YG Entertainment’s blunt dating scandal responses are going viral amid HYBE’s Jimin controversy
As HYBE faces intense scrutiny over BTS Jimin’s rumored dating life with actress Song Da Eun, netizens are turning to old YG Entertainment statements for comic relief.
Back in 2015, when news about Taeyang dating actress Min Hyo Rin broke, YG’s official response was shockingly casual:
“We can’t reach him right now… but if it’s true, congratulations.“
Founder Yang Hyun Suk also openly supported the news, saying:
“Taeyang being in a relationship is a good thing.“
This stood out because Taeyang had largely avoided dating rumors before that.
Another infamous YG moment was when edited photos suggested a relationship between 2NE1’s CL and WINNER’s Song Mino. YG dismissed the rumors with:
“So ridiculous that they couldn’t even laugh.“
With HYBE’s unclear approach to Jimin’s rumors, netizens find YG’s blunt honesty refreshing. Old YG quotes are now viral online, showcasing how agencies have drastically differed in handling dating scandals.
Netizens reacted with comments like:
- “He sounds like he’s never dated before, lol.”
- “SM and YG being like lifelong single dudes is hilarious, lolol.”
- “Saying it like he’s been single forever, so it really sounds like he’s genuinely happy for them, which makes it even funnier lol.”
- “Lmaooooooo.”
- “Acting like he’s a lifelong bachelor, ah lol.”
The nostalgia for YG’s straightforward style is taking over the conversation as HYBE monitors the ongoing Jimin situation.
