Taeyang’s part @ 3:50
(Singing)…
When I said not to leave me
When I wanted you so longingly
Now far away, in a moment’s time far away
It’s all passing by
TAEYANG: … YG suggested I try writing a song for the new album, an R&B song that the three vocals can sing together…. I’m thinking of the melody line and writing lyrics. I don’t know exactly how this song will be used but… It’s the first BB album in a while. In order to show a lot of different colors I figured we should also include a good R&B song… I’m writing right now.

The reason for G-Dragon, TOP and Kush‘s laughter

If you have watched the recent episode of 2NE1TV – BIGBANGTV cut, you might realize a part where GDragon showed TOP and Kush a photo posted online, which shows a set of children toy rings that ‘features’ TOP as the model.

The photo was taken by a fan, and the amusing part of the photo were the printed words (as well as TOP XD), it says ‘A magical ring that will give you powers when you clench your fist” added with a photo of proud-looking TOP from his Turn It Up music video, making the three of them burst out in laughter.

An official statement from the crew reveals, ”We will be holding the ‘2010 YG FAMILY CONCERT‘ on December 4th and 5th at the Seoul Olympic athletic stadium.”

The YG Family has held their “ONE CONCERT” every year since 2003, however fans were left highly disappointed when the concert wasn’t held back in 2008 and in 2009.
Being the first concert in three years, YGE will be bringing together their hottest stars - 2NE1, Gummy, Se7en, and Big Bang.
PSY will also be joining them on stage as the newest family member.

2NE1 has consistently expressed their wish for a concert this year, and it seems as if it’s finally coming true.
Big Bang also commented, “We’re extremely excited at the thought of being able to meet our fans after such a long absence.”

The two-day concert will seat a 36,000 member audience, and tickets start selling on October 21st at 8:00PM through Gmarket.

An Ode to BIGBANG

B to the I to the ...
Gee, I've seemed to have forgotten the rest.
You've been gone for so long,
It feels as if you've put your fans through one big test.
Our devotion to you is as solid and creepy as ever.
If you're wondering if our batshit crazy love has faded,
The answer is never.

Kwon Ji Yong,
It's been way too freaking long.
Your comeback has me excited but nervous too,
Because you like to piss me off when it comes to your hair.
Were those ridiculous curls a dare?
Please, let's just keep it normal for now,
And do not listen to any advice given by an evil cow.
Pay no mind to the uptight netizens,
For not showing off your sex is a mortal sin.
Your swagger, your talent, is far superior to the rest,
That's why having GD as the front man is the fucking best.

Dong Young Bae,
Your glistening, sweaty abs make my day.
I've been having an overdose of you as of late,
Something that has made fangirl life great.
You've thrown us all for a loop with your flirtatious side,
Making us speculate why it's something you no longer hide.
Could it be a new girlfriend in the picture?
If so, you should definitely ditch her.
Skankface doesn't deserve a man of your caliber,
And plus, your crazy fangirls will probably commit murder.
Come back in all your ab-filled glory,
And things on TKPA's blog might get a bit whorey.

Kang Daesung,
We want to bathe your new rippling abs with our tongue.
The recent picture with your mask on your face,
Has made us want to copy the keys to our place,
Mail them along with a plane ticket and a map,
So you better arrive fully decked out in gift wrap.
Your ability to generate laughs has been sorely missed,
Please come back soon or else we'll all be pissed!
We need some sex and laughter in our life,
And girls need to start claiming dibs on being your wife.
Your beautiful voice makes us swoon,
Say you'll be here to make us go insane soon.

Lee Seung-hyun,
Picking on you is so much fun.
Though I hated excluding you from BIGBANG Fridays on the blog,
If you had just shown us your abs, I would have been in a complete fog.
Can you promise us that your come back will include maknae flesh?
What better way to start off fresh!
Why some people forget you include you, I'll never know,
But just remember that they're nothing but a skankoid hoe.
Without you, BIGBANG would not be the same,
Not the same group we love, it'd be totally lame.

