I think it's really possible that something must be wrong with the new management since everyone started to leave after Jay Park left his position as CEO.
Maybe management made Jay Park leave as well. It is owned by CJ&M. Jay probably did not like the route it’s heading to, and even though he is CEO, he still does not have 100% say, so he left and made more vision
This makes sense to me. If it is true, must suck to have the company you built up break down like this and have no say or control over the situation
Pretty sure after all the backlash from his drop for DNA remix, they forced him to step down. They can't carry on without him. He is the glue
So basically without Jay Park, the company is finished
Yup
Actually it’s kinda true. Jay park play a major part in AOMG!
He did make aomg the powerhouse it was
JYP block jaypark because he wants to be the only jay park name in industry lol😂
He has new company now he already signed with jessi and chunha so I guess everyone will be going there😂
Creativity is the reason why all the artiste joined AOMG. If they cant do their own shit, there is no point being there.
sad to see aomg going down so quickly. it used to be great but i really think that the issue lies in the company and any artist (even if they worked on a staff side as well) was feeling the burden they were causing
Same goes to 88rising for example. They all had their run, hard to stay at the top forever
yea it’s something going on bc no way in just two months they lost the main rappers the ones from the beginning back to back . that’s so suspicious
I need to go back to 2016-2018. Undefeated era for Jay Park, AOMG and H1ghr. aomg needs Jay back. They never should have signed meenoi lol smh
Jay has another label now though why go back
frrrrr
I’m confused what did meenoi do?
The company is not as successful, Artists are leaving to explore better opportunities
But AOMG was pretty big. One usually doesn't need to be deep in khh to listen to one of their artists
Everything went downhill when Jay Park left
They were actually pretty successful
@@hooraayyikr 2016-19 AOMG and even H1GHER were killing it.. I am not a K-pop fan but was heavily into KHH😅
Probably the worst move is AOMG signed a partnership deal with CJE&M..
Exactly. CJ&M ruining the vision they had, so everyone slowly left
What are you talking about? They signed with CJ not that long after the company was founded, and everything was just fine all these years. In fact, thanks to CJ the AOMG artists were able to appear on a lot of tv shows. The problem started when JP left since he was the very pillar of the company, and then DJ Pumpkin leaving was also a major blow.
@@idemandapeach Because thing change, they signed under the premise that all creative music decision will ultimately still be up to AOMG, but since CJ is after all a public company, what the shareholder wants and interest will eventually be at the top, so if the shareholders sentiments change and they wanted more money and less freedom for AOMG, they can't do anything about it, hence probably why Jay Park stepped down, and then everyone started leaving, that should be a good giveaway.
Wrong. You know nothing
Lee Hi is so talented. I hope she joins 131, she'd really be looked after and I think she'd make brilliant music.
honestly i could see that happening, since her and B.I are really good friends i woulden't be suprised if B.I offered her a deal, since he has already taken in reddy and Leo
@@ito1466 If she joined him, I'd really look forward to whatever music they made, Their collabs, and what he's written for her are some of the tracks I listen to most.
Actually 131 is pretty bad at managing its artists like the staffs can't even upload the songs on streaming platforms properly .a False collab song between B.I and a russian artist was uploaded on streaming platforms and it took several days for the staff to notice. 131 current CEO is more focused on her another label . So Lee Hi should go to Epik high's label or Windfall entertainment (The Rose's label).
@@kokhant-jq7xi true true but let's not forget they are just recently taking in artist like reddy and Leo so hopefully they will become better at managing their current and future artist
@@kokhant-jq7xi Maybe dean's label could be an option
So many amazing artists and songs came from AOMG. It's sad that artists are leaving the company 😢
Right
I haven't actively participated in kpop/khiphop news in over a decade to see aomg fall so hard so fast is so upsetting to see, actually all the insanity in that sphere lately has been a bummer to see
I don't know why on the thumbnail is JAY PARK, when CEO of AOMG now is Yoo Deok Geon (Jay Park's manager from many years ago), before her it was DJ Pumkin 🤌🤌
Because everything start going down after he left
I mean.... Jay created AOMG and Higher Music. Also shit started going downhill when he left
They were probably trying to make it look like he was a problem and people left because they didn't like him. This channel is good for that
@@LovelyKissess I'm in full agreement with u .
uhm...he FOUNDED aomg?
