Whoa, whoa. Slow down there, YG Entertainment!
While we are still in the process of enjoying new music from its new sub-unit group, the talent agency has gotten themselves busy again with a brand new project called “YG Hiphop Project”! What, did you think that they were just going to debut one new unit? Well, think again.
YG Entertainment is apparently planning to debut not one, but TWO new units under their latest project:
The “Who’s Next” series first started in 2013, where they teased fans about their artistes’ comebacks or debuts. The first artiste that was revealed in the “Who’s Next” series is 2NE1‘s CL who made her solo debut through her new album, “The Baddest Female“. The “Who’s Next” series was then followed by other YG artistes’ comeback including Akdong Musician, Epik High, and BIGBANG‘s Taeyang. They’ve also recently debut a new sub-unit duo Hi Suhyun, made up of Lee Hi and Suhyun from Akdong Musician.
And yes, this upcoming hip-hop project is a follow-up in YG’s “Who’s Next” series. The poster they’ve uploaded on their official blog has led us to believe the previous rumour about a new rapper duo that is set to debut under YG Entertainment.
Earlier on November 3rd, 2NE1‘s CL is rumoured to be collaborating with Korean rapper, Dok2 for an unknown album. The rumour is originated from Instiz, a Korean website that posted the following tweet about YG’s “Who’s Next” series:

The rumour also came after CL’s collaboration performance with Diplo during the 2014 Style Icon Awards in Seoul. Both CL and Dok2 fueled the speculations about their collaboration through their Instagram pictures as Dok2 was spotted hanging out at YG studio. Many refused to believe the rumour as Instiz has previously falsely predicted the release date of other idol groups.
However, YG’s latest announcement about their new project has reignited the rumour as the medals featured in the poster indicates that the first project will feature 2 artistes while another project will feature 3 artistes.
The featured artistes in the project have not been unveiled yet but the first project will be revealed on 21st Nov at midnight KST. As for the second project, the new unit will be unveiled on 2nd Dec.
Now, we don’t know about you but we can’t wait to find out who they are! Who do you think will be featured in the “YG Hiphop Project”? Will the leaders make a triumphant return? More importantly, will GD & TOP make their long-awaited comeback through this project? Let us know what you think in the comments box below!
