While viewers everywhere are growing ever-more curious as to what next steps the finalists from 'K-Pop Star' will be taking, YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk cautiously and honestly revealed his personal stance.

On May 17th, Yang Hyun Suk was asked about finalists Lee Ha Yi and Lee Seung Hun's possible recruitment to YG Entertainment. "I cannot give you any answers right now," he answered, displaying his prudent nature. But in the past, YG has displayed a habit of very firmly and clearly denying the rumors that were in fact untrue, and his ambiguous answer suggests that there is a high possibility of Lee Ha Yi and Lee Seung Hun joining his company.

Yang Hyun Suk also carefully added, "I received a lot of calls after an exclusive article was issued with StarNews yesterday (16th). It is true that I spoke with the 'K-Pop Star' representatives at SBS to put in a casting request of the 5 contestants."

Park Ji Min who placed first on 'K-Pop Star' has the elite opportunity of personally choosing to sign with either YG, SM Entertainment, or JYP Entertainment. The other contestants may sign with any company including the Big 3, however, they must go through SBS first.

"SM and JYP who also judged the auditions probably feel the same, but I think it's only right to announce the recruitment of the other contestants only after winner Park Ji Min first joins a company," YG continued. "Taking this into consideration, we will announce which contestants we requested to cast into our companies, only after Park Ji Min makes her final decision. Our announcement will most likely take place next week."

Because YG is known to be cautious and take enough time before making any decision, the fact that he requested to cast the contestants suggests they will most likely be joining YG.

If the 5 'K-Pop Star' contestants sign with YG to become trainees, it will be the first time all the contestants from an audition program will be signing with a single entertainment company.

YG's announcement left viewers more curious to know which stars will join his empire, and what kind of artists they will become after going through YG's rigorous training system.
