I wrote in my entry previously that YG just might be debuting another group but I didn't think he would really do it. And today, he announced that there'll be a second group hahahahhaa.

Okay. I don't follow any YG groups that closely and I don't get why people are so angry at him/the company all the time. I was just happy with this news, yay more group for everybody! I'm happy that these trainees are given the chance to debut. In the end YG Entertainment is a business with targets to achieve, investors to please, public image to maintain. They'd want success, profit, popularity, right? Looking at how successful other YG groups are, I really don't understand what people are angry about. BP needs more songs and comebacks, I understand. But Winner and Ikon both released multiple albums doing well on the charts and were on a world tour. That's ... good, right?

Adding more groups to the library is inevitable. How else would you grow as an entertainment agency? I should be more cautious in investing in these groups just in case to avoid disappointments in the future though haha.

Unlike what some people are saying, I don't think this is going to be a Japanese group. They showcased 7 Japanese trainees on the show, 6 with longer training period and 1 as a last minute addition (Asahi). Haruto is debuting with Treasure and I really doubt YG will just fill the line-up with the rest of the Japanese Trainees unless he has more of them up his sleeves. Other than Mashiho, the other five weren't very popular or particularly good in anything. They weren't getting a lot of screen time on the show, either except for maybe Yoshinori & Keita. And if it's a Japanese group, wouldn't it be more fitting if they do things on a Japanese platform instead? VLIVE isn't mainstream in Japan, and the show doesn't have a Japanese twitter account or ever tweeted in Japanese.

Secondly, I also don't think YG would wait 2-3 years to actually debut these groups. The groups or at least Treasure meant to be fandom-driven, meaning the agency will hand feed them everything. YG isn't looking for the next GD anymore, it doesn't seem like he's expecting these kids to compose their own hit songs and make an album on their own. They'll be given pop songs like Going Crazy and charm the public with their smiles. They already have at least one song, they can debut immediately! Maybe YG is trying a new strategy!

Anyway, they'll reveal one member every day starting from tomorrow to February 4th and I'm nothing but excited.
