Any fan of k-pop music is no stranger to big name labels like SM Entertainment and JYP. But out of all these companies, the most unique and unconventional group is arguably YG Entertainment. What with all these big name comebacks popping out of the blue, here's a little recap of what's in store. We kicked off the new year with Big Bang member Daesung releasing his cute and bubbly solo single Cotton Candy. Soon after, girl group 2NE1 also released a single titled Try To Follow Me. After a 2 year long hiatus, YG's killer R&B vocalist Gummy released her Loveless album. YG has always been a bit unorthodox and big daddy Yang Hyun Suk is known for slapping fans in the face with a surprise. Within the past two days, a lot of heavy news has hit the k-pop scene regarding the YG family members. First off, a promotional poster and music video teaser was released out of the blue regarding T.O.P's solo single Turn It Up. Many fans were surprised and busy pissing their undies after watching this 27 second trailer. We thought that was it but YG is the gift that just keeps on giving. Not too long ago, it was revealed that Taeyang would finally be releasing his first full length album titled SOLAR. With a whopping tracklist of 13, it looks like Taeyang will be heating up the summer. Starting from June 25th, for six days, a minute sample will be released of a new track everyday as it leads up to his July 1st album release. Last but not definitely not least, we have one of k-pop's original megastars Se7en. When k-pop began picking up momentum a few years ago, this man was one of the few who pioneered in a global audience. Anyone who loves k-pop has probably heard his breakout song Passion. And if you haven't...go listen to it and familiarize yourself with Se7en because his June comeback has been pushed back but is now set to make his 3 year long return on July 21st. We also have 2NE1 and Big Bang set to make a comeback with mini-albums. While it's been confirmed that the boys will be closing the summer out with a bang at the end of August, there has been no further details about 2NE1's summer bonanza. But knowing YG, a sneak attack of info is probably just around the corner.
