K-pop Faceoff: SM Entertainment vs. YG Entertainment

Who would you rather be an artist under: SM or YG? For some the answer might be quick, depending on what your style is. If I had to personally choose, it would be, without hesitation, YG Entertainment. To work alongside Teddy, 2NE1, Big Bang would be an honor. But there are others who would prefer the less hip-hop route and be a part of SM which is home to mega artists like SNSD, Super Junior, and DBSK. Let's do a K-pop faceoff and see who you'd rather call home!

YG Entertainment was founded by Yang Hyuk Suk back in the day and first gave birth to the careers of Jinusean and 1TYM. It is considered one of the "big three" in the music industry and continues to be one of the best labels in Korea. Yang Hyuk Suk used to be a former member of Seo Taiji and Boys, so you know he knows what it's like being in a boy group. YG Entertainment shot through the skies when their first solo singer, Se7en found huge success in both Korea and Japan. Their first idol group was Big Bang made up of members G-Dragon, Taeyang, Seungri, Daesung, and T.O.P. These days, Big Bang is the biggest hip-hop group, if not top 3 biggest groups in Asia. Though their first attempt at debuting a girl group failed, YG Ent. got it together and produced 2NE1, who became the first hip-hop girl group who did it all. Oh and did I mention that they're also home to Psy? You know that "Gangnam Style," dude?

I like to describe SM Entertainment as the Disney, pop, fairy record label of Korea. The label is part of the "big three" record companies in Korea and is credited for beginning the Hallyu Wave through Asia and the world. SM is responsible for launching H.O.T, S.E.S, Fly to the Sky, and Shinhwa. They are now home to BoA, DBSK, Super Junior, Girls Generation, SHINee, f(x), EXO, and Ayumi Hamasaki. Their artists are probably the biggest in Asia, and dare I say bigger than YG's artists?

So who would you rather be a part of? SM or YG? Tell us why in the comment section below!
