the kpop spotlight for 2023 will surely goes to the yg new girl group because afaik all big companies debuted their girl groups last and this year. there’s no competition for yg’s new group this year and its really a good strategy for the both of them.
YG staff posted this:
Translation: "YG is debuting their new girl group!! Working at YG i've always looked forward to these girl's debut!! Their skills are monstrous!! please show them lots of interest(love)"
AKMU and WINNER have already renewed with YG until at least 2026.
TREASURE is literally new they’re not going anywhere.
GDRAGON still in discussion.
