[NEWS] G-Dragon rumored to be the main producer for YG’s new girl group


G-Dragon is rumored to be the main producer for YG Entertainment‘s highly anticipated new girl group!

According to industry insiders, G-Dragon is said to be producing for the new group, who plans to make a debut this October with a song produced by G-Dragon himself.

G-Dragon is already well-known for the many songs he has written and composed for Big Bang’s albums as well as his own solo albums. However, it is the first time that G-Dragon will be acting as the main producer for any group, and thus, the news is already attracting much attention even before the girl group’s debut.

With G-Dragon said to be the main producer for the group, many are speculating that the group is sure to have a different style than that of 2NE1, as the main producer for 2NE1 is Teddy.

The talented young idol is said to have already written quite a few songs for the new group, and he’ll also be including one of the members, Jennie Kim, in his ‘That XX‘ music video, which will be revealed on September 1st.

But that’s not all! G-Dragon, who is returning with a solo album after 3 years, is also rumored to have recruited another member from the girl group to feature in one of his songs from the upcoming solo album.

The girls from the upcoming group that we have seen so far include ‘Superstar K2‘s Kim Eun Bi, ‘Superstar K3‘s Euna Kim, and Jennie Kim, as well as the other two mysterious girls, whose names have not been released to the public. YG Entertainment is continuing to hold their silence on the number of members the girl group will include and other details.

[NEWS] G-Dragon to Release Censored MV of ‘That XX’


After voluntarily restricting his newest single That XX to Rated-R, Big Bang’s G-Dragon will be releasing a censored version of the same song for the music video.

On August 31, YG Entertainment stated, “We decided to solve the problems in the lyrics of That XX with censored beeps.”

The new version with censorship, solely created for the music video, will allow the audience of 15 and older to watch the anticipated footage.

The song, however, will be released in the music market as is with the 19 and older rating, since changing the song lyrics affects the artist’s creative license.

G-Dragon’s upcoming solo album has been gaining much attention, not just for its unique style and rated-R songs, but also the way it is being released. G-Dragon unveiled the music video for One of a Kind on August 25, but has not released the track anywhere.

With YG Entertainment known for its unique ways of promotions, people are looking on to see what new styles G-Dragon’s comeback will bring.

Meanwhile, YG Entertainment unveiled one of its trainees, Jennie Kim, who will also be starring in G-Dragon’s new music video. Her practice video of charismatic rapping was also censored out due to profanities.

G-Dragon’s new single That XX will be released on September 1.

BIGBANG IS BACK!
BIGBANG has gone through a lot and has finally come back.


In front of the unique-looking YG building in Hapjeong-dong of Seoul, there is always some crowd waiting for someone. Even at first glance, it's clear that the crowd is of various races. People from Korea, Japan, USA, Europe, South Americas and various other countries wait endlessly for someone. It is BIGBANG, the idol whom they are waiting for.

While looking at those fans, the thought came to me. "BIGBANG? Who are these guys?"

BIGBANG is currently categorized as an idol group but something about them is so different from other idol groups. It's hard to explain but there is a unique depth in them. BIGBANG definitely has their own style and aura around them.

This seems to stand out more especially in this new mini-album. Their eyes, voices, and moves were composed and full of confidence and the public responded with utmost support. It feels like their confidences transformed into absolute convictions over the years. This conviction must have been the driving force of their new growth. And now, making this a stepping-stone to a new goal, BIGBANG has taken the first step on their worldwide journey. It will be a beginning of a countdown to another evolutionary change.



Working through pain, like a chick hatching from its shell.
BIGBANG Mini-Album 'ALIVE'

The five members of BIGBANG, did not travel much over the last year. They spend most of their time in a studio at the YG building. When people experience ups and downs of life, they become feeling longing for something and at some time they begin to gain depth in their lives. For BIGBANG, this depth was all about music. Over time, they worked fiercely and without any complaints, to put their true voices in the music. Various feelings such as love, longings and pain were all put into melodies. These very melodies and music were gathered and at last, 'ALIVE' was created.

