[NEWS] BIGBANG'S BAD BOY RANKS #2 FOR "THE 5 VIDEOS OF THE WEEK" ON STEREOGUM
2. BigBang – “Bad Boy”
The Korean pop assembly line is a truly wondrous thing. The country is cranking out absurdist, high-gloss, stick-in-your-brain music videos at a ridiculous rate these days, and I am entirely capable of losing entire hours just by clicking from one YouTube link to the next. From what I can tell, the biggest boy band in the country is BigBang, whose new video, a take on American ’90s-R&B ruffneck love songs, was inexplicably filmed outside a Williamsburg JMZ stop. The choreography is no-shit delightful, the clothes are wonderfully goofy, and the song is dangerously catchy. Pay special attention to group member T.O.P., who manages to comport himself with sleepy-eyed bad-motherfucker panache while wearing a military waistcoat, a gigantic bejeweled-skull medallion, and turquoise Gumby hair.

[NEWS] How Far Along Is Big Bang From Entering The Mainstream Media?
Big Bang’s recent movement is unusual, in other words the media all around the world is unusual towards Big Bang.
YG Entertainment announced earlier that Big Bang’s comeback will be YG's biggest promotion yet. And all six songs from the mini-album will be title songs. Their confidence is now being revealed through the results. With the announcement of their world tour with Live Nation and renowned tour director Laurieann Gibson is now receiving media coverage all over the world.
Big Bang first received coverage being featured on the homepage of the TIME.com through a post ‘South Korea’s Greatest Export: How K-Pop’s Rocking the World’ on March 7. The article mentions the success of the group as well as the effect of K-Pop explosion on Korea’s economy.
After two days passed the group is covered once again in TIME with the title ‘Watch Your Back, Bieber: The Boy Band Is Making a Comeback.’ The group is mentioned as one of the groups that are expected to dominate the charts this year.
Most recent coverage is from Gawker news magazine/blog with the title ‘The Real Perfect New Pop Song Is This K-Pop Hit, ‘Bad Boy.’ The author of the article mentions ‘potential for K-Pop to conquer America now that hip hop mogul Swizz Beatz has signed a collaboration deal with one of South Korea’s biggest entertainment companies.’
Big Bang’s music video ‘Fantastic Baby’ has also received a grand introduction by being highlighted on Letras, one of the biggest Brazilian music websites.
K-Pop artists that are known for their perfect in-sync choreography is not what you see in Big Bang, their music is known to be hip hop. Also it’s rare for a band’s entire member to be in perfect harmony even while maintaining their distinct personalities. This unique character and band’s individuality, which is rarely seen in K-Pop, can be said to be the reason of the groups’ success in America.
Recently the group achieved a feat by entering the Billboard Top 200 at 150 with their fifth mini-album ‘Alive,’ with a non-English language album which is an acknowledgement of their music talents. It seems it’s not that far away for Americans to be humming the tunes of K-Pop in their daily lives for not only K-Pop mania but for Americans in general.
