Yang Hyun Suk of YG Entertainment has had a very great year. He established the group BIGBANG on top and successfully launched the new group iKON. International superstar PSY once again sweeps the music charts as CL’s debut in the the US market is moving along smoothly. Also, YG Entertainment’s representative stars PSY and BIGBANG both renewed their contracts with the company.
His ability to pursue calculated risks and musical sensibility have been essential ingredients to the company’s success. He sat down for an interview as 2015 comes to a close and as he looks into the future. The interview took place on December 1 right after PSY’s press conference.
After discussing PSY’s success and his latest hit songs, Yang Hyun Suk gets asked which other songs he is currently enjoying. He answers, “I like the song “Dream” which is dedicated to singer Shin Hae Chul. People of my generation have memories of him and can identify with the song. I actually fell for JYJ’s Junsu’s voice after hearing the song. I felt bad that I didn’t recognize his talent all this time. I can see why he’s so popular. I’m going to recommend that he gets on stage with PSY during his concert. I’d like to see him on stage myself.”
JYJ3 
Oh yeah Junsu winning celebrity fans one by one.
oh yeah! please push for that and get junsu up there!
We all know YHS would never compliment someone he doesn’t believe in.
DB5K was always on TV he never heard him ? what about this battle with taeyang. I can’ believe all this time he never listened to what industry ranks for years 1st and best idol vocalist 😮
That what im thinking about
Really…. After I read his comment about not knowing Junsu’s talent after he was in the industry for so many years, I feel irritated. I think YHS is a hypocrite. Junsu debuted more or less the same time with Big Bang. Jaejoong is best friend with Top and like you said, Junsu had a battle with Taeyang before and that time he was still with DBSK. So, YHS meant to say he don’t know aka don’t care what his artist is doing? Also, why until now, after JYJ pass their bill then only he came out and talk freely? YHS is one of the big guy in entertainment industry together with JYP and SM but for these pass 6 years, why kept quiet when he has the power to act? Isn’t he one of the people who happened to “help” SM banned JYJ from coming out in TV? And just because PSY asked Junsu as a friend to help him and that YHS saw the potential of Junsu in helping YG, as in PSY, to sell his album for billions, then he started to say he is a new fans of Junsu? Really? Where is your sincerity, YHS?
It’s all not so serious. It’s promotional answer in interview among many others questions and answers. He didn’t say that he didn’t know Junsu, he said that he liked his voice more after hearing this song and hinted that maybe Junsu will be guesting on Psy concert. I think it’s like testing the water and distraction at the same time. He is businessman. Why people expect that he will be doing something that can damage his business connections and his artists?
This article looks like he was speaking about Junsu but this is just excerpt from interview. In reality he was speaking about many his artists and plans (among them about his own artist that also can’t appear on broadcasts).
But anyway this is good promotion for Junsu, same as featuring in Psy song. And profit from this song will go to Shin Hae Chul’s family.
Yeah,.. i think it’s more like from the principles of protecting your own investment..that’s why at that time he would choose his own artist or group.to support. They,..the big people couldn’t imagine that JYJ has come this far with all those banned and blacklisting them,..and it’s still works out the same way right now,YHS would still do whatever good for his artist and business…one thing was good.it’s an advantage also for Junsu since he sing with PSY in that album…and what a great thing it is, if he could be the first one to put Junsu on stage and broadcast.
@Eunice I agree with you, they all played the 🙈🙉🙊 about JYJ’s situation in the industry, even though they are in poweful positions. I’m sure one of the reasons was because they know the 3 boys are capable and talented. his opnion is positive about junsu but I feel it’s hypocrite. if he really wants to hear junsu he can go to his end of year concert or his musical ( like how his artists Psy, GD and Epick high did) not in few seconds in Psy’s song be performed in Psy’s concert.
The fans going all bitter, will never be satisfies about anything.
okay, if Soo Man himself decided to lift the ban I’d welcome it from him and all past is gone.
I don’t live in the past, It past. Live the present, the now, the future is coming so stop being hostile.
