Can you remember when people used to call YG "Papa YG"
-

It was never an "oppa" kind of thing. It was just to acknowledge him as the founding father of YG Entertainment and as one of the members of Seo Taiji and Boys. It was also to distinguish between YG the person and YG the company.
Papa as in OG, not "oppa"
Well, at least that was how I viewed it at the time, but I was probably naive. I didn't know there was a cringy and deliberate effort to portray him as a fatherly, lovable man.

i’d add to that the fact that around this era, a lot of yg idols usually appeared in variety shows and told funny and/or personal stories of yg, no doubt as a pr move approved by yg himself, and altogether it painted a picture of yg as this goofy but lovable “father figure” looking after idols in his company as if they were his own kids, and a lot of yg stans ate up the image and started calling yg “papa yg” bc the idols they like appeared to think of yg as their “papa” too. It was all a big and very obvious pr propaganda for yg’s brand that was as manufactured as the idol industry itself, but it did work for awhile, until it didn’t anymore
JYP is still doing this.
And he's totally got me fooled!!!

I'm so thankful that I never did