Choi Seung-hyun,
There really doesn't need to be,
A rhyming poem, you see.
Your sex appeal is international,
And you make us all act very irrational.
Your smoldering eyes, your deep gravelly voice,
We couldn't resist you if we had a choice!
A few lines of a poem doesn't find all the words to describe you,
So just come back and stare and we'll be re-devoted, boo.

YGE has announced recently that they'll be holding the "YG Family Concert 2010" this coming December 4 and 5.

For this concert, what is getting the most attention is the possibility of BIGBANG's comeback. BIGBANG is currently working on their new album and it was announced before that their comeback is scheduled during the later part of the year. Anticipation from fans that the "YG Family Concert" will possibly be BIGBANG's comeback stage is pouring in.
This has been circulating around Korean fansites (VIPZ, Bestiz, Daum, etc.) and making a lot of fans excited. The info came from Im Ha Young's (soccer player) minihompy who was present at Enjoy Today's recording. She said on October 16 on her minihompy that Seungri mentioned during the filming that BIGBANG's comeback is after 3 weeks, "3주뒺쯤에 comeback할꺼래요ㅋ"

Im Ha Young with Seungri @ ET Recording

Comment by Flibbertigibbet (A Korean YG fan) @ 6theory forums:
"Big Bang's coming back in 3 weeks according to Seungri during an Enjoy Today recording... Fans are speculating the date will be November 4th on TOP's birthday. Seems like a bad time to be honest because all the music shows will be cancelled due to the Asian Games."

The BIGBANG comeback rumor spreads like a wildfire on-line and off-line,it must contain some grain of truth to keep the rumor mill going non-stop and send many VIPs to frustration day and night,in a piece of news regarding to 2NE1 follow-up promo plan on this halloween,YG representative gave a short word on how BIGBANG are doing right now.I omitted the part that's not BIGBANG related.

"The members have been working hard on the recording everyday.At this state,a lot of good songs are done.After they've been away for a long 2 years' time,they're concentrating on producing a good records more than anything else."

I have no reasons to rush them for the comeback,not just because everybody else is releasing their albums like it's a K-Pop fest out there on a daily basis.It will drop when BIGBANG feel that it's the right time and the market will be always ready to embrace them.So,sit back,chillax and let them work their way.

Big Bang fans have patiently waited for the boys to return to the Korean music scene and it now seems they don’t have to wait long.

Big Bang leader G-Dragon recently made an appearance on tvN E News while filming for a G-Market CF and he shared some thoughts about their much anticipated comeback.

When asked about when Big Bang’s upcoming album was going to be released, G-Dragon replied,

“We haven’t met with the fans for so long, it’s been around 2 years now. Right now, the album is around 80% done and you might be able to find us around the middle of November. Please patiently wait for us.”

Very exciting news! It seems, Big Bang’s comeback could be just a few weeks from now. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for us.

Making a comeback with a new album scheduled for this year, Big Bang’s hot new recorded song was surprisingly released on the scene.

2NE1′s Park Bom, featuring in one of the song sings ‘Do Not Go Home, Baby~’ a hundred times and tries to find the best voice out of it.
While we were watching them from the outside of the recording studio, G-Dragon said,
“Park Bom’s voice goes well on all the songs and she likes the song. She has the best voice.” Additionally, G-Dragon stated,
“We cannot release our album if Noona will not be in it” which shall not be feared by many.

Meanwhile, in the London broadcast, they’re working on the story of recording of 2NE1′s album and Big Ben, Buckingham Palace tourist attractions and other places which are like music video scenery. Broadcast starts 6PM KST on the 26th.

- “Which member is best suited for today’s photo shoot?”
G-Dragon responds : “Today, it’s me…”

When the topic of G-Dragon’s unique fashion sense was brought up..

Seungri mentioned : “At home G-Dragon likes to mix and match clothes and tries out around 5 outfits all the time… but out of those 5 outfits, 3 of them look terrible.
However, he ends up going out with the cool outfit every time.”

