20130202_ygentertainment

According to YG Entertainment, March will be a busy month for the agency as they plan to put out three albums!

We are already expecting ‘monster rookie’ ‘Lee Hi‘s album in March, but according to a statement by Yang Hyun Suk himself, there are also two more albums in store, one from G-Dragon, and one from2NE1.

Yang Hyun Suk has directly participated in the recording process and music video filming of Lee Hi’s newest song, which he believes will be an even bigger hit than “1,2,3,4“. “Personally, I think it’s even better than ’1,2,3,4′. As one listener, it seems like when I’m highly satisfied with something, the fans also have positive responses to it as well… Lee Hi’s tone and her feel possess individuality and charm that are hard to find in other singers, and we have found a song that suits her perfectly,” he commented.

Apparently, joining Lee Hi with her March comeback will be G-Dragon with his new solo album, and 2NE1′s long-awaited comeback album. Yang Hyun Suk shared, “YG style is one in which we try to hurry as much as possible, but never so in a way that we harm the completion level of a project to meet a set date… We want to make the albums being released in March, from G-Dragon, 2NE1, as well as Lee Hi, to be ones that fans will want to keep and cherish.”

Although the agency had previously mentioned a solo album for Taeyang was getting ready for release, along with 2NE1′s album, back in 2012, it seems plans have changed for G-Dragon is said to be the one releasing a solo album in March.

The agency is also busy preparing their new girl group, as well as the solo debut of Kang Seung Yoon, and their upcoming boy group, putting a lot on their plate.

On the topic of their rookies, a representative from the agency commented, “Rookie groups are directly managed by Yang Hyun Suk for about three years. After that, he lets them be self-reliant and entrusts them with the responsibility. YG’s method is like that of a parent who protects and teaches their children, and after three years, as they become adults, lets them reach toward their dreams on their own. “

Given the agency’s history with delayed releases, do you think we will be seeing three albums from them in March? Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Fashion Find: Dara Rocks Balmain at the 22nd High1 Seoul Music Awards

I know a serious debate happened a few days ago about Dara’s outfit at the Seoul Music Awards. All opinions are welcome (for as long as comments are respectful to the artist that we love) but I for one ADORE her styling, outfit, hair… EVERYTHING. I loved her entire look for the Seoul Music Awards.

Video: Singer Ali Mentions Dara in Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook

We can hear Ali mentioning Dara at around 1:57 and 2:29 of the video. She talks about how her and Dara are same-aged friends. The crowd was shocked when she said that she was the same age as Dara. We all know how young Dara looks. ^_^
