Taeyang Wins Inkigayo Over T.O.P. During 2NE1 Comeback Stage: Will YG Family Compete Against Each Other?
As Taeyang undergoes his promotional activities for "Ringa Linga," 2NE1 is having their comeback with "Missing You," and both YG acts might have heavy competition-with each other.
Recently in Inkigayo, 2NE1 performed their comeback stage after the 2013 MAMA Awards with "Missing You."
"We've come back with 'Missing You!'" says Bom during the MC segment before the Inkigayo comeback.
"You've missed 2NE1 right? We've missed you," adds Dara.
Check their heartbreaking performance of "Missing You."
On the same day at Inkigayo, Taeyang won the mutizen award for his efforts with "Ringa Linga."
"Please give me more love. Please give 2NE1 more love too," says Taeyang during the winning speech according to YGLadies.
But despite the camaraderie amongst the YG Family, this points out the fact that Taeyang and 2NE1 will be promoting at the same time on various music shows, and thus competing for the same spots.
In addition, T.O.P. is also currently ranking on various music charts with his comeback single, "Doom Dada."
A prime example of several YG artists competing against each other can be seen during Inkigayo, where T.O.P. and Taeyang battled it out for the award that ultimately went to Taeyang. And next week, 2NE1 will join the fray.
In general, it is uncommon for the same label to promote multiple artists at the same time for this very reason. But with Taeyang, 2NE1, and T.O.P. competing against each other with their singles, is this cause for concern?
Certain fans online certainly think so.

What do you think? Is YG promoting several artists at the same time a good or bad thing? Who do you think will win next week, Taeyang, T.O.P., or 2NE1?