The accomplishments and high level of BIGBANG’s latest 5th mini-album, 'ALIVE' were competitively covered by numerous news articles. The album swept various music charts and the sales were in the first place. The sales for only the first half of the year recorded 260 thousand and the sales difference between the second place album was as many as 100 thousand. BIGBANG makes music what they truly want to make and their music is recognized by so many people. This tells us that their style is well accepted by the public. BIGBANG commented that they are absolutely confident in their music and announced that all of the songs, ‘Intro (Still Alive), BLUE, LOVE DUST, AIN'T NO FUN, FANTASTIC BABY’ will be promoted as title tracks. Also, the genres have become very diverse with 'BLUE' being a very sentimental and lyrical piece and a song like FANTASTIC BABY that instantly makes you want to move your body to the beat was also included. The music industry gave a wide diversity of opinion and reviews for this album but after all, the public was rooting for BIGBANG at the end. All these fans' support helped BIGBANG further advance their skills.




“[BIGBANG] has their own unique style and based on this style,
they have found a perfect balance between achieving mass-appeal and setting a new trend”
- Kang Myeong-Seok, Editor in Chief for 10Asia


ALIVE Style

As BIGBANG’s comeback became imminent, there was one more thing the fans were anticipating for. It was their new style which has been always something bigger and more surprising than fans expected. BIGBANG has always been extraordinary and futuristic in their styles. Time wise, BIGBANG needed a more unique style in this new album and the fans openly expressed their expectations.

BIGBANG’s new style was revealed one by one through online. The first revealed image was a shocking image of TOP. He has had many different styles but the new, mint-colored hairstyle of TOP was simply refreshing. This was only a beginning. GD's hairstyle was even more extreme. Looking at their poker faces and sharp looks, it was clear that they were determined for this new album. Also, with the new icy style, BIGBANG looked as if they had been locked in ice for years. Another thing was the oxygen masks they were wearing. The frozen looks were combined with oxygen masks and BIGBANG looked like infants born straight out of ice. It gave a somewhat refreshing feeling and perhaps the new birth, resurrection of an original music was what they were aiming for through those styles.

BIGBANG’s new styles were very meaningful. The styles were refreshing enough to signify the new beginning of BIGBANG after many ups and downs in their career. BIGBANG’s new journey has just begun and with all these new surprises they have brought, it will be an interesting experience for the fans to watch them evolve into something different.





YG's One and Only, Special Promotion

Behind the great success with the latest album 'ALIVE', there was YG's one and only, special promotion strategy. To match BIGBANG’s superb quality album, they needed something unique to go with the music. The 'interview' concept has made for the promotion after considering what 'answers' BIGBANG can give to the world when they broke the silence and finally come back to talk. Before releasing the album, each five members made teaser television commercial with their Individual 'answers' in them. Also, to highlight their accomplishments and confidence in this album, by making all of their songs as title tracks, they showed the process of making and practicing each song through these television commercials. For 13 days, total of 13 episodes were made and this unique, unprecedented attempt clearly let the fans know about their big comeback.

Another surprise was the pre-listening service provided by the new collaboration promotion with Naver. For the first time in the industry, fans were able visit Naver Music Web and pre-listen to the tracks for 30 seconds on the day before the official release date. Fan's expectations reached their peak as the pre-listening tracks were being released one for each day.

Naver and YG Entertainment collaboration was a successful one between high quality music contents and the most influential web platform and it not only strengthened the BIGBANG’s voice in delivering their 'answers' but it also marked a beginning of a new marketing model.





Something Unique They Have Never Done Before
BIGBANG Special Edition ‘STILL ALIVE’
YG X HYUNDAICARD PROJECT

There were some of the wonderful songs that were left out due to limitations of a mini album. As usual, BIGBANG considered making a repackage album. However, they wanted something more unique in putting their true colors into this album. Fortunately, as it happens, Hyundai Card got In touch with BIGBANG. Hyundai Card who puts brand value as their top priority had been keeping eye on BIGBANG's brand values. And as a result, STILL ALIVE, the continuing project from the previous ALIVE, was created in a different style than other ordinary repackage albums.

