YG Entertainment, the entertainment company established by Yang Hyun Suk, of the popular Korean act Seo Tae Ji and Boys, has been at the forefront of the popularization of hip-hop music in Korea. From its inception, YG Entertainment has been the birthplace of some of Korea’s most popular and well-respected artists, from YG’s earlier artists such as JINUSEAN and 1TYM, to the immensely successful current acts, BIGBANG and 2NE1. The company has flourished by creating a family-like atmosphere where ideas on music, fashion, art and culture are exchanged freely between the artists, producers and staff members alike. The YG Family also includes a respected roster of actors and actresses, including actress and director, Ku Hye Sun, best known for the popular TV-drama “Boys Over Flowers” and Jeong Hye Young.