OMG! I didn't know anything until I watched this. All I know that Jay Park stepped down as CEO in AOMG. And now, all the greatest artist of Hiphop leaves AOMG. Maybe, something is happening. I guess, Kian84 will leave as well after the contract expires. He is know to be close with Simon D and Code Kunst
As a long time fan this is very very heartbreaking to watch
Same
It’s simple because my boy Jay park ain’t there 💯💯 to me it was at its peak when he was the CEO 🔥❤️
It's CJ E&M.. I guess they wanted more control.
Well, everyone leaving
It must be hell
this is so sad to see.. i love aomg so much 😭
I told ya... This year is MESSY!!! F-ING MESSY!!!!!!!
As a khip hop Stan like im confused but not surprised. This happened with higher music too, (jay park used to own it too lmao) where some of their best artists just left? and now its happening with aomg too... and surprise jay park made another company recently, more vision, which has been having controversies with Jessi.. Im just hoping one of the artists , possibly gray or dj, makes a label that they can all be in :( and where he just won't leave the company for an outside person/company. on a side note, im so glad I skipped uni for the aomg concert now lmao
Jessi is terrible im sorry...jay trying the best and she doesnt know what she wants
H1GHR music is still good the one who left doesn't left because they have conflict they left because they are now successful and have their own company
Its sad because it was the best company
It’s sad that all I hear for kpop news recently is artists leaving their company. I’m glad the groups I love and follow haven’t done that and don’t feel like they want to. But on this topic, I do want to ask that I noticed more artists are leaving and starting up their own companies. First of all, do they start their own companies using their own money that they’ve earned as artists? Second of all, is it really that easy nowadays to start your own company (especially with how competitive the kpop industry is with all the companies that already exist)? Third of all, do these artists even have business or Econ knowledge enough to be CEOs and lead their companies well? And fourth, if not, how is that going to work if you as the CEO don’t even know much about business or Econ and you’re leading even if you hire people who do know those areas well? Them doing all the work and professional thinking won’t cut it while the CEO doesn’t contribute their knowledge as much as they could or should.
They more than likely use part of their Mon and search for investors/stakeholders for the rest. And starting a business even with connections and resources already established isn’t always easy but it can help make things easier than if you had no connections or reputation established. With the industry being a saturated as it is, only the ones who stay focused and really put foot to payment will succeed. That means meetings between potential clients, investors explaining your vision, funding etc. if they can’t do that as well gain a stabile foothold so that any future artist of theirs has an actual platform/space to grow their craft then they won’t last long. They might not even get up off the ground with it. However you never know a lot of these artist now a days have degrees in possibly benefiting areas. So maybe they might know some business maybe not. Only time will tell.
Jay Park is forever the head of AOMG and HIGHER Music
I’m just confused as to why Jay Park keeps opening new labels instead of just focusing on one. Isn’t he on his third label? What’s the story there?
He wanted something new
Watch the video. He left those labels in 2021. Literally says it there. He only has More Vision, which he started some time after leaving AOMG and Higher Music in CJ E&M's hands. You wouldn't be so confused if you watched what you commented on.
Both aomg and h1gher were very stable in his hand. He can afford to manage 2 label at the same time.
CJ E&M has acquired part of AOMG like 8 years ago, any business needs an exit plan. Everyone at AOMG has gotten their sweet money now focus onto the next thing.
Everything was because he wants to help, provide, and elevate people around him and making platforms where they are free creatively and Individually to do so. Because he weren't as fortunate at JYP and Sidus HQ - He initially wanted to work and collab with people that he wanted to without having it decided.
