Pann: YG becomes poor

1. [+78, -3] Winner and iKON are doing endless international concerts. Winner has only one comeback a year when they can easily get into top 10. All they do is international tours, variety shows, and events. YG's businesses aren't doing well, Mix9 resulted in a deficit of 10 billion won, and they're building a new expensive building that looks like a broadcast station. Of course their profits will suffer.

2. [+76, -5] I'm an Inner Circle and not a YG fan. YG deserves it. I don't even want to side with YG~ Hope Yang Hyun Suk flops.

3. [+63, -6] Wow, JYP is insane. Their profits increased by 664% ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Twice and GOT7 are daebak.

4. [+27, -1] YG falls easily without Bigbang. It won't be long until fans stop calling them a treasure box and letting it go. They have a lot of artists but don't let them promote at all. They should've focused on other artists before Bigbang's absence. Even their own artists criticize YG, so it's not like the artists are lacking for a comeback.

5. [+16, -1] Bigbang's enlistment seems to be critical to YG.

6. [+13, -0] SM's revenues are insane...

7. [+11, -1] Yet trolls say EXO is flopping

8. [+10, -1] What's interesting is that YG dominated the digital sales this year and JYP and SM fell behind but SM and JYP took all the profits.
