[On TV Yesterday] As a Producer, GD was So Hot in Infinite Challenge

The song festival of Infinite Challenge was a rare chance to see what GD is like as a producer. Viewers were able to get a glimpse of GD as a producer, who is so musically talented that he is often referred to as a “celebrity among the celebrities”. His charismatic yet gentle producing style won the hearts of many viewers.

On the August 8 episode of MBC’s Infinite Challenge, GD, TAEYANG and Kwanghee from ZE:A started recording their song “맙소사” for the 2015 music festival. Jokingly calling themselves as “Hwangtaeji”, GD, TAEYANG and Kwanghee received huge responses as little parts of their song were aired on the episode. The song “맙소사” is a classic BIGBANG style music with an exciting and addictive beat. With Kwanghee among them, expectations are high on what kind of a team GD, TAEYANG and Kwanghee will make.

[INTERVIEW] YG, “BIGBANG is my family, there will be no major disagreement in renewal of contract”

▶ “I’m 20 years older than BIGBANG, but I really like being with them.”

- As BIGBANG swept music scene every month with their new songs recently, some criticize about YG’s monopoly.

“No matter what people say, BIGBANG is the leader of the Korean Wave and such a team has released their new album after three years of absence. From YG’s perspective, too, the album was born after a lot of difficulties. Rather than having a one-off promotion for such a precious album, I wanted to promote all the songs of BIGBANG’s new album. The scale of the team’s world tour is also getting bigger, so I wanted to show the music video of all the new songs to fans around the world. BIGBANG could not give any TV performance for “IF YOU” and “SOBER”, because of their world tour schedule. That may have disappointed Korean fans, but I would like to ask fans to understand that BIGBANG is going beyond Korea to promote themselves toward fans around the world, to show the excellence of Korea’s contents on the global stage. That is something that only BIGBANG can do.”

- Isn’t it true that other YG artists’ comeback is delayed because of BIGBANG’s promotion?

[Music Talk Talk] “BIGBANG’s only rival is BIGBANG”… In the No.1 on chart for 3 months in a row

BIGBANG’s only rival is BIGBANG themselves. The team took the No.1 on monthly charts for three months in a row since May this year, with “MADE” project. The new songs released this month are also sweeping music charts.

BIGBANG is a group who has strong fandom and popularity. Every song the team releases takes the No.1 on charts and draws a keen attention from foreign fans, too. Notably, BIGBANG is thought to be a musician, rather than just an idol group. The members write their own songs, so BIGBANG always maintains their unique color and always entertains fans with fresh and new trials every time they release a new song.

[Analysis IS] Will BIGBANG eat up whole August… New songs + “Infinite Challenge” music festival

BIGBANG seems to be eating up the whole music scene for this August.

On August 5, Billboard reported that BIGBANG’s “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” shows BIGBANG’s “signature mix of melancholy and dance beats” and that although it “sounds like classic BIGBANG,” it is “unique” with T.O.P and G-DRAGON “showing off their new vocal colors.” Billboard also praised “ZUTTER” saying it is a “minimal, hip-hop cut peppered with trappy snares, knocking percussion and woozy synths to emphasize both dudes’ distinctive spitting styles.”

[NEWS] BIGBANG’s “IF YOU” took the No.1 on Gaon’s monthly chart of July

[Music Talk Talk] BIGBANG vs. BIGBANG again, “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” and “ZUTTER” sweeping all music charts for two days in a row

Is the only rival of BIGBANG is BIGBANG? It seems that nothing can stop the rush of BIGBANG who is releasing new songs for five consecutive months. Two new BIGBANG songs released on August 5 are showing BIGBANG’s formidable potential once again, sweeping the first and second places on music charts. The attack of complete team BIGBANG that began in May this year is shaking the Korean music scene, as the team dominates all the top places on charts and sets a new record in terms of streaming volume every time a new song is released.

[Midnight New Song] BIGBANG’s two extremes “Sweet vs. Bold”… “Crazy energy”

The new BIGBANG is surprisingly different.

Group BIGBANG released new single “E” on August 5 at 0 o’clock. The August’s new single includes new song “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE”, as well as “ZUTTER” which is a song released by GD&TOP for the first time in five years. The two songs that have completely different moods and colors are something that “only BIGBANG” can do, which show idol group BIGBANG’s wide artistic spectrum.

◈ “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” – Beautiful but sad youth

“LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” is a song filled with joyful and fluttering emotions, in which a sentimental melody line and five member’s different vocals are harmonized together. Such young and fresh beauty is expressed based on a sorrowful emotion. The song’s lyrics that say “let’s not fall in love” because he knows how love ends, paradoxically expresses a strong craving for pure love.

[Oh! SEN FOCUS] From BIGBANG to PSY, when the rush of YG will stop?

YG is sweeping music charts in 2015, with a formidable power. Centering around BIGBANG who has been releasing new songs for five months in a row, YG’s leading singers are coming back one after another. Plus, YG is strongly supporting entertainment programs, with G-DRAGON and TAEYANG appearing in the music festival of “The Infinite Challenge”, as well as Hyuk Oh of YG’s sister label HIGHGRND performing in the same show. Furthermore, in September, PSY will come back and iKON will make an official debut. Will this rush of YG ever end?

YG fans call it “chewing up the charts”. It refers to YG’s domination of music charts, as shown by all new songs of BIGBANG released in May ranked in top places on charts, the songs setting highest-ever streaming volume record on charts and taking the No.1 on charts for the longest-ever period of time. Such a record is all the more meaningful as it is set in an environment completely different from a few years ago, when BIGBANG and 2NE1 were the only YG singers who could sweep charts like that.
