Who’s Behind YG?
Founded in 1996 by Yang Hyun‑suk, former member of the legendary Seo Taiji & The Boys, YG has become a powerhouse in K‑pop. It’s home to iconic acts like BigBang, iKon, and Blackpink, and has once launched talents such as 2NE1, Psy, and Epik High.
The K‑pop Tale of Young Starved Hands
K‑pop agencies have always been on the hunt for fresh faces. Take BTS’s Jungkook – he joined BigHit Entertainment at 13, debuted two years later. BoA was signed by SM Entertainment when she was 11 and made history as the youngest idol to debut at 13. Even G‑Dragon of BigBang started as an 11‑year‑old trainee before moving between labels.
More Audition Stops on the Horizon
YG’s tour is already in motion with Malaysia’s June auditions, and upcoming sessions in Indonesia and Taiwan promise more chances for dreamers across Southeast Asia.
