[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.

[NEWS] G-Dragon and Daesung to appear on SBS "Healing Camp"
Big Bang’s G-Dragon and Daesung will be making appearances on SBS’ Healing Camp.
A source from the broadcast told enews on February 10, “G-Dragon and Daesung attended the shoot for the SBS talk show Healing Camp on February 9. The two told their stories with an honest attitude.”
The two members talked about what their situation was like last year while they took time off from their career. This is the first time they will be opening up on the issue.
On May 31, Daesung crashed into a taxi stopped on Seoul’s Yanghwa Bridge and then hit the motorcycle driver Mr. Hyun, who had been knocked over nearby. Hyun was killed by the crash.
In the case of G-Dragon, he tested positive for drugs from a hair test in July after it was discovered in May that he had smoked marijuana in a Japan club, but was given a probation for many reasons including that his offense wasn’t serious enough for him to be sentenced as a drug offender.
After the two members had been involved in these incidents, Big Bang had to announce it was going on hiatus, and postponed all plans for its new album. Daesung recently made a comeback with the MBN drama What’s Up, and G-Dragon started performing again at the YG Family Concert.
The episode featuring Daesung and G-Dragon will air near the end of February.
