[NEWS] G-DRAGON & TOP WILL RE-RELEASE THEIR 1st ALBUM WITH A NEW COVER
Get ready to add another album to your collection, VIPs, because GD&TOP will re-release their first album with a brand new cover next month. YG Entertainment updated their fans on their decision to change GD&TOP’s logo on their official website with a news posting on June 29th.
The post reads:
“Hello. This is YG Entertainment.
We thank you all for supporting GD&TOP’s first album, which was released back on December 24th of last year.
GD&TOP’s logo, as stated before in many interviews, was designed combining a rabbit, in recognition of the year of the rabbit, and a fist holding up a V-sign that stands for victory.
It was based off of Playboy Enterprises International Inc.’s rabbit design logo.
However, our company didn’t receive permission from Playboy, who has trademark rights for their rabbit logo, and we’re not involved with Playboy in any shape or form.
Therefore, to prevent any confusion, we’ve accepted Playboy’s polite request and have decided to stop using GD&TOP’s rabbit logo.
We will suspend sales for GD&TOP’s album, and release a NEW COVER version starting in July.
Please show your love and support for the newly designed ‘GD&TOP First Album New Cover Ver.‘ (all songs will be the same).
Thank you!!”

[PIC] KOREAN MUSIC WAVE 2011 OFFICIAL CONCERT POSTER
G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang and Seungri are really looking forward to seeing their Singapore fans!
[CLIP] BIGBANG & TAEYANG WERE MENTIONED BY THELMA AOYAMA
Translation
MC: You’ve collaborated with BIGBANG SOL before right?
Thelma: SOL was the first overseas artist that I collaborated with. Artists in Korea are very stoic [disciplined]. They have a strong sense of professionalism. On the MV set, he kept on practicing and singing.
MC: Very devoted. What is the real (face) of SOL like?
Thelma: We filmed an MV together. That was the first time we spent a long time together. SOL is so shy.
MC: Yes?
Thelma: He is a shy boy so if we leave him alone, he is like this (she pretends to be SOL at 0:45)
MC: Really?
Thelma: But when we talk with staff saying things like – yeah! he can enjoy saying/acting like …. So if we talk to him, he would be very pleased.
MC: I see – a little bit like me.
Thelma: Really?
MC: Yes, if nobody talks to me, I am all quiet.
Thelma: Kidding ?
MC: I think I’m lying (laughs.) What is the charm of Bigbang?
Thelma: The charm? Each member has their own position [role]. G-dragon has leadership. Like at rehearsal, he has the ability to put the group together as leader. Top(‘s ) is Rap. Sol(‘s) is Dance and Singing. D-lite(‘s) is singing and he does MC too. VI’s is talk show and he does solo too. Everybody is multi-talented.
MC: Did you actually did meet all of them?
Thelma: I have, I have. A couple of times.
MC: Really? Where did you meet them?
Thelma: At the concert and we went out and had a meal together.
MC: You guys are that close.
Thelma: Yeah.
MC: The friendship is deep!!
Thelma: (waving hand and shy)
MC: You!! Wow!
Thelma: Wow! (laughs)
MC: Please watch the clip BIG BANG!!
MC: That was the BigBang concert clip! How was it?
Thelma: I went to the one at Makuhari.
MC: You saw this?
Thelma: Yeah, yeah. Very powerful live.
MC: That’s right. And this, this hand move is so cool. I want to use it somehow from now on…
Thelma: Where?
MC: OK now please watch the MV of Thelma where she collaborated with SOL. What is the highlight of the MV?
Thelma: The stage has front side and back side. And it’s turning around. There were quite a lot of complaints that it made them dizzy. And I thought – I have done it(laughs) But it’s a good MV so please watch! Thelma Aoyama and BigBang SOL – Fall in Love!

[NEWS] LAWYER: DAESUNG MAY RECEIVE MINOR,LESSER CONVICTION IN MOTORCYCLIST'S DEATH
MANILA, Philippines – Following the declaration of the Seoul Yeong Deung Po Police last June 24 that tagged Big Bang member Daesung as the suspect in the death of a motorcyclist that her ran over with his car last May 31, thousands of fans are asking what will happen to the K-pop idol.
