Editor's note: In the ever changing showbiz, the expiry period of popularity is very short. You can be in the headlines today but tomorrow you might have already been replaced by the latecomers. However, no matter what ways they are heading to finally, the time when they are sparkling the most should be always remembered. Sina Korean Star News is here to lead you to find out their ways of success.
The weekly stars of this week are GD and TOP who came back as a unit group. They have become the 'big bang' in the music industry recently with their irresistible music power.Although we have been prepared already, we have still fallen for their charisma due to the happiness and sincerity that we can find in their music. GD and TOP do not like lecturing us with a long face, since for them, the golden period of life came and will pass fast, it would be better if we seize the days and enjoy our youth right now.
Play with the music as if there is no boundaryThese two men are the ones who have been growing with Rap and possess the aura of hip-hop. Ever since they were in their 10's, GD and TOP has been doing hip-hop music and in various performing occasions, they came into contact with veteran musicians so they seized the chances to learn from them. GD and TOP can understand each other in the field of making music, when they are growing, their music style has changed too- from the weapons of expressing their anger and dissatisfaction towards the society to the playfulness that they have in the music playground even though they are adults now. Whenever we listen to their music, we can be relaxed since their music is unique, outstanding and has the rallying points which are beyond comparison. Once we are enchanted, we can just follow them unconditionally. This powerful vigor can also explain why GD and TOP has been becoming more and more popular.
The album released by the united group has been out on 24/12 and it is filled by unique style which can far be ignored. 'High High' and 'Oh Yeah' combine electronica and hip hop which make two very melodic title songs and these two popular songs also make people from the old to the young feel high. They chose to film the MV of 'High High where GD and TOP were dressed like playboys and their playful looks were really hilarious too. With the featuring of Park Bom, ' Oh Yeah' is a even more easy-to-be-remembered song. According to Yang Hyun Seok, the president of YGE, they will have 5 plugged songs from this album so we can expect GD and TOP will bring us more surprised consistently in the near future. In this album, not only is the music impressive but the lyrics are also the highlights. There are lots of critics comment that the lyrics are so real which are just like their biography. It is said that when these two men came to discuss about their united activities, the first thing came into their minds were lyrics. It was their original intention to write only their stories into the lyrics. YGE has also paid extra attention to the promotion of this album since a very grand world premiere was held a week before their album was released, Yang Hyun Seok had also come to show his support to his boys and prised them a lot afterwards.
In the past, GD regarded being a singer as his career so he would separate what he did on the stage and behind the screen very clearly but such detachment has become less obvious now. However, sometimes, he would feel scared because of it since he is afraid that others would peep into his private life. For they have been working so hard these days, dark circles has been spotted under GD's eyes already. Even though Yang Hyun Seok has already ordered they have to decrease their workload, their jobs are still coming non-stopped.

GD's transformation from the hip- hop boy in the past
Ever since they were debuted, BIGBANG has been staying active continuously so the members do not have time to ponder about more profound things. They get such chances in the past two years. After GD finished promoting his solo album, he was granted a long vacation. During his holiday, he reflected about the past and also thought about the future which enabled him to become more mature in dealing with people and making music. The president has told them they had to look at issues from the perspectives of others so nowadays, the performer on the stage, GD is not the youngster who liked to grumble every now and then but a mature youth who treat every minor issue with a serious attitude.
GD was picked by Yang Hyun Seok when he was studying in primary school for he had showed great music talent and ever since then, GD has regarded producing music as his greatest responsibility in life. 'Lie' established the status of his being a superb music producer and then people has been seeing him as one of the latecomers who is very talented. Although he has been suspected to plagiarize others' music several times, he has been insisting his principle of not responding since he believes that time can tell who holds the truth. 'Heartbreaker' is the turning point of his life for the once so sunny young boy has gradually transformed into a slightly devil man.
TOP acts out his own self

TOP acts out his own self
Contrary to his wild look, TOP has a delicate heart actually and he was the one who felt the most nervous on the stage too. He tried to act cool but that was only his disguise. For this time, the TOP we can see on the stage not only presents us an even outstanding appearance but he also can perform better on the stage. In these two years, TOP has been participating in TV dramas and film, he has also released his solo single. All of these trained his performance skills and strengthened him when he performs on the stage. He no longer waits for the response of his fans anxiously but now he knows how to lead the fans to taste the happiness of enjoying music. In the past, TOP was trying to act out someone on the stage though he also wanted to present his own self, he couldn't for he wanted his audience to enjoy his show more. How to harmonize the feelings of his and the fans has always been his first priority.
TOP and GD have times when they drink beer and share their feelings and they both agree that their present life is blissful yet lonely. In their early 20's, there are still lots of things which are difficult to them and the job of being an artist would also make them confused sometimes since they would doubt whether what they see are real or not. Right from the beginning, it was because they like Hip Hop, they joined YG and became a member of Bigbang. Unexpectedly, the door of acting has also been opened up for TOP later wards and even all of the dramas and film are big production. It is the chance which is yearned by many newcomers. TOP has lived up to our expectation and surprised all of us.
The comeback, which is near
As the top band in Korea music industry, BIGBANG has been focusing on the overseas activities in these two years and they rarely carried out their music activities locally. Even though every member has been active in the fields of music, acting and variety shows, fans still want to hear the music belongs to the whole BIGBANG. The comeback in the form of a united group- GD and TOP has been the pioneer for the whole team and they also let the fans taste what they have matured in these two years.
There are so many people who are curious about what kinds of music BIGBANG will present us after these two years' adventures. GD, as the team leader surely has a lot of expectation about Bigbang's future. Bigbang is not the kind of band who only love to pretend to be cool but in the future, they want to dedicate more warm music to us and lead us to discover the treasures of life through their music.
