At 30, YG Entertainment looks ahead with BIGBANG return, new debuts
YG Entertainment is preparing a slate of major projects as it marks its 30th anniversary in 2026, signaling both a return to legacy acts and a push toward the next generation of K-pop. In a video titled “2026 YG PLAN | YG ANNOUNCEMENT” released through the company’s official social media channel Wednesday, executive producer Yang Hyun-suk outlined the label’s upcoming activities. The most notable reveal was the return of K-pop boy band BIGBANG. Marking its 20th debut anniversary this year, the group has agreed to hold concerts with YG, according to Yang. Although the three remaining members — G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung — are currently signed to different agencies, they plan to reunite under the BIGBANG name for the performances. YG also confirmed plans for intensified activities from its current roster. Rookie girl group BABYMONSTER is set to release two albums this year alongside a large-scale world tour, while boy band TREASURE will launch the next phase of its career with a mini album in June.

BABYMONSTER under pressure as YG seeks BLACKPINK successor
Approaching its second anniversary, K-pop girl band BABYMONSTER is struggling to establish itself as YG Entertainment's definitive flagship act. The group's momentum has been hindered by inconsistent recent releases and the agency's launch of a massive new audition project. The seven-member multinational group debuted amid high expectations in 2024. As YG's first new girl group since BLACKPINK, the highly promoted trainees initially stumbled with the 2023 pre-debut track "Batter Up." Released without member Ahyeon, the track underperformed and faced criticism for a dated concept. YG pivoted by bringing Ahyeon back for the group's official debut in early 2024. The strategy paid off immediately. The group's first mini-album, "BABYMONSTER," sold more than 400,000 copies in its first week.

The group gained traction with the title track "Sheesh" and the subsequent full-length album lead "Drip." Both releases shed the criticized elements of "Batter Up." They earned praise for showcasing YG's signa
