thoughts about yg/winner again...

The way yg treats Winner is so singular and monumentally questionable. I have considered all content from both Ikon and Winner and it is apparent that not only is there a concrete disparity in opportunity and promotion, but there is also a difference in cognitive approach. There have been instances where yg has trespassed against Winner through tactics of humiliation, specialized scorn, and emotional manipulation. Instances that come to mind; yg manipulating Winner into a false sense of security only then to criticize their complacency, yg blaming Winner for promotional failings out of their control, it is not certain it was yg, but there were indeed staff members at yg entertainment who warned trainees to steer clear of Nam Taehyun for supposed homosexuality establishing a habitat for hostility which resulted in aggressions made towards him, guilt tripping Winner, telling members like KSY to stop writing music which is not only cruel but counterproductive and counterintuitive to the group’s foundation, toying with their sensitivity, and constant threats to disband them or put them in the army. I could go on, but It’s self evident if you compare the content. I feel like I can authoritatively say that this experience is different than Ikon’s. Everyone who points out unfair treatment is misunderstood and accused of being a “hater” but I have watched everything available with Ikon, and I would not waste my time doing so on a premise of hate. With Ikon, yg is much more fatherly and professional. He compliments them greatly, especially compared to Winner. He encourages them, and puts total faith in them. He is simply supportive. On shows like Mix and Match and Win, Ikon members can sometimes become uncomfortable if they are not given feedback or compliments, meanwhile Winner was afraid of criticism the whole time. Ikon is given constructive criticism, while yg will say things to Winner that is not constructive and only works to inhibit their confidence. Overall, this is something greatly overlooked and undiscussed. This on top of the greatly discussed promotional disparity brings me to the conclusion that yg has either something personal against Winner, or something personal towards Ikon. Though I can’t say what.
