[NEWS] BIGBANG'S FAVORITE RESTAURANT


As K-pop stars are very popular in Japan now, fans are curious where they eat and what their favorite restaurants are.

Big Bang often appears in places in Gangbuk area like Hongdae (Hongik University) and Itaewon. Where they eat:

1) Smokey Saloon in Itaewon

Popular burger joint Smokey Saloon is re-categorizing burgers in Seoul from fast food to luxury cuisine.

Each burger is handmade with chuck steak and served with fresh lettuce, bacon, cheese, hash brown, fried eggs depending on your choice of menu. Their "Ambulance", a thick hamburger with cheese is really popular.

They take a while to cook and serve, so don’t expect the usual quick service like other restaurants in Seoul.

Address: 123-5 Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu
Website: www.smokeysaloon.kr


2) Abiko Japanese Curry and Rice Shop in Hongdae

Specializing in Japanese curry, Abiko allows you to create your own MSG-free curry dish. Select your favorite curry, level of spiciness (6 to choose from!), ingredient (beef, fried shrimp, chicken cutlet, etc.), and enjoy! Beef curry with egg and chicken cutlet on rice is the most popular combination.

Abiko is owned by 1TYM's Song Baek Young. Taeyang recently uploaded a photo of him and G-Dragon eating at Abiko on Twitter.

Address: 356-1 Seogyo-dong Mapo-gu

[NEWS] G-DRAGON ON SINGLES MAGAZINE FOR "BAREFOOT CAMPAIGN"


G-Dragon for Singles Magazine “Barefoot Campaign”

Youthfulness is like a motorcycle!
Adults say that motorcycles are dangerous and tell us not to ride on them, but don’t the children ride on them anyway? They even pursue for speed. Youthfulness seems to be like that too. You’re at the age where you don’t want to do the things you are allowed to do and want to do things you’re not. When you’re over the speed limit, you might miss out. You won’t know the correct direction and will blindly move forward and there will be lots of twists and turns along the way.

The present me is like that and being a singer seems like I can’t be too sensible. I’m still worried though. I used to do things with no hesitation but nowadays, I need to consider all my options.

This seems to be the process of becoming an adult, but it shouldn’t be like that.