Reason for H1ghr Music (2017): (in Jay Park's RUclips Originals docu-series "Chosen 1") He weren't allowed to expand AOMG worldwide (likely because of CJ & others on board) - Meaning that he couldn't sign ppl from outside kr. as he wanted to bridge gabs culturally by having artists from Seattle & US to Korea & Asia. He had people who he'd worked with / mentored and at the same time wanted to help out the seattle music scene or at least be part of it. - That's why when you look at H1ghr's history, it already had people signed from the beginning like pH-1, Sik-k, Yultron, GroovyRoom, Woogie, Phe Reds (who's part of Jay & Cha cha's bboy group AOM), and seattle artists Avatar Darko/28AV, Jarv Dee, and Raz Simone.
At the end of the day, it also made it more convenient to seperate from "veteran" (AOMG) and "Rookies" (H1ghr) and because of the number of people suddenly joining. Jay got more freedom and simultaneously could make a platform for new artist and uplift/elevate them to "the next level" hence why it got it's name H1ghr.
As for why he left as CEO AOMG (2013- Dec' 21) and H1ghr (2017- Dec'21): Like the Creator of this video said, Jay had expressed that he might want to leave soon and he is considering to retire some day. Another thing is, that around that time - he felt as it being the right moment for him as there weren't "more he could do" as a buisness man and CEO at these places and that all artists had come to a point where Jay felt was "self-sufficient" to leave but not completly.
Creator didn't mention that while he decided to step down, he would actually not leave them entirely but would take on an advisor role for his labels. He could still be part of them, help them, and all that he'd done but weren't in charge of the buissnes side or being their CEO - alot of artists under those labels still calls him their boss even when Jay wants to be adressed/ treated as a regular honorific title like "hyung". And it's still something he stands by, as he'd been by both labels around his birthday this year, performed/ worked with these labels' artists. He stepped down around december of 2021, and you see him at festivals afterwards perform with AOMG artists or H1ghr, Had a set on Rolling loud Thailand and brought H1ghr with him, and in recent weeks was part of H1ghr music's party at a club and helped with announcing LilBoi as their new artist and gave his H1ghr chain to lilboi.
lastly for More Vision: Not only is this where his last musical career chapter will be and where first of all wants to finally get more music out and likely have his last tour before he then decides to retire from music. Jay had expressed for years that yes, he would retire soon, but had also at one point (2018 if i'm not wrong) that he would love to start his own idol group, where he would do it with his own spin on it (probably change the view on how idols and trainees are "built") and he got that oppotunity to do so with help from partners ( NOT CJ, But with KAKAO) He has showcased his dancers more, and a lot of these dancers like HolyBang and MVP has been his dancers since when he went solo (those dance crews has gone under different names, but a lot of the members been the same), but mostly were on his stages/sets performing and now has use of this new venture aswell.
Sorry for the lenghty comment. I didn't know ahead of time that i would yap that much. My take for Jay's duty as CEO under AOMG/H1ghr ending and taking on More Vision: Essentially it comes down to Jay watning to help and provide people with oppotunities to grow and make music, which he; I guess in his mind couldn't do or didn't make sense to have him be these artists "caretaker, safety net, mentor" for, but he still wanted be at a distance close enough to still be there - Then gets this new purpose (More Vision) to help out new artists and build up trainee program and eventually set up boy/girl groups in the coming years.
I have been telling ppl 88rising will be the new AOMG
im confused 88rising has been around almost as long aomg and has been popular?
88rising is an american company they can't be the "new aomg"
lol they lost all the best roster they got
@@curiositykilledthekat woow rally!! i had no idea??? girl ik obviously i didn't mean it in that way
@@Vmeen08 Their big names are still there, no? Rich Brian, NIKI, BIBI, Atarashii Gakko, Joji, etc. Artists like Chungha, Jackson and joji just also have another label (e.g. More Vision, Team Wang and plummcorp, respectively) as well, but they're technically still a part of 88r - although they (Chungha especially) haven't really done anything with them in a while, to be fair. I haven't heard any news about Higher Brothers in a minute, but IIRC they're still a part of the outfit, just focusing on solo stuff I think
I’m so glad that Wheein didn’t join AOMG.
