YG Entertainment & Lee Michelle may be having issues, so let's invent narratives!

So a rumor going around recently is that Lee Michelle — she of “K-Pop Star” and SuPearls fame — is having problems with YG Entertainment.

According to an initial post by Sports Chosun, insiders in the industry are said to have revealed that the singer and the agency seem to be in conflict due to differences of opinion, and that Michelle has not been showing up at the agency.

On the rumor, YG Entertainment is reported to have commented, “We cannot reveal in detail about the incidents that occur before debut. For now, please keep an eye out with interest.”

Well, shit happens.

I did find it interesting though that YGE didn’t come out with a straight denial and instead sort of used it to hype the release.

Anyway, since we basically have zero knowledge that anything even happened, much less if any of it is true, people took the wait-and-see approach, right?

LOL NO

[BREAKING] Conflict Scandal Erupts Between YG Entertainment and Ethnic Trainee Lee Michelle

This is definitely NOT surprising. She probably got fed up with all the cultural appropriation/racism in YGE. Poor SuPearls though!

Yes! It’s racism! We don’t know any details but still! Racism! Because it fits my worldview and narratives are more important than reality!

lol

—–

In all seriousness, given the reality that Korea does have a problem with racism, it wouldn’t surprise me if a part of this was racially motivated, nor would it surprise me if a trainee simply acted up, but the point is that it’s a tad early to make any judgment on the issue, much less a final one.

For what it’s worth, YGE did just now step up and say that there’s nothing going on here.

YG Entertainment stepped forward to clear up the rumors and denied there was any discord between Lee Michelle and the agency.

The agency added it believed the rumors began from Lee Michelle’s absence from her training, which being attributed to personal reasons.

The representative stated that Lee Michelle was simply taking a break, just like countless other trainees who at times deal with personal issues, and denied that there was any discord or conflict.

Well, that’s a lot more straightforward than their earlier statement.

Whether that’s the truth or not, who knows, but it has to be taken more seriously than speculation based on nothing.

  1. She does not ring any bells for me. SuPearls who?

  2. Umm….yeah. People need to chill.

  3. Whooooooooo, countdown to the “angry black woman” label begins …. NOW

  4. My own speculation…..YGE wanted her to lose 30kg and wanted to make her the rapper in the group and the girl refused hence the dispute……lol…..sounds more plausible than racism…..lol

    • Sounds legit.
      Add in some plastic surgery because of the butter face (although YG didn’t give a crap about 2NE1′s fugly faces, so that might be wrong.)

      • Due to 2NE1′s faces, i didn’t add plastic surgery, if they can allow those faces to debut of course they can allow Michelle to debut with hers…..

      • Yeah but Park Bom is a plastic surgery nightmare.

        • She’d creep the shit out of me if I had a soul. She’s hideous.

        • My take is: after seeing the side effects of plastic surgery on Bom’s face (which is awful) they decided to abstain until they can find a much better p/s surgeon for their company and seeing that Minzy and CL aren’t improving in the looks department, i’ll say they haven’t found one yet…..

    • This I find completely plausible. :o

  5. Let my inner racism come out.

    She’s probably acting up because she knows she can get away with more. She can cry “racism, racism” and beg for political correctness bullshit cause she’s black. Doesn’t matter if another trainee does the same thing and gets punished the same way because the media will focus in on her blackness.

    But honestly, I think she’s gonna fail miserably. She’s not hot, she’s compe

    • I read so much fail in all of your posts that I’m not even sure whether it’s worth replying or not…

      • I read so much immaturity in your comments, I am absolutely sure you’re below the age of 22 and you’re still a prick at college that only hangs out with spazzy girlfriends.

        • argumentum ad hominem/personam is the last weapon in a discussion, If you do not have arguments.

        • I wasn’t made aware that we were having an argument? He didn’t make any valid rebuttals to my points, he just said they “fail”

        • @outsiderkpop: she really did not make any valid rebuttals, but she make no personal remarks.
          you have used the argumentum ad hominem/personam.

        • Are you that desperate to show that you read up on a wiki on logical fallacies? I’m not in an argument, I’m not using a personal attack to prove a point. Until I use it as evidence or as justification, it is no fallacy. Maybe a misguided observation, but only that. There is no fallacy.

        • Idiot.

