YG staff replies to a comment about BABYMONSTER's debut production on 'Blind'

AKP STAFF

An anonymous YG Entertainment staff member has made a revealing statement on 'Blind.'

On an online forum, netizens delved into an intriguing conversation spotted on 'Blind,' a workplace community app where verified employees can anonymously discuss their work life. A screenshot from the app shows an employee from F&F posting about BABYMONSTER, the latest YG girl group.

The post reads, "YG Entertainment... is it because Yang Hyun Suk has left its... management...? BABYMONSTER's... video... it really looks so old/cheap... isn't there a visual director?? Is this the YG Ent that I know?"

Beneath this post, other anonymous employees from different companies chimed in, including an employee from YG Entertainment itself. 

They wrote: "We never had a visual director anyway...."

The conversation then evolved between the F&F employee and the YG staff member:

F&F: "Then why...is the BABYMONSTER video... so bad...? It's being negatively contrasted with BLACKPINK's."

YG Ent: "[The BABYMONSTER one] is by Yang Hyun Suk. BLACKPINK's was produced by Teddy, and BABYMONSTER's is by Yang."

F&F: "I mean, 2NE1 and BLACKPINK's were so trendy... what is happening with BABYMONSTER... They look like 4minute."

YG Ent: "It depends on the competence of the producer."

F&F: "Bring back Teddy." 

YG Ent: "All the employees think that things will be fine as long as [Yang Hyun Suk] doesn't touch any of these productions."

In the comments section on the online forum, netizens expressed their agreement with the anonymous YG staff and left reactions such as:

"Oh god..."
"Girl groups thrive on production level, and did he just ruin it"

"I should just wait for Teddy's own girl group"
"Looking forward to Teddy's girl group"

"Based on the fact that the YG actors are doing fine, is the problem really Yang Hyun Suk"
"Save 4minute...they were really trendy for their time y'all..."
"Everything about BABYMONSTER this time around is like an old YG style"
"I heard Yang Hyun Suk's brother is in charge of the actors in YG, so...."
"To be honest, my expectations lowered when I saw Yang Hyun Suk as part of the music production for BABYMONSTER's new song."
"Teddy has his own label now so"
"Of course the employees would know..."
"Leave 4minute alone lol they were trendy back then"
"YG was built by Teddy and the idols who produced their own songs..."
"YG lives in the past..."

4Minute was very good at the time, ahead of the second generation of k-pop. The day when any new group manages to be as iconic as the second generation groups, then we will talk.
