T.O.P, "President YG supports BIGBANG dating", a surprise confession.

Big Bang’s G-Dragon and T.O.P were recently interviewed for KBS 2TV ‘Entertainment Relay‘.

The duo also affirmatively said “No” when the reporter asked if they had any girlfriends. Slyly, the reported then asked, “Are you sure that’s not an answer with your boss in mind?”.

bigbang ice cream

More Big Bang x Marvelous Ice Cream Photos + Short Review [PHOTOS]

Hello! My BIGBANG x MARVELOUS JAPAN ice cream finally arrived. Sharing some photos and what I think of the flavors~

The limited edition "BIGBANG TOWER".

It's really big. It's about 40cm high~

The monochromatic covers:

★ G-Dragon's Strawberry Rose Chocolate ★

The packaging:

Inside:

My Review:

The gold vanilla ice was very thick and the strawberry flavor was strong (but not too sweet). I tried it with coffee and was surprised that it tasted good together! Such an expected combination ^^

★ SOL's Chocolate Banana ★

The packaging:

Inside:

My Review:

I really love this flavor! I love that the banana flavor was not too sweet and that the choco-chip layer really tasted like choco-chip cookies. But the chocolate layer was a little too sweet for me.

★ T.O.P's Strawberry Azuki Beans ★

The packaging:

Inside:

My Review:

As soon as I tasted it, I knew right away what kind of ice cream T.O.P likes! This flavor is VERYYYYY SWEET! But I think the strawberry flavor was able to balance out the sweetness a bit. There are 2 small rice cakes in between the strawberry ice and the sauce. It reminded me of Japanese sweets, Ichigo Daifuku.

★ D-Lite's Melon Milk Cake ★

The packaging:

Inside:

My Review:

I think D-Lite's ice cream matches well with his character. The melon flavor has a subtle fruity taste and the ice cream was soft and very creamy.

★ V.I's Raspberry White Chocolate ★

The packaging:

Inside:

My Review:

I think V.I was smart in combining the raspberry sauce with the franc boise ice. The sweet and sour taste of the raspberry went well with the light flavor of the franc boise ice. The ivory white chocolate ice cream was very creamy and overall, I think that this is the sweetest among all the flavors :P

☆ ✰ ☆ ✰ ☆ ✰ ☆ ✰ ☆ ✰ ☆ ✰ ☆

Eating BIGBANG's ice cream inspired me to make some replica made of clay. In order: GD, SOL, T.O.P, D-Lite and then V.I's~

best idol groups of the decade & the most anticipated artists

Big Bang and G-Dragon among the best idol groups of the decade & the most anticipated artists [NEWS]

The first decade after the new millennium is finally drawing to a close. Having the most dense history of mankind with the most upheavals than any other generation, the change in culture in the past 10 years is no exception.

New content was constantly produced at an unimaginable speed, and a variety of new spheres were created. Both the producers and consumers of culture got distracted by some of the greatest-known turmoils and, as a result, were unknowingly swept up by the waves of change. Kyung Hyang Newspaper analyzed the last 10 years of Korean culture in closer detail.

‘Digital singles’, ‘bell sounds’, ‘ringtones’, ‘BGM’, ‘sound source’ – these are newly created terms of the 21st century that have now been added into everyday language. The following example will show how the meanings of these terms have changed in the past decade with regards to the mass music market, in comparison to past generations.

From ‘album’ to ’sound source’

When selling physical CD albums were at its peak, it was common to release 10~12 songs in one album which consisted of a variety of genres. During these times, there were many lively discussions about the singers’ musical philosophies and values that were sensed throughout the whole album, but ever since the establishment of online music sites where people were able to download a single song at a time, these discussions quickly became meaningless. Almost instantaneously, virtues of music on whether a song can catch the attention of the general public began to emerge.

The listening environment also began to change as a result of the materialization of MP3 players and other digital devices that made it easier for people to easily listen to music anywhere, as well as download and delete songs freely. Downloading background music for home pages, ringtones, bell sounds, advertisement songs and online games quickly became a leading trend in the music market, and this phase is only getting deeper. This change in phase is also currently bringing out progressive changes in the means of consumption and marketing techniques. Composer Kim Hyun Suk expressed, “The most principal feature to take advantage of on music sites is the one minute previews of songs – the established formula is that if you can’t catch the attention of the consumer in that one minute, it’s over. If you were able to feel the value of a song through music in physical albums, then the current era disgraces the value of music as if it’s some cheap accessory.”

Music experts evaluated that some idol groups and their agencies have managed to secure competitiveness at a global level. The major restructuring of the music market to make idols the core of popular music also modified the environment of the media. It is becoming more difficult to watch TV show programs with singers who are not idols. “As music genres become more biased, the range in personalities of musicians, which is considered the source of diversification for popular music, is rapidly shrinking,” expressed music critic Im Jin Mo.

Meanwhile, three of the eight respondents chose Big Bang’s G-Dragon as one of the three singers whose activities will grab the most interest in the next decade to come.

100% satisfied with G-Dragon and T.O.P's performance

President YG, 100% satisfied with G-Dragon and T.O.P's performance [NEWS]

BIGBANG's G-Dragon and T.O.P just completed their colorful and addictive stage on the 19th. Yang Hyun Seok, YG Entertainment's president said he was "100% satisfied" with their performance.

Watching the two boys' comeback stage on Inkigayo, Yang Hyun seok looked tense. But after they finished, he gave them a big applause and wore a big smile on his face. Here's a short Q&A session with him after:

Congratulations! What do you think of their comeback stage today?
YG: I am very satisfied. They were very nervous but they ended up with a very good performance. They are pleased about it too.

Did you think they will be successful?
YG: I was not quite sure because it is different from the union of the whole group. The success of BIGBANG (in their early stage) pressured them but I think that is good.

How was the response from the fans?
YG: They were very pleased too. Thanks. They will be using Knock Out, High High and Oh Yeah as their three title songs, just like 2NE1. Park Bom also performed with them together (for Oh Yeah) on the stage today which made it even more brilliant. Thank you very much.

Can you introduce the songs?
YG: High High is a mix of house electronica and hip-hop and its melody is impressive, which lets them enjoy a powerful stage. GD and T.O.P are particularly charming when performing intense kind of music . Their music, coupled with their special fashion sense, definitely gives people a shock. Oh Yeah is an impressive song with some of the lyrics sung by Park Bom of 2ne1, who certainly enhanced the stage performance.

What activities will this unit group have?
YG: We were already too tired today so we went home early. Tomorrow, we will have a discussion with the director of the music video of High High, then we will do some shooting. It might be the music video which will have the strongest impact. They are scheduled to appear at different events and on TV programs at the end of the year.
