Sandara Park, “G-Dragon is a romantic" [NEWS]

2NE1 member, Sandara Park unveiled a cute story with G-Dragon.

On January 29, Sandara Park revealed on KBSTV2 Entertainment Tonight (MC Shin Hyun Jun) that:

"G-Dragon is someone you’d think ‘This is a man I hope to find good romance with,’ though you won’t think it of him.

Not long ago, I went to ski with G-Dragon. Usually, though it’s not something many people believe, G-Dragon is not one who says so many words. So he got my ski board that I was carrying, without saying anything.

G-Dragon's comment on this:

“Sandara Park was holding this board that looked like twice her weight. It looked hard for her. So without care, I got it, her thanks is enough."

Who is Seungri's favorite Big Bang member? [NEWS/VIDEO]

Last January 26, Seungri was a guest on the MBC Radio program, 'Best Friend' of No Hong Chul. He sang his album tracks, "VVIP" and "Open the Window", and also gave an interview in which he was asked which of his bandmates he liked the most.

When No Hong Chul asked for Seungri's favourite member of Big Bang, he answered by naming G-Dragon, who always shows off with a cool and charismatic appearance on TV programs. However, when Big Bang's leader is around his bandmates, he often acts cute in order to cheer everyone up.

Seungri visualizes this by imitating G-Dragon's way of cheering one up. Take a look at his imitation below!

YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyunsuk's voice is infamous as YG artists are always imitating his voice in a high, nasally and comic way. Yang Hyunsuk said in an interview:

"My artists are always imitating me, so of course I would watch the shows they're on. They never do this in front of me but when I see them imitating my voice on shows, I think 'Ah! So they always fool around like this' and 'Ah! So my tone is like this'. I'm not unhappy with the imitations, in fact I find it very interesting."

He also said that he likes PSY and Big Bang's G-Dragon and Seungri's imitations the most, stating:

"When I saw G-Dragon and PSY imitating me on a show, I thought it was very similar and very funny. Seungri imitated my voice at last year's YG Family concert. It was very well done."

Seungri not promoting on Music Bank, might be the same for Big Bang's comeback? [NEWS]

Seungri not promoting on Music Bank, might be the same for Big Bang's comeback? [NEWS]

It seems fans have been unable to see YG Entertainment artists performing on KBS’s Music Bank for some time now due to the label declaring a non-attendance to the public broadcast network’s 2010 KBS Music Festival.

A representative of the music industry spoke with Star News on January 27th and revealed:

“Despite GD&TOP and Seungri being well into their promotion cycles, YG Entertainment artists have not once made an appearance on KBS’s Music Bank since restarting their activities. GD&TOP and Seungri make weekly appearances on MBC’s Music Core and SBS’s Inkigayo, and for a longer period, it seems that YG representatives won’t be sending their artists to appear on Music Bank, which goes the same for Big Bang’s comeback next month.”

Some are speculating that YG’s inability to appear on Music Bank is due to the artists refusing to attend the year-end “2010 KBS Music Festival” last year. At that time, representatives of YG expressed:

“We are not able to understand why the ‘Gayo Festival’ is giving a ‘best popularity award’ when they declared that they wouldn’t.” 

YG artists instead attended MBC and SBS’s year-end ceremonies, both of which did not contain award components. KBS had clarified that the festival overall focused on music and not the awards, and retorted that they too failed to understand YG’s decision.

Since then, YG artists have not been making appearances on Music Bank. Despite the controversy, representatives of the label explained:

 “We do not have a bad relationship with Music Bank.”

After missing out on Music Bank last week despite apppearing on all other music shows, Seungri will continue to be absent on the January 28th episode.

Big Bang to watch the premiere of Big Show 2010 in 3D with fans [NEWS]

Boy band Big Bang will hold a special premiere event for their upcoming 3D film on Friday, according to SBS Contents Hub on Wednesday.

A press release by SBS said today that a premiere event for the big screen version of Big Bang’s annual concert "2010 BIG BANG LIVE CONCERT BIG SHOW" in 3D format set for release on February 2, will take place at the CGV Wangshimni Theater in Seoul this coming Friday.

Fans will be able to purchase tickets to take part in the event which will be attended by all five members of Big Bang.

The upcoming release, a 90-minute film, will feature the first day of Big Bang’s three-day concert held from January 29 to 31 last year. It will also contain scenes from backstage that were not included in their formerly released DVD on the show.

Meanwhile, the group’s annual concert for this year, set to take place at the Gymnastic Stadium of the Olympic Park from February 25 to 27, reported a complete sellout of 40,000 seats last week.

Big Bang, known as one of the most popular boy bands in the country for both their music and fashion, is set to make a full-fledged comeback to the local music scene on February 25 after a two-year hiatus.

The group composed of G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri, has been leading solo or unit activities.

Starting May, Big Bang also plans to hold a nationwide tour in Japan where they are expected to perform for a total 160,000 fans.