She's lucky the Live is still functioning with Ravi on the blacklist.
Was she going to?
@@justacutie5201 it was rumored in the news that she was likely join AOMG.
@@justacutie5201 she is with TheL1ve, though that might not be much better considering its founder Ravi is in legal trouble for trying to duck military service
@@justinnyugen7015apparently if u look deeper into it that’s not what actually happened
After jay park left....without him its not aomg
Looking back it's seriously bad ass for jay park to get kicked out of kpop, start his own label in the states and bring it back to korea to be the music company for korean hip hop.
and get blocked by JYP in music shows lol
He literally started from the bottom. Now he's a K-hip hop legend.
Just hope they can still make music somehow. Yugyeom just started his solo career i'm looking forward to him❤🎉🎉
I need yugyeom out of that company asap. I was happy that after jype yugyeom was with jay park cause he gave creative freedom to artist but now all left
Tbh i just think khiphip in general is on the decline in comparison to a couple years go. Internationally but also in Korea. Smtm got way too repetitive. Jay parks move of creating a more pop label makes a lot of sense if this true.
Ohh Leehi left AOMG??
Yes on march this year
@@thestarshinesobrightly thanks for the info. I was wondering why has she been so quiet after only released one album. Hope to hear from her soon
@@eslnter yeah. After releasing one album and releasing single each for every year only. They didn't even promote her work. aomg makes yg looks better 😂. Maybe she need to make her own lable to manage her
@@thestarshinesobrightly ye YG definitely did a better job. All her promotion in YG were very successful.
@@thestarshinesobrightly Or maybe YG is a bigger and known company compared to AOMG which is mid size.. They will always overshadow mid size companies especially a hiphop company
TLDR: JP got bored of running the company and jumped ship. Others didn't want to sink along with the ship without its leader. Tbh i'm sure there are more drama behind the scene that contributes to the ship (company) sinking, but ofcourse with no certainty, as with all kpop companies, they always seal the lips of their employees shut with contracts & NDAs.
I just care about what Yugyeom is gonna do....
💚💚💚
Jay Park doing his own thing while JYP is still trying to block him years later is insane. Old man needs to chill
Yugyeom :((
I thought he was under h1er probably spelled that wrong music?
@@brennathecatlover4360 jay park was a CEO of both AOMG and h1gher music
@@brennathecatlover4360It was JayB but he left I think last year or 2 years ago
@@thaaatsenoughinternetfortoday no I meant yugyeom I forgot which one he was under
@@Ahgase7for7 ohhh okkk
Making up rumors and assumptions are we now?. I'll just wait to see what happens
My Yugyeomi should leave soon 🔜
I remember when he stepped down as CEO, I literally cried lmfao
Jay Park did found the new label More Vision where Jessi for example signed last year :)
thank you for the video
i was trying to understand what was going on
it’s sad to see such an amazing and talented company go downhill
i really would not say meenoi was on the wrong side... i mean, they used her signature without her consent, usually this is taken seriously lol
how about hoody and devita? do they still in the company?
Oh Jay, take back your labels and rise high. Luck and love be with the artists who's music I've love so much.
It is incredibly hard to be both an executive and an artist at the same time. You will always prioritize one over the other. If you're going to start a company, it's best to have a business person be the CEO instead of an artist.
Aomg had crazy good artists, hopefully aomg bounces back. On the other note, jay is back with great music
It’s cus Jay Park made the money go around and brought more eyeballs. With him leaving, this was bound to happen.
It’s weird tho because doesn’t Jay Park have a new label now? So why did he step down from his original label.
Nothing was left for him to do he wanted a new challenge.
He said that many times...just search
i had a major k hip hop phase in 2020 so this is sad for me
I miss them 😭
Jay Park then started another label New Vision
More
All this aside, it should be made illegal to interfere with other artists trying to appear in music shows. Companies who do that should pay very large fines, on top of getting ridiculed by people. Huge egos and cruelty are too much of a problem in this industry.