Yeah, if Soo man quit being mean, I’d quit being mean too, so if this YG dude you are being hostile towards is not mean to Junsu now then why the hell would I be mean to him now.
Get on with the times, Past don’t matter, it really doesn’t because you can’t turn back time all you said and did can not be rewritten. But fix and change now and that would be enough to place a smile on me, cause I won’t lose my breath on hate. Don’t you get tired of always finding someone to hate.
Not saying love or like someone who hurt you darn it, just saying quit it with the hostility it’s getting sick, there is always someone to go all anti on in this site, especially when someone who was wrong in the past, the past past man quit it with the psychopathy.
Dudats, time changed, people change their action to do something right, their personal feelings don’t matter. what do you care about what others contain in their hearts? your the hypocrite because you don’t care. stop obsessing over peoples intentions cause it don’t matter, its the action now that matters, grow up already and put side feelings aside and mind your benefits and the benefits of your loved ones instead of growing the hate in this site, going all anti and hostile don’t you get tired of hating, Good lord when will they stop complaining when good fortune has finally come to hit them in the face.
YG going all positive on Junsu is a good thing, so stop damaging a potentially beneficial relationship. We want to see Junsu on TV, broadcast stations good to YG would be good to who YG claims to like, and he reflected that he likes Junsu in public. It’s always the idiots who are accustomed to having feelings of hate, that ruin life for others. You should be geelful for Junsu in this segment, but damn it’s like you try to get him rejected. Hating on YG by JYJ fans could result in YG putting a good word for JYJ to not come forth.
It finally came forth, lets keep it coming, okay? damn talk about stupid. Like damn baby your wasting your and everyone’s life with hate, including JYJ’s life.
hold on hold on who hate on who ? we only find it strange he said he never heard junsu. I don’t hate the guy dude I am thankful for him to praise junsu. you misunderstood the discussion. YG stans themselves in my t-line found it hypocrite. and I don’t even said I hate the dude becaue se I DON’T HATE HIM. stop making assuptions on how people live their life when you don’t even know them. respect other people opinion can’t we express our feeling honestly without having people like you who act like if they know everything about the other person’s life from two or three words but to call us : hater to psychopath to idots to someone wasting his life on hate hold on hold on you are going way too far. and your Lee soo man if he left the ban, you can go even kiss his a** all you want nothing will change the fact he made JYJ suffer for 7 years and still counting.
you can’t make this world have the same color you can express your opinion simply you don’t have to bash others.
and why are you acting like if YG was just going to make junsu on broadcast and boom he read our comments and changes his mind. why are you talking like if junsu live under the mercy of YG ? do you think junsu is killing himself to appear on broadcast now that he’ll enlist in 2 or 3 months ? his schedule is already full until february if Psy/YG ask junsu to come to psy’s concert junsu will maybe consider DO THEM THE FAVOR. you acting like if YG said he’ll bring back JYJ to broadcast, something entire Korea government couldn’t do ( JYJ even performed on the President inauguration in 2013 and their performance was cut from broadcast). JYJ never kissed ass of anyone in this shady industry, they never made us feel they are under the mercy of anyone or depend on anyone why do you want us to feel so or kiss ass of anyone? Yes I have all the right to be arrogant because my idols walked their path by their own without the help of any of those. if those people don’t feel the shame on how they gang on JYJ why would I feel the shame instead of them ? in my eyes JYJ >>> than that entire shady industry. and if you are waiting for YG to go against SM for JYJ ( a band that doesn’t bring him any benefit) you are so wrong. it’s a business my dear and SM is still bigger than YG and JYP combined.
please know JYJ’s place 1st they are not as small as you talk about them nor were never begging for whatever way to make their comeback to broadcast, if JYJ themselves never lowered themselves to anyone why should I do. it’s not like if Tablo their very close friend never tried to have them on broadcast or discussed the thing with YG not to mention that Cjes Ceo and YG are already buddies but all that changed nothing, YG has already more than enough problems of his artists to deal with.
