[NEWS] Big Bang Wraps Up Americas Concert Tour With Successful Concert in Peru

[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.”
