In the eight-episode show, Seungri, a member of boy band Big Bang, plays a fictionalised version of himself appointed as senior adviser to the fictional division of YG Entertainment.

The FSO is depicted as a core division responsible for developing strategies and future business plans to help YG outperform its rivals and survive against tough competition.

In the show, Seungri's character is rumoured to have been promoted to the key position with the strong backing of YG founder Yang Hyun-suk, who exerts real influence there.

On his first day as senior adviser, Seungri encounters various unexpected things.

Contrary to the gravity of the title, YG FSO is a hilarious show which unravels various “raw, untold stories and dirty secrets” behind the glitz and glamour of show business, particularly within YG.