Daesung has been indicted without detention. The case is now with Korean prosecutors who will determine what laws have been violated and what charges will be filed against the singer.
Korean media said that Daesung is facing up to five years in prison and a fine of 20 million won (about P803,000).
Bulletin Entertainment sought the opinion of an American lawyer in Seoul regarding Daesung’s case and he says that the singer may end up getting minor and lesser punishment.
Lawyer Michael Sawyer, who works at the Department of Law at Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea, said if the incident happened in the US, Daesung would probably be charged with two crimes: speeding (a less serious crime) and criminally negligent homicide/manslaughter.
The Korean police and the National Forensic Service investigations showed that the victim, Hyun, who was lying on the road after his motorcycle hit a lamppost, died after Daesung’s car ran over him. It was also shown that Daesung was speeding, driving at 70 to 80 km per hour, beyond the limit of 60 km per hour.
Sawyer, who is a practicing attorney in the US and not in South Korea, said criminally negligent homicide/manslaughter can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances and state law (if the crime occurred in the US).
He said in the US, there would be at least two legal issues. The first is whether Daesung’s careless inattention/negligence to keep a clear lookout onto the road in front of his car contributed to the accident.
The second is if his speeding contributed to the accident, Sawyer said. The Korean police said the victim’s body was dragged by Daesung’s car to about 22.8 meters.
He said Daesung’s stature and lack of a prior criminal record will work to his advantage.
“However, perhaps in part due to his fame and lack of a prior criminal record, I suspect that he will walk, perhaps with some minor/lesser conviction on his record,” Sawyer said.
In addition, the payment of “blood money” to the family of the victim may reduce Daesung’s punishment, Sawyer said.
The offer of “blood money,” often brokered by the police, is recognized by the Korean legal system to reduce the punishment of an offender. The mere offering of “blood money” is seen by the legal system as a sign of remorse and can reduce one’s sentence.
“There would probably be a similar result in the USA less the blood money,” Sawyer said.
Other circumstances may work on Daesung’s favor. After the accident, Daesung did not flee the crime scene and cooperated with the police by going to the police station to give his statement. He also passed a breathalyzer test that declared that he was not under the influence when the car accident happened.
Due to the accident, Daesung will not be participating in any activity until the end of the year, YG Entertainment announced.

[FAN ACCOUNT] TOP & SEUNGRI TRY TO MAKE G-DRAGON LAUGH
- When asked what sort of songs they listened to during rainy times, Taeyang or was it Seungri? answered he liked to listened to rain drops (*^_^*) and then Seungri started singing. He sang it with such a cute accent! Kwon Ji Yong probably felt a bit embarrassed for Seungri so he finally laughed warmly.
- Seungri forgot his lyrics during ‘Lies’. The fans helped him by shouting the lyrics for him. Actually we’ve all been trained to sing that part since he usually lets the VIPs sing it for him. When Seungri forgot his lyrics, he looked at TOP and they both smiled. Cute!
- I couldn’t listen carefully, and I heard this from my friend that when the MC asked where Seungri got his cute glasses, all the members started to say things. Seungri has recently started to really like those kind of glasses and said they don’t have any lenses. He also mentioned that TOP’s glasses has lenses and that his eyes are short-sighted. Kwon Ji Yong laughed when TOP went over to Seungri and pretended to put 2 fingers into Seungri’s lense-less glasses.
- Seungri doing beatboxing was really incredible! The audience wanted them to sing La La La and the members were in a daze for a split second…then they reluctantly sang a bit of the song. Someone forgot their lyrics and I don’t remember who but everyone laughed. The 4 of them then said they would sing other songs. When Seungri was singing the song about rain, he started to get hyper and then used some weird sound to do his beatboxing. TOP thought it was really funny so he laughed, but he was also at a loss for words because he couldn’t figure out what Seungri was doing. TOP then asked Kwon Ji Yong what it was and then Kwon Ji Yong kept laughing and saying he didn’t know.