        • lol.
          yes, i’m so desperate to show that i read up on a wiki on logical fallacies.
          (i wasted my time to study 2 semester rheoric, 1 semester formal logic and 4 semester philosophy. what i only need is it the wiki)

        • You took college courses but still can’t make out the difference? Should’ve just stayed silent and make it look like you only read the wiki. But I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, make it more obvious like I do. Exaggeration is the way to go.

        • I wonder which part of that supposed to hurt me :o Touché would’ve been if you wrote:
          “One bored soul with too much time on your hand, aren’t you?”
          ^That’s at least true lol

    • Another Account

      I doubt that since this South Korea and not America asswipe.

    • Oh haha it’s comment is funny because it’s pretty much an example of what this article is about; inventing narratives!

      Guess you’re also one of the many who use the one drop rule?

      • I’m not inventing narratives. I’m merely speaking upon what’s probably even though I’m usually 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999% right. You just aren’t able to comprehend me.

        And I believe everything in moderation. She’s black. You can say she’s not black alll you want. she’s black.

        • As someone who is multiple races, including black, I can say that your ignorance is abundant. For sure.

          Seeing Michelle on KPop Star there is no doubt that she’s proud to be Korean. I don’t understand how her screaming racism could even be a theory. That all black people look for opportunities to pull the race card? Say whaaaa

        • I never said that she isn’t proud to be Korean. But that she can pull the race card and pull more shit. That’s what I said you ignorant cray cray fool.

        • No proof that’ you’re 99.999999999999999999999999 (whatever nines you used) right except you just claim so. Again, it’s still oneo f the thousands reasons why they have ‘issues.’

          Whoever said she wasn’t black? One drop rules means if you have one drop of black, no matter what else you’re mixed with doesn’t matter because you’re ultimately deemed black. She’s black (and even that, who knows what else she could be mixed with if her dad is a descendent of slaves from the US) and Korean. (and it seems the one drop rule doesn’t follow the same rules if you’re mixed with non-black) Stereotypically, many see a ‘black girl’ but it’s disrespectful towards her (and this goes to generally anyone who is mixed) to completely ignore the fact she’s mixed. “Doesn’t matter she’s mixed, still black,” attitude is something I can’t stand.

        • @Minahmyu

          That’s exactly what I was getting at. The one drop rule ignorance. She’s proud to be Korean, but fuck that she’s still black. And because she’s apparently only black she can drop the race card.

        • you guys just can’t comprehend my profoundness. She is still part black. And her skin color is black. Ergo, she’s black.

        • It doesn’t matter what she thinks or what you think. What matters is the general public and media. They think she’s black, so she can use the race card and the media usually plays it for her.

        • @NotSoRaven

          YOU’RE A MIXED BABY TOO?!?!?!?!

          http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqwghxfMV51qi7bao.gif

          what else are you?!?!? i’m european, middle eastern, and asian….

        • ”you guys just can’t comprehend my profoundness.”
          Can’t tell if trolling or….

        • Excited cause kafkaf listed out her races and now I have a more vivid image to fap to

        • If you’re gonna troll, why do you even hang around?

          I mean, seriously.

          You basically just inferred a ton of shit about her, the situation, and Korean popular opinion based on nothing.

        • Why I do it? Because I’m bored. I make my responses in the downtime during LoL queues.

          But what makes me laugh, is for all the criticism and insults I take for being ignorant or stupid, it’s all coming from hypocrites and/or idiots. They’re so focused on insulting me that they don’t even properly respond to the points I’m getting at.

          Look at what just happened, they were ranting about how I’m so ignorant and racist for adopting the one drop rule and stuff, really? Do my personal views actually pertain to the comments I made? You could have made a perfectly valid response regarding the pervasive racism in South Korean culture, but you decide to go after me? Granted, I did say “Let my inner racism come out” But who actually takes a person seriously if he says that.

          By the way, where the fuck did I insinuate that I use the one drop rule?

          Now cue all the smarter comments about how stupid I am and how I read everything wrong. Or how I’m being a pseudo smart guy troll. I may be all of the above, but y’all better look in the mirror. Especially you, Minahymu, I’m pretty sure you held a double standard back in the latino and black racism article.

        • Yeah… I… kinda just skimmed your current comment (I kinda don’t…care too much what you gotta say…) so yeah.. (I shouldn’t lie, I only read the first line and then saw my name at the bottom) You gotta be specific, hun, because I can’t remember every little thing I type. Please tell me what double-standard I supposedly stated.

