Daesung, Sandara Park, Minzy, and Se7en compare the dating culture between YG and SM Entertainment

BIGBANG's Daesung and 2NE1's Sandara Park just exposed the hilariously tragic dating culture at YG Entertainment compared to SM Entertainment, and it's pure gold. 

On the 3rd, a new video titled 'Digging through YG's vault: The endless blessing of behind-the-scenes stories' dropped on Daesung's Youtube channel, ZIP Daesung. This episode was a special treat for long-time fans as former YG Family labelmates Se7en, Sandara Park, and Gong Minzy all came together to chat and look back on their old days at the agency.

While they were reminiscing, Daesung mentioned how close everyone used to be, saying, "Back then, we were all constantly together, bickering and having fun. There was great chemistry between everyone."

That's when Se7en decided to playfully tease them and asked, "Did anyone have a 'Some' with someone back then?" For those who are unfamiliar with the term, 'Some' is the popular Korean slang for that heart-fluttering, flirty stage right before two people officially start dating.

Daesung immediately put Dara on the spot, asking, "Noona, was there anyone? Be honest." Sandara denied it right away with a firm "No." She then pointed at an old photo of the YG Family lineup and joked, "Who was even there? Here?" which made everyone in the room burst out laughing. 

But the conversation got even more interesting right after that. Sandara pointed over to a group photo of SM Entertainment artists and said, "But if you look over there..." 

Daesung didn't even hesitate and jumped right in, saying, "There were a lot over there. It was paradise," and Se7en backed him up, adding, "From what I could tell, that place was heaven for people having 'Some.'"

Daesung then brought up an interesting rumor he had heard, "From what I've heard, they even encouraged people to date within the company if they were going to date anyone, because then they could manage it."

Meanwhile, Dara kept it real, replying, "Well, for us... There had to be someone to date in the first place." Even Minzy chimed in, stating, "There were none. Absolutely none."

Wrapping up the hilariously dry dating era, Daesung joked, "That's probably why people had no choice but to call us talented. We couldn't afford to get distracted."
