The K-pop Yearbook: Most Likely to Become CEO of Their Own Company

72
Written by On February 22, 2012

As if these polls would go away!

For our last couple of polls, we asked you for the realization of your ultimate ideals in K-entertainment. Whether it is your ideal type or your ideal group, this time, we’re changing things up a bit. For our this poll, we’re going to be asking you to remove your favorite idols from the traditional, pop and performance modality and think above and beyond. Imagine your idols, who sing to our hearts, dance to our bodies, and perform to our souls, post-idoldom. After all, in the famous words of Andre 3000, “If nothing lasts forever, then what makes [K-pop] the exception?”

And the first poll to start us off on this fantastically elastic adventure is Most Likely to become CEO of Their Own Company.

While idols are traditionally performers who are all about the energy and the show, some idols have shown us that they’re about the creation as well. And while having demonstrated an interest in creating their own products, they’ve also managed to present themselves as leaders, who are willing to foster ideas and see their realization — a quality that requires a specific and yet undefinable combination of creativity, confidence, and charisma. While we live in the days of Kim Young-Min, Yang Hyun-Suk, and Jeong Wook, this might all change in a few years. You might see one of your favorite idols of the here and now, the CEO leading idols in the there and that.

So who’s it going to be, Seoulmates?

And as always, give each other hugs and kisses in the comments section — not vitriol.

    GD, follow by BoA
    i think his group would be very unique, just like big bang
    BoA because she knows the ins and outs of the business

    • http://twitter.com/EAG0493 Enas AG

      I agree BoA because she knows the ins and outs of the business and seeing her on kpop star solidifies that she would make a great CEO. and GD because he has been in it so long, knows talent, and is a harsh critic. and they both have achieved such great success in the kpop industry. 

  • http://twitter.com/MonicaDBSK Monica

    Oooh what a great a idea! Voted Kahi.

    Gd, writes and produces and has allot of connections

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1452789711 Serra ‘Miyu’ Abak

    I picked BoA, because she literally already holds stock for SM and knows business. She probably has connections as well. 
    GD produces his own music and also has superior connections, so you could definitely make a case for him. 
    For some reason, I can also see Kahi becoming a CEO. She’s very much of a leader, and I feel like she knows how to deal with people. However, I don’t know if she would have enough connections to jumpstart her own company.

    Jaejoong..? Maybe I’m missing something, but why would he be most liked to become a CEO?

    Even though Jea and Junsu are very much leaders, I don’t see the CEO potential in them. They just don’t seem aggressive enough to me.

  • http://twitter.com/Mren33 Mren33

    If we could do a write-in, I’d vote Seungri. He’s already a business owner and (if I’m remembering correctly) it’s been stated in interviews that he’s very business and management minded. I’m a Bigbang and G-Dragon fan, but I don’t see him running a business. I see him as a music producer, something that will still allow him to express himself directly. I really don’t know who to vote for in this one.

    • http://twitter.com/EAG0493 Enas AG

      even though GD wouldn’t want to I still think he would make a great ceo. but I agree that when I read ceo first person came to my mind was seungri. 

      • http://twitter.com/miss_subi Subashiny

        This is fair but at the same time would Seungri want to CEO a music label? While he may have a techne for business, I don’t think that means he has a techne for business that lends him to be the next SM, YG, or JYP. Maybe the next Hyundai though. 

        • Anonymous

          since his current business is directly connected to the music/entertainment industry, heading a label is not that much of a jump. and he has the same profile that yg does – member of a top group but not the most recognised member, the one in the group slotted as the dancer/the cute one, and the member who’s making most of his money from a side-business/investments like yg did with real estate.
           
          and his personality is the primary reason i would still pick him over gd as the most likely to head a business. if gd does run a label on his own, he’ll be more like jyp and while that’s not the worst model for a ceo, it’s a very problematic model. gd’s also never expressed any inclination to set up a music label as yet. i’m sure he’ll stay involved in music production but he’s always said he wants to set up a luxury clothing boutique, which interestingly is what top wanted to do as well before he became a rapper.

      I completely agree.

      Agree, seungri is very entrepreneurial he already has schools so i can see how he can tap that and start a entertainment company. 

      Maybe he and gd should team up in the, GD in the creative side and Seungri in the business side

    • http://twitter.com/kekerri Kelly T

      I agree. Out of Big Bang, Seungri would be the most likely to run his own company. That’s why I think it’s sort of weird that GD’s winning this poll lol.

      totally agree! he is my first choice! his school might even produce some of the next kpop stars!

    there’s a reason why gd’s picture is in this article

    • Anonymous

      And an even BIGGER reason why BoA’s picture serves as the headline picture for the article.

