Netizens are condemning YG's style of management after Jang Hanna, a former trainee, revealed she would make her debut on May 1st.
After being featured on the famous 2014 reality series, the longtime "K-Pop Star 3" participant has been scouted by YG. However, Jang Hanna has been unable to launch with YG and is having her debut six years after her first and only TV appearance. This leads netizens to condemn the failure of the company to handle its trainees and artists.
Below are the comments of the people on social media regarding this news:
"Wow, Yang Hyun Suk, this is just too much. You made her sign up with YG Entertainment then neglected her, just wow."
"There are so many underrated, unappreciated, and treasured artists or musicians besides Hannah and are all still stuck up and/or locked up because of their contracts."
"Really? How many years did she rot under YG Entertainment."
"Katie Kim had also rot herself for a few years before departing YG Entertainment."
"YG Entertainment! Really? Now that you are out, you should party and celebrate!!!"
"When I heard Jinusean on her feature, I found myself wondering who she was. Aside from looking super youthful, her voice astounded me. Looks like up to now, she's been left to rot. Ugh, YG. They're not going to get this until they go bankrupt."
YG Entertainment has always been a constant focus of condemnation for not debuting competent trainees that the agency recruited.
The singer is about to release her debut track "Runnaway" on May 1st, KST, based on the most recent press reports. Jang Hanna had composed both the lyrics and the music for the said track.
She even collaborated with the production staff The Proof, who had also been working with Hui for both iKON and PENTAGON. An electronic pop song with hip-hop and R&B riffs, "Runnaway" will surely be a hit!
However, in 2017, This aspiring YG Entertainment trainee has been widely rumored for leaving the company after launching her own Instagram profile. Nevertheless, assertions have emerged that she may have departed the company after followers found her personal profile on Instagram.
Since then, there has been no clear and consistent evidence to support the theorized resignation of Hanna, but it is known that YG Entertainment trainees are not allowed to open personal social networking profiles.
Although the images did not actually show any indication of her resignation, some actually think that perhaps the caption "Looking for happiness" on her previous upload is a subtle reference to it.
Hanna has always been a YG Entertainment trainee for the past three years and was also included on Jinusean's album as a vocalist, "Tell Me One More Time."
Once it had been reported that she would probably join the BLACKPINK members in their debut in 2016, but it was confirmed that instead, she was gearing up to be a solo artist.
