G-Dragon talks about being depressed because of plagiarism accusations [NEWS]



During GD&TOP's guesting on Night After Night, the topic of G-Dragon being picked as the #1 overrated musician came up. When asked about it, he answered:
"It's the truth. People have never told me I was a genius or that I was good at music. When that article came out, I was glad because it was the truth."
When asked about the plagiarism accusations against Heartbreaker, he answered:
"I feel like it depends on the person. I think it's a part I have to fix, so I don't make a mistake next time. The only thing I can do as a singer is to show a better stage next time instead of writing an apology. I didn't do anything wrong, but I ignored family and friends' calls and I felt like I had done something wrong. I was depressed, and all the attacks hurt me. I wondered what made them think those things about me. But I felt like I had to move on."

TOP mengungkapkan bahwa sebelum Big Bang debut dan sebelum Hyunseung dikeluarkan dari grup, ke-enam anggota telah hidup bersama dalam satu asrama, dan mereka sering pergi keluar untuk makanbarbeque setelah latihan. Ketika itu adalah pekerjaan Daesung dan Hyunseung untuk memasak daging untuk hyung-nya.

Ia melanjutkan dan berkata, “Suatu hari Daesung dan Hyunseung menyadari Seungri tidak pernah memasak meskipun dia maknae. Jadi mereka ingin  mengetahui kenapa, tapi dia hanya menjawab,” Aku tidak bisa memasak daging, “dan keduanya kaget karena jawabannya. “
Namun, masalah yang terjadi setelah itu adalah ketika Hyunseung membawa Seungri keluar. Seungri menutup  salah satu sisi wajahnya dengan tangan dan berkata, “Aku tidak banyak mendapat pukulan.” Dia bercanda  dan berpose seolah-olah dia mendapatkan pukulan, membuat semua orang tertawa.

Taeyang (BIGBANG)


On January 9th, YG Entertainment told OSEN:
“On the 8th, Big Bang’s Taeyang left for America through Incheon Airport. He will be staying there for around two weeks.”
With Big Bang’s comeback scheduled for February, why did Taeyang suddenly take a trip to America?
“It wasn’t a personal reason, but it was for him to receive dance lessons. In order to show an upgraded performance, he went to meet with famous choreographers.
The members are having a short rest before their upcoming album release, but Taeyang volunteered to receive dancing lessons instead. His eagerness is outstanding.”
With the increasing anticipation from fans and music industry associates alike, it was reported that the members are throwing in as much passion and dedication as they can into their album preparations. G-Dragon told OSEN in a recent interview:
“As much as the fans have been waiting, we will come out with a lot prepared and give them great songs. We’ll completely fill the album with good songs and show songs that express our various tastes and personalities.”
T.O.P also expressed:
“Aren’t people saying that these days, the popular music industry is a generation of three week albums? No matter how much effort you put in, if it passes three weeks, there is no opportunity left to show what you have to your fans. Big Bang will surpass those boundaries and will satisfy everyone’s anticipation by going all-in on our album production.”

Daesung and Hyunseung got mad at Seungri because of? [NEWS]



At SBS Night After Night's competition corner, G-Dragon and T.O.P appeared on the “court seats” to go against the comments, “I am not a cold city person” vs. “I am not the type of person who acts cool."

At the recording, T.O.P revealed a situation when Daesung and Hyunseung were mad at Seungri before when the five members of Big Bang and the current BEAST member Jang Hyunseung shared dorms.

During their trainee days, the six people used to go eat samgeupsal (Korean bacon) after practice and Daesung and Hyunseung were the members that always had to flip the meat as it cooked. However, on one day, Daesung and Hyunseung had started to question why they were always the one to cook the meat while the youngest Seungri continued to eat. So after holding it in for several times, Daesung and Hyunseung had made up their mind to complain to Seungri. But after an unexpected word from Seungri, Daesung and Hyunseung’s plan turned into ashes.

Also, a problem arose that night. When everyone else had returned home, Hyunseung and Seungri ended up coming back to the dorm very late. While T.O.P, Jiyong, and Taeyang were waiting in worry, Seungri had walked in acting drunk, making the recording studio go wild with laughter.

The truth behind Seungri, Daesung, and Hyunseung’s samgeupsal situation will be revealed on January 10th at 11:15 KST on SBS .
