[NEWS] YANG HYUN SUK SAID "BIGBANG IS STRONGER NOW"
Big Bang will release their fifth mini album on February 29. It has been nearly a year since their comeback. Also, the comeback is more significant because of G-Dragon and Daesung’s incidents last year.
YG recently stated about Big Bang’s comeback “Last year was the worst year. I had been with the members since they were 13 years old. It was also hard for me to take the news.
He continued, “During the 15 years I have managed YG Entertainment, I wanted my artists to have freedom. However, I began to think that self-control is more important. Besides myself, I believe it was a good learning experience for Big bang.”
YG ended with, “It is usually difficult for a singer to go on after 5 years but I believe Big Bang has become stronger through the recent incidents. That is why I am focusing on Big Bang’s promotions. Not only is the Korean market focusing on them, but the whole world is as well. We are more careful when making music so that we won’t be embarrassed. Although the five of them shine when they are together, the fact that they can do solo albums makes Big bang more like 6 teams instead of one.”

[INTERVIEW] G-DRAGON INTERVIEW ON NAVER MUSIC
Interviewer: It has been a long time. How have you been?
GD: I've been fine. I spent my time with my family. Prepared for this album and spent some time thinking this and that.
I: What is your thought about singers? I wonder, what do you think about your figure?
GD: Well, when I was a young boy, I thought singers are cool. That's why I wanted to be a singer in my early years. I think Bigbang is cool. Not being on the stage, but also in real life. I don't mean that they are handsome and tall. I mean they got swag. There are so many things that I have to learn as a friend, a young brother, and an older brother. It makes me a burden because I'm a leader but it also makes me try to push myself.
I: What is your biggest stress/pressure?
GD: Preparing for the next album. It is one of biggest pressure to me because the next album is more important than the last one. When I had to prepare for the last album, 'TONIGHT', I thought "This is the most important album!" When I prepared for this album, I thought "This album is the most important one!" Maybe I will think again the same when I prepare for a new album. It is also one of my pleasant worries. I was pulsating. Well, I don't know. Last year, 'TONIGHT' was my favorite album. And now it's 'BLUE'. My taste in music changes continuously and I share it to people. I wonder what they will say to me after they listen to it and what part they like the most. I'm going well.
I: Bigbang sings mainly about LOVE.
GD: I think many Korean think about love a lot and they want comfort. When you hear music, you think that "Oh this lyrics is what I have in mind." or when you are sad, you hear the music and cry. That's why music is powerful.
I: Tell me about BLUE.
GD: BLUE… Many people think that idol group just have younger fans. But I think more twenties and thirties age group will really like this song. They will sing more and sympathize with this song more than teenagers will.
I: Do you have assurance in this album?
GD: Uh…. Yes. I'm always confident with it. Not boasting. When we hear our music, we said "That's it!" haha. Because it is ours. I pour out my soul and try to be frank. And… it is for the season.

[INFO] BIGBANG REVEALS FOUR TITLE SONGS
It seems like YG Entertainment just can’t make up their mind with Big Bang’s impending comeback promotion. Just a day after hinting at a double title track promotion for “Alive,” YG Entertainment updated the track list image on their official blog with two more title tracks, including “Love Dust” and “Fantastic Baby.” This makes it a total of four songs (including “Blue” and “Bad Boy”) that will be used as title tracks for Big Bang’s new album promotions.
With less than two weeks to go until Big Bang’s long-awaited comeback, it’s difficult to predict how they will carry out a four title track promotion. As usual, YG Entertainment is keeping things on the down low, but there’s no doubt fan excitement is skyrocketing in anticipation of their comeback.
Earlier today, photos of Big Bang filming for their new MV in Harlem, NY was posted online. Their new album, “Alive,” is scheduled for release on February 29.

[NEWS] Big Bang to use TV ads for their comeback promotions
YG Entertainment has announced that they will be heralding Big Bang‘s grand comeback through TV commercials!
Big Bang has been causing a stir by releasing individual concept photos of each members everyday. Beginning on February 17th, they will be airing TV ads to fulfill a promise made days ago by YG about how Big Bang’s comeback “will be YG Entertainment’s biggest promotion yet.”
TV ads are a huge promotion technique usually used by large corporations, and cost at least a few billion won to produce. Due to the staggering receipts, TV ads have never been thought of for actual use in a singer’s promotions.
So far, Big Bang has produced 13 ads that will be aired for 13 days, with a new commercial being broadcasted every day. The ads will reveal a teaser clip of “Blue” (a track from Big Bang’s upcoming album), in addition to short interviews with the members, who will reveal their candid thoughts on their comeback.
Big Bang will also unleash a Naver application with many features, such as ‘Big Bang’s Talk’, ‘Big Bang’s Playlist’, ‘Big Bang’s TV’ and more. Fans will get to hear snippets from Big Bang’s album through this smartphone app, so it’s expected to become one of the hottest apps on the market.

According to reports, the show will take place at YG headquarters in Seoul.
