Akdong Musician met up with Ilgan Sports and discussed how their lives changed since they signed on with YG Entertainment!
They were asked, "You replaced middle and high school with qualification exams. Are you sad that you'll be interacting less with your peers?" Lee Chan Hyuk replied, "That's why I wanted to go to school. Because I wanted to hang out with friends more than study," and laughed. His sister, Lee Soo Hyun, said, "I didn't have the time to make friends because we were going back and forth between Mongolia and Korea during elementary and middle school. Still, I have an oppa who is like a friend, so that's nice and a relief."
They were then asked whether it was difficult to live freely since they entered YG Entertainment. Chan Hyuk stated, "Honestly, I thought, 'If I sign on with YG, I probably won't have much freedom.' However, I felt very free when I actually entered. In addition, they let the artists be very comfortable by having the manager do all the cumbersome work and more."
Soo Hyun said, "Before joining YG, I heard, 'CEO Yang Hyun Suk is very strict on his artists,' but he's just as affectionate as when he was a judge on 'K-Pop Star.' He's like a father."
She then revealed with whom she was close to in the company: "Lee Hi treats me well like a friend. She's the same age as my older brother, but she is close to the both of us like a friend. In the past, Big Bang's G-Dragon talked to us while patting our heads. At that moment, my whole body was rigid. To me, they seem more like big stars rather than an agency family."
Hopefully, the siblings get closer to the other singers so that they feel more comfortable like one large family!
