So what significance has the launching of label YGEX, held on July 21, have for them? And what thoughts does Se7en have on advancing into Japan a second time? He is the one who made it known that YG has entered its prime and advanced into Japan before Big Bang did. Below are remarks from YG’s artists Big Bang, Se7en, 2NE1 and Gummy at the launching ceremony for YGEX.
Q: And what do you think is YG’s unique style?
T.O.P: Whether it comes to music or style, we try to do things that are ahead one step of what others do. Mr. Yang Hyun-suk thinks about this too a lot as well. I think it’s important that our music is one step ahead of others’ yet stays faithful to the fact that our music is different from music that others do.
GD: I’d like Big Bang or YG Family’s music to become acknowledge for our music rather than create a Hallyu boom. I think trying to get more and more Japanese people like our music, even if we started underground, would be good too. Whether it’s Big Bang or YG’s music, we want to be confident about them and gain a lot of experience.
Q : You’ll be competing with J-pop musicians once you advance into the Japanese market. Are there any artists you consider competition?
Se7en: Seungri has that all figured out. (laugh)
Seungri: That’s my field of expertise. (laugh) I actually don’t think any artist overlaps with Big Bang in terms of style. And people already in the Japanese market have embraced us as well, saying that they haven’t seen a group with our style. So I’m hoping that’ll help with our activities in Japan.
Q : Big Bang, do you have plans to promote yourselves in Japan as solo artists as well?Seungri: We’re all working on our solo albums in Korea right now so I’m thinking that us pursuing solo activities in Japan may become a possibility within this year. And the members of our group can also act and appear on entertainment shows so I’m thinking that we’ll be able to pursue a wider range of activities.
Q : Are there no detailed plans regarding your group or solo careers?

Q : Are there no detailed plans regarding your group or solo careers?
GD: We haven’t set a date yet. Everybody is focusing on the level of completion of their songs so whoever has a better product will come out first.
Q : Do you have plans to form a new unit?
Q : Do you have plans to form a new unit?
T.O.P: We haven’t decided on anything yet. But that’s a possibility that could come about whenever.
Taeyang: If we make music that we agree on after talking about music, we just naturally come to make music together.
Seungri: I recently asked Taeyang to work with me but he left the room. That made me very sad. (laugh)
Taeyang: I never left the room. (laugh)
Q : But Taeyang’s solo album or GD&T.O.P and Big Bang’s mini albums have gotten response in the North America region without any promotion. Don’t you want to advance into the U.S. market as well?

T.O.P: I think that for now, it’s more important that we make people want to look for us than us setting up detailed plans for our activities there. I think it’s important that we make them be interested in us by making them want to watch more of the music videos YG makes.
Q : Taeyang, you recently worked with famed U.S. producer The Underdogs. Do you not have plans to expand your career into the U.S.?
Q : Taeyang, you recently worked with famed U.S. producer The Underdogs. Do you not have plans to expand your career into the U.S.?
Taeyang: Working with The Underdogs was a great experience. But we worked together because we agreed with each other on the music we want to do rather than it being for my U.S. debut. I may once I’m fully prepared but it’s hard for me to say, as of now, whether that’ll happen.
Q : Is there anything you’d like to say to Daesung who isn’t here today?
Q : Is there anything you’d like to say to Daesung who isn’t here today?
GD: We wanted to be able to come here together so we’re sorry to see that it couldn’t happen. And we’re a team so I think we root for him with our heart and gaze rather than words. We’re always worrying about him and he’s always worried about us so I’m definitely hoping that we’ll be able to pursue our activities together someday.