        • I didn’t say shit like that, but you did sort of lead with a declaration that you’re “trolling” or purposely stirring the pot, so…

          …reap what you sow, no?

      • Hahaha @kafkaf

        I’m Black, Irish, both Apache and Choctaw Native American, and Spanish.

        Mixed babies, UNITE!

        • OMG NOT CHEROKEE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!? That’s the only Native American tribe that existedededed!!!!1111!!!!!

        • @Minahmyu

          pretty much the only people that i know with north american genes have blackfoot in them….

          http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzogfkq9ek1r4lea5.gif

        • mixed babies are gorgeous

          coming from the pure asian ass in the corner ^^

        • @Kafkaf

          Everyone who I know claiming to be (as they like to say) “Indian,” will say they’re either Cherokee (the stereotype black girls like to say to explain their long hair if they don’t look half white) or related to Pocahontas (seems like EVERYBODY is related to her yet I’m sure they only know the Disney story of her lol)

          My mom pulled that crap too for my grandpop’s side saying his mother was part Cherokee. -__- I’m sure we have Native American but dang it, why is ALWAYS Cherokee!? Because it’s a frickin car too!?

        • Well, part of it is “Indian Princess” syndrome (“We didn’t steal the land, we’re descended from an Indian princess!”) and part is that there really ARE a lot of people of Cherokee descent. There are two big factors contributing to that. One-the Cherokee were one of the more “European” looking tribes in the East, so spouses could be passed off as white. Two-generally speaking the Cherokee didn’t have a stigma attached to being a half-breed. The same cannot be said of other tribes. The first thing also meant that the Cherokee could be more successful (again, generally speaking) in white culture, thus contributing to the likelihood of interbreeding.

        • Ooooh I learned a lot ^^
          But… I think though… many who claim to be Cherokee aren’t thinking it with what you just said, but it’s the only tribe they can remember in school >_>

        • I’m mixed too!!! Black, Irish, and Native American (Black foot tribe)!!! Mixed babies rock!!!

    • So will we see a make up sex orgy between all of you afterwards?

      Otherwise this will be awkward. kafkaf, bring peace to this fucking place, nao!

    • I don’t see why Korean companies would care. Korean netizens would back the company if they came out with any plausible reason for why they were having issues with her. They already do it with Korean artists, much less a trainee that’s half-black and looks full-black.

      You say they care about being politically correct, but when have they shown that? Certainly not through their actions to date.

      • Yeah you’re probably right. I forgot for a second how racist Korea was. In fact, she’ll probably get more flack and then people will hate on black people more thinking they’ll be like her. Haha.

  6. WHERE DUH HERRRRrrrrrRrRrrRrR IZ NO_MIN?!?! ME NEEDZ SOME CREATIVE COMMENTS

  7. I’m not sure whether I’m comfortable with SuPearls debuting under YG or not…
    At first I thought it will work out for them but in the end whoever debuts them, if it’s a kpop company, they are wasted talents.

  8. Another Account

    Really? Whatever…

  9. People are also saying she’s being ‘Ms Diva again’ -____- And still.. really…. ‘ethnic’ trainee… I’m sure if she was half white/Korean (or even anything else but half black) that word wouldn’t even pop up. I know it’s used to 1) bring in more hype/speculation because she’s mixed, therefore, bring more people to read and 2) already assume it’s about race but I just personally have a problem when I see the word ‘ethnic’ pop up anywhere meaning black.. like when I go to the store -____- (like why do black people & their hair have to be considered ‘ethnic?’ like our hair is so abnormal or something.. I highly doubt if one goes to Jamaica or another predominate black area, there’s not gonna be a section called ‘ethnic hair’ for Loreal or Garnier -_- Yeah I know it has nothing to do with this post but I just had to rant about it. Anywho, thank you Korean store owners who pretty much sell hair products for black people because without you guys…. *cries* I would have to go to the tiny ‘ethnic hair’ section in a store!!!!)

    But um… yeah……. not gonna assume that much because well, anything is possible ^^;; What’s one of the top 3 things in the world that’ll bring tons of people arguing (thus more readers!)? Religion, Race & Sexuality!!!!

    • Dang it did not mean for it to be this long….

    • Oh, you mentioned sexuality… and No_Min appears!

      A nice penis gif is missing though.

