[+100, -1] That’s cool. I remember when B2ST couldn’t get theirs so they had to change their name to Highlight.
[+77, -6] YG knew they’d get a ton of hate if they didn’t give GD his name. Not like they would be able to use it at all had they kept it.
[+40, -2] Good on Yang, he’ll be blessed for this
[+16, -1] I know it’s easy to think YG has no use for the name without GD himself but.. from a monetary standpoint, it’s impressive that YG gave it up
[+1, -0] YG’s on the decline so they probably figured they’d at least get some good image karma out of this
[+0, -0] What would GD have done if they didn’t give it over? Change his name to GY?
[+0, -0] Knowing how evil Yang Hyun Suk is, I’m wondering if he just thought GD’s not relevant anymore ㅋ
[+0, -0] GD can go around calling himself Kwon Jiyong and people will still be screaming G-Dragon anyway
[+0, -0] Annoying that YG’s acting like they can get media attention off of this but I’m glad they did it in the end
