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.