    • Btw you are most definitely right about your list of topics that will create emotions and therefore big discussions.

      But politics should be added as well. Especially foreign politics because nothing’s more fun than bashing other countries while you have little Hitlers sitting in your own fucking parlement. So hilarious.

      I got in so much trouble in my life because I made fun of Republicans – some of them get so fucking emotional, I just can’t stop mocking them even if I have to get my ass whopped by some drunk bastards.

      • I was gonna add that but it seems politics gets its way into those 3 regardless.. But… yeah, politics is another.

        • I recently got in an argument with someone about politics- we argued over the Biden-Paul debate. She called me a fucking bitch. Because I proved her wrong, of course. This was the same chick who said I was a horrible person and unable to appreciate anything because I said I didn’t like super junior and didn’t give a shit that they “helped” out with child trafficking in some other asian country.

          Dumb bitches are dumb.

        • It’s nice celebs (in this case, Kpop ones) do that but eh.. .doesn’t make them a saint.

          …I’m sorry every time I see your pic I just think he’s thinking “….you gonna eat that cookie?!” It makes me giggle and then, of course, I feel bad .__.

      • i’m kinda a repubrican minnie…

        but you make me feel crazy-ass emotions, and if being emotional means that some asses will be wooped…..

        • Whoooooooot!

          Then you must be one of the few sane ones. Which says a lot since you’re pretty fucking insane yourself!

          Don’t worry, it’s not like I fucking dislike all of them. Just so fucking fun to mock the ultra conservative christian ones (at least if they’re in Germany and not allowed to carry a fucking shotgun).

      • I absolutely agree, religion, politics, race, and sexuality are the worst things to discuss. When these topics come up, a person’s ignorance is usually exposed. I have had to deal with my fair share of ppl calling me names and personally attacking me because I shut them down. I try not to engage myself in these sort of discussions with people who are not mature. God, I have a conservative, republican uncle and I HATE getting sucked into political debates with him. He’s the most pretentious, prejudice asshole I know. Think Mitt Romney tenfold. His debates aren’t even discussions, I just get talked down on.

        • One of those married into my family and it always turns out “funny” at family parties. Especially cause I am always drunk as fuck.

          Oh! Just thought about another no-go topic: Abortion.
          That always turns discussions into a battlefield.

    • Top three things you don’t talk about: religion, politics, and football. And fuggin everything about kpop cause people are insane.

    • I agree with the whole “diva” thing. It seems like whenever there is a problem that involves a black women they say something like it must be our attitude or something. Kinda annoying, since humans aren’t always happy. We can’t be mad or upset about anything without being stereotyped.

      I’m not going to assume this is whole thing has anything do with racism, but I agree with the person who said YG is terrible when it comes to cultural appropriation, and I wonder how they are going to showcase her looks, since she is not White or Asian and they pretty much started the whole trend of if shes not Asian, use a white model in your MV. So I just wonder…?

      • people throw around cultural appropriation a lot

        why is it a problem?

        • Also YG didn’t start any “white or Asian model” trend, that’s pretty much a Korean trend, ya get me?

        • Using someones culture as a trend can br problematic. Also yg started it in music videos it seems like once they did it other groups followed. Either way im still not sure how well they’d use her.

      • Diva does only seem to pertain to black women.

        That I can recall at least. In the media.

    • THIS!!!! I always thought why is my hair ethinic? It’s just hair!! Fucking hell…..

      • Yay I don’t feel alone!!!! ;_; “Ethnic” hair.. UNITE!!!! With our naps & chemically-straighten processed hair combined…….” (I… dunno what else to add to that. Was kinda going Captain Planet with it then… yeah lol)

  10. Adding ‘ethnic’ to their news title is a cheap trick.

  11. Schizo_phrenia

    Is she black or mixed ????

    • She’s half Korean half Black

      • Korean is not a race.

        • wtf ?!! nobody speaks about race here, she half-black halk korean, do you know what does it mean ? it means one of her parents is black (american, canadian Idk) and the other korean. If you prefer she is half african, half asian. Okay ?

        • Calm down!!! So she’s half american or canadian and half korean.

          @Suk_Mi_Unagi: Sorry, I never meant to criticize you, I’m just trying to clarify a possibly ambiguous statement.