- At the end when they were saying their goodbyes,
MC: “Seungri is down there!”
Seungri: “Typhoon Maeri should hit Korea tomorrow morning by 2AM…”
All the members couldn’t stop laughing.

[FAN ACCOUNT] G-DRAGON MOST AFFECTED WITH DAESUNG'S NEWS
Note: She is a Chinese VIP living in Seoul & attended the mini concert today. Before she wrote the fan account, she wrote “what should I write? If I tell exactly what happened a lot of people will be sad”. So, read at your own risk.
Kwon Jiyong was wearing sunglasses when he came out. He was dressed all in black and was even wearing a hat. All of us off stage were saying how good he looked!! Perhaps I was the only person who thought this but while he was greeting everyone, he looked lifeless. From my perspective, he looked like he was the most affected with Daesung’s news. He didn’t even hide his feelings. I believe it’s because he’s the leader and he feels a sense of responsibility. I rarely saw him laugh today, and if he did, it was the laugh where he held his hand over his mouth.
I heard from the fans at the front that Kwon Ji Yong’s eyes were all red and he was crying. He also took off his rings. After he did that, he performed even more intense. Hm. Today, Taeyang and the rest kept patting him on his shoulders or tried to play with him, but he still barely smiled.
One of Taeyang’s questions today was: “If you were a girl, which member would you want to date?” Taeyang laughed then said the question was too outdated. Seungri said, “Then let me ask! Taeyang, where did you get your cute hat from?” (I don’t really remember but I think it was like that) & then Taeyang answered shyly.
At the end the MC asked Seungri “Then where did you get your cute glasses from?” Seungri answered that the glasses were lense-less. TOP then suddenly ran over to where Seungri was and pretended to put his 2 fingers into Seungri’s glasses.
In the middle when they were preparing to sing La La La, Sunset Glow, Haru Haru etc, they used beatbox to accompany them. It was like a remix because they didn’t sing the whole song. Seungri almost finished beatboxing through the whole thing!! Impressive!! Fans off stage all said they all wanted to hear La La La, but == they forgot their lyrics since it’s been a long time since they sang it and their tune were a bit rusty.
During mid break, the MC asked who had the most confidence in dance or who had a special ability and then it was supposed to be the fans going on stage right? The first male fan who went on stage shocked everyone….Daesung! When I looked, I was shocked too. He looked so much like Daesung. His eyes, the way he smiled…and even the way he danced was oddly similar. When I looked at him, I felt my tears rolling down.
At the Q&A, Seungri sang a song about rain and Kwon Ji Yong finally laughed. I felt that it was the most warming laugh he gave during the entire event. Afterwards, I didn’t dare look at Kwon Ji Yong’s eyes. He was sad and he barely hid it. Perhaps he was thinking of what happened to him in 2009. The 3 members were trying hard to bring up the atmosphere. When they sang Last Farewell, TOP changed his usual hand move from up to down. It was really cute. TOP then teased Taeyang and then he did the same with Seungri.
[NEWS] G-DRAGON SHEDS TEARS AT BIGBANG'S LG OPTIMUS BIG MINI CONCERT
As we reported earlier, Big Bang completed its promotions for the first half of 2011. On 25th June, Big Bang members, G-Dragon, Taeyang, Seungri and T.O.P, held a mini-concert titled "LG Optimus BIG Mini Concert", performing songs like "Last Farewell", "Lies", "Stupid Liar", "Love Song", "Sunset Glow" and more.
However, this event was incomparable to the events, we're used to see from Big Bang. An atmosphere of sadness filled the venue of the "LG Optimus BIG Mini Concert". Especially, Big Bang's energetic and fierce leader, G-Dragon, was very quiet and emotional that day. He seemed to be very sad over Daesung's incident and couldn't hold his tears back at some moments. Fan accounts state that G-Dragon especially got emotional when the audience chanted Daesung's name.
