During an interview with Newsen on February, Jang Hyun Sung shared, "Personally, I haven't noticed a big difference in my activities, but my perception of YG has changed.


In the past, I wasn't too fond of the way that the major labels including SM, JYP, YG, and more were the envy of youth. I'm also a father, so I had the prejudice that it was just a place where they take little, young kids and make them practice dancing. But upon entering YG, it was very different from what I expected.


The thing that made me go, 'Look at this,' when I first entered the YG HQ is that the staff's facial expressions were bright. The YG HQ has a cafeteria in the basement, and the ahjummas who work there have really good facial expressions, meaning that they don't just like [working there], but love it. If you want to tell how healthy the organization is, look at the employees' expressions.


Contrary to outer appearance, seeing from the inside, I saw how the employees are treated well and that made me feel a lot of things. All of the members including the building-maintenance workers, cafeteria ladies, and artists all pride themselves in being a YG member and think of it happily. Upon seeing that, I thought, 'Ah, this seems like a very nice place.'


The best part about YG is that although the cafeteria food is tasty as well, it comes out fast... I'm an ahjusshi style so I don't like eating course meals and waiting a long time. I like that I can get and eat a hearty meal quickly.


When I look at the YG trainees, they have a dream which they're set on at a young age, and they put their all into it. I felt like that image is more innocent. But from a father's perspective, it makes me think a lot of things... If you go to the YG HQ, there are really a lot of trainees who range from very young children to a lot older students. Upon seeing that, my prejudice towards idol trainees and aspiring idols vanished."

Are you surprised to hear this about YG Entertainment?
