Former YG Entertainment artist and 1TYM member Baekkyung stated in a recent Instagram update that the group has no intention of appearing on the show 'Sugarman.' The show is a wildly popular one that brings back older, lesser-known artists to perform again. Most recently, the "G-Dragon of the 1990s" Yang Joon Il became a hot topic in Korea after his recent appearance on the program.
He made a statement on his personal Instagram on December 12 with the following message:
"I am enjoying and watching every episode of 'Sugarman'. I was so glad to see my seniors Taesaja and Yang Joon Il through the TV screen. Every season, I get DMs asking me why we aren't appearing on the show. I haven't been able to individually respond to every person. I am uploading this message because I feel that I can't leave this issue unanswered for those who are waiting.
It is a really good program but we have no plans to appear on the show or any other programs. Let's meet online instead~ haha. I am thankful that 1TYM is not yet forgotten. Stay healthy in this cold weather and dust. I also want to state the writer who contacts us every season of the show."
What do you think of this news?
This is sad. 1tym needs to have at least a reunion for the fans and remind the industry what hip hop and rap is really all about.
