YG "went all-in" with TREASURE to forget BABYMONSTER, BLACKPINK shared the same fate?

Recently, YG Entertainment has just shared about the upcoming activity plans of the artists under the company, including BLACKPINK and BABYMONSTER, making people wave.

Accordingly, on December 2, YG posted a video featuring Yang Hyun Suk titled " TREASURE NEWS And YG 2025 PLAN". In the video, the founder of the group discussed the future plans and activities of the idols under his leadership.

In the first 2 minutes of the video, Yang Hyun Suk discussed the future of TREASURE, including a world tour, new music, and changes in the management. He said that from January 1, 2025, the group will change its leader, from Hyunsuk and Jihoon to Asahi and Junkyu.

The decision follows an internal proposal to implement a rotating leadership system, which changes every 2 to 3 years. Yang Hyun Suk emphasized the challenges and responsibilities of leading a 10-member group, and highlighted the importance of the new system.

TREASURE's upcoming single, "Last Night", will be released on December 5. In February 2025, the group officially returned with a mini-album and then held a special fan gathering in March. In July - August, the boys will release a full album. And around October, they will launch a world tour.

In the next 20 seconds, many other artists' plans are mentioned. Specifically, BABYMONSTER and AKMU are mentioned as having "a lot of activities", while WINNER is said to be starting the tour next year. Not only that, YG's "golden egg-laying chicken" BLACKPINK was also announced to release a new product and start a world tour in 2025.

Many people noticed that the basic information was the same as the previous announcements. Not to mention, the 4 girls who once shared that they are putting all their efforts into implementing individual projects in 2024, so that in 2025 they will have time to focus on group activities.

Notably, also in this announcement, Yang Hyun Suk also said that there are many trainees waiting to be launched and 2025 will be an important year for the company. However, YG's statement immediately received a lot of criticism from the online community.

The reason is that no specific details were given about any artists, other than TREASURE. Besides, Kpop fans in general also feel both happy and worried when they see YG's announcement. Because this "big man" does not always carry out the plan as said.

Fans are afraid that YG's launch of a new boy group will be negligent with promoting TREASURE and BABYMONSTER. Especially when "BLACKPINK's sister" has just re-debuted, maintaining the heat thanks to the hard fan file, the music has not yet spread to non-fans, and the recognition with the public is still low.

- Baemon (BABYMONSTER), give us even more good songs. It's not a joke, it's something even better... You have talent, but the song is not enough;

- Will WINNER go on tour? Without releasing a full album? Please, release the full album before you go;

- Don't believe it even if YG says, "Coming soon." Don't believe it. Everyone knows it's a company obsessed with creating hype;

- Seriously, YG needs to change the leader of the company;

- Why did WINNER renew the contract? Two of them can produce, but they're in a company where they only release one new song a year. Other artists release songs even during military breaks;

- Is this some kind of neighborhood convenience store quarterly plan? There is no proper plan, but you are talking about the 2025 roadmap going nowhere... are some of Knet's comments.
