[Instiz] Trainee Yang Hongseok has left YG Entertainment?



There's no official word on the matter but there's talk among fans that trainee Yang Hongseok has left YG Entertainment.  His fan site tweeted the following: 
"It's true that Hongseok has left YG.  Please believe and support Hongseok's decision.  'Bomhongsi' will walk together with Hongseok no matter the path he takes.  Please continue to support him so that 2015 will become "Yang" Hongseok's year. Thank you.
(TN: 'Yang' also means sheep in Korean. It's a play on words as 2015 is the year of the Sheep.)

[1] "Woah, is this for real?  Everyone's leaving..."

[2] "Jinhyung left too, right?  Now even Hongseok's gone... I'll support their decision.  Hope everything works out well for them."

[3] "It's sad but it was a realistic decision."

[4] "Hongseok, please make sure to find another place to achieve your dreams."

[5] "I think he made a good choice since he's not that young and you never know when YG will debut another rookie..."

[6] "I hope he signs with another agency and continues to pursue his dream as a singer."

[7] "After I heard news that Jung Jinhyung left, I knew it would just be a matter of time before we heard of Hongseok's departure.  It's sad since I wished they would have been the ones to debut with iKON."

[8] "Is he going to give up being an artist?  Or is he going to sign with another agency?"

[9] "He made a good choice.  I didn't think YG was going to debut him anyway."

[10] "Hurry up and find another agency so we can see you debut soon!"

[1] "Daebak... but I hope he continues on his path as a singer."

[2] "I think it would be better for him to finish off his army service first"

[3] "I didn't pay attention to him on Mix & Match but he's grown on me and the more I got to know him the more I liked his personality.  I wonder what he's doing now..."

[4] "It's too bad since he has the looks that can attract people to become fans... It'd be great if he could debut as a solo."

[5] "I was rooting for him.  It's such a shame he didn't get in.  I'll be waiting for your debut"

How do fansites find these things out? Where do they get their sources? :\\ What if jinhyung/hongseok hasnt left at all?

엿먹어 said...

Some fans asked them but one said theyre not allowed to reveal their source?.. I actually hope it's true bc as much as I'd like him to stay in YG... i don't think he'll debut hongseok or jinhyung any time soon :|

V4I7P8 said...

The question now: Will we get more posts about any iKon member now that Hongseok's technically not under YG anymore?

엿먹어 said...

There's not that much news on them recently though? Is there? Except for Jinhwan/Jimin's dating rumor.

hikari17 said...

It's for the best. It was unrealistic that YG would debut another boy group so soon after iKon and Winner.

inb4 the *blame everything on chanwoo*

CommentS.

lovelylu said...

true jinseok are not from yg anymore

lovelylu said...

LOL

couer said...

Hongseok is getting all the love from knetz. Oh the irony. If he debuted in IKON, he'll probably one of the most popular one in the group. BI and Bobby are getting mixed love hate relationship by knetz now. Pretty sure YG is regretting his decision now LOL

♤ said...

It was a smart decision to leave. With how YG debuted Winner last year & will be debuting iKON (hopefully) this year, I don't think they will have another boy group for years. I hope he finds a good agency & succeed because his singing was really amazing.

merp said...

Oh my god, Hongseok, no ; ; I hope I'll see him shine sometime :c Ah, this is really breaking my heart.

Goinh vacation with his family in taiwan
When I see in m&m he has this cute and kind personality also he is 4D. I bet his family teach him well that's why he also have a chanbyeol aura on him. Just take a look with his background. I heard it's really hard to enter that school

Chunny said...

They ask them. In jinhyeong case they even go to his restaurant and meet his sister too there. That fansite even have some pizza from jinhyeong

gizibae said...

I'm so sad. I was hoping YG would debut Hongseok as a Solo ballad artist. You know, since they don't have any male soloist in YG anymore & S.Korea loves their ballad singers *sigh*

NunmulBaboBB said...

Hahahaha..Thnx for the video. LKS is a legend

myoonsong said...

I mean.. Do people really think that YG held Jinhyung and Hongseok to debut them?
Am I the only one here thinking YG held Jinhyung and Hongseok just to give them lessons and let them go at the end?..

damn said...

And the shitty vocal problem continues....... Good job yg!!!!

Fernanda_YGFamily said...

I wish both of them well, but i think it was premature. The thing about debuting with someone like YGE, is that you get a built-in fandom. YG stans go haaaard. They'll support you through thick and thin. I think they wanted it now, not later. Hopefully they don't regret leaving. I don't think YG was going to put them on a group, but debut them as a duo or trio. There are people training that we don't know about... Maybe they were going to debut together, who knows... People don't usually drop out like that. I think it's possible another agency offered them more than they though they would be getting with YGE. Anyways, i wish you both good luck.

zen said...

