Amoung the 3 major Korean music agencies, YG Entertainment has been receiving a lot of attention from famous producers in the States since their music is centered around hip hop. The current musicians who are currently sending their calls over to YG Entertainment are Will.I.Am, Jeremy Scott, and Diplo. Many agencies and producers are waiting for YG artists such as 2ne1 and Big Bang to debut in the states.

Due to much support, YG Entertainment are speeding up their pace in order to advance in the international market. Big Bang and 2ne1 announced that they will be first focusing in Japanese market while CEO Yang Hyun Suk is discussing with the representatives in the US.

2ne1 has just finished finalizing their first official album in the states and Big Bang will be be doing the same once they released their new album in February.

American musicians are reacting so intensely to YG Entertainment’s music because YG has consistently been releasing Big Bang and 2NE1 to the public all over the world, by uploading songs and music videos through YouTube and iTunes.

Taeyang and TOP’s album were able to reach number one spot in the hip hop category after it was released in Itunes. 2ne1’s Music videos in youtube were also able to get millions of views. Big Bang’s first sub-unit, GD&TOP, also received praise from the internationally famous DJ and music producer, Diplo (Thomas Wesley Pentz).