  • Anonymous

    GD because of the fact that he has been actively involved in every aspect of his career for most of his career.  On top of that he has quite a few connections in the business and I think his experience as part of big bang will help him a lot in the development of groups similar to Yang Hyun Suk’s experience with Seo Taiji and the Boys has helped him in the growing and development of YG Ent.  While I think BoA’s lengthy career as a solo artist and participation as a stock holder gives her quite a bit of experience the fact that she hasn’t really had that much personal input in her career and the fact that her connections especially in Korea are limited to mostly SMent artists kept me from choosing her first instead of GD.

    • T Hudson

      The only reason why I can’t see GD as the head of his own company is because he seems to attached to YG, and I don’t think he could leave let alone I couldn’t see Papa YG letting him leave ! If anything I can imagine GD and Teddy taking over YG later on (even though se7en should should “inherit” it based solely on seniority) 

      • Anonymous

        Based on seniority either Teddy or Sean would inherit the company and not Se7en. Jinusean and 1Tym debuted before Se7en . In fact if Yang Hyun Suk were to ever step down from YG and wanted to give it one of the artists I think he would end up passing it down to a member of Jinusean or 1Tym because ever since those groups decided to stop promoting they have remained heavily active behind the scenes in the company and probably know a lot about how YGent in run. I don’t think GD would leave YGent but out of the list in the poll I think he had the most makings of a future CEO. I could totally imagine GD being a CEO of a sister company to YGent if YGent were ever to branch out. The only people I could see being a future CEO of YG would be GD and any member of those two groups I mentioned, even though se7en owns a business I just can’t see him running an entertainment company.

  • http://twitter.com/simpledm xelo truo

    When I read the title; I thought of Boa (Probably because I been watching Kpop Stars the show lately). I can see Teddy passing down the torch to GD as a music producer.

    Instead of Jaejoong for JYJ, i would say Yoochun is a more suitable candidate.. I voted for Gdragon though.. he seems talented enough 

  • Anonymous

    Isn’t Jaejoong co-CEO of a restaurant?

  • http://twitter.com/nowheregirl1993 Fatouma

    G-Dragon exudes a lot of confidence, talent musically, and has strong leadership skills. So there is a chance that they could be a good CEO, but it’s still too early to tell. For BoA, I haven’t been into that much to tell how she is personally and how she has diversified her musical talent. Jaejoong is a great singer and has produced a lot of good songs with JYJ, but he still doesn’t seem like CEO material to me. Kahi, Junsu, JeA go under the same category for me. The only somewhat clear choice for me would be G-Dragon out of these choices, but who knows.

     Imo, i think G-Dragon better off following in the footsteps of Teddy and being the songwriter/producer. Or better yet, Big Bang should just create their own company, with each member using their skills to create the best boy band: Taeyang in dancing/singing, Daesung and Seungri with variety skills/singing, Top with rapping, and Gdragon with rapping/songwriting, and G-Dragon could be the CEO by default. Theory Entertainment by Big Bang would be an apt, [punny] title.

    • lisaVIP

      love the idea of a bigbang run company! it could be a sub-company to yg family!

      but i see daesung doing vocals, top doing rap, taeyang doing dance, gd doing songwriting, and seungri as the ceo….

  • lisaVIP

    i actually think it would be Seungri….he already owns his own school.

    i don’t really see GD as a CEO….

  • Anonymous

    I voted GD, but I honestly think it would be Seungri. I think Seungri has more drive to train people and put them out there to get the credit as ‘his creations’, yaknow? Not that that’s a bad thing. For a while now, I’ve thought that YG has such a soft spot for Seungri because he knows they’re really similar. And yeah, he’s already running his own academy.

    But I can also see why people think GD would be a good CEO. He’s got a natural abundance of musical talent, drive, charisma, and leadership skills. But I don’t think he’d actually want to run a company. I think he’d be more interested in the process of making music over the process of making artists. After Big Bang breaks up (or smoothly goes their seperate ways, because we all know BB will not be promoting forever), I can see Seungri going on to start his own budding company while GD enjoys the spoils of his trade (from making so many hits songs) and working as a music producer or big solo artist sunbae.

    Oh! And as some other people have said, I think YG is a part of GD now. He’s basically spent his whole life there. He found himself and his musical identity there and I think he’ll stay with the company, who’s also stuck by him through all his controversies, for a looooong while.

    • Anonymous

      I think I’ll have to agree with your points there. I voted for BOA for the same reason you think Seungri would be better than GD.

