He continued, "When YG artists advance into Japan, we will not be matching our style to the Japanese style, but rather presenting a music that echoes YG itself. avex expressed that they like and understand YG's music, so in the future, all music will be released in Japan through YGEX." Mastuura added, "I'm glad to be able to present this new project with YG. I've felt a lot of things through my various meetings with Yang Hyun Suk, and I'm happy to be able to work with him." 2NE1's CL said, "We'll be starting our Japanese promotions soon, so we're glad to be working with seniors who have already advanced."� Dara added, "I've become the communications director for 2NE1 a while ago, so I'll be working as the cutie Director Park in Japan.�This is my first time revealing this, but YG Family will be holding our 15th anniversary concert in both Korea and Japan this year." Big Bang's G-Dragon said, "I'm glad that we're all able to work together through YGEX.�Big Bang has been working as solos, units, and as a group this past year, and through YGEX, we will be working in Japan in the same manner.�It hasn't been decided yet who will come out first, but the person who has the best final results will be promoting in Japan first." T.O.P. expressed, "YG Family is dependable, so I'm glad to be working with them." Maknae Seungri stated, "I don't think there's an idol who has a style like Big Bang's in Japan.
