Do you think YG Entertainment will survive this time?

If their groups start failing they probaly just debut some more groups. If BM is not a huge success they probably will debut a new smaller four member group similar to 2NE1 and BP or they maybe will do that anyway. It's still a bit of mystery why they never have more than one girlgroup at the same time.

YG has many company stans. They’ll actually be fine.

Quote from TheBotter

It's reasonable that if YGE do fall far and have financial turmoil in their future the current owners of TBL could buy those shares and break off. However I don't really see that happening considering they benefit a lot from the infrastructure, distribution and connections set up and provided by YG.

Teddy and his staff would have most of the same connections, and Teddy could just grab a few key YG staff to fill in whatever connections they are lacking. Shouldn't be too hard if YGE was actually dying.

I was wondering why Teddy and TBL were getting involved with Iland2 when they had their own gg group in development. I think Teddy is just using the program to promote TBL itself (separate from YG), like how Yang Hyun-suk and Park Jin-young used/use survival programs to promote YG and JYP.

TBL is establishing itself as a major kpop label (they were originally a small r&b/hiphop label), first with Somi (solo), then Taeyang (veteran solo), now with Iland2 (group they wont manage themselves), and eventually with tblgg (group).

they still have winner and treasure and BM

they'll survive even without BP

I think if Baemon does poorly, YG might not survive. There’s a lot of hype and anticipation around Baemon’s début though, but I guess we’ll have to see what happens afterwards.
