As if YG Entertainment wasn't a big enough entity already. The entertainment giant will be launching its own eBay store called, the YG Store.
The new eBay store will serve as an outlet for overseas fans to get their hands on Big Bang's special edition album, not to mention other YG artist memorabilia.
With YG Store's opening, Big Bang will launch their very own special corner under eBay Celebrity, making them the first Korean artist to make such a move. Through this corner, the group will make items like signed CDs available and then donate the proceeds to charity.
Though YG is unique in launching such a project, eBay Korea's Na Yong-ho mentioned that there are currently 10,000 collectibles related to Hallyu or Korean Wave stars on eBay. This just goes to show the level of popularity that Korean entertainment has achieved.
YG also commented, "With the rise in the demand from international fans, we hope to make it easier for them to buy merchandise through the opening of this eBay store."
