[MAJOR UPDATE!] YG Entertainment Kills Se7en’s Career

Se7en US 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.

WTH!!!after all the efforts he gave he was gonna go big in us and now THIS!!!!!!! i..WTH is that????

not surprising at all. i knew it that se7en would fail at trying to make it in the u.s. whether or not it was his management’s fault or not.

Are you freaking kidding me!??? If Se7en had all those great things for him in the US, then YG shouldn’t have held him back! It would have done so much for his career and he was doing so well!  The deals seemed very great, but I know military service is mandatory. He’s only 24. What more can they do? O___________O He could still have a nice career and could go into the military at like 27 or so unless there’s a required age I don’t know :\ 2 Years of military service kills or so you say that it’s coming around. I don’t believe that he failed. He got some recognition.

Awww no way =[

Tsk tsk. Obviously, this debut wasn’t well planned. He should have done his military duties before crossing over.
Dammit, those were some good collaborations…. Ugh. Well, I hope at least BoA can do what needs to be done for us Asians. It’s up to her now. I have faith.

SE7EN’s been here for quite a long time, and he hasn’t received all that fame everyone expected.
there’s a reason why YG is doing what he’s doing for a reason. the man isn’t stupid.

YG seems to be making a lot of stupid choices,letting go of Big Mama,Lexy,and now pulling Se7en. I think he actually had a chance to sort of make it. He just needed exposure,EXPOSURE.Have we not learned from Hustle N’ Flow? You have to be on your grind 24/7. Yah,you were famous in Korea and Asia but here you start from SCRATCH. There’s no point in him even coming at all then if YG would not be fully committed. If you have to call the radio station a 100x’s to get your own song played then do it. Be at every event,make celeb friends. Make yourself known.YG just pretty much wasted everyone’s time then.

damn son.. thats kinda busted.

YG sucks….. After all that big promises he made to se7en and his fan he just pull him out like that. First, he pull se7en back from Japan, now USA. I see the chance that he can make it. se7en deserves better. After this, I would not be surprised if he decided to take a major turn to leave YG. Where your gut YG… Put the man on the field and if it failed at least let him go with an honor. A collabs with JT will atleast put him as a world star as Rain have now in Korea because se7en just deserve at least that much of recognition.

this makes me extremely sad. se7en had a major chance here. they are making a mistake. i had my ignorant little brother listen to his girls track and he thought it was chris brown and loved it… then i told him the guy was asian. lol. ugh. yg entertainment this is SO not cool. i wish he was staying. SE7EN I LOVE YOU!

 
bbTEMPO's avatar

that’s unfortunate.
but honestly,  SE7EN wasn’t getting enough promotion. I mean, look at the Wonder Girls… JYP is promoting them as much as possible. Whereas Red Queen Media… I’m sorry to say this… hasn’t done half as much as what JYP is doing.

 
arigato's avatar

thats some bullshit.

i feel bad for se7en but the managment in the US wasn’t doing a good enough job. they state all of these amazing opportunities and such but for 2 years that he was working there couldn’t be met to at least some degree? I know YG has the overrall say but i think YG had his reason, though i’m not defending YG because in the end he didn’t give enough time and paid enough attention (imo) on se7en while he was working in the US. Hence why, se7en couldn’t make a real enough impact.

Yes its disheartening!.. He was gonna make it!.. He was the perfect candidate as the first Asian to make the crossover

 
Misao-san's avatar

O_O aw man, WTH? There goes my chance of seeing hot Asian male singers on TV. :( I was really looking forward to seeing more Asian stars on tv….. :’(

Umm… Se7en singing AMerica’s national anthem? that must be a joke. his english pronunciation and singing ability is not up to par to sing at a big game and he’s not even American citizen. He will be made fun of in both countries (USA and KOREA).
Glad he doesn’t have to do this. I think he has talents but not enough to be succesful in USA. I’m supportive of Korean celebrities but they need to THINK before they debut in other countries especially USA.

that is so sad. :/
poor guy. guess the timing wasn’t right.

it makes sense. Se7en was just not getting popular enough.
even with more funding, i really cant see his career going anywhere in the US.
now YG realizes this and is pouring all his funds into BB and 2ne1

Fuck you YG! dammmn! poor se7en! i’m so disappointed!

 
Stacychu's avatar

WHATTHEEEEE.

 
medirin's avatar

I have never been so disappointed and upset with YG! He should have kept Se7en in Korea if he wasn’t going to fully support Se7en in his US debut. I’m really sad for Se7en and hope things will work out for him in the end. He’s an amazing talent and sweetheart.

 
mirayah's avatar

that really bites, he definately has the talent & that would’ve been cool to see him work with JT, ugh all the time & effort over here for what? well good luck to se7en in whatever he has planned for the future

 
HiBye2's avatar

hope things turn out better

 
HKchopstix1012's avatar

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM?! I had so much respect for YG Ent. but they just COMPLETELY lost it ALL. I’m so effing upset right now I couldn’t even read the article straight until i had to calm myself down. My hopes for any asian breakthrough is completely down the drain. If it’s not Se7en, it’s not worth any of my time. I don’t know what the fuck you’re thinking YG because you simply aren’t. Se7en hwaiting (with or without YG ent)!
