It's unfortunate for Taeyang what really happened to BigBang after the Burning Sun scandal because Seungri was dealing with illegal activities. That kinda destroyed YG's reputation for boy groups which explains Treasure's struggle and IKON left YG. It hit me even more when I saw Boynextdoor and ILLIT got signed to Universal Music Japan's Polydor Records. The label that BigBang and Blackpink were signed to in Japan. Polydor doesn't look at what company the artists are coming from. The Polydor execs have probably watched over Boynextdoor's talent and ILLIT's star quality potential from R U Next. There is swag in them which fits the image of Polydor. The home of Alexandros, LUNA SEA and Perfume in Japan.
