YG Entertainment

From generasia

YG Entertainment (YG 엔터테인먼트) is a Korean management agency founded by Yang Hyun Suk, former member of the legendary trio Seo Taiji and Boys and is, also, the main producer for most YG artists. YG is the mastermind behind prominent Korean R&B and Hip-Hop artists. YG stands for Yang Goon, aka Yang Hyun Suk. In 2011, YG associated with the Japanese label avex, forming YGEX in order to promote the main YG artists in Japan. In 2015, Epik High's Tablo created the sub-label "High Ground" under YG Entertainment that will cater to all different genres, including underground music. He stated he "chose the name 'High Ground' because the label is not about underground or overground, but about quality music." On June 14, 2019, founder Yang Hyun Suk and his brother and lead director Yang Min Suk both resigned from their positions in the company due to artists' drug allegations and various scandals.

In 1999, YG Entertainment came up with the concept of having different artists come together under the name YG Family.
