BLACKPINK and Taeyang from BIGBANG have shifted to TheBlackLabel, which is still under YG Entertainment. Although G-Dragon stays with the company, the other two BIGBANG members, Daesung and T.O.P., have left the management.As more and more artists depart the company, which is one of the big four entertainment companies in the K-pop industry, fans are concerned about what the real reason behind the decrease in their artist crowd might be. Many fans also believe that it's right for the artists to leave the company if they think that they aren't really benefitting from the management or if the company is too restrictive of their activities.7Maria Edwards@7mariaEdwards@Koreaboo WOW everybody leaving industries moving to another or doing their own, all through this year 2022,making a brand new 2023,and a new image for themselves.