BIGBANG’s special repackage, ‘STILL ALIVE’ is the result of a somewhat unusual collaboration between an entertainment company and a financial firm. Both brands wanted a groundbreaking attempt that was unprecedented and focused on making synergic effect between two brands instead of on celebrity marketing. Three ideas came out of this collaboration. First, for the repackage album title track, ‘MONSTER’, they wanted to create a true collaboration piece instead of a simple PPL advertised work. For example, during a ‘MONSTER’ music video, Hyundai Card logos are nowhere to be found. Two brands expressed their commitment, “instead of concentrating on publicity, making a good piece of work is where we put our priority.” And as a result, they have created a spectacular but very controlled music video. Secondly, BIGBANG’s brand identity was reinterpreted with Hyundai Card’s exquisite know-hows. BIGBANG was broken down into each members and a brand guidebook that included their unique individuality was made for each members. The design that perfectly showed the aesthetics of minimalism was the result of Hyundai Card’s special branding skills. Lastly, two brands attempted to do another great thing for the sake of Korean music industry’s growth. It was ‘RE-MONSTER PROJECT’. It was a sort of an auditioning project to discover talented yet obscure musicians in which any underground musicians could submit their own style and interpretation of ‘MONSTER’ to Hyundai Card Music. The winner of the contest will be given an opportunity to produce a digital single and music video at YG Entertainment. Numerous talented musicians of various genres, ROCK, R&B, HIPHOP, etc applied and 5,000 of those applied songs were downloaded.

A tie-up between YG and Hyundai Card was not only an ordinary investment or publicity project but it was a truly meaningful collaborative work. They respected each other’s strengths, made up for each other’s weaknesses, created a piece of art and sincerely worked for advancement of Korean music industry. This will be remembered as a meaningful collaboration between a financial firm and artists.




“BIGBANG has continuously applied rock, Hip-Hop and various genres
in their music and now their music is not just 'K-POP'. It's the 'Universal Pop'."
- Harrison, pop music critic



STILL ALIVE Album Review

After the 'ALIVE' album, the 'STILL ALIVE' also received a lot of attention. The innovative styles and visual concepts as well as the music were extremely popular. Only in the first of the year, the album sales were 110 thousand and considering the short period of time, this was a tremendous outcome. Only with 2 albums, the sales in the first half of the year were 400 thousand. 'Still Alive' was created because there were so much love and s for a full version after listening to the intro 'ALIVE' in the last 5th mini-album. The strong determination expressed in the lyrics will be the most noticeable aspect of the song.


Monster : 'Monster' has BIGBANG’s unique, sad mood and a beautiful piano melody on a house tempo is combined with an addictive chorus line. The music video captures the strong, monster-like images harmoniously. The lyrics express the desperate emotions of men who do not want to be monsters for the loved ones even when all others criticize them.

Feeling : Germany's famous DJ, 'BOYS NOIZE' and G-Dragon and TOP worked together for this song and its rhythmic sound gives out BIGBANG’s unique, free-spirited energy.

빙글빙글 : 'Bingble Bingle's most remarkable part is the lyrics. It’s about a guy asking daringly to his lover for honesty and to be upfront rather than making him go around in circles. Its wild voices and exciting beats are amazing and the song also gives some retro feelings with electronic guitar reefs.

Ego : 'EGO' has that unique balance between metaphorical lyrics and addictive melody line which BIGBANG’s is excellent at executing. It's a groovy, electronic-pop song that tells about feelings of a guy who has fallen in love.





Where All the Biggest Stars Gather
BIGBANG ALIVE GALAXY TOUR


BIGBANG’s latest journey, '2012 ALIVE Galaxy Tour'. From 'ALIVE' to 'STILL ALIVE', BIGBANG finished their official Korea schedules and begun their first world tour. This world tour will be on 16 countries, 25 cities beginning from Asia first and to North America, South America and Europe. From the beginning, this tour was a special project because it was Live Nation, the world's best concert production company who first suggested BIGBANG for a world tour.

Live Nation has done some promotional works with Korean artists and helped out with one or two large-scale concerts but BIGBANG will be the first Asian artists to work with Live Nation in full scale. Live Nation's cooperation meant that BIGBANG was now a world level artists. The staffs that will be participating on this world tour are brilliant as well. Laurieann Gibson who worked with Lady Gaga’s The Monster Ball Tour, and choreographed her hits Poker Face will be joining the world tour as a head director. She also previously worked with stars as Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Beyonce and Katy Perry. Leroy Bennett, who worked with Madonna, Paul McCartney and the Eagles, will also join as a stage and lightning designer and Ken Van Druten, a world-level sound engineer who was in charge of the sound for Eminem, Jay-Z and Linkin Park concerts will be part of the team as well.

