The Reason We Look Forward to the Wide Open ‘YG Treasure Box’ [Oh!SSEN LETTER]
[OSEN=선미경 기자] The ‘YG Treasure Box’ is wide open. The expectations on the new faces of YG that will follow the legacy of BIGBANG, WINNER, and iKON are continuing along with heated reactions. The title YG itself looks to be enough to gain the recognition of global fans.
The fans are showing explosive reactions on the teaser releases of YG Entertainment’s new boy group selection survival project, ‘YG Treasure Box’. The accumulated views have reached 170 thousand and 70 thousand views, by being in the center of interest by the global fandom. We selected a couple reasons why the fans look forward to ‘YG Treasure Box’.
# YG’s Name Value
The fact that YG Entertainment is revealing the profiles of all male trainees in the agency is making ‘YG Treasure Box’ receive attention. They are 29 unique and talented trainees that passed representative YANG HYUN SUK’s picky standards. The fact that the viewers will be able to watch so many talented trainees in one program is enough to grab the public’s interest.
As YG Entertainment has created BIGBANG and girl group BLACKPINK, groups that went past the Korean market to capture the hearts of global fandom, the upcoming boy group also seems to be gathering attention from fandom worldwide. The title of YG gives people trust, leading to more attention.
YG Entertainment revealed, “We plan to select talented members with star potential with strict standards, so that they can be a new generation group that represents KPOP”.
# The Junior Group of BIGBANG, WINNER, and iKON
The new boy group that will be given birth through ‘YG Treasure Box’ may be composed of 5 members or more. Representative YANG HYUN SUK will monitor the public’s reactions on the broadcast and apply various selection criteria. The birth of a global boy group with not only talent but also good appearances is already exciting the fans.
The fact that they will be a junior group of BIGBANG, WINNER, and iKON is also gaining attention. As members of BIGBANG, WINNER, and iKON were all selected through YG’s own survival program, the new boy group is expected to receive spotlight through ‘YG Treasure Box’ before they make debut.
On the program ‘YG Treasure Box’, representative YANG HYUN SUK explained, “What YG’s boy groups including BIGBANG, WINNER, and iKON share in common is that they were selected through our own survival program. The program will be a continuation of that”.
# BANG YE DAM
Another point people look forward to in ‘YG Treasure Box’ is BANG YE DAM. BANG YE DAM appeared on the teaser clip for ‘YG Treasure Box’ revealed on the 5th, becoming the center of attention. He won second place on the audition program titled ‘K-Pop Star Season 3’ by SBS and is currently part of group A in ‘YG Treasure Box’.
BANG YE DAM is a trainee who has been receiving support from the fans, wishing for his debut. His capabilities were proven through ‘K-Pop Star Season 3’, and his whereabouts became hot topics whenever they were revealed. His growth as a 17-year old will finally unveil through ‘YG Treasure Box’.
The trainees who are currently being sequentially revealed along with BANG YE DAM are also gaining recognition. KIM HYUN SUK, LEE BYUNG GON, and KIM JUN KYU who previously appeared on JTBC’s ‘MIXNINE’ are also in the center of attention. The upcoming activities of the 29 trainees and group C composed of trainees aged from 14~15 that will carry on YG’s future are already making the fans curious.
‘YG Treasure Box’ will premiere on the 16th.
