He added, "Both teams are in YG Entertainment and there are similar points between them such as that they release self-composed music. So although we're thankful that they're receiving interest, in the perspective of the producers, the fans, and the members, the comparison is uncomfortable. I think that kind of comparison or competition is unnecessary and not right."
