So, who's the savior of YG? Let's vote!

1/4th of BP is more popular than both of those groups combined so you let me know which 1 you think will save YG

Well I think Blackpink, for very obvious reasons. They are still the biggest gg in the world. I’m sure they will break their own record of album sales.

2ne1- depends on the song that they will release. They’ve disbanded long time ago, so I don’t know how they will do.

Babymonster- they will cover their expenses(especially those youtube ads money spent on them). But Babymonster started milking their fans right away, they have done already a lot of fan meetings, and I don’t think they will have big tour. Reason1- I’m sorry but their music sucks, except “Like That”. Reason2- They overmilking their biggest market by doing fanmeetings. Reason 3 - lack of songs

Park Minju, if YG can buy Illit back

With her Illit would never have beaten Baemon

Teddy. Blackpink is nothing without him.

Teddy. Blackpink is nothing without him.

So true. YG's most successful groups were all produced by Teddy.

obviously blackpink

I love 2NE1 and I also like babymonster just fine but let's be honest, which other yg artist can fill stadiums all around the world like what blackpink did with the born pink tour?

They need Teddy

im not convinced you actually work in the music business like you claim when you ask a redundant question like this. even bp antis and hardcore 2nd gen stans would admit bp would easily get the better results

Quote from David33

On paper, yes BP is more popular, but if it's true, why YG paying money to do a cb for 2NE1.

Its not just on paper, its any conceivable metric. Let me put it this way, BP is so big I think they could release an album covering Nursery Rhymes and it would still chart and sell better than both 2ne1 and BM. Nothing against those groups, but BP is much larger.

I would guess YG is doing a 2ne1 comeback because they like making money.

Quote from David33

Oh, okay. Well, we'll see "soon".

No u won't

Bc bp cmb won't be soon, it will be in 2025, most likely June/July

2ne1, baemon and treasure are there to fill the little spaces and help yg not go to hell and end like other bankruptcy companies like TS until bp cmb finally rise them up like they did in 2023

Quote from David33

From these 3, sure. I can't see 2NE1 and BM selling 1M albums, but I can see 2NE1 having a massive concert, also charting better than the other 2.

Popularity can fade away pretty fast. I would be surprised if BP can do the same numbers that they did last year. Especially now that there are more mainstream and new groups out there.

I'm not even sure if BP will have a real cb next year. This is YG, I can see him giving them 1 or 2 songs, not a full-album or even just an EP. If they want to sell a Single or a Mini-album again, they won't reach 1M. They never did that, only with full-albums, and I can't see YG giving them another full-album. That's why I made this poll.

I don't remember, but I think BM's new cb is going to be an EP too, not a full-album, and 2NE1's cb I'm sure it's just an EP at best.

Jisoo sold 1M and that's just one of the 4.

the answer is so obvious lol

Quote from David33

I've seen 10 times bigger artists flopping.

I don’t think that bp will flop that badly, like you said about other artists. Reason 1 - they have blinks one of the fandoms who act like cults and consume whatever they will release. Reason 2- there is still demand for them and they are not an old group. Reason 3- YG will promote sh*t out of that cb, to save their *ss

Blackpink and it's not even a competition.

They had their biggest revenue and profit ever in 2023, why do they need to be "saved"?......

But if I would guess something about the future.... I think they will start testing to broaded their concept a bit. Add one more girlgroup maybe that don't have the typical 2NE1/BP/BM concept but something different in concept and music style.

An other possiblity is also that they will buy an other smaller company to add more groups of different styles. Or someone will buy them, but I doubt that right now.

YG is finished 🤞

I absolutely love Blackpink , I love the girls from the group Babymonster , but damn, my whole heart still belongs to 2ne1 . Im betting on them because they are practically one of the very first girl groups that blew up K-pop girl groups in the distant past with their uniqueness. To be honest, im very interested in watching how three big monsters (in the good sense of the word!) in the person of these grandiose girl groups will exist under one roof in the company

BLACKPINK >>>>>> YG

Quote from David33

Mate, stop it before I embarrass you again. Jisoo sold like 700K only in China. Everyone knows about her mass buying "fans". That's why mass buying is illegal in every country, except in China.

Here you go again spreading lies in akp. First of all, mass buying is ban in China. That became an issue years ago. How ironic you're the one being embarrassed. Second, they have a big fanbase in China. They have equal sales in every category there. Their sales speaks for it. Not just physical but also digital. They're the #1 best selling gg in china both in digital and physical. China loves them. Thirdly, what's the problem with Chinese sales? Are you one of those xenophobic user like minion?? Stop it.

I think it would be a combination of 2NE1 and Blackpink.

If the songs are excellent, it would be a good showcase of talent between all three groups.

Besides great songs being critical, I wonder how well will they plan and roll out the promo for 2NE1 and Blackpink?

2ne1 cuz BP comeback ain't happening any time soon. They have the nostalgia factor on their side and just like SNSD they are going to all out with promotions so yeah they are going to do really well. I will be very surprised if they don't tbh

Blackpink has been YG's only leg to stand on since 2NE1 disbanded and Bigbang activities dried out, but as to whether BP will "save" YG in the future, that would require consistent group activities from them which isn't likely, so where it stands things aren't boding well for YG...

I think 2ne1 is just signed on to do a farewell tour, maybe release 1 song but not an album. i mean us Blackjacks never got closure neither did 2ne1, so yeah i wouldnt put it on 2ne1's shoulders to save YG as you say. They are performing a tour for Blackjacks and thats it. Of course Yg will benefit, but us BJ's will benefit more cause we get to see them one last time.

On paper, it's banned, yes, but just like everything in China, you can find a way to get around it.

Also, just think about this. At least 80% of her sales are from China, so the rest of the world are not that interested in her.

If we exclude China, her sales are around 300-500K overall. That's not bad, but compared to how hyped BP is, it's not good.

Like she said: Not bad, but not good. 😂

Every country including Korean & Japanese fans bulk buy. Otherwise, how the fans got themselves into fansign and lucky draw events. China is always singled out becauze there is a more concerted effort on their end. They are very organised in pooling funds and support their artists. Unlike KR and JP fans that work in silo. But again, those are still bull buying

Remove all streams from SEA countries and see how many streams your faves will get is the same logic you're using

Their born pink album already proved they're not reliant on their chinese fandoms
