YG Sings a Bit on "SBS K-Pop Star" to JYP’s Amusement
On the most recent episode of “SBS K-Pop Star” that was broadcast on January 8, the judge YG (YG of YG entertainment, Yang Hyun Suk) sang a bit. This was probably the first time he was seen singing on television since his Taiji Boys days. (Although he did sing solo in “Smoke of Devil” and has mostly rapped since) YG ended up singing for Lim Da Young because she could not get the right key for “Lonely.” YG helped her out by singing a bit of it. JYP became surprised and turned to YG saying “Wait isn’t this the first time you’ve sung since the Taiji Boys?” While laughing, YG told JYP not to mock him.

[Highlights] Survival Audition K-Pop Star Episode 4: Before I go into the recap I have to say that I am currently crazy about this show. The contestants are a lot better than those from other shows and it is so much fun watching YG and JYP talk about what they look at, argue, and basically judge the contestants. (It kind of shows you the brainwork behind groups like 2PM or Big Bang.) BoA adds a very skilled female judge to the mix.