      Personally, I see GD becoming the main PRODUCER for YG and the one heading the musical directions for each groups’ comeback in the future. Based on what I’ve seen of GD when he’s off stage, he’s not exactly the mentor type. He’s a bit cool towards strangers and generally has this awe-inducing, intimidating aura about him. Even Taeyang looks to be better at this whole mentoring business than GD is. (I’m thinking back to KPOP Star Auditions, where Taeyang surprised even the PDs with his succinct but effective pointers). 

      I’m also surprised that the writer didn’t include Sunye or Jo Kwon. JYP even stated publicly that he thinks Sunye and Jo Kwon will run the company after he’d stepped down.

    first…i loved the pic of GD!!!!
    I would have picked Seungri  if he was included..he just seems very business savvy! GD has all the qualities in order to make an awesome CEO…but i think he is too attached to YG and so i don’t ever see him leaving YG!

       but i do see GD having his own fashion line pretty soon

    • Literati Tempo

       I could see a fashion line but I also could see him running a Cube Ent like company that kind runs parallel to YGE

  • Literati Tempo

    I voted GD but honestly I can see him working at YGE until it’s given to him once YG is done. BoA might be the one who actually leaves to create her own company. Or maybe they’ll both pull a BI and create a sister company to their Old Companies.

    I love JYJ but I see them making their own company eventually besides that I can honestly see GD in YG for the long haul. =P I don’t disagree with it either.

    G-dragon—>I can see him following papa’s YG’s footsteps in the future.  Maybe being co-owner along with TOPBoa—->She has a lot of connections and training….and she is cut-throat and plus has her mother as a plastic surgeon so would do really well as a CEO.Jaejoong–>He has many personal connections, has persuasive skills and a way with words…..but in the end is too nice.  He wouldn’t be able to be mean to his talents and so probably wouldn’t make that much profit.In the end……..my choice is Boa.  1. she is cut-throat and can sever connections when they don’t meet her expectations and needs (note friendship with jaejoong), 2. she has connections with someone who actually does plastic surgery, 3. she has many connections because of her years of experience, 4. for whatever reason she has been a favorite of LSM and has probably learned techniques from him

    Realistically; I think BoA would become the CEO. She has a lot of shares in SM and I believe she actually owns part of the company. 

  • Anonymous

    I actually think one person who wasn’t even nominated is probably really likely and that is Seungri. I see GD being more of an in-house producer for YG. Something like Teddy. While Seungri already has his training academys so I can see him starting his own entertainment company off of that.

    i dont really know about other idols but for jaejoong, he had always took care of everything in jyj, the company sees this and entrusted him to be JYJ’s concert tour director. from the lightings, costumes, props, sound, music etc2. so why not?

    but i agree though on the comment that he’s just too nice. maybe this wont suit him. he wont dare scold his trainess *.*

    i think the best candidate is GDragon.

      Technically, they were the first members chosen so in essence the groups were built around them with both kahi and especially Jea integral in the recruiting and more involved in the direction of their groups but i doubt they were given free reign they were still under the supervision of their companies. 

      Same with GD he may not of actually of chosen his members but he has a very long experience as a trainee, starting from 2007 he has lead Big Bang creatively by writing most of their singles, so he is trusted by YG with the direction of Big Bang. 

      Most importantly This guy has hype and a big name in the Industry. I can tell you now if a Jea, Kahi, or GD were to start a agency at the same time i’m pretty sure most of the investors would bank on GD. 

      I’m just saying there is a reasoning behind GD being chosen, i’m not sure if he is even interested in the business side of it  though. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/monika.symeonidou Mona Symeonidou

    I hear people choosing seungri but I really think he would want to be the CEO of something he created. YGE is going to go to YGs daughters anyways I think Jo Kwon would actually be the most suitable JYP said so himself. So..yep didn’t vote

      I don’t the poll just means who’s going to ‘inherit’ their company, per se, but also people who may start up their own company from scratch (like YG) or people who will own subsidiaries/sister companies (like Rain).

    SeungRi is probably the next YG CEO if not he’ll make his own company

    Jiyong and Boa. No doubt

  • http://twitter.com/Laava90 Lava

    I voted Boa just because she’s so independent at such a young age, but also Kahi and Jea could because they both took the initiative in starting their own groups.
    For some reason I don’t see G-Dragon starting his own company, I feel like he would comfortably work in a company, prob YG Ent, and just work away creating music, I can’t see him wanting to handle a whole company for some reason.