This is without doubt the best line up of staffs for a world tour. To create Korea's first world tour at the best quality possible, world's No.1 brand Samsung will be sponsoring the tour.


This collaboration between a world-level company who leads and sets the trend of smartifacts industry, and a world-level idol group who represent the popular 'Korean Wave' became the hottest topic of the year.

The recent concert held in China was simply earth shaking. Airport was almost Inoperable with nearly 2,000 fans welcoming BIGBANG and as BIGBANG moved some fans even followed them zealously via taxi. The concert seats were surely sold out and the fans were going wild with BIGBANG’s appearance. Considering that this is BIGBANG’s first concert in China, it was a huge success.

After a successful concert in China, it will be an interesting thing to see the impact BIGBANG will make as they take their next move on the '2012 BIGBANG ALIVE GALAXY TOUR'.

[NEWS] G-DRAGON – That XX (Explicit Lyrics)


YG-Life has made changes to the image of G-Dragon they had revealed previously detailing the information regarding his upcoming release, “That XX”

The post has been updated with a new picture which reveals that the upcoming single and music video are not suited for those under the age of 19 (18 international age).

The new image has fans even more curious as to what G-Dragon has in store, especially since age restrictions are normally placed on a song after being released and reviewed by a board. However, in G-Dragon’s case, he has already forewarned fans himself that the song is restricted for minors.

[CLIP] G-DRAGON RANKS #1 on The Stars Who would be successful if they launch a fashion brand?

[TRANSLATION] EDITOR'S COMMENT ABOUT G-DRAGON'S HARPER BAZAAR PHOTO SHOOT


With a bit of overstatement, we had prepared to take GD’s pictures in Paris for 1 year. I thought it’s worth to do and he was the most attractive celebrity in Korea. So I suggested to go to Paris first. (Damn! If you’re an editor who went abroad for photo shoot with a celebrity more than once, I’m sure you never suggest it before them asking.) ㅡ In Korea, a celebrity suggests the editor to go abroad for photo shoot first (before editor asking) because photo shoot in exotic location makes editor crazy/tired. But this time, editor suggested first. *proud* ㅡ I tried to liaise with fashion house in which he was interested and with baccarat crystal museum that I had wanted to take photo shoot for last 10 years. But every weekend, Bigbang had concerts in Japan and after that, there were and are world tour including Brazil. Although there was YGe’s full support and with Stylist Jieun we understood each other well, taking GD to Paris was really hard. Moreover Scheduling staffs’ flights took weeks to arrange. We prepared all he wanted which were the hotel, bodyguards, car and so on. And I wanted to do.

Anyway, we went to Paris and G-Dragon who we met in Paris was really kind and well-mannered. His appearance, abilities and talents… I thought he deserved to be bad but he wasn’t bad. He was full of charm. When we met him to have dinner, he bowed deeply at the waist to all the staffs and talked with them. The next day, at the studio, Givenchy’s new collection was fit very well with him and he overwhelmed studio with his skill. If you saw the video at youtube, you knew that he had an inborn talent for shooting.

After end of the shooting, he wanted to experience Paris Mens Fashion Week so he chose some shows that he wanted and could go. At Rick Owens’ show, which was 1st show of them he attended, paparazzi swarmed like bees because of his remarkable look. At Yohji Yamamoto’s show and Watanabe Junya’s show, his fans in Paris also gathered to see him. And at the last show he attended, JUUN.J’s show, there were a lot of his fans so he had to slip out of the show through the back stage. This was the moment that my heart was full. Korean celebrity got loved by many natives! Too bad he couldn’t see other shows because of his schedules. So he finished his four-day trip to Paris and went back to Tokyo for the concert.

On 20th August, Harper’s Bazaar which had G-Dragon’s photo shoot was published. Thanks to G-Dragon who promoted it on twitter before publishing, magazines were sold out in 3 days. We had to re-publish magazines and they were also sold out in a few days. No one could sell Bazaar as fast as G-Dragon. And no one could set all editors buzzing. Many fashion houses in Paris are thinking about how they can send love call to G-Dragon. What a tremendous G-Dragon effect! He is not only a hallyu star but also sensation.

