At this point I just wish that Kakao would buy YG... and make everyone work.

I don't think Kakao can buy YG. Can they?

if yg wants to sell sure kakao founder is like the riches korean in the country they have the money no problem. i think currently they were trying to get shares for sm

HYBE would make them work for sure

The thing is that yes, BP need more comebacks but too many comebacks are not part of their brand. It’s this exclusivity that is a good marketing concept. Having a lot of comebacks does not suit every band and in the end brand. Once the target group of BP or the YG groups changes, it might be possible.

Example that’s not from K-pop: Before Samsung and other phone brands started to be serious competitors, Apple did not release a product so frequently as they are now. The product cycle was different but due to the change in demand and the competition they were forced to abide to new rules

Not really sure whyd you want kakao in particular, their track record with idols is not that great (IU being like the one exception)

If you mean if they could put up the money for it, Kakao is bigger than sm,jyp,yg,hybe etc combined.

why not hybe?

Quote from bartkun

well I don't want to take anything from BP

but we all need to remember that they've debuted in 2016, and that many fans are openly campaigning that they have high hopes that BP will leave YG

this said with those amazing sales of ladies solo work YG is still making money

also I've had in my mind Treasure which is young, big group, and I loved this cover of Yedam's solo

and if Baemon is really coming this is as well for the future, Kakao would give them ton of content including 1theK originals pre-debut variety shows, and vocal/dance medleys. We already know YG will give us... oh well shit, nothing.

I think that they should definitely put more quality into their releases of BP, like more comebacks or rather more songs. But they should not provide too much content out of nowhere. That’s not their brand. Even if fans are protesting for more content (understandable), they would be confused once BP drops as much as other groups. They should slowly increase it which they are doing since the departure of “papa yg” but very poorly.

The other bands like Treasure though are not really suited for this kind of marketing. Boy groups or groups in general with a lot of member need more comebacks so that they can build up a fanbase that stays loyal for a long time. They already have quite a big following but they definitely need an increase of content.

Baemon is still a big question mark. It depends on their concept.

Overall, YG should support their artists more but they have to stay sometimes in that marketing concept since the target group has gotten accustomed to it. Apple didn’t start to sell their phones more frequently over night, it happened slowly. As long as people are buying the albums, YG won’t sadly change anything. That’s the law of the market. As long as BP is still a good income that gives them their USP and value propositions over their competitors they might not be willing to be acquired by another company. It is all up to the future and what the members will choose to do (contract resignation, contract extensions, etc.)
