YG Entertainment announced the birth of a new rookie boy group.
YG Entertainment (hereinafter YG) posted 'BABYMONSTER, TREASURE, AND UPCOMING ROOKIES | YG ANNOUNCEMENT' on its official blog on the 30th. In particular, in this video, Yang Hyun-suk, the chief producer, gave a direct interview and specifically revealed YG's large-scale projects that will continue from the second half of this year, drawing attention.
The most eye-catching part is undoubtedly the launch of a new boy group. Chief Yang Hyun-suk surprised the audience by announcing, "We plan to launch YG's new male group this fall and plan to introduce them in September. The number of members is five."
This will be YG's first boy group since TREASURE about six years ago, and by forming an elite five-member lineup, it heralds the birth of a "perfected group" that maximizes each member's skills and individuality, already raising expectations among fans around the world to a peak.
YG's aggressive moves do not end here. Chief Yang said he would sequentially unveil new IP and rookies, and hinted that the much-talked-about next girl group 'Next Monster (tentative name)' will appear soon. Following BABYMONSTER, this officially confirms that a powerful rookie lineup that will carry YG's future will be built.
This year is expected to be hotter for YG than ever. In addition to new album releases and global activities by BABYMONSTER and TREASURE, above all, the news that the "legend" Big Bang will hold a world tour to mark its 20th anniversary is shaking the music industry once again.
Thus, 2026 appears likely to be a "major turning point for YG" in which the next-generation leads will emerge in large numbers alongside the continued activities of existing artists. Under the leadership of chief Yang Hyun-suk, attention is focused on what kind of ripple YG's new blueprint will make in the global music market.