Hongseok-ah T T do well, okay?

zen said...

Me too, tbh. Isn't it that's what they said after mix & match ends?

Tru3star said...

lol when has YG or anyone in YG ever cared about what knetz have to say? Some of them are there to hate anyways. I don't think YG regrets it because I think YG wanted Chanwoo in against all odds, I mean the boy got praised for the bare minimum, smh!


What I'm pissed about is the fact that YG never cleared Jinhyungs name and the evil editing. I'm more pissed at how blind the fans were, Jinseok got so much hate that my heart still breaks for them.


I'm happy for them and I hope they're happy and have left all that behind.

Coffee said...

if he really left, hopefully he'll join another company and pursue his dreams there!!

Kidari said...

ok now i am sad and pissed at a lot of people and you know who are !

Kaila said...

......... :(

Sigh. I hope he will still pursue his dreams and be an artist that will be loved by many. I'll still support you. Yg lost a gem. Not one but A LOT.

couer said...

I think he is trying to care more what the knetz think. Look at how he handled Bom's scandal. It was done poorly and still hides her in his dungeon to reflect. If knetz haven't found the truth about Hongseok and how bias mnet was, YG would never ever clarify the issues. He is favoritism fucking sucks.

Ri said...

FUCK ! FUCK NO

Lumiere said...

YG let go of 2 amazing kids and instead we got....sigh

leanonunnie said...

Hahaha I laughed way too hard at this

leanonunnie said...

Ah I hope he find a new agency and makes debut soon. Hongseok don't lose hope!

Tru3star said...

Why do people always say 'YG hides Bom in the dungeon'? what if Bom couldn't deal with the constant hate and decided to stay away for a while. The hate Bom gets didn't start after the scandal, my poor baby has been getting hate since day 1..what if she decided to stay away for a little while and YG didn't push her to go out?


Yes YG is biased as fuck, but at the end of the day, he's running a company, he's going to do whatever it takes to make money, thats how companies work.


BUT I WILL FOREVER BE SALTY AT HOW MIX&MATCH WAS HANDLED!!! He should have done a better job, if not for anything, but for the sake of Jinseok's sanity. Jinhyeong now has that sex offender/bullying rumor following him everywhere, and Hongseok is now known as some drab and lazy fellow. Also, HOW COULD HE HAVE LEFT THE VOTING TO IMMATURE FANS? Couldn't he have brought outsiders to judge? Like JYP, LDH, 2NE1,BB, like he did during WIN? Coz I'm not sure Grey, Tablo, SanE & SimonD knew what they were doing when Chanwoo was chosen over Junhoe lol


Sorry I ranted, I'm still v butthurt! I actually feel bad for Chanwoo, poor kid gets bashed on a daily basis for something he had no control over.

kwangsooyaa said...

I'll be forever supporting hongseok but it would be nice if he's under YG. So sad that YG left him, or may be he want to leave. anyway, its the rational decision after all, i dont see any group gonna debut after winner and ikon. YG got so many ppl with talents and sad part is he missed the chance to use them well. I'll forever be salty about how hongseok got edited.

YG never cleared Jinhyungs name to get Chanwoo in lbr. Jinhyung was musically wise the best fit for the group.. but YG insisted on Chanwoo. Not my problem though.. I'm glad we got Team A to win otherwise these 5 (maybe minus Seungyoon) would have left YG instantly... (more like kicked out but w/e)

Tru3star said...

From the moment I saw the line up and watched the first 2 episodes of WIN i knew team A was going to win, and in a way....I kind of think YG wanted team A to win....I don't know just a feeling.
1) Team A was always portrayed as having a tough time all the time, and it always seemed like no matter how hard they worked, they never seemed to win the judges over, making the fans vote for them aggressively.
2) Team B was always portrayed to a brave face, lol even their song winin was about how they always WIN, I remember people calling them cocky and what not.
2) Team A had famous people in their groups i.e Seungyoon, Mino Seunghoon...whom already had huge fanbases. Even CL asked if it would be a disadvantage for teamB..only B.I was known but he was a child star. (In a way I think thats why YG tried his hardest to overhype B.I lol)


While it did seem like YG favored teamB, I feel like that was all part of the plan...to make people vote for Team A, so its not the same as mix&match, he literally used two amazing people as pawns so that team b would have a 'visual'. IMHO, Junhoe is more than enough visual. lol


p.s There is no way in hell YG would have let seungyoon and Mino go...like EVER!
