YG Entertainment has produced some of the most powerful rappers in the industry. Known for their charismatic stage presence, razor-sharp delivery, and explosive energy, YG rappers dominate the stage and captivate audiences. At first glance, they may seem intimidating, but fans adore the contrast: behind the bold stage persona lies a softer, gentler side.
Let’s explore the duality of current and former rappers of YG groups: fierce on stage, softies off stage.
G-Dragon
BIGBANG’s leader G-Dragon is known for his iconic artistry and magnetic stage presence. On stage, he exudes confidence and rebellion, but off stage, GD is a shy softie. His tender love for family, pets, fans, and even his thoughtful, introspective personality make VIPs adore him.
T.O.P
T.O.P is admired for his deep voice and intimidating charisma on stage. However, fans know him as an art enthusiast with humour, intellect, and a surprisingly warm, genuine personality. His interviews and variety show appearances bring out his warm and genuine side.
CL
CL is the ultimate stage dominator, often called the ‘Baddest Female.’ But beyond her commanding aura, she is deeply caring. As the leader of 2NE1, she looks after her members like family and often shows humility, warmth, and a nurturing personality.
MINZY
As the maknae of 2NE1, Minzy stunned audiences with her unmatched dance power and rap intensity on stage. However, off stage, she radiates positivity, kindness, and a warm, approachable energy that makes fans feel connected.

B.I
As iKON’s former leader, B.I carried a fierce stage aura and sharp rap skills. Behind the scenes, he is a deep thinker and an excellent songwriter, penning lyrics that expose vulnerability and human emotion, revealing his soft inner world.
JENNIE
BLACKPINK’s Jennie is renowned for her chic and fierce rap style on stage. However, offstage, she’s a little shy, and fans love her warmth, whether it’s her affection for pets, her shy laughter, or her caring attitude toward her members and fans.
LISA
Lalisa dominates stages with her powerful rap flow and unmatched dance skills. Yet offstage, she’s the playful, adorable, and affectionate maknae, with a goofy charm and a heartwarming love for her cats and fans.
CHOI HYUNSUK
TREASURE’s Choi Hyunsuk delivers fierce rap verses with explosive energy and holds the crowd in his grip. Offstage, he’s the epitome of a softie who gets scared easily. He’s also cheerful and supportive of his members, showing his warm-hearted leadership.
YOSHI
Yoshi of TREASURE impresses fans with his sharp delivery and confidence on stage. His anime-like visual is a cherry on top. Offstage, he’s a calm and kind presence, admired for his humility and caring attitude.
HARUTO
With his commanding rap voice, TREASURE’s Haruto captivates audiences the moment he steps on stage. Offstage, however, he is a gentle and kind boy, and his tendency to get scared easily only adds to the endearing contrast with his bold stage persona.
RUKA
Ruka of BABYMONSTER carries a girl-crush aura with her strong rap tone and confident performance style. However, her members often describe her as sweet and supportive, proving that behind her stage power lies a caring heart.
ASA
Enami Asa brings a fiery rap energy that makes her stand out in BABYMONSTER and places her among one of YG’s finest rappers. Yet, her cheerful, youthful personality offstage, full of playfulness and warmth, makes her adorable.
AHYEON
Ahyeon balances strong rap skills with impressive vocals, making her one of BABYMONSTER’s most talked-about members. While she shines with confidence on stage, her tender and affectionate demeanour off stage reveals her duality.
From BIGBANG’s legendary rappers to BABYMONSTER’s rising stars, YG Entertainment has nurtured a roster of artists who embody duality. They are fierce, bold, and commanding when performing, yet behind the spotlight, their softness, humility, and warmth shine through.
