Who is there to take YG's place in case the rumors get confirmed and he's prosecuted (1 Viewer)

[Myco]

Just wondering, I know his brother takes like half of the spot with leading the Entertainment but is there anyone else that can take YG's place?

 

[Evergreen]

If the accusations lead to something maybe but if I am not wrong his brother and him are still YG majority shareholders. Getting ride of him is not that easy.

Honestly nothing will happen, same thing with Seungri. But if it were to happen I honestly don't think anyone would be stupid enough to take over a company with so many scandals

 

[Abeamus]

If it's just Hyunsuk then Minsuk will probably just have to give his roles out amongst other people or if both are removed then the board would have to elect someone to take their place, my guess would be Teddy since he has The Black Label already.

tbh if both yg and his brother step down then I think that we could get someone new, maybe someone who worked in the company before. many people thought that Seungri was going to be the one who takes over yg but.... well as all know that didn't work out and hes the reason why yg is in this spot in the first place...
so honestly, I dont rlly know who would take over yg. many people have suggested that gdragon would take the place as ceo but I feel like hes way more focused on being an artist and not a businessman.

seungri....oh wait

I don't think there is any public figure associated with YG that could take the company if both him and his brother went down. I mean II guess it could be someone like Teddy, but Teddy doesn't seem like interested of whole company and has his own sublabel already. But they probably could bring someone in the board.

Not likely to happen, but even if by some sort of insane change in the cosmos YG himself steps down as main figure of the company, his brother is likely to take over a similar position, if not as the main visual figure as YG has been but more as a simple CEO/main shareholder or it will be the type of figure that is backed by another large conglomerate outside of YG Ent itself (similar to Fantagio being taken over by a Chinese company that has essentially FUBAR'd the company).

The fact that so many people are already leaving the company currently and so many more are against it given the stigma it has had for a long time, especially with the newer incidents, rumors, accusations both of artist and YG alike (and even some direct company issues as well, like use of funds via company for illegal activities etc), it will be interesting to see just how long the company can stay afloat.

I have a feeling nothing too grand will happen - people will disassociate the acts they like (BlackPink, Lee Hi, IKON etc) from the company, as they should since acts are not directly their funding company, and the world will go on. It's curious to see, though, once contracts come up....who might stay and who might go, especially soloists and acts not associated with YG-built groups.

If we want things to continue the way they are: a rock
If we want things to be better: literally anyone with two brain cells
Not like YGE was running a tight ship lbr

genius

If a foreign investor buys them out they still need a Korean figurehead. The way things are going they're going to owe LVMH a lot of money in October. Imo a lot of companies are dirty. If someone wants to mastermind the buyout of a company at a discount, stock price manipulation is one of the ways to go about doing it.

let Psy be the in charge of YG. He always did a good job with promoting himself and would do a better job

Tbh, that would be end of most YG groups. YG has so different approach than SM so it wouldn't work, they don't appreciate same things in artists.
