[+100, -1] That's cool. I remember when B2ST couldn't get their own and had to change their name to Highlight.
[+77, -6] YG knew that if they didn't give GD his name, he would get a ton of hate because if they kept his name, he wouldn't be able to use it at all.
[+40, -2] Good job, Mr. Yang. You will be blessed for this.
[+16, -1] It's easy to think that without GD himself, the name YG wouldn't be needed, but it's impressive that YG gave it up, financially speaking.
[+1, -0] Since YG is in decline, they probably thought they would at least get some good image karma from this.
[+0, -0] What would you have done if GD hadn't handed it over? Would you have changed your name to GY?
[+0, -0] If you knew how evil Yang Hyun Suk was, did you just think GD had no more meaning? lol
[+0, -0] Even if GD calls himself Kwon Ji Yong, people will still shout G-Dragon.
[+0, -0] It's annoying that YG acts like they can get media attention with this, but I'm glad they did it in the end
