YG and Avex forms YGEX, New Rookie to be Announced This September

I watched the streaming but i really don't know what they're talking about (not to mention my lovely slow connection). But from the first look there are Yang Hyun Suk and another man who look like Sajangnim too was talking. So intially i guess it's about some teamplay going on. And i was right.

Was really excited when they said there going to be a brand new rookie under YGEX. So far YG appa never disappoint me. So let's look forward to it. and i was really touched when our maknae VI stated 'five of us, not only solo'. Below is the cut from official website and interview during the statement.





YGEX, A birth of a record label dedicated exclusively to YG FAMILY! The name is “YGEX”, attributing to the collaboration of YG FAMILY “YG” with AVEX “EX”. “EX” also inspired by words like “EXPERIENCE” and “EXCLUSIVE”, carries connotations of it being the one and only label you can experience YG FAMILY. The collaboration between YG, not bound to just Asia now spreading as a worldwide trend “YG POP”, and AVEX who has always innovated and led the Japanese music scene, is definitely a match up bound to create a new and unpredictable form of entertainment.