So Mme/Mr just because JYJ who 2/3 are currently enlisting and who did GREAT all the past years, don’t appear on broadcast doesn’t mean that I have to sugar my opinion when I want to talk about anybody in position of power in that industry and I don’t even feel or said I hate the man I don’t even know how you understand it that way.
Lol. People really take it too far. 1. Yhs has nothing to dobwith jyj, why would he do anything about their ban? The music industry is not a charity organization. 2. He is interested in promoting his artists, he is a businessman. 2. Yes it is possible he did not listen to a lot of jyj before. Do you listen to every single artist in korea extensively? I highly doubt. 3. He was all positive about Junsu. 4. He doesn’t have to justify his concert going choices to you anyone. 5. I cannot understand why you guys need to nitpick on everything. This negative attitude is just sickening to the core. Especially towards a person who SUPPORTS Junsu.
I agree with Glory and Shinnokina! Yes soms we, fans really going too far… we have to be respectful to others, at least someone who didn’t do anything bad to JYJ !!!
The heads of all the big entertainment companies who promote idol singers have many concerns in common with SM and I guess SM was persuasive enough to convince them all to show a united front. Let’s remember JYJ did the unthinkable – they PROVED that the basic premise of the idol makers was wrong: that young singers should be grateful for the opportunity to become stars and the company should be able to work them as hard as it wants for as long as it wants and keep almost all of the money they generate. JYJ PROVED that their careers weren’t over when they left SM. JYJ PROVED that they could be successful, in fact fabulously successful working for themselves, picking their own projects and working their own chosen schedules. There’s more, but you get the point. The repercussions of what JYJ did will be felt long after they’ve stopped being a boy band in the Korean music industry.
All the bands from DBSK to before are all the most talented group but the rest ( EXO, SNSD,— ) are just the trash-group, i do not see their passion with music.
Get the fuck away from jun-chan, YG!
You do realise you are swearing at a person who SUPPORTS him? You people need to take off your fcking glasses! Swear at those who deny him opportunities, not at those who actually GIVE him opportunities.
Shinnokina, I love your comments! you said all what i would like to say here ! but writing in English is big problem for me 😦
OMG!!! Being a long time YG artists’ fan (before getting hooked up with JYJ) had me informed that YHS never appreciates anyone unless he really thinks they’re exceptional. He might not be into DBSK nor JYJ before Psy and Junsu’s collab (probably too focus on his own artists) but it’s never too late to discover an amazing talent, ain’t it? Looking forward for more YG/ JYJ collab in the future.. 🙂
Oh wow, I didn’t expect negativity here but dang some of you need to get rid of that hatred that you have in your hearts. It doesn’t bring any good to Junsu nor fans. Anyways, I am very thankful for YG’s praise and I hope to see Junsu at Psy’s concert!!! Oh, excited to see him preform at Epik High’a concert as well. I was hoping that ikon would preform on the same date. It would make me happy to see some interactions between Junsu and the kids.
Whew,.. let’s not go into extreme..the REALITY is.. it’s still a shady industry,..they would only move and shift for the advantage of their own artist,..if they introduce a new artist they would clear the way for the new artist to be on top,.being an expert in the industry, they know JYJ can make it…why do you think they blocked them and not let jyj perform on air. But they didn’t gamble on that ,..that JYJ can make it even if they were blocked and banned..and if JYJ chooses an oppurunities to do, they did not choose lightly,for sure… they do not want to be in a situation as before.Good thing, because of the JYJ bill, they are running out of excuses.
All you negative Nancy’s out there need to chill. YG is a businessman that needs to look after his own artists. That he is interested in Junsu is a GOOD thing. Just because Taeyang had an activity with Junsu a long time ago doesn’t mean YG has to remember Junsu. The fact that he is interested in Junsu now is an advantage for Junsu. And I find it in no way hypocritical.
Also SM has no power over YG. To be honest, I think the only reason YG noticed Junsu was because he worked with Epik High (JYJ knew them since a long time, as in friends) and now is working with PSY. AKA YG is very concentrated in his own artists (which isn’t a bad thing). These collabs gained Junsu the praise and notice of the CEO of a powerful company. Nothing bad about it.
Sheesh, negative Nancys…
