Main plot / theme

The video looks at YG Entertainment’s “buried talent”—trainees who didn’t get to debut under YG and then either found success elsewhere or ended up struggling/retiring. It argues that YG’s famous groups (e.g., BigBang, 2NE1, BLACKPINK) are only the visible part of a much larger roster of potential that never fully materialized.

Key highlights & notable storylines

1) “Future to Anyone” → a lineup that never debuted

The video discusses an abandoned YG project called Future to Anyone, presented as part of broader planning.

  • The trainees believed to be core members were 4 sisters/trainees (as listed in subtitles):
    • Lim Sua
    • Lion
    • Pooyang
    • Monsua
  • Monsua (the most spotlighted) is highlighted through:
    • Coverage on Unpretty Rapstar, where she places 3rd in Round 2
    • Despite this, YG still does not debut her
  • After leaving YG (in 2019), she debuts with Mystic Story in the group Billy, described as one of the most stable outcomes compared to other “buried talent” stories.

Le Soyon

  • Debuts via Idol School (2018), but her career doesn’t fully take off due to the program’s issues
  • Leaves her company in 2025, then pursues solo work under a new name

The video repeatedly frames the scenario as a “what if”—the non-debut is treated as a major waste and a reason some fans still criticize YG.

2) “Ping Pong” rumored to be a huge girl group → BLACKPINK ends up only 4

Ping Pong is presented as early planning for a potentially 9-member girl group.

  • The final outcome is BLACKPINK with 4 members
  • The rest are shown as having been eliminated and redirected

Notable departures and follow-up trajectories include:

  • Mon (as a close figure to BLACKPINK in subtitles)
    • Joins Cube and debuts in (G)I-DLE, becoming a major beloved vocalist
  • “Alphabet couple” joke: Kim Na + Kim B
    • Described as trainees heavily promoted by YG
    • Both leave early (2013/2014) and later retire in 2021
  • Chini and Chang Han
    • Take solo paths after leaving (2017)
    • The video highlights Chang Han’s disappointing missed breakthrough, including an opportunity to duet with a senior in 2015
  • A humorous, speculative moment suggests that if BLACKPINK had been a 9-member group, it “might have looked different,” tying the bitterness to YG’s later successes (referenced as “Tri” in subtitles).

3) Katy Kim: “kept in the basement”

Katy Kim (from Kpop Star season 4) is portrayed as someone YG handled with unusual caution.

  • She’s allegedly kept training in YG’s “basement” since 2015
  • She has few appearances and no real debut plan
  • She leaves and debuts in 2018 following her creative director

The video notes:

  • Her career focus is more aimed at the Western market
  • Later she faces hard times:
    • reportedly working as a restaurant kitchen assistant while pursuing art
    • some online images show her looking frail

The tone is clearly sympathetic, framing her story as another example of talent being wasted.

4) Daniel & Minju: left YG during major trainee eras, then debuted elsewhere

This section flips the theme: leaving YG doesn’t “ruin” them—it redirects them toward debut.

Daniel

  • A YG trainee around 2019–2020 (during the Baby Monster era)
  • Leaves quickly to pursue a different direction
  • Joins HYBE and debuts with NewJeans (2022–2025)
  • The narrator claims she’ll soon go solo

Minju

  • Joins HYBE in 2023
  • Debuts in Maoli(t) as a main vocalist with strong training background

5) 2018 YG “Cesser Box” as a purge-level test (Tracer era)

The video characterizes YG’s 2018 “Cesser Box” as a survival contest:

  • Extremely competitive (many trainees, few spots)
  • Many well-known trainees are unexpectedly eliminated

Examples of rerouting and disqualifications:

  • Lee Bongon wins a competition but is eliminated in the final episode
  • Wang Junhao and Ma Hero
    • directed to Japan
    • debut in a group that later disbands
  • Kita
    • debuts in multiple groups that collapse
    • later joins EVN (Even) via Boys Planet, framed as relatively more stable because the group keeps running

6) General conclusion: talent lost, but also “YG learned”

The narrator sums up 15+ years of trainees leaving due to planning gaps:

  • some retire
  • some struggle to live
  • others rise suddenly elsewhere

Final note: the video claims YG has learned not to keep trainees too long without debuting, and suggests new male/female groups are coming.

Jokes / standout lines

  • Kim Na and Kim B are joked about as “the alphabet couple.”
  • A tongue-in-cheek speculation: what BLACKPINK would’ve looked like as a 9-member group, tied to later YG successes.
  • Repeated comedic-but-sad framing of:
    • “basement” training
    • “purging ground” auditions
