[NEWS] WILL BIGBANG MAKE IT BIG IN EUROPE ?
Big Bang is arguably the hottest band in Korea right now and their presence overseas continues to grow as well. Similar to other idol bands, they have a huge following in other parts of Asia, especially in Japan. Originally starting out as a hip-hop inspired band, Big Bang is particularly gaining recognition from fellow hip-hop musicians worldwide. U.S. rapper Flo Rida has admitted to being a fan of G-Dragon as he even invited G-Dragon as a special guest for his concert in Korea. American DJ/Producer Diplo, who’s previously worked with Kid Cudi, Snoop Dogg, and Bruno Mars, lauded GD & T.O.P as “rapper rappers” with “crazy flow,” adding they have a rapping style far superior to that of American musicians. In a recent poll in Japan, fans went as far to pick G-Dragon as a better rapper than Eminem. But Big Bang’s musical style has changed to incorporate a lot of different musical genres including electronic and rock, and fan response has been higher than ever. Plus they are choreographed by Shaun Evaristo, one of the most renowned dancers in the world, giving fans more reasons to follow their acts. Last February, Soompi and YGE ran a joint “Big Bang Contest” where more than 900 contestants from 30 different countries, many of which were from Europe, participated. TIME magazine once described Big Bang as the “most promising” Korean musician to advance into Japan, and we see no reason why they won’t succeed in the European market as well.

[NEWS] G-DRAGON IS A YOUNG GENIUS MUSICIAN
In a recent interview, comedian Park Myung Soo only had words of praise for Big Bang’s leader and producer, G-Dragon.
Giving themselves the name ‘GG‘, Park Myung Soo and G-Dragon recently teamed up to present viewers with a special song on MBC’s “Infinity Challenge” at the West Coast Highway Song Festival.
On June 15th, Park Myung Soo expressed through his phone interview, “While working with G-Dragon, I realized that he truly was a young musical genius. If I made a request about something, he would immediately present me with not one, but three different ideas”.
He continued, “At first, I had difficulty adjusting to Big Bang’s style of music, so we had to overcome our fundamental musical differences. However, G-Dragon wrote a song that was easy enough for me to follow along with, and made sure that the song still sounded great. Thanks to him, I was able to naturally close the gap between our music styles. I’m sure that many people will enjoy the song G-Dragon and I worked on together”.
Meanwhile, the special ‘West Coast Highway Song Festival’ of “Infinity Challenge” will start airing on July 2nd as part of a special 4-week series.

[NEWS] BIGBANG'S BLOOD TYPES
Characterizing personality by blood type is quite popular in Asian countries, and the phenomenon is comparable to the idea of matching horoscope with someone’s personality in the States. If you have had any Korean or Japanese friends, you’ve probably been asked, “What’s your blood type?” at one point in your life. While
looking to your blood type to make sense of your personality may seem like a far-fetched idea, sometimes you just can’t deny how accurately they characterize you. Plus, it’s all for fun and games!
Blood Type A : Kind, Careful, Perfectionist (G-Dragon)
People with blood type A are usually serious, patient, and perfectionists. They like to plan things out in detail before pursuing their goals. They’re very cautious and stubborn, and others perceive their desire to make everything perfect as obsessive and uptight. Type As are also very timid and indecisive in awkward situations. They’re sensitive and sentimental, often forgetting reality and getting lost in dreams.
Best traits: conservative, introverted, patient, punctual, perfectionists
Worst traits: obsessive, stubborn, self-conscious, uptight, cautious
Blood Type B: Bright, Attractive, Frank (TOP & Taeyang)
Men with blood type B have acquired a very negative reputation in Korea. They’re often described as selfish and temperamental. To a degree, they’re considered the worst husband materials because of their “playboy” nature. That said, women are often attracted to men with the “bad-boy” image. A spontaneous and passionate type B man. However, her sister is completely against the two together in fear that her sister will end up as another victim of his whims. While type B men have acquired such negative reputations, women with this blood type do not share the same bad rep. People with blood type B are known to be passionate and creative, yet sometimes they get caught up in their own world and end up seeing self-centered to others. If they find something they’re interested in, they’ll forget everything else. On the other hand, they also get bored easily.
Best traits: creative, individualistic, passionate
Worst traits: irresponsible, self-centered, vain
You don’t have to be a fan of Big Bang’s TOP (Choi Seung Hyun) to see his passion for his craft in his eyes. Behind his dark manliners lies a sharp and charismatic thirst for success. He’s considered one of the most talented rappers among Korean boy bands and the best singer-actor in the industry. He won the Best Male Rookie award at the 31st Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Best New Actor, as well as the Most Popular Award, at the 47th Baeksang Awards, for his role in the blockbuster movie “Into the Fire,” starring A-listers Kim Seung Woo, Kwon Sang Woo, and Cha Seung Won.
Blood Type O: Social, Active, Curious (Daesung)
People with blood type O are kind and place great emphasis on peace. They have bright personalities and a talent to lead others. Passion and honesty are among their greatest traits. Type Os make friends easily wherever they go and have great social skills. While they are curious about many thing, they get bored just as easily. To others, they seem like cool and controlled, but they also make big mistakes because of their careless characteristics.
Best traits: ambitious, athletic, confident
World straits: arrogant, vain, careless

[NEWS] FRENCH & SPANISH ARE BIGBANG FANS
Korean pop, or K-pop, is driving the Korean Wave abroad and Asian women in their 20s make up the majority of overseas hallyu fans, a survey found on Monday.
The Korea Tourism Organization conducted the online hallyu survey on 12,085 non-Korean visitors from 102 countries to its website (www.visitkorea.or.kr) from May 11 to May 31, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the website. The survey asked seven questions related to the Korean Wave in eight languages ― English, Japanese, traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, German, French, Spanish and Russian ― on the site, via e-mail and on social networking services such as Twitter and Facebook.
Asked to select a category of hallyu that interests them, 55 percent of respondents, 6,447 people, picked K-pop. This was followed by TV drama with 33 percent, film with 6 percent and others with 7 percent. Others included TV variety shows such as KBS’ “2 Days & 1 Night,” Korean food, shopping and cosmetics.
Out of the 12,085 respondents, 9,253 were from Asia, 2,158 from Europe, 502 from the Americas, 112 from Africa and 60 from Oceania.
By age group, 49 percent of the respondents were in their twenties, followed by those in their thirties at 18 percent, teenagers at 17 percent and those in their forties at 8 percent.
By gender, 90 percent or 10,826 respondents were female.
Asked which hallyu celebrity they wish to travel with in Korea among 30 stars or groups recommended by the KTO,Five-member band Bigbang came second with 9 percent.
The interest in hallyu celebrity differed from language to language. French and Spanish users preferred Bigbang.
Japanese users showed more interest in TV drama than in K-pop and more than 50 percent of Japanese respondents were women in their 40s and 50s. Japanese in their 20s and 30s showed the strongest interest in K-pop.
Among the French speaking respondents, K-pop fans were mostly teenagers or in their 20s, and preferred going to amusement parks or karaoke to experiencing Korea’s traditional culture and history, the KTO said.
Foreign respondents overseas picked Seoul and Jeju Island as the travel destination in Korea that they would like to visit with their hallyu star.
