YG Entertainment has announced that they have abstained members of their up-and-coming rookie female group from undergoing cosmetic surgery which, is considered an odd move in the Kpop industry.
The reason for this is because many of them are still young and they think it's best to portray them as they are, without being "overly made up". Last week YG released an au naturale picture of rookie member, Kim Ji-Soo, who's yet to make her debut.

They've also recruited a few girls to form a group but according to them, not all of them will "make it" into the group.

banning it is bizarre but at least we know they're not facing pressure to get it.
Yesp, especially since YG seems to like calling his girls "ugly"
Who cares, really.

idk yg where you are trying to go with this but good luck.
i don't see how that's beneficial.
it's a good news, in theory, and i'd be glad all the companies to be that way.
Now the thing is, will auditioning for YG become a model audition too now. Meaning they'll only take and give achance to good looking people. If you look common and normal and plain, if you're the average korean girl or boy, you'll stand no chance, whatever your talent. :/ idk.
and, i'm not sure how to take the "on rookies" part. does that mean that once they're no more rookies they'll make them go through plastic surgery, and they're saying this only to not pressure the young ones ? :/
