Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
I’ll level with you, folks. When I first saw the YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk, I honestly thought that the man had some kind of genetic deformation that made him either physically or mentally deficient … or both. I mean, seriously, the guy looks like a bad case of trans-gene stem-cell research or something out of the fucking Frankenstein laboratory.
Well, it looks like my preconception of Mr. Yang was not without its merits, because it was recently revealed in an interview that “Papa YG” was a pretty shitty student in elementary school.
The report showed a lot of ‘yang‘ grades, which embarrassed Yang Hyun Suk quite a bit. Yang is equivalent to a D grade, which normally ranges from 60-70%.
Really? Who the fuck actually gets Ds in elementary school? How exactly do you fail at coloring pretty pictures and showing the class your pet turtle?
In retrospect, his dumbass-ery actually makes a lot of sense. Letting a weed-smoking twink run around pretending to have “swag” may have possibly been the worst decision ever made in the history of the world (second only to allowing a certain female singer fuck up her image by replacing all the tissue in her face with silicon and bags of saline).
Of course, the general fan reaction has been to support the paint huffer, with people undermining the whole basis of Asian academic integrity. Case in point:
And if you thought that was bad, get a load of this pearl of knowledge:
Yes, I’m sure. Just keep telling yourself that, honey…
Yeah … no.
For the rest of us back in reality, let’s just laugh smugly and look down our noses at the less scholastically-talented and forever stick to the modus operendi that is Asian parenting:

‘SunggyusYeobo’ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA NO.
LOL at the second comment. I know that grades doesn’t really measure one’s success but seriously???
meh. he is alright. part of wildly popular cultural icon of early 90′s..
same could be said of JYP. I was telling my wife the other day, if someone told me YG and JYP would become a head of multi million dollar agency back when they started out, i would have laughed my ass off.
remember that korean elementary school is equivalent to western highschool :o
and specifying that he got bad grades in elementary school would imply he did not get bad grades in the rest of his academic career…No?
korean elementary school=western high school?is this a fact or an assumption?
its a flippant comment…but korean elementary school is significantly more study orientated than schools in the west from what ive seen.
you’ve seen it?are you a teacher?
Yes I have seen it. No im not a teacher.
then you are not a credible source!unless you have been a student of both, or you bring your child to korean school or something
I dont care if you think im a credible source or not. Do your own research on it. Go to any korean book store, go to the education section and check the elementary school textbooks.
i won’t go do research to prove your statement!you write it and i’m just curious if its true.why are you so serious?are you mad?
Look at the way you write. Dont ask why people are serious when you talk to people like that.
the exclamation points?but..i don’t mean it in a bitchy way,i’m curious and calm when writing it,,i just like exclamation marks.i never shout or bitchy when i talk…you really mad?i don’t want anyone to be mad at me..sorry?..
Not for me.
Are you disagreeing with my elementary school comment or the implication comment?
School.
did you go private?
Yes.
I’m not one to judge someone base on their academics (my brother wasn’t the greatest in school… didn’t go to college and he makes more money than my mom while me… went to a 4 year college and still trying to find something ._.) especially since my favorite singer didn’t even finish highschool and is arguably one of the best/successful singers in Japan (and she shut somebody down on twitter when they made fun of her not finishing highschool.. epic comeback~) but c’mon @ the second comment? So now we shouldn’t try to do well in school because that means we’re gonna all be CEO of generic idol groups? And the smart ones are gonna be the ones to work under them? Yeah ok… Don’t use him as an excuse because you’re lazy/get bad grades. “I don’t have to try now! Papa YG was dumb in school and look at him?! If I’m dumb too, maybe someday I can be in control of hot dudes looking like Big Bang!!! *goes off to write fanfic*”
i think school smarts dont provide a person with artistic talent or ability to recognize one.
especially korean education system.
There have been multiple studies out that have shown a strong correlation between musical talent and high achievement in school.
Well, yeah. There’s always the classic band geek motif you see in American television. I think he meant more individualistic talent besides piano and violin.
Not like those instruments are not an ability, but more of an excuse to be better at something rather than to forming it into a career you desire.
meh~ grades don’t really determine how successful you can be anyway. Some people that got shitty grades can get by and be successful because they’re street smart.