        • Yeah but when logically speaking, black isn’t a race too. (if talking about someone who’s from North America) because she’s most likely mixed with Native American, some European, and some other stuff. She’s Korean (ethnically since that’s the dominate ethnic group in Korea) and black (just a lack of a better word really…) Just like the US Census wanna act like being Hispanic/Latino isn’t a ‘race’ well, neither is being black -___-

  12. I really want Michelle and her group to succeed, mostly so I could witness the racist haters in SK pull a 180 and start kissing her ass. Hines Ward never forget.

    • Everyone over at AKP is saying she must be a diva. I don’t know, but the few times I saw clips of her on youtube she always seemed humble and nice. People gotta make everything a race issue. I really hope they change the name of the group… SuPearls just sounds wack. They need a new name asap.

      • The ignorant thing about people calling her a ‘diva’ (esp if they’re seriously relating that to her being half black) is that she’s raised as a Korean citizen so… most likely, acts Korean because, duh she was born/raised in Korea by her Korean mom only ^^;;;

        People take that ONE incident that was barely even considered a ‘diva’ moment, and just label her with everything she does. Now yeah, I do that too but in a joking way, knowing full well one incident doesn’t really apply to everything else they’ll do later on afterwards (like with Seungri lol) but they’re seriously doing it and so hypocritical because I’m sure many of them have “oppa didn’t mean it” and “They’re human and make mistakes too! They said sorry!!”

    • That was not supposed to be a reply.

    • Hines Ward is the funniest shit (not really funny but sort of in a fucked up way).

      SPIT ON MOM, CALL HIM NAMES

      WIN SUPER BOWL

      LOST SON OF KOREA

      lol

  13. I’m still cheering for Michelle, she’s really talented. To all the people saying she wont make it because she’s ugly………. I don’t think she’s ugly, I think her weight just takes the center stage when people look at her.

  14. She probably demanded that seungri not be scared of her, and hand her a towel instead of running away after their night together.

  15. SPEAKING OF RACIST NARRATIVES!!! :D

    IATFB, what do you have to say about Tiger JK’s racist outburst on twitter about those hecklers at his concert?

    A few weeks ago I argued with some idiots about racism on Seoulbeats and it was fucking ridiculous. Curious to hear your take

    • wat.

      Please elaborate or spam us with links.

      • He was doing a show for the Creative Project in Seoul when a bunch of (white) foreigners kept heckling him about doing the Gangnam Style dance. So he pretty much lost it, stopped the set, and went OFF. Said fuck you white people, fuck CNN, fuck Hollywood and said Asians are not jokes for white people to laugh at or use for comedy.

        • Oh wow, not bad.
          http://i50.tinypic.com/ka5ufa.gif

          Gonna have to google that story, thanks for explaining! May your bias visit you in your wet dreams tonight!

        • Tiger jk ranted about people being racist to his son in 2010… He got very pissed about it– just throwing that out there.

          Did he really say fuck white people?

        • A little funny that he went on that racist rant, when he just flipped the fuck out not far back after racist things about his son were posted by Knetizens. Lol.

        • milkywhituskinned

          Hory shet

        • Everyone knows that Tiger JK’s outburst had more to do with his jealousy of Psy’s success (who I’m sure he views as an inferior) than any perceived “racism”.

          Apparently it was just a couple of idiots near the stage asking him to do the “Gangnam Style” dance. They might have been hecklers (which would make them simply jerks – not racists). Then again, they could have actually wanted to see him do the GS dance – just like almost every single Korean variety show MC the last 2 months has asked of every Korean guest. Certainly not enough to warrant Tiger JK’s racist rant towards all the white fans in the crowd (99% of whom had no idea what he was ranting about).

        • Sorry for the late reply, had class and work all day T__T

          “Everyone knows that Tiger JK’s outburst had more to do with his jealousy of Psy’s success (who I’m sure he views as an inferior) than any perceived “racism”.”

          Really? That’s new. In the discussions I’ve read nobody ever brought that point up. It was always people arguing about how “Was Tiger JK racist or not when he said ‘fuck all white people’?” etc. etc. and a bunch of people made outrageous excuses for him because he was part of the Asian minority (even though technically he was part of the majority since his concert was in Korea) – basically saying he could say whatever he wants about white people since they have “oppressed Asians for centuries ever since colonial times and WHITE PRIVILEGE IS ERRRRRVERYWHERE, and you white peeps will NEVER understand how we minorities feel when we are discriminated!!!!!”

