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

I wish I had witnessed that era

Never heard that before.

That was the worst age in K-pop 💀

They were always clown even from back then but given how the last decade has treated yg the clownery just intensifies every day

Eh he was definitely hella handsome when he was young, that alone could warrant a following but he aged like his personality

No I don't remember that. What in the world were you guys doing???

I remember this era... and I wish I didn't witness any of this.

It was the Dark Ages of K-Pop.

Quote from superyeah

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"

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

The BIGBANG/2NE1 era YG stans with their ''Papa YG'' and ''NOT like everyone else '' black sheep mentality

They were even more annoying than SM roaches ffs
