[NEWS] "BIGBANG'S COMEBACK WAS ENTIRELY MY WILL" ,YANG HYUN SUK
On the talk about Big Bang's return time
- Is Big Bang's comeback to soon?
“The Big Bang members and I thought about this for a long time. We know that no matter how much time passes, Big Bang's faults cannot be forgiven. We figured that they can go on the path to earn forgiveness while working hard with music and bringing others joy. Forgiveness doesn't come from hiding away from others. Big Bang's Korean promotions are important, but from looking at YouTube's view counts, we could see the reaction overseas was hot as well. We thought it was right to meet the fans with a Big Bang of power and dignity. Big Bang's comeback was wholly my will. It was not the members'."
- How did it feel seeing Big Bang halt promotions.
“It was very hard over the past months. G-Dragon took a lot of time to reflect and focused on making music. That is why we reached such good results. Without this time of reflection, we might have released music without new style. He was able to learn from this experience with his hurt and focus a lot while reflecting on his actions.”
- Don't you have to supervise them more now?
“People thing Big Bang and 2NE1 go out and party a lot but that is not the case. Don't you think I would be the best to know this information? They don't really know many other celebrities and they don't have much association. With the events that happened, they felt a heavy responsibility considering how much they were noticed. Rather than watching over them, I am trying to give them autonomy.”
● On the conflict with KBS
- It has been noticed that you are friendlier with SBS and there seem to be conflicts with KBS.
“Saying that "our relationships are uncomfortable" or that there is a "power struggle" is not true. What would an entertainment company earn from a power struggle with a broadcast company? We didn't go on any MBC shows, so I don't see why there isn't tai about our relationship with MBC.”
- Then what about the appearances on SBS compared to third parties.
We have a mutual understanding with SBS. We don't discriminate agains broadcast companies, but we rather look at who the directors are. Park Sunghoon PD has a high rating, so last year with 2NE1's comeback we worked on the comeback stage with Park PD. We work hard to put on good performances, and we aren't trying to work with only one broadcast company.
We also try to promote on one music program per week. We do not discriminate and decide between music programs. If you go on a show that does not differentiate the stages, the singled ultimately is unable to be differentiated as well. We choose where to perform with a lot of care. The one time we perform, we want to put on a good stage."
- There is talk that you asked for special treatment from KBS and got denied, and that this why you do not perform on KBS shows.
“It doesn't make sense that a broadcast company is asked of special treatment. If this was the case we would want to be at the end of the program all the time. Last year on MBC GD⊤only sang one song.”

[NEWS] “Big Bang Shows One Direction How Badass Is Done” : Refinery29
With the recent turn of Big Bang with their extended play 'Alive', more and more Western media outlets including Time Magazine have shifted their focus on the multi-talented group. Now, fashion, beauty, and shopping website Refinery29 has taken notice of Big Bang and author Lisa Eppich (Epic Name) wrote an article on the boys titled, "This Korean Boy Band Shows One Direction How Badass Is Done".
With fashion being their specialty, Refinery29 broke down the edginess and uniqueness found in Big Bang's hip fashion.
Here's the article from Refinery29 :
“We already gave you the heads up that Kpop sensation Big Bang is set to take over the world in 2012… The videos for their latest hit singles, “Bad Boy” and “Blue”, were filmed right here in NYC in Mid-February, where for the first time their unique hip-hop-meets-meets-high-end fashion sense was put to the test in the city that certainly doesn’t shrink away from avant garde outfits.”
And while we're sure most New Yorkers didn't bat an eye at their embellished jeans and all of their shimmer and shine, the fashion presented in "Bad Boy" in particular made us wonder if their unique aesthetic will either inhibit or prohibit their widespread popularity in the West as a whole. Don't get us wrong — what we love about Big Bang, and what sets them apart from many other boy bands, is their willingness to take risks with their clothing. At any one time you can find them in slick suits and button-ups, and then see them again a day later in graffiti-splattered jackets and leather skirts. Still, what have boy bands been so far to the American audience? Historically, they've been pretty clean-cut, with a lot of frosted tips, tight T-shirts, and some cringe-worthy facial hair here and there. Throw in a leather jacket, and that's as "edgy" as they'd get. In that respect, a group like Big Bang, who tends to mix together so many styles at once, could definitely be seen as an oddity — coupled with the fact that they will, unfortunately, have to overcome the "foreignness" that comes with having a large, non-English discography. Though we're embracing their boldness and their willingness not to follow trends as a breath of fresh air for a very stereotyped genre, we're dying to know what you think.
Check out the videos for "Bad Boy" below and tell us, would Big Bang's unique style be welcomed in the Big Apple, and could it potentially revolutionize the way we see boy bands? Or does the thought of another wave of synchronized dancing pretty boys make you balk, no matter what they're wearing?