The host also mentions that G-Dragon is a fashionista and can pull off many looks that most other people couldn’t.

As for their comeback album..

G-Dragon states : “Very soon.”
TOP jokingly says : “It may have very well been released 30 minutes ago and nobody knows about it yet.”

“Recently, Big Bang has received multiple offers to perform for major award ceremonies. We’re very thankful for the interest in Big Bang from the Japanese music industry , however because of a stubborn problem, they will not be able to accept any invitations. The reason is because Big Bang is recording their new Korean album.”
stated YG Entertainment

The 5 members of the male idol group, BIGBANG, are scrambling to finish their preparations for their comeback.

On November 17th, an official from YG’s agency YG Entertainment stated, “BIGBANG is currently finishing their new album. The album will be available for fans as early as December this year or in January at it’s latest.”

Taeyang, TOP, Seungri, Daesung and G-Dragon debuted as rookies in 2006 and their skills grew and they held concerts, then int he second half of 2007 with their big hit “Lie” they emerged as one of the best male idol groups. Since they coined consecutive hits in Korea as well as other parts of Asia, the best boy group is a deserved title.

In Korea, 2008, “Red Sunset” was the tile track to their 2nd album containing new songs, however, since then, no new album has been released. Taeyang, TOP, Daesung, Seungri and G-Dragon have all caught the attention of fans through solo activities but no new album in the name of Big Bang has been released. Because of Big Bang’s announcement of a new Korean album, Korea has turned their attention to them.

A representative from YG said that Big Bang even declined an award ceremony that was going to be held in Japan all because of this album. They said this album was that important to Big Bang.

Soon, Big Bang will be coming out with new things and many are curious as to what new things they’re going to bring to the table this time.

Before they release this new album, on December 4th and 5th, the 2010 YG Family Concert will be held with Se7en, Gummy, 2NE1 and many more.

This year’s best music producers are?

YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun Suk, had substantially the best music production this year as 15 of their songs entered the top 141 songs of the year.

Music site Melon, announced their ‘monthly top 20 songs from January to November’ which came out to 220 songs but excluding the duplicates, there were 141 songs, 15 of which belonged to YG’s artists.

YG Ent’s toughest 4 people, warrior idol 2NE1 was a huge success. 4 songs from their studio album ‘To Anyone’ all made it into the 141 list. “Go Away”, “Can’t Nobody”, “Clap Your Hands”, and “It Hurts” which ranked at #17.

Other 2NE1 songs also made the list. “Follow Me” was ranked at 13 in the February chart, in addition to Park Bom’s “You & I” which ranked at 14 in the January chart and CL and Minzy’s solo “Please Don’t Go” topped the charts at number 10 in January. Thus, a total of 7 songs coming from 2NE1 made the 141 top songs of the year list, demonstrating their strength.

In addition to 2NE1 other YG artists such as Gummy ranked on the list. Gummy with “A Guy Thing”, “Even if I die I love you”, and, “There is no love”. While Se7en’s “Better Together” also made it as well as Big Bang’s “Lollipop Part 2″, TOP’s “Turn it up”, Taeyang’s “I Need A Girl” and lastly PSY’s “Right Now”. Making it a total of 15 songs.

I think that there are many many fans who are waiting for BIGBANG's new album so please let us know the reason why you formed this 2-member unit.
GD: With regards to BIGBANG’s album, we had been preparing for it since previously. But because the other three members were busy due to their various individual activities, the 2 of us ended up recording many songs together. Those people who have been waiting for BIGBANG probably want to hear all 5 of our voices equally. While thinking of that, we came to a conclusion that the two of us will release our recorded songs first, and then the BIGBANG album will be released after that.

How do the other members feel about this group that the 2 of you formed?

T.O.P.: They are under pressure now. (Laugh) They said “Because the two of us have succeeded, by riding on this energy, BIGBANGs album will also succeed.”.

