A JYP Entertainment Employee Dishes At YG Entertainment, Sparks Netizen Criticism

Jung Jong Won, who appeared on the intern recruitment show Super Intern and “won” his employment at JYP Entertainment, recently posted heavy criticism on his Instagram account, comparing YG Entertainment‘s boy group BIGBANG to JYPE’s first generation group g.o.d.

Jung Jong Won wrote,

“[BIGBANG will never be g.o.d]

An organization built on unstable foundation… What could better describe YG Entertainment? The company creed, the leader’s mindset, the artists’ attitudes, the fake promotions – none of them are correct or stable. Seungri’s scandal is only on the surface, what’s visible on the outside. The fancy castle built on a pile of sand always looks at risk.

Both groups released songs titled “Lies”, but BIGBANG will never be g.o.d. They shouldn’t ever be. The title “Nation’s Boy Group” is too precious and good to be given to a group like BIGBANG.

The article “BLACKPINK Is The First K-Pop Group To Hit 700M Views On YouTube!” that I read today is more meaningless than ever. How long is this company going to focus only on making its castle look good from the outside? I feel sorry for YG Entertainment, because it’s bound to come crashing down at a single wave.”

The post received mixed reviews from netizens, with some agreeing to Jung Jong Won’s statements while many others backlashed at him for being out of line.

While the post has since been deleted, a former YG director captured the post in question and shared on his Instagram story, “I don’t think you should be writing things like this.”

Netizens found the former YG director’s involvement in the issue ridiculous and commented he should not have reacted or said anything.

“A director should have better things to do.”
“I don’t think YOU should be writing things like this.”
“Wow this is so sad LOL.”
“This guy is an attention seeker. He was pulling sh*t like this when he was at YG too.”
“Against a completely rookie employee LOL. What a picture.”
“The employee did cross a line, but so did this director for publicly attacking him…”
“What is wrong with the people from YG Entertainment!”
“YG class.”
“Why is he even bothering to get involved, this is so ridiculous…”

Neither have responded since sharing their opinions online, while netizens continue to debate whether their actions were reasonable.
