Recently, YG fans have been abuzz after it was reported that TREASURE will be starring in a reality dating show titled ‘Shining SOLO,’ with other social media influencers.
Despite the positive update, discussions on Nate Pann—a popular online community—revealed a somewhat pessimistic outlook among Korean netizens regarding the future of YG Entertainment. Participants delved into the upcoming projects of artists under the YG Entertainment umbrella, expressing concerns and speculations about what lies ahead for the label.
One netizen shared:“TREASURE Dating Show”-> “Scheduled dates between TREASURE members and influencers.
= cause chaos among some Treasure fans + fans of other groups.
“Sechskies Concert + Re-signing < New!!”-> “YG announced the Sechskies concert but the members refused to participate. The other 3 Sechskies members are presumed to halt entertainment activities.
= causing chaos among Sechskies fans.
“BLACKPINK remains under YG for only group activities. Everyone left.”-> “Solo activities are going well, Lisa’s solo comeback and Jennie’s solo activities are anticipated. Good, good.
“And poor WINNER…”-> “The company would be flopping when they return from their military service + re-signing season in a year.
=Sad.”
+++++ I’m not excited…I love YG…I even have many of their light sticks at home…I’m just baffled that’s all.”
Korean netizens commented, “It’s not that the poster is excited, they just stated the facts… Even though I’m a fan, I’m worried… TREASURE and even BABYMONSTER will probably manage to get by, but the groups after I’m not going to be a fan…” “I think it’s Yang Hyun Suk’s karma, I hope Yang Hyun Suk, Pang Su, and Tae Jin Ah really need to fail, let them flop on everything they invested and lose all their assets,” “Ugh, even though Treasure has a considerable number of members and they all can do songwriting, composing, and visual-vocal-rapper roles, why can’t they succeed? I’m not even a Treasure fan, but it’s a bit sad. It feels like they could succeed domestically,” “If there’s no BLACKPINK, YG is treated like a small or mid-sized company, so they need to treat BLACKPINK well,” “BIGBANG and G-Dragon left too,” and “Hul, is TREASURE really going to parody ‘I’m Solo’ show? why won’t they just date in secret why are they doing a show?”
