[PIC] G-DRAGON UPDATED INSTAGRAM "Ting Hao A" [121120]
Translation : Ting Hao A (It means Very Good)
Note : In 1938, There was a hit song about love story that Chinese man loved Korean woman. There's lyric "Ting Hao A" on that song. After that, a comedian who acted like Chinese on the TV show kept saying "Ting Hao A" because it sounded like Chinese you know lol. So "Ting Hao A" has been getting popular and now it's like symbol of Chinese in Korea.

[NEWS] Review of BIGBANG Concert in New Jersey
“I love you baby, I’m not a monster.” That’s the line that Taeyang, of the South Korean boy band Big Bang, crooned to an undulating sea of light-stick wielding fans at the Prudential Center, in Newark, the other night. To my immediate left, pressed against the gray iron bars that separated us from the V.I.P. mosh pit, a thirteen-year-old girl in a silver sequin tank and top hat voiced her devotion in squeals and screams. Behind us, two boys in tuxedos elbowed their way up front, armed with flash-ready iPhones. “O.K., do me first,” one instructed the other, as he leaned back against the bars, fingers raised high in the shape of a V. “Get two!” he ordered, before being edged out by a new tide of photo-seekers.

[NEWS] Big Bang Wraps Up Americas Concert Tour With Successful Concert in Peru
After five concert performances and with some 58,000 concert attendees in all, Big Bang has successfully concluded the North and South American leg of its global concert tour.
Big Bang held its last concert in the Americas on November 14 (local time) at Lima, Peru’s Jocky Club.
The Peru concert marked the group’s final show in the Americas after performing in front of sold-out crowds in L.A. on November 2 and 3 and in New Jersey on November 8 and 9.
[NEWS] BIGBANG in America: Behind the Scenes With the K-Pop Boy Wonders
When asked about his group's performance at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, a bleach blonde G-Dragon of K-pop group BIGBANG says under his breath, "I wish it was better."
A refreshingly candid answer in the very formal, professional world of K-pop where the stars are more cute than sexy, scandals are minimal, and its stars spend years training. But this is BIGBANG -- an act that rewrites most of the conventions in K-pop by composing most of their own music, go shirtless in music videos, and have found themselves in the midst of several controversies just this year alone.
Backstage, the five members are in their opening number outfits -- heavy-duty, sparkling white suits looking like edgy Prince Charmings -- but G-Dragon walks around without his jacket on and huge sunglasses before sitting down for some pre-show interviews. Each member personifies himself in their demeanor. The elusive T.O.P., known for his low-bass timbre rapping, wears dark sunglasses and shows little emotion. Handsome Seungri sits straight up juxtaposing G-Dragon's casual answers and laid back appearance. Taeyang, in long braids, acts in a calm manner answering many questions with an impressive grasp of English similar to G-Dragon. While Daesung, the group's charismatic powerhouse vocalist, spends most of his off-camera moments warming up his voice with lip trills. Each has his own bottle of Fiji water (with a bottle of Welch's white grape juice for T.O.P.) with G-Dragon's attitude seemingly not improving just minutes before show time.
The show is scheduled to begin only ten minutes behind schedule (a big difference to the 90-minute plus delay label-mates 2NE1 fell into in August) with little commotion backstage. One back-up dancer scurries out of the female dancer's changing room, being sure to slow down and give a little bow upon passing Taeyang, but all in all, it feels calm before the final American stop of BIGBANG's Alive Tour.

[NEWS] Han Ga In once again confesses to having a phone full of G-Dragon photos
Han Ga In once again confessed to being a fan of G-Dragon.
The actress recently had an interview at the ‘Korean Film Festival 2012‘ held in Singapore. When asked, “Do you really have a lot of G-Dragon photos in your phone?“, Han Ga In answered, “It’s true. But that fact was spread so much that I’m embarrassed now. I’m cautious to say I like him. I’m just a fan who watches quietly.”
The reporter asked, “Doesn’t your husband Yeon Jung Hoon get jealous?”. To this, Han Ga In said, “He’s a big fan, too. He actually has more interest and gets into new albums when it comes out. It’s not that I like him as a man, but I like him because he’s a talented artist and for his talent, so my husband likes him with me.”

[NEWS] BIGBANG Successfully Concluded World Tour In the U.S
BIGBANG concluded their world tour in the U.S successfully their New Jersey concerts on November 8th and 9th after their Los Angeles concerts the previous week.
Over 48,000 fans were in attendance for their concerts, as BIGBANG became the best-selling Korean artists ever for a concert with this achievement.
The success was especially meaningful in that the weather conditions were not favorable in New Jersey during the time.
New Jersey was one of the states greatly affected by Hurricane Sandy with some in the state still feeling the aftereffects. The day before Big Bang’s concert, New Jersey was hit by a nor’easter which made even transportation a challenge for the group. But thankfully, the enthusiasm and passion of the fans never waned and they were rewarded time and time again with thrilling performances by the BIGBANG members.
Many local media like CNN, TIME Magazine, New York Times, Billboard, FUSE TV, SPIN, and others all carried reports on BIGBANG's concert progression.
The sell-out of their 'Alive Galaxy Tour 2012' concerts also certified the group's insane popularity in the States.
BIGBANG increased their visual appeal with the stage outfits especially created for the tour, performing some 23 songs including their hit songs like ‘Still Alive’, ‘Lies’, ‘Haru Haru’, ‘Heaven’ and ‘Fantastic Baby’ as well as some of the solo songs by the members for an exciting concert.
Meanwhile, BIGBANG will end their tour of the American continent with a concert in Peru on November 14th. Thereafter, BIGBANG will continue with their world tour with stops in Hong Kong, England, and Japan.

[NEWS] K-Pop Heals New Jersey: Backstage at BigBang's 'Alive' Finale
Last December, SPIN traveled to Seoul, South Korea, to begin reporting for Seoul Trained, an extensive magazine feature on K-pop. Our first night was spent at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena where YG Entertainment — home to PSY, 2NE1, BigBang, Tablo, Jinusean, and more — was celebrating their fifteenth birthday with a "Family Concert" showcase. At the time, Big Bang, arguably Korea's most forward-leaning boy band, hadn't performed together in months, their leader G-Dragon having become embroiled in a rare marijuana scandal a year earlier. But the mood that night was one of triumph, BigBang (and G-Dragon in particular) both humbled by the warm reception and contrite in their apologies. And nearly a year later, after both the surprise success of PSY, and the launch of their Alive Tour, in support of their new full-length of the same name, they arrived as headliners in the United States with something they hadn't quite rediscovered the last time we saw them: swagger.