V.I’s solo album will also be released in less than a month. Don’t you have thoughts that you will be rivals against each other?

T.O.P.: Not at all. Because from the start the colour of V.I’s music is completely different from ours. And above that, as we are members from the same band, we support each other and there are no such thoughts of rivalry. For things to go smoothly for all of us, after the group album is released, we will be able to receive interest from many more people…after all, we are all aiming towards the same goal.

During the 2010 MNet Asian Music Awards in Macau last Nov. 28, you performed your new song “Knock Out” for the first time, what was the reason you did not perform your title song “High High”?

T.O.P.: We wanted to meet the many fans who had been waiting for us, and give them an early present first. Over there, we performed to give them a taste of a song which no one would have been able to imagine. It is fan service.

“High High” was released before the album and was released as a digital single on 15 December.

GD: It is a very good song. While showing BIGBANG’s strengths, we also wanted to show a charm that is different from how we are like when we members are together. The lyrics are interesting too and it is a song which was created while giving careful consideration to the visual images.



In general, what kind of album is this?

T.O.P.: While incorporating the HIP-HOP element that is a characteristic of BIGBANG, its HIP-HOP is richer compared to the recent BIGBANG songs. Both of us are rappers and we were able to express our personalities sufficiently.

What were your thoughts after hearing each other’s solo songs?

T.O.P.: Both songs were recorded fairly long ago. When I first heard G.D’s song, I thought it was very fresh and has the characteristic of G.D’s style. I was absorbed into it.

G.D: When you think of T.O.P., you already have a pre-set image in your mind. But the song overthrows that pre-set impression of him and has importance characteristic to him. Furthermore, it has a fresh side to it, and it has many diverse elements like the charms possessed by T.O.P. since long ago.

Your outrageous hairstyles have been a hot topic. What was the reason for these hairstyles?

T.O.P. : This time, it is an album by just me and G.D. Our personalities are distinct so the songs in the album are unique and have different chraracteristics. In other words, this album, which we created to express ourselves, is overflowing with our personalities. What we did is we tried to make our appearance suit the album's diversity. As I have already tried all the styles that I wanted to try, recently, I sort of feel that I am walking on an odd path. Frankly, this hairstyle is also almost too much right… (Laughs)



What do you think of fashion?

G.D: I am pursuing a natural kind of style. Still stylish, even if it's not that obvious.

T.O.P.: I have been trying to follow "classic" fashion. It's the most difficult but interesting. I like collections which fit my body perfectly even if the outfit is unique, in order to look like a gentleman.

By the way, what were your first impressions of each other when you first met? Has it changed now?

T.O.P.: Since we have become adults, what we see has changed, but other then that, the personality and the attitude of challenging oneself while working has always been the same.

G.D: Not just for T.O.P., my first impressions of all the other members too still remain the same now. My first impression of T.O.P. was that he has the frankness of a man, and I think he is still a surprisingly mischievous person. This is still how I think of him.

Among both of your strengths, not taking into account your own, which strength are you envious of?

T.O.P.: My shortcoming is the opposite of the strength G.D possesses. While I am a lazy person when it comes to tiresome things, G.D is always sincere and he doesn’t care how others see him and only focuses on what he himself is able to accomplish.

G.D: I am the type who vastly and superficially handles things without deeply getting to the bottom of what is going on first. I think to be like T.O.P., who goes deeply into something before reaching a conclusion, is amazing. That is what I hope to be.

And, what are your ideal female types? Has it changed from the past?

G.D: In the past, slender girls were my ideal type. But recently, I think that girls I can be together with and have an enjoyable time with are good. Someone whom from the moment that we first meet, I can communicate with without any reservations. Also, a female who devotes herself to her work is good.

T.O.P. : I look at the atmosphere. Someone who is able to react to me is good. My type is someone who can understand my shortcomings and react to me.

Lastly, tell your fans how you feel about this album!

