It seems that YG really has to make a big difference in 2020. Just after announcing that BIGBANG will land at the Coachella Music Festival in April, YG's TREE, which had high hopes for Yang Hyun-suk, finally announced its debut. YG officials also officially confirmed the news on January 6. At this point, Fang Yitan, who has been pinned high hopes by many fans, is finally going to debut successfully!
But some changes have taken place in the final debut team of TREASURE. Since Ha Runbin's contract expired on December 31, 2019 and did not complete the renewal of the contract with the company, TREASURE will eventually meet with the fans in the form of 12 people. He Runbin, who left YG, will focus on his solo stage in the future. YG officials also hope that He Runbin can have a better future in other companies.
In addition, considering that many members of the team have excellent lyrics and composition skills, YG will focus on developing TREASURE's own music production capabilities, and hopes to show the purest musical works to the majority of fans. In the past six months or so, many of the works of TREASURE members have been highly recognized by the YG composing team.
When the talent show "Jewel Box" was conducted that year, Yang Xianshuo had planned to select the sevensome TREASURE and the six-person group MAGNAUM respectively, but after considering many comprehensive factors, he decided to launch the market with THE COMPLETE BODY OF TREASURE13. Unfortunately, there have been too many industry scandals in YG in 2019, which has led to the debut of TREASURE13 becoming far away.
Starting from January 2020, TREASURE will carry out a variety of performing arts activities in different forms. Therefore, YG also hopes that fans can expect more follow-up reports about TREASURE. In the early days of its debut, TREASURE's activity center will definitely be mainly in Korea. However, considering that the team has many Japanese members, the scope of TREASURE's activities in the future will not be limited to one region.
Less than a week into the start of 2020, YG is the most active performing arts company among many local Korean performing arts companies. BIGBANG, BLACKPINK, iKON, TREASURE have announced that they will release new albums in the first half of this year. Not to mention whether it can reach the previous peak, at least for fans who like YG, this is definitely good news. So will you continue to support this rookie boy band under YG?
