It looks like Jung Hyung Don inspired a gagman rush to YG Entertainment, as fellow comedian Kim Kyung Jin has also requested to join YG.
A few days ago, Jung Hyung Don jokingly asked CEO Yang Hyun Suk if he would consider welcoming Jung to the label. Yang responded in an interview with E-Daily that “If Jung Hyung Don really meant what he said, I would like to discuss a management contract with him.”
On January 30th, Kim Kyung Jin added his own appeal to YG by tweeting the following message: ”I wish to go to YG. It’s because I’m a “gag-singer” who has released three digital singles! A gagman and singer!! CEO Yang! Please watch over the group ‘One Hundred’~”
He then attached a photo of himself posing beside a typed note that read, “I want to join YG too!” The comedian also wrote ‘YG’ on his face with toothpaste to further express his enthusiasm.
Netizens laughed as they commented, “Yang Hyun Suk! It’s a good deal! A gagman AND a singer in one!” and “Who’ll be the next gagman to knock on YG’s door, I wonder?”
