As evidence by how the YG company handles their artists, it's very rare that they ever appear on variety shows where they are allowed to interact with other artists. Unlike SME and JYP, the group of media companies that join YGE at the top, YG tends to keep to themselves. They are like the quiet student in class who only speaks when spoken to. There are certain exceptions to this.

There were certain times when 2NE1's Sandara's fantastic sense of humor graced Strong Heart, and there were also Family Outing episodes that included TOP and Daesung from Big Bang. Although the fact that these events are easily enumerated might be a sign that YG is not doing enough to showcase their talent as likeable, marketable people.

Artists from SME are often seen in many programs and reality TV shows. And this is true for other artists as well. But now, since this is coming to their attention, YG is going to roll with the punches by providing not only talent, but artists who can seem more approachable since these variety shows tend to show another side of the idols. "We will be having some in-depth discussion with our artists about appearing on variety shows, which is something we were holding back until now." Said Yang Hyun Suk.
