daydreamer's escapism

you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

(ask me.)

  1. YG FAMILYY: Situation going on in the Korean YGE fandoms (VIP, Blackjack, and some Lucky7)

    swaggalevel-1000:

    Okay, where to start… Um.. this is gonna be pretty lengthy and boring to some of you, but I suggest you read it all to understand everything and so that you don’t just pick at what you want to read and start false rumors later on in the future. Please take your time…

    In regards to the latter part of the post. 

    Lol. If you’ve been with YG for a while, you know just how terrible they are at showing attention to more than one (or two) groups at a time. We were always like “Where’s Jinusean? Where’s 1TYM? Where’s Gummy? Where’s Stony Skunk? Where’s Lexy?” It’s not a new situation.

    I kind of find the whole YG’s fan management copying ideas from the VIPs really shady though. >_>

  2. ygfamilyy: Yang Hyun Suk explains how he handles his trainees! YG Entertainment‘s Yang Hyun Suk recently joined SBS‘s ‘Survival Audition K-Pop Star‘, a program that seeks to stand out from all other audition shows by finding and cultivating the next star, and putting them on an elite course to success. A lot of attention is now being focused on the criteria for the program. Yang Hyun Suk recently sat down with OSEN for an interview detailing what he looks for in a trainee. He first revealed that trainees join YG in two different ways: talented individuals will be approached by the company first, while others are chosen out of the hundreds that apply for the company. He began, “YG only had a select few trainees, but we’ve been increasing the number since 2011.  If you look at it one way, we get outstanding talent for free. Even though people know that it’s extremely hard to get into YG, kids from all over the nation will still come and try out on their own. The reason we’re increasing the number of trainees is because I realized that after 2NE1 debuted, we had no trainees left. We have about 40 now, and most of them were people we contacted first because they were famous for their skills. A few of them will definitely go on to become the next Big Bang or 2NE1, albeit they’ll be different in music and style.” And what about Kang Seung Yoon, the contestant from ‘Superstar K2‘ who joined YG? Yang Hyun Suk revealed, “Whether it will take two years or three, it’s anyone’s game. It all depends on his skills.” When asked when he would be making his debut, Yang Hyun Suk replied quickly that he was adamant about not allowing trainees to stand on stage unless they were thoroughly prepared as singers. It’s not just Kang Seung Yoon who had to endure such a harsh training regimen — senior artists like Se7en, Big Bang, 2NE1, and Gummy also had to go through it as well. It’s reality that while some trainees shine like stars, others end up in the dust like a flower that never got the chance to bloom. “My trainees are all children who have talent not made through effort, but through talent they’re born with. To put it simply, only the kids who have it will survive. There are a lot of kids who let their talent rot and fail. Children with natural-born talents can be usually divided into two different types of people. The first are the types that rise to the position of ‘best’ because they continue to still strive to improve their talents. The second are the trainees who don’t practice because they know that they’re good.  Of course, YG doesn’t let lazy prodigies just slide. We either let them die out or try to fix it.  This is where the great system we’re known to have comes from,” he explained. Concluding the interview, he said, “People say that I’m stingy with compliments but I think it’s definite that a YG trainee is talented and good. I have to play the bad guy that criticizes what they lack in the middle.  Teens, however, always want to be praised in their hearts, and since I’m always only criticizing them, it hurts their feelings… If I always praise them and compliment them when they’re in their teens, they have a tendency to just settle for where they’re at.  In the end, they’re going to be using what they learned during their training period for the rest of their lives as singers because there’s no time to practice once you actually debut.  There’s a time and place for practicing.” Source + Photos: OSEN Translated by: AKP *NOTE: 40 trainees is the highest number of trainees in the history of YG Ent.

  6. fuckyeahygfamilyy: Se7en to represent YG Family for a free kpop concert held by KBS in New York? Some of the top Hallyu stars will be coming to New York in October! The free concert from KBS, open to all ages, will be held on October 9th 2011 at Randall’s Island Park in New York and will feature atleast 10 kpop artists, the tentative list includes TVXQ, Wonder Girls, 2PM, B2ST, SHINee, Se7en, Sistar19, Lee Hyori, and 4Minute! (*Note: the lineup may change) The concert will begin at around 7:00PM and is estimated to bring in about 10,000 fans. The concert will promote the globalization of Korean culture through live music and performances in the US, but will also be featured in South Korea through a broadcast by KBS. Source: AKP Crying. I remember the last time Se7en and Hyori came to New York *-*…I actually met Hyori then! She was really really nice…. ….and my 6th grade self was too in awe of her/intimidated by her beauty/kindness/etc. that I couldn’t do anything.  EFFFF YESSSSSS. Okay it’s at times like this that I’m glad I picked my college over Northwestern lol. Imagine all the frustration I would have pent up inside me if I were in Evanston instead of Manhattan…
