Because Sony ATV released such rash public statements, YG and G-Dragon had to receive more sarcastic remarks
and offensive responses, but we decided not to release our statement towards Sony ATV through the media. It is
because we respected your company, NOT because we did not have anything to say. The first and last proposal
from YG to Sony ATV, is that please deliver us the opinions from the original composers to YG, and stop releasing
unconfirmed statement to the media before anything finalizes. If the 4 songs you warned YG are proved to be
innocent in the near-future, you should be prepared to see YG's reaction.
Where does YG stand in this plarigiarism issue?
- In my opinion, all the arguments and discussions could be seen different depending on the views and the viewers.
So, I cannot explain my personal opinion of whether it was influenced by other songs or not.
However, in the centre of attention, there is "Heartbreaker". This issue emerged above the surface because it had
similar rap-flow as Flo Rida's Right Round. Right Round is an extremely famous song even in Korea, and recently
another Korean artist has sung it with translation, and appeared on the media. It is impossible that the composers
at YG and G-Dragon tried to go around their way to plagiarize. It is impossible, because with the internet and all,
everything gets revealed quickly.
Many expressed their concerns, "Why did G-Dragon do this? For the rappers who write and rap, it shouldn't be hard
to fix a few verses and re-recording", and "How come did Yang Hyun-Seok, Teddy, Perry and Kush never mention
that to G-Dragon?" It isn't because we were trying to fool the public, but the other way around. I did not expect
such a stir among the public, and I think I should be 100 folds more responsible than G-Dragon as the executive
producer. I am truly sorry to G-Dragon and his fans who are burdened alone.
Any more wrongs from the media and misunderstandings?
- YG never released a statement that "Heartbreaker is G-Dragon's solo-composed piece. Would the public like this
piece if this was a plarigiarized piece?". This is absurd and truly psychotic. Due to high interest to Big Bang and
2NE1, there are many unsaid things being reported to the media, and rumours are creating more rumours. Because
i do not socialize as much, there are haters and misunderstandings happening frequently.
Recently, KBS Radio boycotted all the YG music from being played on the air, and because 2NE1's manager declined
an interview request, one newspaper continuously pours out articles containing some crap about YG.
Even yesterday, he wrote that "Yang Hyun-seok is loving his artists in the wrong way". For the past three months,
there are over 30 articles he wrote against YG. I think the saying, 'you never get tired' suits him for sure. I think it
is maybe because he has too much love and interest towards YG.
Mere entertainment companies can't fight against media corporations. It is also hard to lobby them to put on
better articles. I try to think to groom myself first instead of talking badly of others these days.
There are opinions which claim that "the issue has elevated because YG has been covering G-Dragon
as a genius composer". What do you think about this?
- The funny thing is, for the past 9 years G-Dragon has resided in YG, never I nor YG called him as a genius
composer. I am known to be cold and objective from my artists. The fans know that I am not that kind of person
complementing the artists often. In opposite, the fans were upset because I talked about G-Dragon's collaboration
process with others.
There are around 60 songs which G-Dragon took part in compositing and writing lyrics. Usually he wrote the lyrics
by himself, but when composing music, he collaborated with many people. The reason is because he has been
really busy to take time arranging the songs. When G-Dragon was 16 years old, I have used my own personal
money to get him some musical gear, and G-Dragon has made many hiphop tracks, but because Big Bang debuted
and had rigorous schedule, it had been stopped. I heard that there are 10 people holding license for "Right Round".
It is such an ordinary way of composing music with others.
A few months ago, it is important to be able to arrange songs you have composed, but it is also important to make
the melodies and lyrics, and designing the structure of the song as a whole. They are important because they
cannot be only learned. You need that sense of gift for that part.
The term 'genius' does not suit the 22-year-old composer, and nor does he want it. The reason why so many
people have their hopes for him, is not because he is a genius, but because he has his unique style and sense
towards music. Extraordinary 13-year-old boy has become the G-Dragon of today, and people see him in the long
run and in his potential from today.
There are sayings that this issue is part of the marketing for YG.
- First of all, YG is not that clever to come up with a marketing plan like this.
Especially for G-Dragon, he was receiving enough attention as the leader of famous idol group in Korea, and for
releasing his ever-first solo album. He is even cutting off the appearance on the stage...
There are also rumours that you are having troubles with one broadcasting company, because your
artists are not appearing on the stage.
- Whenever I hear about these rumours, I feel bad towards the broadcasting company. I think this was derived
because of YG's marketing scheme of appearing only 1 show per week. YG is only concerned about the best
program for its artists, we do not try to make better connection with the broadcasting companies. We are not
ignoring the broadcasting company, nor does the company boycotting the appearance of YG artists. In the eyes of
broadcasting company, there are way too many artists wanting to appear the show. However, 2NE1 and G-Dragon
has not requested to be on the show... It is only fair that they do not need to cast YG artists from their side.
Again, I apologize for any misunderstandings.
Now, the good news:
On the first weekend of December, there will be G-Dragon's solo concert. It will be held in Olympic Gymnastics
Stadium, and there will be two concerts. A detailed notice will be posted up soon, and the ticketing will be done after the Chinese new year.
That's it for now. I will try to come back only with the happy news next time.
