Actress Nam Gyu Ri revealed she would pick YG Entertainment over SM Entertainment.

On the February 27th installment of JTBC's 'Give Me a Meal', Nam Gyu Ri and Oh Ji Ho were given the challenge of finding a meal in Seoul's Sangdo-dong. The actress revealed how she was cast as a member of SeeYa, saying, "The famous agency heads gathered at a cafe I was working at, and they were having an important meeting about albums. There was SM's Lee Soo Man, YG's Yang Hyun Suk, and everyone. JYP Entertainment didn't exist at the time."

She continued, "To be honest, I purposely worked there because that cafe was in front of the major labels. That day, I purposely gave 10 cups of 7,000 Won coffee for free to get attention. Still, they had no interest in me. Though the free drinks failed, I quickly wrote down my profile on two pieces of paper. I thought about giving it to SM and YG, and I thought if they both left, I would give a note to YG. It's because I listened to a lot of music from them label growing up."