But unless you got the street smart to make up for lack of book smart, fans should stick to studying.
And I’m sure many of those fans praising ‘Papa YG’ don’t have street smarts ^^;;;; (or even common sense for that matter… *coughs*)
I bet there’s a strong correlation.
Props to him making his money, yadda yadda yadda, but swag? I’m sure he’s Gollum from ‘The Lord of the Rings’.
Wished Aiya Tuc did not put the photo. Now trying to forget how he looks like.
Seriously creepy… in a bad way
I’m concerned you may not understand what that word means…THIS is a twink http://drmtr5yzg1z25.cloudfront.net/a8c74d31d13ba45aeaad9f81567c3b82_large.jpg
the passage of time, how the fuck does it work?
So what actually is a twink then? It’s a nice word – I’d like to use it the correct context.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twink_(gay_slang)
Pretty much, it’s just a term the gay community uses for very young, very “YUPPY” guys (smooth, tan, skinny as fuck, and pretentious – “brand whore”).
Some people confuse it with being “effeminate” but it’s more than that…it’s hard to describe really…
For reference, most of those kids in One Direction are twinks, however Justin Bieber really isn’t…it’s a hit & miss thing.
Anyways, if you want to piss a gay guy off, call him a twink :)
Disagree there, I believe both One Direction and Bieber are twinks. Justin just doesn’t have a partner to act like one imo
*maybe the easiest way to say it (as the wiki page did) is that it’s essentially the idea of a Hostess Twinkie. It LOOKS good (maybe even tastes good) but that’s about it…Twinks are people with great “outer packaging” but little “inner depth”

you can hate that weed-smoking twink all you want, but he’s brought in tons of cash for YG. not such a dumb decision when you think about it.
the 2nd comment is the worst though.
Looks like the anti-intellectual tradition in America is still going strong! Provided the comments came from Americans that is.
Does K-pop just make people act like tards or what?
Does K-pop just make people act like tards or what?
Yes
full tard.
And this is why,kpop entertainment is screwed,they are letting people with messed up ideology to run the business and passed it up as an inspiration to the gullible people mostly teenagers who doesn’t know what they want to do with their life yet. “oh, look, papa yg and my favorite idols didn’t go to school but they have more money than us,school is a joke!”.so we can’t bash him now because even though he looks like a screwed up fetus and doesn’t have a diploma,he is rich and famous!what an inspiring story!
How are you relating “messed up ideaology” to grades earned in elementary school? It seems as though the fans are the ones who need a slap in the face, since Yang Hyun-Suk seems to be appropriately embarrassed that his school record was revealed.
O_o
the messed up ideology is not just about the grades here!!!it is the message he convey to people “look at me,i’m ugly and didn’t take school seriously but i am rich and famous so you people out there make me an inspiration!!!if he is embarrassed about it he wouldn’t mention it!he is mocking the institution of education and proud of doing it!!
Maybe he just didn’t like school or something? You don’t get bad grades in elementary school because you’re stupid, you get them because you don’t do the homework.
Those comments though… -___- Good riddance.
He creeps me the fuck out, I think it’s his mouth. Looks like a pedo-serial killer mouth. But honestly the school thing isn’t a big deal. Maybe he started hating school earlier than most? XD I know during middle and high school, I advanced faster than the other students, so I was bored all the time. Then I started skipping and not doing the work and my grades dropped faster than HyunA’s panties.
I hope he has a more tamed and normal hairdo now, but she should never smile…EVER AGAIN. That smile screams he guts squirrels for fun.
Plus he had the NNNNERVE to call CL ugly! She might..not..be..the shiniest diamond in the rough, but to be called ugly from him just could be enough to kill yourself….
He’s got the face of a man that’s asked a woman “Hey, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?”
takes one to know one buddy.
Must be a musical genius only.
The point isn’t that academic achievement is the only way to success.
The point is that people are using this one example to say that you don’t need academic achievement to be successful when the majority of the time you do.
I mean, the goddamn reason that athletes and musicians get paid so much is BECAUSE of the fact that their skills are rare, so using them as contrary examples to education is idiotic.
Pro-tip: You aren’t them.
