[MAJOR UPDATE!] YG Entertainment Kills Se7en’s Career
BREAKING NEWS! UPDATE (11:55pm): This news story has spread all throughout the Korean Media and YG Entertainment has released a statement that SE7EN will be returning to the US shortly. In terms of all of the other statements YG Ent is releasing, take it all with a grain of salt (it's called damage control).. the truth will come out eventually, so stay tuned. The good news is Se7en will be returning. On a side note, is a JT collab that far fetched? Johnny Wright stated himself that he would be working with Se7en...
Inside sources at Red Queen Media (Se7en's US Management), have informed us at allkpop about Se7en's future plans in the US. Unfortunately, there are no more future plans, as Se7en will not be returning to the US.
For two and a half long years, Red Queen Media worked extensively behind the scenes with an extremely limited budget to gain traction in the US market for Se7en. Things were looking up for him as he recently scored the "Joint of the day" on BET's 106 & Park. In addition, our source at Red Queen Media stated:
"Things were looking great for Se7en. Johnny Wright was going to co-manage his career, we setup deals for Se7en to record a collaboration with Justin Timberlake. We even had Se7en scheduled to sing the national anthem live at an upcoming Dodgers game, as well as present an award at the BET Awards show."
RQM also stated:
"It's really disheartening, we really felt Se7en was the best candidate to represent Asians in the US. We truly believed he would've been the first to break through the US market, especially with all of the collaborations and events we had lined up. It's unfortunate that YG Entertainment turned down all of these opportunities, but we are still hoping for the best and that they come to the realization of how important this is for Se7en's career."
Although Red Queen Media wouldn't reveal any further information, we feel YG Entertainment pulled Se7en back to Korea, as his military service is just around the corner and YG's contract with Se7en is almost up. So, we all know what that means, YG Entertainment would only have a few months left to milk as much money out of Se7en in the Asian market before his career is over. Se7en is obviously being held hostage against his will in Korea, because who would reject the opportunity to record a collaboration with Justin Timberlake and work with Johnny Wright?
Hopefully YG Entertainment will have a change of heart and not destroy Se7en's career, this is most likely Se7en's FINAL big break.
More details to be released as they come. Stay tuned for more breaking news on Se7en, only at allkpop.
