[NEWS] GD&TOP TO RELEASE "OH YEAH" AND "HIGH HIGH" IN JAPAN THIS NOVEMBER

YG artists G-Dragon and TOP will be revealing their first Japanese single under their sub-unit in November. The single's title track will be a Japanese version of "Oh Yeah" which features 2NE1's Bom as an extra vocalist. "High High" was said to be included into the tracklist as well. Both songs had their lyrics revised for a Japanese release, and were made to fit to the original one as much as possible. Both songs were originally featured on GD&TOP's debut album.

The Big Bang unit made it easier for both its members to put out music that wouldn't be fitting for the whole group. Their first album was revealed last December and was well received by the Korean fans.

During the holidays, fans pointed out a rumor that the duo might be preparing for their Japanese debut after being spotted at Jeju International Airport together with 2NE1's Bom. Bom further revealed in an update that she has a little secret for her fans, which ignited the speculations even more.

"Oh Yeah (Feat. Bom)" will be released on November 9th and will act as the first release on YG and Avex's joint label YGEX.

[NEWS] G-DRAGON CREATE HUGE ANTICIPANT

Around the months of October and November, the biggest girl groups and hottest ‘icons’ are going to be butting heads, releasing their new albums around the same time for a competitive battle to the top. Big Bang’s G-Dragon will also be unleashing his new album around October.

The rumors and talk about the actual comeback date for Big Bang’s G-Dragon is fluttering around the K-pop industry. That’s how much of an issue his highly anticipated comeback is. Last year in March, G-Dragon announced his first solo promotions, ‘Shine-A-light.’

It is prospected that the second half of the year will be a hot one, due to the artists at the end of the year award ceremonies. There is a truth in the tendency that promotions active near the latter half of the year, as opposed to the early half of the year, receive much more interest and popularity. One music official commented, “No matter how determined and hard the artists promote in the early half of the year, if they don’t have promotions in the latter half of the year, they will be crushed by other artists who promote in the latter half. Even though importance of quality has been raised, there are cases that pressure the rush of the album announcement date. K-pop this October and November is very much highly anticipated and eagerly awaited upon for.”

[NEWS] G-DRAGON SPOTTED WITH A NEW TATTOO

G-Dragon has inked his body multiple times in the past, and it looks like the Big Bang leader recently got another tattoo!

Fan reports began spreading across the internet after G-Dragon was seen publicly at the 2NE1 concert held a few weeks back. At a children’s hospital charity event last week, attentive VIPs noted the tattoo yet again.

The tattoo itself has ignited interest among many, as it features a curious cartoon-like heart with arms and legs running on a path. Turns out that this is a famous icon by Keith Haring that is still commonly seen today.

An artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s, Keith made his mark on the 80′s by painting throughout the New York subway system in chalk. It wasn’t until later that his art made its way above ground to become mainstream. His works consisted of public art and pieces of pop art. His bold lines, vivid colors, and active figures carry strong messages of life and unity.

Even though the mastermind behind those crazy-odd creatures with three eyes or extra-long necks has passed, we can still remember him through his art, and, now, thanks in part to Jeremy Scott for his collaboration with Adidas, in fashion.

[PIC] G-DRAGON MET THE CHILDREN WITH HIS SAME NAME

BIGBANG’s G-Dragon helps a patient with the same name as him put on “Wings of Hope”.

Since 2009, VIP members (gd-supporters.com) have expressed their love for G-Dragon by donating every month out of never ending sincerity. They have helped not only Jiyong but a little girl that suffers from Chronic Renal Failure and a male patient suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta. After this warm news passed on to G-Dragon, he also chose “donating” as his love for his fans.

On September 5th, 2 people with the same name met each other: 4 years old Kwon Jiyong and 24 years old Kwon Jiyong. A healthy looking Jiyong that had reduced his medicine dosage by 1/3, greeted his hyung with the exact same name as him. Even though they were a bit shy because they were unfamiliar with each other but after playing with the toys that G-Dragon had personally prepared, they automatically became closer. After hearing that Jiyong needs to regulate his blood glucose levels every 4 hours, the pain he suffers from taking in food and that he still needs a lot of medical treatment, G-Dragon looked distressed. He stayed with Jiyong and his family for a long time to give them endless support and encouragement.
