If you want to become a popular idol, one thing should you consider is a great agency who can showcase your talents to the whole world.  That's what siblings Akdong Musician did when they decided to be part of YG Entertainment.

According to the rules of 'K-Pop Star Season 2,' the reality singing competition show where the world was first introduced to Akdong Musician, the winners had the opportunity to pick from the top three labels in Korea to have their debut.  Last year, after winning, the sibling pair had to choose from SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, or JYP Entertainment.

 When the siblings got interviewed by TV Report, they shared, "First off, we made our decision without any other motives. We reflected back on the entire audition process. YG gave us the most freedom. He heard us out as artists and allowed us to experience for ourselves what that would look like." 

They also shared their opinions about SM and JYP Entertainment saying, "Both companies taught us well. But YG didn't try to teach us anything. Instead they told us, 'You guys decide for yourselves, do something that's fun for you.' We liked that about them. They didn't make us do any training. We used to listen to Epik High songs since way back, but when we met them it was comfortable and really fun. We liked that kind of environment." 

The siblings also revealed that they had no idea about the big three agencies and even the CEO Yang Hyun Suk. As Mongolian missionary kids, it was very difficult for them to be familiarized with K-pop trends in their native South Korea.

They also admitted, "Before appearing on 'K-Pop Star,' we didn't know anything about SM, YG, or JYP. We looked them up and studied hard before meeting the judges. We were shocked to learn that Yang Hyun Suk was such a noteworthy person in the business. We only knew that he had been a part of Seo Taiji and sang, 'I Know.' We even saw his dance practice clip.It was amazing," 

They even shared their relationship with CEO Yang Hyun Suk after deciding to sign the contract to join the YG Family, "At first, we were really nervous.  We had heard that [Yang Hyun Suk] was a scary person. We naturally assumed that he would be that way. But when we met him as our CEO and not as a judge, he was even more candid in how he treated us. He took care of us as though he was our own dad. When we had our meals, he would even set out the side dishes for us so we would eat comfortably. The people around us were also very surprised (laughs)." 

YG Entertainment is the home of popular boy group Big Bang and girl group 2NE1 as well as Epik High and Lee Hi, so being one of their talents is a great privilege since they also meticulously chose who will be part of their family.

Akdong Musician also shared, "As part of the maknae group, we get along very well with our senior Lee Hi. The company adores all three of us equally. They also allowed us to go to the concert in Japan. Lee Hi thought she was going to always be the youngest one in the company, but instead is now called 'unnie' by Lee Soo Hyun. We're really happy to be able to meet Big Bang, 2NE1 and Epik High. It's fascinating that we're now in the same company as the artists whose songs we listened to and sang along to all the time."

As many other fans look forward for more chart-topping hits from Akdong Musician,it seems YG Entertainment really focuses on what is best for their talents.
