G-Dragon’s expired contract with YG and speculations
YG Entertainment had announced that the G-Dragon’s contract expired on June 6. The idol had been working with the agency since his debut as a member of the group BIGBANG and as a solo artist. The entertainment agency had added on the subject and explained that negotiations are going on regarding advertising and other activities. On September 30, G-Dragon posted a picture of a part of a digital billboard that originally read: “WELCOMES G-DRAGON”. The billboard was put up by Warner Records.
Earlier last month, there were also reports of G-Dragon that G-Dragon visited the Warner Music Records office in Los Angeles, California. All of these incidents have led fans to believe that the artist might be joining Warner Records which is a subsidiary of Warner Music Group, one of the top three players in the global music industry. While some fans theorize that the idol may be joining the American company, others think that it might have just been a visit. Either way, fans are excited about his upcoming activities.