  • http://www.facebook.com/vschmitz2 Vicky Schmitz

    I think BoA because she’s been in the entertainment industry since she was very young, and kind of already seems to be the face of SMEnt, probably because she also represents SM for Kpop Star (I think that’s the name of the show). Though GD has been with YG forever too, I think he’s too dedicated to BIGBANG, and busy with writing songs to be a CEO. I see him more as a producer, like Teddy, than a CEO

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/YQ53WK5K4DPXQ5DIBKDELB6WPE Camille

    Honestly, I can totally see either BoA or Kangta taking over SME in the future. Both have worked and been famous since they were young. They know the ins and outs of the business, from all the good and all the bad. They have all the connections they need. They have the respect of the rest of the industry despite their young ages.

  • http://twitter.com/lovely_piscian BbabyBee

    I call totally see G-Dragon,Kahi and Jea having their own company and doing well as CEO’s.Not only will they succeeded,but the fact just their name alone will they be profitable to their company.Their experience in the lights and knowing the in’s and out’s of what to bring the music business is actually a plus for them.

  • GracefulCassieShapley

    Honestly, I voted for BoA because out of all the choices I see her as one of the better candidates to be a future CEO. She is not only a share holder at SM, but an idol in the music industry for 10 years…maybe more. 

    BoA has been the industry for the longest out of all the choices. She has not only the experience, but the success that says it all. Don’t look at her now (she’s still popular but not like she used to be), but in her early years….yeah she was super popular, and she is still considered to be an influential icon. She, and DBSK paved the way for future kpop stars to enter Japan. With her success in Korea and Japan, she would know which methods to use to help future kpop stars rise to success. Plus, she seems to be well aware of the trends out there  and she also knows how to pick talent. Not to mention she has composed a few tracks before, not to the extent of JeA or G-Dragon. Even though she wasn’t successful in America, after getting a dose of the American industry, I think she is more equipped with approaching different music industries. She knows what works and what doesn’t work. Besides SME is a business savvy entertainment, even more so then JYPE and YGE, so you would think she would have learned a thing or two. Plus, she seems like a very organized person and she definitely seems CEO material.  

    Although composing abilities are super important, I don’t think that’s what makes a CEO a CEO. A CEO should a good background in the music industry, be able to approach other music industries, know what the current trends are and how to either better them or set new trends, and be business savvy as well.

    of course BoA 

  • Anonymous

    No offense to the people that voted Boa, but I see her more as a follower. I don’t see her as a take charge girl. She seem more like a silent investor or partnership rather than a CEO. The fact that she’s been around in the business for a long time and she just now starting to produce/write her own music…

    I voted GD since he already produce, help direct, write song.  He seem to be a mini mogul already. He also know how to take charge if an event happen whether its bar or good.
    My second vote will be Jaejoong. He know what he want and not afraid to take action on it. Hence the lawsuit. Also didn’t he direct their tour?

  • Anonymous

    This poll is so hard because the people I would pick on this list are so synonymous with their companies that I just don’t see them leaving.  If anything I see them having a label within a label.  G-Dragon I see being more like Teddy within YG.  At the same time I can see him wanting to make his mark on the industry by creating his own brand.  There’s no doubt he’s already an icon and icons usually wind up wanting to strike out on their own and create their own labels.  If he doesn’t have a sub label he would have to leave YG.  BoA I could see running her own label within SM.  Except for Kahi, the other picks don’t register as company CEO’s to me, but even Kahi seems synonymous with Pledis.  Totally surprised Seungri isn’t on this list because I definitely see him having his own label.  Same with Junhyung of Beast.  I could see Yonghwa running his own label to use his star power to maybe make a way for other bands to push their way into the industry.  At the same time, CNBLUE is a band that pretty much wants to stick together for the long haul as of now, so they would have to have a setup where they all could continue to work as a band even if they all moved on to take care of their individual careers.  Considering that all of them are acting except Jongshin (and it’s only a matter of time before he does too), it definitely means that they would want contracts in the future that are beneficial to them as individuals.  I could also see Hyomin running her own label since her time as leader of T-ara was a time T-ara gained a huge amount of success.  It has to be a boost to her ego and probably gave her the confidence that she could take charge in a company of her own later on.  More than Junho, I see Junsu starting his own label.

    Jaejoong is really a CEO^^

  • Anonymous

    I don’t really see people think BoA would make a good CEO. Leading an entertainment company requires more than just experience as an idol. 
    It requires a sense of business, independence, a strong will, lots of people skills with people who are not in the same subset as you, a strong understanding of music and trends, and then drive. 

