"Current Affairs Magazine 2580" reported that Sony ATV Music sent a letter of warning to YG Entertainment regarding the use of music without their permission and prohibited the use of the songs until further notice. This is the list of the songs plagiarized which made it to news.
Some even made to music textbooks.
(10) "No Plastic Surgery"+"Fashion" Media Play

YG has always claimed that he only cares about talent and he brainwashed people that his singers are not idols but real musicians, although he kept marketing them as an idol group. Heavy makeup, plastic surgery, height manipulation,
fashion, fan service, promotions... If they are real musicians and YG doesn't care about appearance, why does he market his idols with these? Epik High are also a hiphop group but they don't come to the front with any of these. An idol doesn't mean being talentless.
What distinguishes an idol group from a non-idol group is the promotion tactics but Yang Hyun Suk used this tactic to belittle the other idol groups and make his groups look like they are on a different level from the other groups,
yet he didn't stop media playing his groups with using the other idols' name.
(11) Sajaegi

"JTBC went behind the scenes of how digital sajaegi happens and found that sajaegi companies would use hundreds of cell phones in a factory to stream a song on top of using thousands of fake IDs that are only fans of one specific artist.
The first singer they mentioned was a rookie boy group from a huge agency who ranked #1 in just an hour. iKON debuted 6 days before this news and ranked #1 on all digital charts. The pics JTBC blurred belonged to iKON. JTBC also stated that not just rookie groups,
but veteran idol groups do sajaegi too." YG denied it and welcomed them for investigation but we know that brokers do it for the entertainment companies. (note: This was JTBC's claim. wasn't proven)
(12) Fake SNS Accounts

The the day when Chanyeol surpassed G-Dragon on Instagram, bot account pack stepped in.

It's not only on the day Chanyeol surpassed him. He loses hundreds to thousands of followers (bot accounts expire) and then he gains them back as a whole.
There is unusual increases/decreases in his follower numbers.
Note that if an account gains 4000 followers but loses 3000 followers, the status will show +1000 followers. It's strange that an inactive account that keeps losing followers also have a big increase in followers. If you compare G-Dragon (selfies) and Chanyeol's photos when they
had equal followers, Chanyeol's photos had x2 more likes. It's not only for G-Dragon. Bigbang and 2NE1 accounts are the same. Is it because they promote in the west?
(13) Concert Audience Manipulations

Concerts are the #1 source of income for companies. Please read and watch the pics carefully. Here is the biggest manipulation.
YG always announces that his groups' concert and fan meeting tickets are all sold out even though you can still see them on sale but actually they can't even fill the concert areas. None of them. Although they can't fill the concert areas, you will see that their audience number
is even more than the concert field's max concert capacity.
✘ JAPAN ✘
I will take Bigbang as an example since they are the top touring group of YG and the Kpop group that is thought to attract the most audience,which is not true. I will compare them with TVXQ, the Kpop group that actually attracted the most audience, especially in Japan
The current audience number in total:

Bigbang: 6,019,500 (4,736,500 audience from Japan)
TVXQ: 5,922,296 (4,898,296 audience from Japan) -Their upcoming Japan tour is not included
->TVXQ and Bigbang's concert audience in Japan are very close.
First off, let's see the max concert capacity of the 5 major domes and the audience number Bigbang and TVXQ are reported to have brought for each tour:
Tokyo Dome= 55,000 spectators

Kyocera Dome = 45,000 spectators

Fukuoka Dome =42,000 spectators

Nagoya Dome= 46,500 spectators

Sapporo Dome= 40,000 spectators
Bigbang's audience at Japan domes. 
(It's always the same number of audience for each concert)
TVXQ's audience in Japan domes
the difference between 2.
Tokyo Dome(55,000)=> Bigbang 55,000 /TVXQ 55,000 
Osaka Dome(45,000)=> Bigbang 50,000/ TVXQ 45,000
Fukuoka Dome(42,000)=> Bigbang 50,000 / TVXQ 42,000 
Nagoya Dome(46,500)=> Bigbang 40,750 / TVXQ 46,500 
Sapporo Dome(40,000)=> Bigbang 45,000/ TVXQ 40,000
•Summary: According to (YG) reports, 
-> Bigbang's Japan concerts draws more audience than TVXQ's.
-> Bigbang's Japan concerts' audience number exceeds the venues' max seating capacity, which is impossible.
YG always release concert photos with camera angle cheat so the audiece look really big but now let's see the concert area difference between 2 from fancams.
• SAPPORO DOME, max concert cap: 40,000
TVXQ 40,000 / Bigbang 45,000
->Sapporo Dome's representative to Japanese music magazine Jmania:

"(Due to the city's low population and location, which is separate from the other cities) Sapporo Dome is the event area which is the most difficult to attract audience among the 5 major domes.
The only acts that can fill Sapporo Dome are Arashi and TVXQ. Even EXILE and SMAP have a hard time filling it."
OSAKA/KYOCERA DOME, max concert cap: 45,000
TVXQ 45,000 / Bigbang 50,000
There is 5 floors at Kyocera Dome and the max concert capacity of it is 45,000. You can draw max 45,000 audience only when you open the 4th and the 5th floors. Bigbang doesn't even open the 4th and 5th floors as TVXQ do, yet they manage to draw 5,000 more spectators than then and
even exceed the max capacity.
Even the biggest J-Pop group Arashi is reported to attract max 45,000 audience at Kyocera Dome. Arashi performed there over 60 times for all of their career but they have never exceeded 45,000. 
If you check the reports, the only acts reported to attract 50,000 audience at
Kyocera Dome are only BigBang, iKON and Blackpink. Of course, it's according to YG.
• TOKYO DOME, max concert cap: 55,000
TVXQ 55,000 / Bigbang 55,000
SHINee's Tokyo Dome Fanmeeting/Mini concert
Bigbang's Tokyo Dome Fanmeeting/Mini Concert
3rd floor is closed again. It's the largest floor of Tokyo Dome. Yet these fan meetings made it to the news as "Bigbang filled the whole Tokyo Dome with 360-degree dome performance."
Now let's take a look at MADE's audience numbers:
As if "sold out" concert manipulations are not enough, YG reports the audience numbers more than the max concert capacity. According to YG, MADE world tour is the biggest tour ever in Kpop with 66 concerts and 1,500,000 attendance
This is how they drew Forbes' attention. Because they did a WORLD TOUR with 1,500,000 audience. So Forbes ESTIMATED their income $44 million USD since YG reported that all tickets are sold out.
With this tour, Bigbang also "surpassed" TVXQ and became the top touring group in
Japan in 2015-2016.
• YG posted this on YGEX, official Japanese website of YG, after MADE tour: "Bigbang,the pride of Asia, are the first foreign artists with the record of 911,000 audience in the history in Japan." 
The post also says that Bigbang attracted 165,000 audience at
Yanmar Nagai Stadium in 3 days.
->However, Yanmar Stadium's official website says the  capacity of the stadium is 50,000. So Bigbang exceeded the max capacity with 15K for 3 days again.
