I'm not familiar with the Big 3, but why is YG still part of it?

History lesson needed.

Because Blackpink is enough

there were groups before BP and treasure you know ?

and soloists as well

If your not familar with it why ask about it?

The question should be why are JYP still a part of it.

Huh... they still got bigbang, akmu and a few others, ikon just cameback. And even if they only had blackpink that's enough to be overall more relevant than jyp & sm.

And anyways big3 is not even about earnings or amount of active groups, there is a reason they still get called that when bighit is doing better than all of them, it's more about their legacy

TWICE still makes coins as well as ITZY.

Itzy who? and overall JYP has nothing on YG and never has.

Itzy who? and overall JYP has nothing on YG and never has.

Itzy is still one of the biggest among 4th gen GGs. It shows JYP still has privilege.

YG is part of the big3 because of the fact that their older groups had such a big impact on kpop. The big3 will most likely never change. that is why.

Quote from jdpm12021991

Only relevant groups YG has going are BLACKPINK and Treasure. Do we even know when Baby Monsters are debuting?

It’s a matter of legacy sis, YG’s legacy they are also sitting on bank along with JYP and SM. There spot will never leave

Miss A says hi. Suzy is still JYP's most successful idol

Miss A with like two hits.. 2NE1 says Hi.

the big3 are the companies that shaped kpop from back in the day until now. YG shaped hiphop and girl crush concepts with groups like Big Bang and 2NE1. it has nothing to do with their current groups being relevant. it's about their contributions to kpop as a whole.

Quote from jdpm12021991

CL couldn't even make it in the U.S. with Ariana and Bieber's manager.

2NE1 was successful, just leave it at that and go

YG and JYP stans

SM stans

An actual blink made this thread, finally high class trolling

why YG? why not JYP

Quote from jdpm12021991

Miss A says hi. Suzy is still JYP's most successful idol

Suzy is no longer in JYP

you forgot akmu and BB.

YG is bigger than JYP though

Blackpink is bigger than Twice now in actually everything and way more relevant so why JYP is in the list?

The BIG 3 will never change it will always be the same because of their legacy

Quote from jdpm12021991

I stan for BLACKPINK not YG there is a difference

You realize that any revenue you give the band goes to the company, right? There's literally no way to stan Blackpink without supporting YG, unless you never consume their content.

If you're okay with that, fine. Stan who you like, I'm not gonna judge. But statements like the above just don't reflect how the music industry works.

kpop exist before Blackpink y'know

YG is in a good spot

BP are touring monsters & are on path to becoming the first global stadiums touring GG ever

BB are legends & even tho they won't match their 2015-2017 touring performance, they can still pull a 90M USD world tour

Treasure are up & coming but they will probably end up doing well in touring

do people just forget niziu exist for JYP?

its stupid to question big 3 with ITZY/TWICE/SKZ anyways, but holy.

Because they had bigbang, 2ne1 and most especially Psy. Currently, there is bp and treasure. And ygngg soon because it's a given that once they debut, they'll be popular. There is also Akmu atm who are digimons in Korea. Winner are also good digital charters and popular in SoKor. If we go by history, the most succesful companies if we go by most successful groups vs number of artists ratio would be 1. Sm 2. YG and 3. JYP.

The fact that YG has the most successful bg in 2nd gen, most succesful gg in 3rd gen and most phenomenal solo artist in Korea which is Psy is enough to have their spot in Big 3.

bp

“Big 3” isn’t about current popularity or even revenue. It’s about the legacy and impact these 3 companies left in the entertainment industry that started with the 1st and 2nd gen that made Kpop what it is today.

as much as i hate yg their impact on the industry is still relevant today. plus they still have an iconic lineup of groups/artists, you dont just suddenly stop being part of the big three.
