YG Entertainment has joined with SK Communications and Nate to announce a ‘cover survival’ competition in Korea, titled ‘Fantastic 1′, using Big Bang’s new single ‘Fantastic Baby‘.
Out of all the tracks in Big Bangs 5th mini album, ‘Fantastic Baby’ is one that has stood out to many with its its strong sound, addicting melody and clever choreography. As such, many fans have already been uploading footage of themselves dancing to the song.
Even with the flood of new singles that are coming out from different artists, the song has maintained, or even at times, reclaimed the number one spot, and seems to be getting more popular as the days go by.
That is why Big Bang has joined hands with SK Communication to hold an event for the fans who are showing much love for ‘Fantastic Baby.’
Participants can upload their covers of ‘Fantastic Baby’ adding in their own flavor by changing up the style of the song, adding instruments, or even cosplaying. One may enter as an individual or in a group as a team.
Contest entries will be accepted starting on March 22nd and up til April 11th. Netizens will pick their favorite covers and narrow down the top ten contestants for the ‘Fantastic 10′. Afterwards, Big Bang and their choreography team will make the final decision and reveal on April 19th who has won the competition to become the ‘Fantastic 1′.
The winner of the competition will receive a ticket to ‘ALIVE TOUR 2012-JAPAN‘ as well as full expense paid round trip ticket and lodging. Also the the top ten will be given opportunities to interview at YG Entertainment’s first round of auditions, and the opportunity to showcase all they’ve got during the 2nd audition. They will all also receive a Big Bang goody package. Also, netizens who make comments and encourage the participants will be randomly selected for prizes. 5 will be chosen and win the Big Bang goody package, and 12 will be chosen and win a personally autographed Big Bang album.
A representative of YG Entertainment said, “There are a lot of really well done covers being uploaded online. We made this event so the fans in Korea can watch and enjoy them together. We ask for active participation with creative and original videos.”
Fans in Korea can find out more details by visiting a special page for the competition, which includes a special introduction by Big Bang.
Starting on March 20th, Big Bang has been greeting their fans, domestic and international, through their internet broadcast, ‘YG ON AIR – BIGBANG ALIVE.’
