[NEWS] BigBang Performs at the Prudential Center
NEWARK — What you have to understand is that “Gangnam Style,” the goofy crossover hit that has given K-pop a global profile — it has even reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — is still something of an outlier, a lightly ironic sendup of the genre’s eccentricities. But it’s very hard to parody something that gets more outrageous by the day.
If anything, the center of K-pop is far stranger. Take “Crayon,” by G-Dragon, an electro-rave-meets-Southern-hip-hop thumper with a video that makes the excesses of, say, Missy Elliott and Nicki Minaj in that medium look like tiny incremental gains. It is kaleidoscopically weird, hilariously comic and sinisterly effective.

[NEWS] Leading up to its Newark shows, is Big Bang ready to bring K-pop to the U.S. ?
Among recent popular K-pop acts, Big Bang has the most Westernized sound. The quintet, whose members also have solo careers, mix hip-hop, R&B, rock and electronic styles and cite Wu-Tang Clan and Michael Jackson as musical influences.
For Stella Kim, who bought $325 VIP tickets to catch the Big Bang show in Newark on Friday, her love of Korean pop music didn't start until college and has been a way to connect with her roots. "I grew up in a Caucasian neighborhood in Rockland County [Tappan, N.Y.]. My Korean was really bad in high school. I always wanted to be a part of Korean culture and didn't know where to begin," said the 24-year-old, now in Manhattan, who is a marketing manager for celebrity fragrance lines.
Kim, who is also a fan of Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Eminem, said she loves Big Bang's fashion, their genre-mixing sound and that they write some of their own songs. "Each one of them has their own unique characteristics. They work together so well, and all of them shine in their own light," she said.
She's betting that Big Bang is likely to make the biggest impact here. "I think a lot of Korean groups are trying to come into the American market," she said. "I'm not saying this just as a fan, but [Big Bang's] music and style has the most potential here."

[NEWS] G-Dragon Expresses His Patriotism
G-Dragon is attracting a lot of attention for his patriotism. Recently photos of GD during his world tour made their way to several online communities, drawing much interest.
In the photos, GD appeared hip and trendy as usual in a wild pink jacket. What especially drew netizens’ attention were the Taegeukki (the Korean national flag) and the words Dae Han Min Kuk (the Republic of Korea) printed on the back of his jacket.
Netizens who’ve seen the photo commented, “G-Dragon sure has great taste,” “Love the Taegeukki on the back,” “GD and national pride!” “I think the jacket would sell well if it were on sale,” “So cool and chic,” and more.
Meanwhile, Big Bang will be performing before 24,000 fans at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey this weekend. They will then head over to Peru and wrap up their North and South American tour.
