Top Korean talent agency YG Entertainment will set up a joint corporation with China’s No. 3 cosmetics firm Guangzhou Huanya Cosmetics Technology Co., Ltd.
A press release by YG stated on Wednesday that Yang Min-suk, CEO of YG, took part in a signing ceremony for the establishment of the corporation, with cosmetics manufacturer COSON and Huanya in Guangzhou yesterday.
YG will take part in the establishment in the form of indirect investment through COSON, and COSON and Huanya are set to jointly invest 10 million dollars in the corporation to be set up in Hong Kong.
The new corporation will proceed with a new cosmetics business with each firm utilizing their core abilities: YG, with a number of popular artists including Big Bang and 2NE1, will be in charge of brand marketing; COSON will develop and manufacture cosmetics products, and Huanya will take care of distribution throughout China.
YG’s Yang Min-suk was quoted as saying, “We’re at the point where we’re attempting to integrate YG’s brand, that has become an entertainment business through its artists, with new and various fields.”
YG is also set to launch its first clothing brand in November through a joint venture it established last year with Cheil Industries, an electronic material, chemical and textile unit of the Samsung Group.

2NE1’s upcoming new song, “DO YOU LOVE ME,” is produced by TEDDY, YG’s main producer.
This new summer song is full of fierceness and excitement that suits the hot season, just like “I Am The Best” released in the summer of 2011.
2NE1 has already completed successfully all the dance practices for the song with a new choreographer from abroad. Yet, there has been a bit of setback for the production of the music video, which was scheduled to be directed by Seo Hyun-seung.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the business.
And in most cases, a common decision is to delay the release date for a couple of weeks.
However, 2NE1 is planning to release a new song every month so if we postpone this month’s release, there will be evitable delays for the next songs.
This will be a major setback for 2NE1’s plan.
It is against this backdrop that we have reached the decision to release 2NE1’s second title song, “DO YOU LOVE ME,” on August 7th as scheduled.
2NE1 enjoys higher YouTube viewership among fans around the world compared to many other Korean girl groups. As such, we have decided to create a home video rather than a music video, and 2NE1 will be the one to film with mobile phones and old-fashioned cameras.
We believe that this home video style can work as it will show a natural and casual aspect of 2NE1, who has so far showcased several music videos emphasizing their unique fashion styles in gorgeous sets.
In order to shoot the film within a short period of time until the release on August 7th, 2NE1 has finished their TV promotion activities for “FALLING IN LOVE” after appearing on the Music Trend (Inkigayo) last week.
I hope all of you would understand the situation and will show great support and expectations for the upcoming performance of 2NE1 on August 7th.

[아시아경제 최준용 기자] The co-founder of YG Entertainment YANG MIN-SUK embarks on the Chinese market penetration venture as he goes hand in hand with Samsung Electronics to launch an official channel on China’s largest video-sharing website, Youku.
On July 24 at 3 p.m., the co-founder of the entertainment agency met with Youku Toudou Inc.’s contents director Zhu Xiang Yang and China’s Samsung Electronics marketing director Park Jung-jun for a ceremony in agreement to launch ‘YG FAMILY CHANNEL’ on Youkou. This website is the largest video-hosting website in China. The ceremony was held at Conrad Hotel in Beijing.
The launch of ‘YG FAMILY CHANNEL’ is a pioneer co-project of YG and Samsung Electronics to begin marketing in the Chinese market. Samsung Electronics is the official sponsor of YG’s official channel, and such strategic Korean Wave marketing will strengthen promotions targeted at Chinese youngsters.
YANG MIN-SUK, who said his greetings in Chinese, commented, “For the last decade we had many opportunities in China but we also faced a number of challenges. Thus it gives me great pleasure that we are holding an agreement ceremony finally here with Samsung Electronics and Youku. We will spare no effort to utilize the YG official channel on Youku as a tool to provide individualistic, transparent and exceptional contents to fulfill our role as the cultural bridge between Korea, China and the rest of Asia.”
YANG called his Chinese fans péngyou, which means ‘friends’ in Chinese, and added, “YG is embarking on a journey in China. As YG penetrates the vast land and every beautiful corner of the country, we aim to meet with our Chinese péngyou here.”
YG intends to exclusively provide premium contents – not only the music videos of the agency’s artists including BIGBANG, PSY and 2NE1, but also the video clips of interviews, making of the films, and BIGBANG’s World Tour documentary.
YG’s official channel on Youku titled ‘YG FAMILY CHANNEL’ will be officially launched on July 24 at 7 p.m. (8 p.m. Korean time).
YG, planning to establish a branch in China, is to kick off the market penetration project with the launch of its official channel on Youku.

Oh wow, YG building is going to be featured once again! ^_^ And ack, take a look at this picture! If Lee Hi weren’t exercising next to them, I would think that this picture of Dara was taken in 2009, during debut time with her hairstyle and never-aging face! Right, right? ^_^
YG Entertainment building’s interior and wall decorations would be featured in FashionN’s “Suite Room” season 5 episode, to be broadcasted on May 25th, at midnight! The show will focus on YG Building’s special rooms and interiors, and during the shooting for the broadcast, they ran into Dara and Lee Hi (I think Mingkki is the one next to Dara though I am not entirely sure because they only mentioned Dara and Lee Hi in the article) while exercising in the gym. They took note of the different pictures, polaroids that adorned the gym.
Watch out for the show! We will be posting the video once it is made available. ^_^

YG Entertainment revealed a notice announcing the comeback teaser date on the 28th, of one of its singers or teams, catching the attention of many.
On the afternoon of May 6th, YG Entertainment posted a teaser image with the words, “WHO’S NEXT? 2013.5.28” On the teaser image, the names of YGE artists were posted, such as Big Bang, Psy, 2NE1, Epik High, Gummy, as well as Kang Seung Yoon, and the YG rookie group which has yet to be named. On the upcoming 28th, a YG singer or group would be making their comeback announcement, sparking the attention of fans and netizens.
In the cases of both Big Bang and 2NE1, neither groups have yet to introduce new songs, as their schedules were all full last year due to their respective world tours; on the other hand, the new YG girl group is still clouded in secrecy, making speculations going around as well.
But given the time frame, it has been known that 2NE1 and Big Bang have been doing recording and preparing for a long time, so a possibility of an album from either group is more likely, since G-Dragon has recently released a song that has already become popular. However, there’s also the possibility that the new group would be the one making their debut activities at the end of this month as well, as YG is known for its surprise tactics.
A YG representative said, “Many YG singers have been preparing and recording for a long time, the 28th will make the start of their comeback into activities,” he continued, “Teasers will be revealed little by little in the future before the unveiling and the start of full-fledged activities.”
