YG Entertainment (YGE or simply YG) is one of the BIG 3 entertainment companies in Korea. It is also the home of big K-pop icons such as Psy, BIGBANG and 2NE1. YGE is dubbed by fans as the company of great quality. This is the list of personally picked top four things that YGE offers at its best quality.
Top 4 of the list is the fandom light sticks of every group under the company. Fandom light sticks are merchandises of different groups which fans carry around and wave during the idols' performances. YG artists' light sticks are definitely creative and unlike any other. One example is WINNER's fandom (Inner Circle) light stick. The Japanese version of the light stick is machined with voice recognition and so the color changes every now and then for every member of the band. Just how cool is that? Also, the original version of the WINNER light stick (as well as BIGBANG version 4 light stick) has a reaction mode wherein the light illuminates in sync to the beat of the songs.
Third spot goes to the YG artists' music videos. From the story plot, the MV set until the clothes worn by the singers, everything is meticulously planned and on point. The song is given a deeper view for the audience. An example is 2NE1's Come Back Home wherein the MV gave us a lesson that we shouldn't get ourselves be too attached to the virtual world and technology because reality is much more better wherein our loved ones are waiting for us to spend time with them. Here's a trivia, YGE actually spent $470 000 for 2NE1's Come Back Home MV.
Top 2 is the albums and songs each artist releases and promotes. YG artists do not always release songs and albums but when they do, they always position themselves at the top of the music charts and news of their hit songs spreads like wildfire. They make sure to produce songs that are catchy and unique. They make new sounds that are refreshing to the ears. Like Akdong Musician's newly released digital single, Time and Fallen Leaves, the simple and soothing acoustic song is surely a breathe of fresh air among the upbeat electro-pop and hip-hop songs out there. And to add to its soothing vibe, the message of the song is very deep and meaningful that you wouldn't expect it from an 18 year old singer who composed it.
The YG artists are the number 1 on the list. Each one who debuts under YG Entertainment is surely packed with talent and skills. One must train so hard to even get a chance to be on stage. YG even holds survival show to see the trainees dedication and to test what every trainee is made of. Other than that, groups and soloists under YGE always give outstanding live performances which they are always praised for. (They don't do lip sync. Several MR removed videos already proved that)
There are times when YG stans get annoyed by the constant teasing and delays of comebacks, album or song releases and debuts. But they've learned to be patient with YGE especially when the wait is always worth it. Why? Because as what BIGBANG once promised to their fans, "We will serve you as a VIP forever." And YG stans have been given the best of the best and are never disappointed.
