Interview: Yang Hyun Suk’s International Dream
Yang Hyun Suk’s International Dream
Note: 2NE1 mentions only
15 years ago, President Yang Hyun Suk founded YG Entertainment, and since then has produced stars such as Se7en, Big Bang, and 2NE1, who have all turned out to be formidable KPop stars, and this year, YG has finally been listed in the KOSDAQ market.
.
.
.
◇ “In the international market, content plays a key role.. 2NE1 World Tour” = YG is foremost, not an agency that mainly focuses on just business. Artists focus more on making good content first, so there’s a conservative look at overseas expansions.
.
.
.
It’s fortunate the Big Bang and 2NE1 is more suited to the Europe and United States market, compared to the other singers and groups. It’s because both are trendy and heavily based on hip-hop and are both grounded in their music, explains the president.
Like Big Bang who is going on a world tour this year, 2NE1 would also be opening to the world market. If 2NE1 would benefit greatly from it, then there may be plans for a world tour for promotions.
Now, YouTube and Social Network Services usher in a new era for singers all over the world. Even without any formal promotions Big Bang won MTV’s Europe Music Awards, while 2NE1 was selected as MTV Iggy’s “Best New Band In The World.”
President Yang has said, “Big Bang, 2NE1, would have performances abroad, joining festivals during their promotions,” he said, “In order to conduct business more efficiently, there may be plans of having YG offices in United States and Europe.”
However, the Asia market is still the key point. Last year, YG collaborated with Avex in Japan, and founded the label, “YGEX,” wherein Se7en, Big Bang, and 2NE1 have promoted under, and where Psy is planned to debut this year. They haven’t attempted to expand in China yet, but are looking to advance at the direction of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
President Yang said, “Big Bang and 2NE1 in United States and Europe, Se7en in Japan, we’re focusing on the strength of each artist that would match the market.”

*Sth About YG’s new group..
He said, “2NE1 is an extensive combination of hip-hop, electronic, and rock, mixed with rap music, it’s hard to see that they are still relatively a rookie girl group, it’s hard to say for now what the new girl group’s concet would be,” he said, “Usually, YG groups are heavily grounded on hip-hop.”
He followed with, “Big Bang with the internet, 2NE1 with cable broadcasts, the new group would emerge in a new, different way as well,” he said.

OMG! Can I please recover first before I post anything here?
For the meantime… SQUEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Stepping out of Korea, walking towards Asia. “I Am The Best” 2NE1’s Sandara Park.
Be it in singing or looks, “Noona you’re so pretty” “Am I really that pretty?” The 5 shinning members of SHINee!
I’ve heard that these famous & busy people are filming a CF, so I went there.
*Shy Shy* >.<
Now, let’s take a look at the site where they are filming!
Buing Buing~
MC: “Skin is so beautiful~ skin is the best! Everybody, today is daebak! Famous people in the kpop industry have gathered together! Sandara Park & SHINee!”
Jonghyun: “Hello. We’re the shining…”
Dara: “Dara!”
SHINee : “SHINee!”
MC: “It’s nice to meet you. Dara! What’s going on? What’s happening with you & SHINee? I’m so jealous!”
Dara: “I’m always nervous from the start of the year~
MC: “You’re really lucky.”
Dara: “Yeah!”
MC: “I’ve heard that you guys are filming for a CF. What’s the main purpose of the whole CF?”
Jonghyun: “Dara is together with SHINee for Kiss..”
All: “Note!”
MC: “Omo! Have you guys rehearsed it??”
Jonghyun: “Kiss…”
All: “Note!”
MC: “Awww, daebak! Wait a minute, Kiss Note? I’ve only heard about Death Note. What is Kiss Note?”
Minho: “What happens when someone writes a name on the death note?”
MC: “The person dies! Dies!”
Key: “So, if someone writes a name on the kiss note~”
MC: “Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg. So that means they will kiss?”
Taemin: “Bingo! Yes, they’ll kiss.”
MC: “Omg!”
Jonghyun: “They will?”
MC: “Who?”
Caption: Omo! So is this the kiss note? Dara, can you lend it to me for a while? Just once!
MC: “I heard that Dara is allowed to date this year.”
Dara: “Yes yes!”
Key: “Awww!”
MC: “It’s the new year, so will you be in a relationship?”
Dara: “Errr. I am only allowed to start dating on the 17th of May to be exact. Though I’m allowed to date, but i have no time and no man. I dont know if I could date.”
MC: “This is so frustrating… Don’t look too far. Aren’t you filming a CF with SHINee? How about finding your boyfriend from SHINee? Who is your ideal type?”
Dara: “Ahhh, they’re all good looking. Bling bling & handsome…”
Jonghyun: “Yeah, I’m too good looking.”
Key: “I’m the bling bling one.”
Jonghyun: “But I’m the good looking one.”
MC: “During the filming, what is the most difficult part?”
Dara: “It’s winter and it’s very cold.”
Caption: During the day that they were filming, the temperature is -10 outside. Everyone including the backstage staff were freezing. Even though it’s freezing, once the director says “action”, they have to start filming. Wow they’re so professional!
MC: “Isn’t the CF called “Kiss Note”? The title is so romantic. How do you all feel when filming it?”
Jonghyun: “I’m extremely shy. I cant look at her. I’m very shy.”
Key: “He isnt shy. I’m just being myself. Once we were about to kiss, everything went blank.”
Taemin: “I’m also very anxious.”
Minho: “I… I… I…”
Caption: What happened, Minho? Someone please pat on his back.
Minho: “I cant breathe!”
MC: “You’re so lucky to have survived.”
MC: “It’s really a nice title, Kiss Note! I’m curious about it. Last but not the least, for all the fans, so did you kiss?”
Key: “Wouldn’t it be no fun if we were to tell?”
Jonghyun: “The CF will be revealed on the 1st of March.”
MC: “Really?”
Dara: “Yes”
Dara: “Dara…”
Jonghyun: “SHINee”
All: “Kiss Note!”
Taemin: “Coming soon soon…”
Caption: I’m so excited! Dara & SHINee’s Kiss Note. Please wait for the CF to be revealed on Youtube on the 1st of March!

“K-pop stars have a lot of potential… I found a new expression in K-pop. The world is open for new things,” he told the magazine. “This partnership is the beginning of history.”
A producer, designer, rapper, DJ, painter, CEO, professor and marketing manager, Swizz Beatz, one of the most talented figures Hollywood, is taking another leap by attempting to bridge the music world between East and West.
Through the partnership with the agency in Korea, Beatz will be producing albums from the two countries and assisting them on entering each other’s market as well as making cross-region collaborations with A-list musicians.
Separately, the companies stated in a press release that artists from both firms including Alicia Keys, who is also the wife of Beatz, are planning to produce joint albums under Beatz’ direction.

Me2day: Dara Tells Us About Kiss Note’s SNS Drama Format!
Oh my gosh! Seriously, I can’t wait for this CF already! One more week to go you guys! BTW, SNS means Social Networking Sites. Meaning that they’ll probably promote this CF through sites like me2day, Twitter, Facebook, etc, where it can be shared more easily. ^^
Hmm, the Kiss Note sounds like a spin-off of Death Note! If the concept is the same, then Dara would write a name on the Kiss Note, then the guy whose name she wrote down, would kiss her! Keke! (Death Note is more morbid. The owners of the name written on the Death Note, dies. XD) Seriously, this CF campaign would be so awesome, I can feel it! ^_^
Dara + Jonghyun, Dara + Key and Dara + Taemin for the win!