          -______- I mean I’m Asian and all so I “understand”, but there was so much butthurt comments and whining about white people it was insane. Some of us should just make accounts to troll there and piss people off :D

          I don’t follow Tiger JK all that much so I don’t know anything about him except he supposedly supports “racial equality” or some shit like that… kinda hypocritical and ironic considering his tirade onstage…

          Here are some wonderfully racist links for y’all’s viewing pleasure:

          http://seoulbeats.com/2012/10/why-tiger-jk-isnt-racist-shouldnt-have-apologized-and-how-psy-factors-in/

        • He addressed the jealousy issue, but I don’t believe him:

          http://www.soompi.com/2012/09/27/tiger-jk-clarifies-rumors-and-reaffirms-his-friendship-with-psy/

          He’s jealous – he even said so recently:

          http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/13038/20120823/psy-gangnam-style-tiger-jk-jealousy.htm

          He was even whining about how he was jealous of his wife getting “love calls” in the US. Probably butted his way into that Far East Movement remix, when originally it was just supposed to be Tasha on the track.

          He also has been telling odd, non-believable stories recently about how he rejected offers from Michael Jackson in the past.

          He is jealous of Psy’s success and it boiled over in that moment at the concert. That’s the only rational explanation. I’m sure he was pissed at the guys who were heckling him to do Psy’s dance, but that was just the tipping point.

    • I’ll write about it soon.

  16. She probably just found out that being an Idol, means you have to give up all rights to yourself. YG is making her into something she doesn’t want to be and taking control of her every move.

  17. BTW, You know how Kpop fluff articles always put Kpop groups in the same sentence as like “Beyonce”, “Micheal Jackson”…

    Well, now Allkpop has put G.NA up with Condoleezza Rice…

    “The lecture was titled ‘K-POP: A Conversation with G.NA‘, and ran for about an hour at the Elkins Auditorium, putting her on the same stage as prominent figures such as Condoleezza Rice, the former United States Secretary of State. Reportedly, Hollywood actors that live in nearby Malibu, various directors, and entertainment figures attended her lecture.”

  18. Im to lazy to youtube her…. Can she sing?

  19. Everyone over at AKP is saying she must be a diva. I don’t know, but the few times I saw clips of her on youtube she always seemed humble and nice. People gotta make everything a race issue. I really hope they change the name of the group… SuPearls just sounds wack. They need a new name asap.

    • It’s cause one time on the show she sort of brushed off this interviewer after she got bad feedback.

      Netizens acted like singers aren’t allowed to get their feelings hurt or some shit.

  20. She’s nothing to fap over, NEXT! I hope for her sake that she’s incredibly talented, because dat face…

  21. Ive said this and will say it again. Critical thinking must be used when discussing social issues. Some of the comments on this article ….sigh…..

    Tiger J/Ks rant came from somewhere deeper. His experience as an Korean-American are what brought about his tirade. He did what I can only imagine many Asian-American have been wanting to say. There comes a point when you have to be loud and verbal. A Radical approach is exactly what is needed for.others to acknowledge his grievances with the subtle racism towards Asians as a whole.

    • Lol it was more than being “loud and verbal.” He basically cursed out all white people, even though it was only a few people in the audience who called out for the GS dance. Whether it was racially motivated or not was unclear. People have constantly INSISTED to me that it was and slapped that “racism” label on everything, but logically no one can make that conclusion with the information presented.

      I’m Asian American, and that “radical approach” shit doesn’t fly with me. Cursing out your audience is unprofessional and just shows lack of control over your own temper.

  23. I thought koreans hated or despised the mixed koreans, like they have “bad roots” or something like that. Even the half white half korean one. Nothing is better than a full, pure blood korean in their country.

    • To many, that’s unfortunately true.

      I do think the younger generation, like with most countries, is more liberal though.

  24. I don’t get why everyone is bringing up race. YG wouldn’t have signed her if they had a problem with her race…

    I’m sure conflicts between companies and trainees happen all the time.
    Having to lose weight, not making the kind of music they want, not getting enough attention, the training is too hard etc etc.

    The only difference is that Michelle is known. And not some nobody

    • agree 100%.

      there are some people out there who just NEED to look for that opportunity EVERYWHERE to bitch over and over again about their (racial) life problems

  25. I didn’t notice she’s black……..

    Does that mean I’m not racist? :3