T.O.P.: I only have 2 wishes for this album. Firstly, that everyone will be surprised after listening to it. I am hoping that it will be an album that will cause people to feel the shock of hearing something new which they have never heard before till now. The second wish is that it will be an album that will always remain in their memories. I have been having these wishes while spending the whole night on some days recording. There was a period of time I almost spent all my time continuously at the stage. As it is an album which has that much passion channeled into it, please expect our stage. And please support us.

G.D: As BIGBANG’s album has not really been released yet, there have been various speculations flying around. Such rumours cause fans to waver and I think it is a pity. Because our album this round, and V.I’s upcoming album are albums made for BIGBANG with all of our own ideas, please don’t be shaken by the rumours and only believe in what we say and we will be happy. Also, to make this a memorable album, we will be holding many promotional activities, and I want to show you various sides of us. I will be happy if everyone can enjoy it.

Fan Account:

A few hours ago, I saw 5 of them in the airport. I’m a VIP living in LA; I received rumour/news saying BIGBANG will be flying back to Korea from LA tonight! I was hesitating to go, because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to see them. In the end I decided to go so that I won’t regret. So I immediately speed my car rushing to the airport, and took these photos.

What I can say…luckily I went, or else I would have missed everything! The first person I saw was the cutest maknae Seungri. I looked at him for a long while, because I was too shocked. Staring at Seungri, I
kept patting my sister. My sister saw him and immediately turned back to me, because she was shocked too. Then we clumsily ran to get Seungri’s autograph, showing him GD&TOP’s album. Seungri saw it and said “BIGBANG” pointing to another 4 members. I think he meant “sorry you found a wrong person, I’m not GD&TOP.” Getting out Seungri’s album, my sister said, “No no no.” Immediately Seungri smiled happily. He is really a cute innocent kid. He asked us where we are from,
we said we’re from Taiwan, but live here. I want to let him know there are many Taiwanese support and like them!

Then I looked for other 4 members, soon I found Jiyong, TOP, Taeyang, and Daesung. They were checking in. My sister and I stood in a distance looking at them. We wanted to go closer to take photos, but the officers didn’t let us to do so.

I think Seungri was done checking in so he was walking around. When we were waiting to ask for GD’s autograph, Seungri talked to us in Korean. At first my sister and I had no response, then when we
realized it, he was asking us do we know how to speak Korean. We said “No, just a little.” Then Seungri didn’t say anything else XD

We were thinking how to call Jiyong. It seemed strange to call real name nor “Ah!”. We were afraid he was going to leave soon, so my sister called softly “GD!”, and Jiyong turned back and gave us autograph XD. After that TOP gave us autograph too.

What made us frustrated was that…because we forgot to bring Bebe’s (Taeyang) album, while Daesung didn’t have solo album; “Cotton Candy” was a digital single, not even in a single album. When my sister was getting TOP’s autograph, Daesung and Bebe walked in front of me towards them. I kept looking at them, but I got nothing to let them to sign. At first I wanted to let them sign on my iPod, but I was afraid that, those 3 members sign on their own album, but they got to sign on an iPod as if they are neglected. I saw Daesung smile a bit, that smile made me feel regretful. If I have brought their stuff to let him sign, how good that could be. Even if it doesn’t have (translator note: not sure what she exactly means here), I would like to shake hand with him, telling him I appreciate his talents! So I have decided, when Daesung releases solo album, I will buy 10 to repay him! (Translator note: OH MY DAESUNG! I will do that too!)

Seeing all 5 of them, I have no regret in my life now. They are very cute but very skinny, especially Daesung, I was really shocked that he is so skinny! I hope they will take care of their health, don’t get
too tired!

Thanks chingu (translator note: friends) for reading my long writing. I hope one day all of you would meet BIGBANG too.

Translator notes: Some Taiwanese/Chinese expressions and slangs were hard to translate. Members' names and Korean words like Bebe, Jiyong and occasionally GD, maknae, chingu were used in the original article.