- From editor’s comment on Harper’s Bazaar September issue.

[NEWS] G-Dragon’s ‘One of a Kind’ is Filled With Hidden Treasures


The music video to G-Dragon’s new single One of a Kind has been racking up the views (850,000-plus and counting, last we checked) since it was released at midnight on August 25, and it’s proving to be a treasure hunt for viewers as they uncover some interesting details in the video.


While fellow Big Bang member Taeyang shows his support by making an appearance in the video, former America’s Best Dance Crew contestant Lydia Paek also makes an unexpected appearance as G-Dragon’s bad girl counterpart in the beginning of the video.


The music video doesn’t get any more true to life, it seems that the sign G-Dragon is seen holding up containing his vital stats.

The placard is quickly becoming a hotly-discussed topic among viewers because of the singer’s supposed weight, which reads a shocking 127 lbs.


Finally, viewers have picked up on the fact that the scene in which G-Dragon is seen smashing glass cases filled with clothing are actually outfits that the singer has worn in previous music videos.


Fans are feasting over the music video’s stunning visuals, but we personally just can’t get over Taeyang’s hair.


He really brought the throwback GDYB concept back with the bandana.

[LYRICS] G-DRAGON'S ONE OF A KIND TRANSLATION


ONE OF A KIND - G-DRAGON

I’m just wild and young, just wild and young
(hello) me and choice
(hello) yes sir, i’m one of a kind
I’m a bear that can do a lot of tricks¹—no, more like a fox²
(hello, hello, hello) yes sir, i’m one of a kind
I’m an annoying snob
cus I’m quite expensive

Yes hyung, yes noona (what’s wrong with you)
Ah, I’m just bored (hello?)
Yes hyung, yes noona, (what’s wrong with you)
I’m sorry that I’m so popular

I’m there at just one phone call, number 1988-0818
Someone try to hold me back, I’m ranked number one
(or: Everone knows me, I’m number one trouble maker in the celebrity world)
Because I’m different, because that’s me!
because no matter what I do, chaos ensues
because i make trend, because i change everything
This talent will never leave me

Get back, are you kidding with me? Young and rich—that describes me
So I’m fast so what is okay
Are you kidding me?
I’m not kidding you

(hello) yes sir, i’m one of a kind
I’m a bear that can do a lot of tricks¹—no, more like a fox²
(hello, hello, hello) yes sir, i’m one of a kind
I’m an annoying snob
cus i’m quite expensive

This is already my second album, I won’t rob an empty house
My rap is what makes the ladies come to the bedroom—yea, i’m busy
Money flower blooms on my business
I won’t rest, my song makes everyone cry (or: my song stacks up more stories for buildings)

I love it!

This little boy comes out and owns the stage
Can’t seem to like him, but i keep seeing him
Turn your eyes to avoid him but everywhere you go it’s his music
His pics are everywhere, even when he’s acting crazy
There’s not enough copies to sell

Get back, i’m not kidding, Young and rich—that describes me
so i’m fast, so what’s okay. Are you kidding with me? I’m not kidding

La la la, look at me with loving eyes, don’t curse me, la la la, please accept me, please love me

(hello) yes sir, i’m one of a kind
I’m a bear that can do a lot of tricks¹—no, more like a fox²
(hello, hello, hello) yes sir, i’m one of a kind
I’m an annoying snob
cus I’m quite expensive

Yes hyung, yes noona (what’s wrong with you)
Ah, I’m just bored
Yes hyung, yes noona, (what’s wrong with you)
I’m sorry that I’m so popular

Just follow me, follow me, just follow me, follow me,
follow me follow me follow follow me follow follow me

(hello) yes sir, i’m one of a kind
I’m a bear that can do a lot of tricks¹—no, more like a fox²
(hello, hello, hello) yes sir, i’m one of a kind
I’m an annoying snob
cus I’m quite expensive

I’m just wild and young, I’m just wild and young. Do it just for fun



Notes:

¹ “The bear does the trick, the human gets the money” is a proverb meaning “the one who gets the benefits of hard work isn’t always the one who performs the said hard work.”

² a fox often outwits a bear in korean folklore. (because this is used in combination with ¹, GD probably meant to say “I can do a lot of tricks and I reap the benefit because i am not as dumb as a bear”)
