[NEWS] G-DRAGON & TOP WILL RE-RELEASE THEIR 1st ALBUM WITH A NEW COVER
Get ready to add another album to your collection, VIPs, because GD&TOP will re-release their first album with a brand new cover next month. YG Entertainment updated their fans on their decision to change GD&TOP’s logo on their official website with a news posting on June 29th.
The post reads:
“Hello. This is YG Entertainment.
We thank you all for supporting GD&TOP’s first album, which was released back on December 24th of last year.
GD&TOP’s logo, as stated before in many interviews, was designed combining a rabbit, in recognition of the year of the rabbit, and a fist holding up a V-sign that stands for victory.
It was based off of Playboy Enterprises International Inc.’s rabbit design logo.
However, our company didn’t receive permission from Playboy, who has trademark rights for their rabbit logo, and we’re not involved with Playboy in any shape or form.
Therefore, to prevent any confusion, we’ve accepted Playboy’s polite request and have decided to stop using GD&TOP’s rabbit logo.
We will suspend sales for GD&TOP’s album, and release a NEW COVER version starting in July.
Please show your love and support for the newly designed ‘GD&TOP First Album New Cover Ver.‘ (all songs will be the same).
Thank you!!”

G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang and Seungri are really looking forward to seeing their Singapore fans!
[CLIP] BIGBANG & TAEYANG WERE MENTIONED BY THELMA AOYAMA
Translation
MC: You’ve collaborated with BIGBANG SOL before right?
Thelma: SOL was the first overseas artist that I collaborated with. Artists in Korea are very stoic [disciplined]. They have a strong sense of professionalism. On the MV set, he kept on practicing and singing.
MC: Very devoted. What is the real (face) of SOL like?
Thelma: We filmed an MV together. That was the first time we spent a long time together. SOL is so shy.
MC: Yes?
Thelma: He is a shy boy so if we leave him alone, he is like this (she pretends to be SOL at 0:45)
MC: Really?
Thelma: But when we talk with staff saying things like – yeah! he can enjoy saying/acting like …. So if we talk to him, he would be very pleased.
MC: I see – a little bit like me.
Thelma: Really?
MC: Yes, if nobody talks to me, I am all quiet.
Thelma: Kidding ?
MC: I think I’m lying (laughs.) What is the charm of Bigbang?
Thelma: The charm? Each member has their own position [role]. G-dragon has leadership. Like at rehearsal, he has the ability to put the group together as leader. Top(‘s ) is Rap. Sol(‘s) is Dance and Singing. D-lite(‘s) is singing and he does MC too. VI’s is talk show and he does solo too. Everybody is multi-talented.
MC: Did you actually did meet all of them?
Thelma: I have, I have. A couple of times.
MC: Really? Where did you meet them?
Thelma: At the concert and we went out and had a meal together.
MC: You guys are that close.
Thelma: Yeah.
MC: The friendship is deep!!
Thelma: (waving hand and shy)
MC: You!! Wow!
Thelma: Wow! (laughs)
MC: Please watch the clip BIG BANG!!
MC: That was the BigBang concert clip! How was it?
Thelma: I went to the one at Makuhari.
MC: You saw this?
Thelma: Yeah, yeah. Very powerful live.
MC: That’s right. And this, this hand move is so cool. I want to use it somehow from now on…
Thelma: Where?
MC: OK now please watch the MV of Thelma where she collaborated with SOL. What is the highlight of the MV?
Thelma: The stage has front side and back side. And it’s turning around. There were quite a lot of complaints that it made them dizzy. And I thought – I have done it(laughs) But it’s a good MV so please watch! Thelma Aoyama and BigBang SOL – Fall in Love!

[NEWS] LAWYER: DAESUNG MAY RECEIVE MINOR,LESSER CONVICTION IN MOTORCYCLIST'S DEATH
MANILA, Philippines – Following the declaration of the Seoul Yeong Deung Po Police last June 24 that tagged Big Bang member Daesung as the suspect in the death of a motorcyclist that her ran over with his car last May 31, thousands of fans are asking what will happen to the K-pop idol.
Daesung has been indicted without detention. The case is now with Korean prosecutors who will determine what laws have been violated and what charges will be filed against the singer.
Korean media said that Daesung is facing up to five years in prison and a fine of 20 million won (about P803,000).
Bulletin Entertainment sought the opinion of an American lawyer in Seoul regarding Daesung’s case and he says that the singer may end up getting minor and lesser punishment.
Lawyer Michael Sawyer, who works at the Department of Law at Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea, said if the incident happened in the US, Daesung would probably be charged with two crimes: speeding (a less serious crime) and criminally negligent homicide/manslaughter.
The Korean police and the National Forensic Service investigations showed that the victim, Hyun, who was lying on the road after his motorcycle hit a lamppost, died after Daesung’s car ran over him. It was also shown that Daesung was speeding, driving at 70 to 80 km per hour, beyond the limit of 60 km per hour.
Sawyer, who is a practicing attorney in the US and not in South Korea, said criminally negligent homicide/manslaughter can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances and state law (if the crime occurred in the US).
He said in the US, there would be at least two legal issues. The first is whether Daesung’s careless inattention/negligence to keep a clear lookout onto the road in front of his car contributed to the accident.
The second is if his speeding contributed to the accident, Sawyer said. The Korean police said the victim’s body was dragged by Daesung’s car to about 22.8 meters.
He said Daesung’s stature and lack of a prior criminal record will work to his advantage.
“However, perhaps in part due to his fame and lack of a prior criminal record, I suspect that he will walk, perhaps with some minor/lesser conviction on his record,” Sawyer said.
In addition, the payment of “blood money” to the family of the victim may reduce Daesung’s punishment, Sawyer said.
The offer of “blood money,” often brokered by the police, is recognized by the Korean legal system to reduce the punishment of an offender. The mere offering of “blood money” is seen by the legal system as a sign of remorse and can reduce one’s sentence.
“There would probably be a similar result in the USA less the blood money,” Sawyer said.
Other circumstances may work on Daesung’s favor. After the accident, Daesung did not flee the crime scene and cooperated with the police by going to the police station to give his statement. He also passed a breathalyzer test that declared that he was not under the influence when the car accident happened.
Due to the accident, Daesung will not be participating in any activity until the end of the year, YG Entertainment announced.
