sentiment still had not shown a positive influence, but 70% of YG Entertainment's revenue came from overseas fans, most of which came from iKon's first activities after B.I's departure and G-Dragon's activities in China at the time.[92]

During the second half of 2020, YG displayed a positive financial trend due to Treasure's debut album series, Blackpink's full album, Winner's Mino, Yoon's solo activities and AKMU's Suhyun's solo activities. Although not in line with the expected target, this value is thought to be due to COVID-19, which caused some concerts to be cancelled.[93] The construction of the new YG Entertainment building was declared complete in September 2020, this building was chosen as the most luxurious and most expensive entertainment agency building in South Korea.[94][95]

In January 2021, it was reported that Big Hit Entertainment and its tech division beNX had invested a total of 70 billion won (US$63 million) in YG Entertainment's subsidiary YG Plus, or 17.9% of the company's total shares. This investment was made as a form of strategic collaboration between Big Hit Entertainment, beNX, YG Entertainment, and YG Plus, which will work together in various business areas such as platform, distribution, content, and merchandise. YG Plus is the main distributor of Hybe Corporation's products and beNX (now known as Weverse Company) provides content and a platform for YG artists.[96][97]

On May 4, 2021, The Korea Exchange announced that YG was demoted in status from blue-chip companies to regular mid-sized businesses. The blue-chip status had been acquired in April 2013.

In February 2022, YG Entertainment announced that Big Bang would be releasing their first comeback after a hiatus which lasted for five years. In addition, they also announced that T.O.P terminated his contract with YG.[105] On July 1, 2022, Yang Min-suk, brother of YG Entertainment founder, Yang Hyun-suk, returned to the agency after 3 years as co-CEO, joining with the current CEO, Hwang Bo-kyung.[106]

On December 26, 2022, it was announced that both Taeyang and Daesung would be leaving YG Entertainment after 16 years. Taeyang joined The Black Label whereas Daesung is looking for a new start under a new agency, and both reassured that they will remain BigBang members. On December 30, 2022, YG announced that all remaining members of iKon had decided not to renew their contracts after 7 years in the industry. The debut of YG’s new girl group in seven years, BabyMonster, was also teased,[107] before their debut date was announced to be November 27, 2023.[108]