Maybe they all are gonna go to More Vision?
jay park was an artist before he was a business man so he understood them (the artists) and allowed them to be themselves and do their own thing and now that he's not CEO anymore they probably aren't getting the same treatment and understanding
i’ve never been this early to a video
Yugyeom my honey i hope you will be ok i am rooting for u babe❤
People acting like Jay Park's departure caused their troubles when in fact the company was in trouble well before that, the pandemic was basically the last nail in the coffin for AOMG/H1gher because these alt., hip-hop artists don't sell much, artists and companies rely heavily on live shows for revenue, and those were halted for quite some time. I think Jay Park's strategy of making a crossover between K-hip-hop and K-pop idols was a clever one, I don't think everyone within the company agreed with him though, why he left and started all over again with the understanding that to be profitable you need to be commercial. And it's not like AOMG/H1gher weren't commercial but there was a lot of pretentiousness and acting like they were not. I suspect everyone involved learned a real lesson in humility from this.
There is always three sides to a story and change is the only constant 🤷🏼♀
more vision is waving
it will be funny if they join More Vision now
I was just trying to to explain to my roommate that I’m so confused on why it seemed to be crumbling when it was such a powerhouse
It’s like a school closed down when the principal left, not a big deal. Life goes on, ppl grow apart but we will surely miss it 😢
Yugyeom might actually leave AOMG before doing his military service
10:21 girl... ur Min heejin obsession is getting outta hand.
And this is why artists should be educated in financial literacy and attending leadership training like every other job. Synergy and consistency is the key to success. This always the issue when artist start companies, they think their talent and drive is enough.
Watch the video. This sh-t started going down AFTER Jay Park left. Stop being ignorant.
The company is doing so well and at it's height when Jay Park still in it. He left 2 years ago and the label is in decline after that.
Girly acting like an a-lister while being a RUclips covers singer 😂😂😂
Who?
Please say why everyone is leaving
*sips tea*😌
I knew something was wrong when code decided to leave
Is Yugyeom still in AOMG?
The moment DJ Pumpkin stepped down, that was the sign for the artists to leave...
Khh labels just seem to be failing. A lot of ppl on the rap labels out there are in jail or in some kind of scandal. But I thought AOMG would withstand the test of time smh 😢
Damn happy I went to their concert before most of them left 💀
not the "minheejin type of press conference" 💀💀💀
It’s getting crazy
So that’s what happened. I was wondering where they’ve all been.
Ya'll need to learn how to watch the video before commenting. A lot of ignorant junk being thrown around that the video clearly addresses. The departure of all these artists started after Jay Park left. Only goes to show that management must've tanked after he left.
crazy how jay left his own company just to start another company more vision. usually ceo's like yg stay at their label for decades
AOMG....I miss it
What's becoming of kpop😮
I bet the bigger company is to blame
Okay. Gray is sooooo handsome. I am melting
BRING JAY PARK BACK RN!
We want our boss jay park back pls😢
I'm too early
Обычная болезнь роста компании,
No AOMG? RIP KR HIPHOP!
The real reason greed money changes people usually for the worst!
Leaving AOMG??...why so? What gives?
We never really liked Menoi in the first place 😅 that duck and go take a walk
Yugyeom 😭
End of an era
But no matter what forever h1ghr and aomg gang from jaypark ceo era> thanks to this man hardwork we didn't missed out on these talented artist
Hope the other artist joined jay park new Company.
Their downfall was Meenoi.
Wait..........I thought AOMG was "Always On My Grind"???? When did they change it?
No money in it anymore. I haven't heard a good bop in a while. They all go pop eventually. Dok2 carried the 'coolness' of it until he left the country.
He left because he owes money in Korea lol He's avoiding paying tax also
So why leave HIGHER THEN? and ho established another Agency?....
Meenoi is such a good variety personality though 😭 poor baby.
I thought it was Off Jumpol 🤦♀️
