American Billboard Says, “CL’s Appearance is Important Moment for Both UMF and Korea’s Music History”
American Billboard shed spotlight on CL’s performance at “Ultra Music Festival” (UMF) and extolled CL by saying “CL’s appearance is an important moment for both UMF and Korea’s music history”.
Billboard explained CL’s performance in detail, saying, “UMF was a mega stage for all musicians and CL’s appearance was the most notable moment in it”.
Billboard explained, “CL first stood on the stage of ‘Dirty Vibe’, a song included in DJ Skrillex’s album ‘Recess’ in 2014. Then, the audience heard the beat of Diddy’s ‘It’s all about the Benjamin’s’, but the rap they heard was not Diddy’s but CL’s in the Korean language”.
Then, Billboard went on to highlight CL’s colorful and powerful performance once again, stating, “CL sang the verse part of her solo track ‘MTBD’ included in 2NE1′s historic album ‘CRUSH’ and presented a perfect Korean rap with the 90′s beat to a large audience. Even Skrillex and Diddy looked at CL and supported her”.
Billboard extolled CL, saying, “This is a very important moment for Korea’s music history. CL has been doing collaboration work with other artists constantly and done her best to prove her musical talent. If she can maintain her natural power in cooperation with Scooter Braun who is helping her debut in the States, she will be part of the American pop music market naturally.”
NOW WOULD AMERICAN BILLBOARD LIE!!!

Quote:
It’s the golden days of YANG HYUN SUK.
These days, the success stories of Mr. Yang, the main producer of YG ENTERTAINMENT, are a buzzword in the entertainment industry. For years, he has been considered a successful producer, who has helped BIGBANG, 2NE1, WINNER, AKDONG MUSICIAN and other YG artists establish themselves as top-notch musicians. And now, he has become an envy of many, as YG has managed to expand into other industries, not just confined to entertainment business.
Some even say that Yang never fails. At the initial stage, YG investors were suspicious about YG pursuing other industries, but they are exhibiting great confidence in the company’s aggressive expansion strategy these days. This article looks at Mr. Yang’s success stories and plans for this year, who is now writing new chapters in the history of Korea’s entertainment business.
Kim, Hyo-joo, a Korean professional golfer nicknamed “Super Rookie,” won the JTBC Founder’s Cup on Mar. 23rd held in Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona. Kim’s victory was even more remarkable because it was her first win on the LPGA tour and she won the championship right after she decided to work with Mr. Yang.
On the 2nd of last month, YG took over Kim’s management company, announcing that it would enter golf business. And only about 20 days after that news broke, Kim won the championship.
This is just the beginning of a series of Mr. Yang’s latest success stories.
CHA SEUNG WON, an actor, signed a contract with YG in Jan. last year. But Cha was embroiled in a paternity suit and the movie “Man on High Heels,” where he starred, did poorly at the box office, raising concerns whether he was falling into a slump. But those concerns have dissipated immediately as he appeared in tvN’s show “Three Meals a Day.”
CHOI JI WOO, an actress who has been popular in many Asian countries, is doing very well these days after signing with YG in Feb. last year. For years, she has had an image of being difficult to approach. But after working with YG, she has appeared in many entertainment programs, including “Grandpas over Flowers,” and has established a more down-to-earth image.
TABLO, who was caught up in a controversy over his academic credentials, is another artist who has regained popularity after joining YG. EPIK HIGH, a group where TABLO is playing a leading role, is considered to have established their presence once again, with their album released last year after signing with YG well received by the public.
All this may have been a coincidence, but they all happened based on the judgment and decisions made by Mr. Yang. Industry insiders are very envious of the series of successes made by Mr. Yang, saying “He seems to have gained momentum toward success.”
