[NEWS] YG REVEAL POSTPONEMENT OF GD & TOP'S JAPANESE ALBUM
YG Entertainment has revealed that the postponement of GD&TOP‘s Japanese album was a voluntary decision made by both their officials and avex Entertainment.
Through OSEN, representatives stated, “We’d like to apologize for concerning our fans with such an issue. We’ve decided that it would not be proper to continue with our Japanese promotions in such a situation and made a request to avex Entertainment to postpone GD&TOP’s Japanese album release.”
They continued, “Although some seem to think that Big Bang‘s Japanese activities will be greatly affected by this controversy, they are merely assumptions made by people who don’t know the entire situation. avex Entertainment did not inform YG that the album will be canceled – it was a decision made by the cooperation of both parties. The notification put up on avex’s homepage was, of course, discussed by both parties before its release.”

[INTERVIEW] G-DRAGON INTERVIEW ON 1st LOOK MAGAZINE
[Cover Story] Rule The Nation
G-Dragon is suggesting a new standard in the Korean pop music industry. His thoughts on fashion, music, musicians and K-wave. His thoughts are bigger and broader than expected.
The era of dance artists and idol groups started in the 1990s. Despite its short history, the people who changed the trend of their time will always be there. People like Seo Taiji & Boys, Deuce, and H.O.T set some standards through their music and dance before. Isn’t G-Dragon someone who can succeed this kind of legacy? This enfant terrible, who is the leader of Big Bang and also a solo musician himself, is only 24 years old. Of course, his beginning was not too different from other idol stars. Being selected at an early age, he was raised as a star going through the stage of a so-called “trainee.” However, G-Dragon did not simply constrain himself with singing and dancing, he is now working as an idea bank and a producer who controls fashion, attitude, choreography, stage design, album art work, not to mention the music composing. This is why we cannot just call him and Big Bang a mere idol group.
G-Dragon : “YG made all things possible -- the environment, the way people work and everything. Family-ship is really strong here. We are all like brothers, so we are really not “working” but “playing” together. When we work with the intention of producing a hit song and a very popular music, it never works out well. Rather, when we work while hanging out with a drink or playing games and suddenly come up with an idea, that's when the song really works well. Even during holidays I would come to the office and hang out with my brothers, working and hanging out with them. I think this is the reason why I can work more than others and make good music.”
[NEWS] G-DRAGON & TOP'S JAPANESE SINGLE RELEASE WAS CANCELLED
Member of BIGBANG, G-Dragon, was investigated by the prosecutor's office in Seoul (South Korea) due to suspicion of smoking marijuana last May. The result of the drug test came out positive but there weren't any legal penalties because only the hair test was positive.
Avex and YG Entertainment had a discussion after Avex heard the announcement. G-Dragon received a suspension of indictment but the news has an influence on (how he will be viewed by) Japanese society. Because of this, Avex has considered this fact sincerely and has decided to cancel the release of GD&TOP's Japanese single, Oh Yeah (feat Bom of 2NE1) on November 9th, even if the incident happened before they had a contract with Avex.
We apologize to everyone and to all of the fans for this incident. We will try our best so that something like this will not happen ever again.

[NEWS] SEVEN VISITS G-DRAGON DURING NORTH FACE PHOTOSHOOT
It’s been revealed that YG Entertainment artist Se7en and 2NE1‘s former stylist Yang Seung Ho paid G-Dragon a visit while he was on set for his North Face photoshoot in Kangnam, Seoul.
In order to prevent news reporters from flooding the scene, YG Entertainment had purposely called in to say that the photoshoot had been canceled. Korean media outlets later reported that this was not the case, and that G-Dragon had completed the photoshoot as planned.
On October 5th, G-Dragon arrived at the studio at 6:00 PM and left the building around six hours later. When arriving, the agency van parked directly in front of the building entrance and prevented outsiders from entering the studio. After the photoshoot, G-Dragon discreetly slipped out of the building and left the scene.
An official from the photoshoot revealed that G-Dragon was (understandably) not his usual bright self, and the photoshoot had a rather gloomy atmosphere. The official stated, “The usually mischievous G-Dragon was nowhere to be seen. It’s unfortunate.”
It’s said that his close friends, Se7en and stylist Yang Seung Ho, came to the studio and stayed around 3 to 4 hours to lend G-Dragon their support.
A staff member present at the studio revealed, “Se7en is the hyung whom G-Dragon relies on the most. His expression became brighter as soon as Se7en stepped into the studio. Even T.O.P, who had already finished filming, stayed behind to show his support. But Yang Hyun Suk and the other YG Entertainment representatives did not appear at the scene.”

[NEWS] G-DRAGON COMPLETES NORTH FACE PHOTO SHOOT WITH BIGBANG AS PLANNED
Although the Korean media reported yesterday that Big Bang had canceled a scheduled photoshoot for a North Face advertisement in light of recent events, it was revealed that G-Dragon and the Big Bang members had attended the photoshoot as planned on October 5th.
An official from the advertising industry stated, “A star’s every action heavily affects the advertising world. But taking into consideration that G-Dragon was not officially indicted, he’s most likely to not run into significant problems.”
It’s also been reported that the many brands Big Bang is currently endorsing have not yet approached YG Entertainment with any issues.