    While BoA has drive (and lots of it), I don’t really see her having much else of those listed qualities, to be honest. I think she makes a good idol and a good ‘face’ of a company, but being able to lead on her own without direction? I don’t think so. 

  • Anonymous

    Jaejoong and the rest of JYJ are already half way to becoming the CEOs of their own company.  Cjes is their management company, but JYJ is Cjes’s employer.  They pay CJes to do the grunt work of taking care of their schedules, making arrangements for their concerts, contacting various business associates, ect., but JYJ are the ones making all the executive decisions.  No move made by CJes is done without their approval and they have the final say in everything.  In short, they are the bosses.

    Jaejoong in particular, is the creative director of the their world tours and the main architect of their last album, In Heaven.  I am sure that in all their projects, he initiated many of them and also actively participate in the execution of every project.  I bet that since 2009, they have learned a lot about the ins and outs of the music business, especially on how to creatively circumvent obstacles thrown at them.   With such experience in the creative and business side of the music industry, the next logical step would be to establish their own company.   I would vote for all three.

      @sagedip:disqus 

      Yes, i agree with you. After the ordeal that JYJ has been going through is over, I believe that they will want to shelter and nurture new talent. I believe it will become like a calling for them. They have suffered through the difficulties of being with a heartless company that exploited them and left them with nothing to show for their hard work. They will be the best judges of what will make for a great entertainment company that truly honors, remunerates and encourages the artist. I look forward to that day.

    I want to vote for G-Dragon, but he’d probably take after YG or being a producer instead of making his own company, same goes with BoA who will take after SM, and Kahi is probably already like Pledis’ boss now.

    Like others stated below, my vote goes to the nonexistent in this list, Seungri. I remember him mentioning the books he read during Family Outing that shows his ambitiousness and guts. And I also remember YG’s tree comparison about him in Strong Heart, it was said that YG needs to keep “trimming” him because he afraid of Seungri ran to somewhere else with his “wild branches”.

    I voted Junsu. If I were on a game show, I think I would’ve lost… Junsu seems like he would like to be recognized as a true artist and which better way to own a music company?

  • Anonymous

    This is an interesting poll – not surprising to see that Jaejoong’s won it! Is he CEO material? I actually think he could be.
     
    As someone mentioned before, JYJ are effectively their own bosses right now. The decision to move away from SM was definitely not a light one and I think that in itself shows that Jaejoong (and Junsu/Yoochun) are capable of making the tough decisions. Since the move he has assumed control of their work both creatively and commercially as illustrated by his involvement in their recent albums as well as branching out in to directing and acting.
     
    JYJ’s drive to be taken as serious artists rather than idols makes me think that Jaejoong would be quite likely to set up his own company and have the skills to lead it. He has always been known for his work ethic and his determination to succeed so I think both these qualities would support him if he ever decided to venture in that direction. Not to mention the experiences he’s gained while at SM and moreso his experiences of the ‘darker’ side of the entertainment industry since leaving SM.
     
    One of the previous commentors mentioned that he would be ‘too nice’ to be a CEO but frankly that is not a requirement. You can be nice and still be effective – being a despot doesn’t always pay off. I think Jaejoong has it in him to be nice and caring but still achieve the results he needs. Also, as CEO I would expect him to spend more time pondering the direction of the company rather than being involved with trainees on a day to day basis (not to say that he wouldn’t play a big role in that respect but I would assume that there would be other trainers and coaches to deal with this area more regularly).
     
    Having said all of that, I also believe that Kahi and Jea have the potential in them – actually I already see Kahi as somewhat of a business leader given the degree of control she has in terms of deciding what her group does. I would say Junsu has potential and talent but he probably still has some way to go before settling in to a leadership role.
     
    As for BoA and GD while I can see relevant qualities in them I believe they’re both happy where they are and to a large degree their identity is heavily enmeshed with that of their respective company and therefore I wouldn’t expect to see them branch out and establish their own firm. Rather I’d expect to see them gain a prominent role within SM or YG in the longer term.

    lmao I rather surprise to see that people were shock as to why Jaejoong is leading this poll.  You guys don’t know this dude yet, but he’s in fact already a CEO of himself XD  In all honesty, Jaejoong might seem too nice to some people but like someone already mentions, being nice doesn’t make you a weak leader.  You don’t need to scold someone to get their attention, you can just knock some sense into their heads.  Aside from his sincerity, and his playfulness, Jaejoong is actually a very observant person. He’s someone who don’t fear to take risk, and carefully weight his options before making the call.  There’s so much more to this guy than his voice, his face, his fashions, and his personality.
