As for the males, BIGBANG enjoyed a triumphant return to the top with 27% of the votes, thanks to the ‘double combo’ appeal of Seungri and GD&TOP’s albums. The group had won in 2009, but lost in 2010 to ballad idol group 2AM.

[NEWS] G-DRAGON HAS A VERY SEXY EYE
Teen Top L.Joe admires G-Dragon in recent interview.
"I began to like G-Dragon from boy band Big Bang from when he promoted his song "Heartbreaker." He has a very sexy gaze. I had the chance to say hello to him in the waiting room and I was more nervous than when I gave my debut stage performance. Seriously, that was the first time I thought a guy looked so cool. I couldn't say anything to him because I was so nervous and when I get another chance to talk to him.. Uhm, I will ask him to memorize my name."

[NEWS] G-DRAGON & TOP "RAPPERS ACKNOWLEDGE OUR INSTINCTIVE HIP HOP"
G-Dragon and Top released a duet album, which has already sold as many as 150,000 copies, and four songs included in the album became great hits. Two members of the group Big Bang, G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong, 23) and Top (Choi Seung Hyun, 24), who we met at a café in Yeouido for an interview, discussed their first duet album entitled “GD&TOP,” saying, “We had made music using our heads before, but this time, we made songs using our hearts. G-Dragon, who has sharp voice, and a rapper Top, who has heavy and low voice, created a beautiful harmony like a tenor and bass in vocal music. Big Bang has shown popular songs including rapping, but two members added various genre songs like electronic, disco, and rock to hip hop base in their duet album. They even included a song that sounds like underground music. As they included various music genres in their album, a sense of confidence could be found in their album. Thanks to this new challenge, four songs included in the album -- “Oh Yeah,” ”High High,” ”Knock Out,” and “Don’t Go Home” -- all became hits at the same time, and the order volume exceeded 150,000 copies. They said, “The great thing is that we could be acknowledged by people who had criticized us by saying that we were not real rappers. Underground rappers also changed their thoughts about us. We think that we could change the prejudice towards hip hop, which has not been mainstream music, thanks to our consistent trials for hip hop even though we were idol group members.”
