KBS needs to get over YG Family not attending their Gayo Daejeon!
A controversy is brewing between KBS and YG Entertainment after the entertainment label declared that they would not be attending KBS’s year-end music festival on December 19th.
The producer of “KBS Music Festival” spoke with TV Daily on December 22nd, and revealed their side of the story:
“We received notice of YG Entertainment’s decision to be absent from our ceremony. Their action is extremely hard for us to understand, as they’ve already attended other music award ceremonies, and even won awards. They also told us that YG and 2NE1’s concept does not fit with our music festival. We honestly have nothing to say if YGE makes a decision like that. We do not want to force pressure on teams that cannot attend, so we will just be going our own reasonable way.”
YGE officials previously brought up the fact that only 2NE1 had made it onto the ‘top 20 nominees’ for the festival, while their labelmates - Se7en and Taeyang - had failed, despite promoting in the same year. As a result, furious questions abounded over KBS’s standards for the nominations.
Regarding this, the producer went on to state, “YG Entertainment refused to attend EVEN WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW THAT 2NE1 was the only group of theirs invited as nominees. We don’t believe that they truly have a problem with Se7en and Taeyang not being included in the nominees. There’s honestly no reason for them to be acting like this.”
“We are making our own effort to make the fairest judgment possible. SM Entertainment’s BoA was not included in the rankings, and they have not expressed a problem with that. It’s pressuring to know that the public is viewing this as a problem between KBS and YG Entertainment; we just hope that it’s an enjoyable festival for all,” the producer concluded.
Nominees are decided by “Music Bank’s K-Chart” and feature winners according to album and digital music sales, along with viewer preference votes.

YG can live without your damn fucking “popularity” award, take it and shove it up your own ass if you feel like it, or better yet, give it to SNSD since you already gave them 29352502 awards, another one wouldn’t hurt.
KBS is also the company who always kiss up to the government by banning every single ridiculous thing that deems “inappropriate” to younger viewers; i.e SeungRi’s “crack crack” sound, FUCK YOU KBS. 2NE1 just got flagged anyway, why would you want them? YOUR FUCK ASS JUST WANT RATINGS. THAT IS IT. SO FUCK OFF THEIR SHIT NIGGUH.
piss me off.
