[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.

puh-lease, YG is one of those few entertainment companies that actually CARES about their singers, and Se7en is super close to the CEO of YG, they would NEVER hinder his US debut, you’re all idiots if you decide to hastily believe this bunch of crap

@500 u dont know the truth either so i dont know u are trying to defend rqm. its a good thing yg ended the contract they werent much help to se7en anyways.if all the things that they said was going to happen then it would have already happpened already. and dont even use the excuse that it takes time. the jt collab was suppose to happen like a year ago and i thought that his album was suppose to come out after the single because it was already done.  to the people bashing yg this is one one side before you decide to bash on yg wait to listen to his side. and if all this was suppose to happen then it would already. maybe se7ens new label in the US will promote him well.

I don’t know why it’s necessary to leak this sort of information without real confirmation from both sides, but, then again, this is a gossip site. In any case, I believe in YG family very much and do not think they would go OUT of their way to stop Se7en’s rising career. YG family is known to be very good with their artists. I mean if it were really YG’s decision to do so, I think it would be best to wait and see what happens. Comments bashing either side don’t do much good. I must say though that RQM is not especially good at getting Se7en’s name out there. Not as much progress could have been made in such a span of time.

AGREE with KTC whether any of you ppl wanna believe this but when u know ppl in high places [IM not just saying this either to shove it in ppls faces i want ppl to know that YG is in the wrong and we need to get se7en back to the states, he had so much going for him. his management at RQM is truly amazing.]  you would know that YG is really just pulling the wool over your eyes.  American media doesn’t play around like that - think about it? this would be a lawsuit in the states in a heartbeat.  The part that gets me the angriest is that we could have had an album and se7en popular in the states concerts n everything. ugh.

People are just too delusional! He has no chance to make it or create a stir (as some ppl think)in the US.  Let the man stay in Korea and do what he is good at!  He needs to be on stage and recreate the buzz.

His fans in Asia have been silently supporting him while he was in the US and this war between RQM & YG is not helping at all.  Some fans have already left due to the inactivity of his US venture.  He needs to rebuild and so called start from ground zero in Korea.

The previous scandal with PHB has damaged his standing and he needs to win back his fans with his music not just talk about whatever could have happened in the US.  YG needs to come clean with what’s going on and let Se7en get on with what he loves doing.  I love the man and it hurts to see his career going down the tubes!  I’m sure there are others who feel the same way.

RQM isn’t all that great, but neither is YG.

Btw, there are several artists that left YG with in a few years:

Wheesung (M-Boat)
Big Mama (M-Boat)
Soul Star
45RPM
Ji Eun

You know.. if you check out * . com ...
They recenlty put up an article about this matter with YG’s response.

It said,

“This is the first time we’ve heard about a collaboration with Justin Timberlake and is only a part of their one-sided claim. Recently, RQM and Se7en’s contract was negotiated and ended on good terms. Se7en prepared for his career in the U.S. for the past two years. Just by taking a look at the investments and efforts we put into the project this entire time, it makes no sense to say that YG interfered with Se7en’s activities in the U.S. Also, we’ve heard nothing of this sort from RQM themselves, everything was ended on good terms and all this isn’t true. We don’t know why this ‘allkpop’ blog is spreading false news. We’re currently looking into the situation to find out the source of all this.”

I’m very happy that RQM is not promoting Se7en anymore. They did not do a good job promoting him. I heard about BoA more during the beginning of her US debut despite the poor promotion she receive during that time. Even the Wonder Girls and Utada were better promoted in my opinion. I do hope that YG finds a better company soon. I would like to hear some new songs from him and have more Asian singers enter the US music industry.

YG is starting to really piss me off lately. The boy has been there for 2 years they should let him do what he has to do there. Stop giving the boy crap and let him do his english thing. He’s the best english speaking asian I ever heard.
