What is YGEX?
A birth of a record label dedicated exclusively to YG FAMILY!
The name is "YGEX", attributing to the collaboration of YG FAMILY "YG" with AVEX "EX".
"EX" also inspired by words like "EXPERIENCE" and "EXCLUSIVE", carries connotations of it being the one and only label you can experience YG FAMILY.
The collaboration between YG, not bound to just Asia now spreading as a worldwide trend "YG POP", and AVEX who has always innovated and led the Japanese music scene, is definitely a match up bound to create a new and unpredictable form of entertainment.
