YGE rep confirms new girl group debut plans later this year, but only after BLACKPINK & WINNER's comebacks

AKP STAFF

On February 27, a representative from YG Entertainment responded to various media outlet reports regarding the label's upcoming plans for 2020, including BLACKPINK's comeback, WINNER's military enlistment deadlines, a new girl group in the works, etc. 

The YGE rep told reporters, "It's true that we are planning a new girl group's debut. However, for now, the label is focussed on preparations for BLACKPINK and WINNER's comeback albums. We will notify you with more specific details regarding these album promotion plans at a later time." 

YG Entertainment's first new girl group in approximately 4 years is currently set to debut by the second half of 2020. Meanwhile, the label will also be debuting a new rookie boy group some time this year, TREASURE.

watch YG do the same thing to BlackPink like what they did to 2ne1 once the new girl group debuts.

If YG didn't neglect 2NE1, they would've had two monster girl groups on their hands right now. But they just let go of 2NE1 as if they weren't relevant anymore when, in fact, they were on top of their game. The company knows how to find talent that might have been overlooked by others, debuts all these great groups and music, but can't seem to get the managing part right even after all these years and learn from their mistakes. I just don't understand their mindset.
