Although YG, a South Korean performing arts company, has been controversial since last year, YG's BLACKPINK is indeed one of the top K-POP girl group groups. Because of BLACKPINK, YG only saved a bit of face last year.
However, familiar YG family fans should know that when blackpink was launched, the company actually had many trainees. So what are everyone else doing now except for the four members who have already debuted? Let's take a look!
Kim En-Fei
The one who makes everyone feel the most sorry is Kim Eun Fei. After participating in "Super Star K" that year, she joined YG with WINNER captain Jiang Shengrun and became one of the most watched trainees of the year. Dance, singing strength, and appearance are not short," and she has also been praised by fans as a member of the next-generation YG girl group that can inherit 2NE1.
However, after leaving YG suddenly in 2014, she did not find a small company until last year and sold the source. Unfortunately, after re-entering the music scene, not many people paid attention to her.
Kim You-na
Also as a contestant in the third season of "Super Star K", Yang Hyun-suk predicted that he could become a superstar in the Korean music scene with Kim Youna's talent. However, she returned to the United States after only two years at YG due to academic problems.
Kim, who later completed her studies, joined Hong Zhenying's acting company and made her debut as a member of the girl group THE ARK. Unfortunately, this five-person girl group did not impress everyone, and finally had to be forced to disband.
Instead, she later got the attention again after the third season of Unpretty RapStar, which she herself participated in. Last year, she and Jeon Minzhu formed a duo called KHAN.
Hanna Zhang
She was once designated by Yang Hyun-suk as the next Li Xiayi of YG. After participating in the third season of "K-POP STAR" that year, Hanna Zhang, who was photographed by Yang Hyun-suk, then successfully joined the YG umbrella. Later, she even participated in the "Tell Me Again" by the legendary YG rap group JINUSEAN.
YG clearly wanted to train her to be a solo female singer. Therefore, in 2016, Yang Xianshuo personally said that there will be no Zhang Hanna in the list of YG next-generation girl groups, but she will debut as a solo singer. As a result, after waiting for YG for three years, Hanna Zhang still chose to leave YG. Until now she still hasn't found a new company.
Jinny Park
Fans who paid attention to BLACKPINK in the early days should not be too unfamiliar with Jinny Park, right? When YG launched TLC-F, she was one of the absolute main players in this team. At that time, because she had been a trainee at YG for five years, she almost confirmed a debut place.
Unfortunately, the departure of Kim En-fei later forced YG to reformulate their debut plan. It wasn't until after Produce 48 aired that Jinny Park was seen again. At present, she and Denis Kim, who is also a YG trainee, are doing her best for her debut.
They were all preparatory members of BLACKPINK at that time, and although the number of debuts was finally determined to become four, I still hope that these children can have their own place in the future Korean music scene. Bless them!
