No wonder JYP and SM never make an enormous pure profit. JYP spends so much money on makeup for his artists and SM plastic surgery. Plus no add in his own clothing line and make up company. There will be so much Synergy YG's debts wil falll. That man is such a business genius.
(By the way fun fact if it wasn't for YG, Company concerts would not exist as he created the first back in 2003. SM later started SMTOWN back in 2008)
