Still cuts of Big Bang‘s T.O.P from the movie ‘Alumni‘ have been gathering attention online.

The images of T.O.P, who’s playing the lead role, in uniform have been causing a lot of talk among fans and netizens. His clean-cut hair and neat uniform bring out a different side to the Big Bang member, who’s usually seen rocking a more eye-catching style.

Netizens commented, “I’m looking forward to the movie”, “T.O.P’s crazy good looks“, “He looks best when he’s expressionless“, and more.

Are you looking forward to ‘Alumni’?

[WEB] The New York Times selects Big Bang & 2NE1 concerts for ‘Best Concerts of 2012′

2012 was a huge year for YG Entertainment, lead by Psy, their popularity has truly gone global. With their growing influence, two of their top acts held their first World Tours.

The ladies of 2NE1 embarked on their ‘New Evolution World Tour‘ back on July 28th in Seoul. They then proceeded to visit the United States (Newark & Los Angeles), Japan (Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama, Saitama), Taiwan (Taipei), and finally Singapore.

Big Bang also held the first global tour of their own and it was on an even larger scale. Korean conglomerate Samsung signed on to officially sponsor the tour, endorsing their Galaxy line of phones as it was named the ‘Alive Galaxy Tour‘. They also formed a partnership with Live Nation. The tour kicked off in Seoul back in March, they initially planned only 25 shows but due to the high demand, the tour actually amounted to 48 shows in 13 different countries. After the Seoul concert they concentrated on Asia visiting Japan (Nagoya, Yokohama, Osaka, Saitama, Fukuoka, Tokyo), China (Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Hong Kong), Singapore, Thailand (Bangkok), Indonesia (Jakarta), Taiwan (Taipei), Philippines (Manila), and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur). They also visited Europe, North America, and South America with stops in England (London), the United States (Anaheim, Newark), and Peru (Lima). Big Bang will have 2 more concerts in Osaka and then finally wrap up their epic tour in Seoul from January 25 to January 27.

The New York Times took notice and selected both of their concerts in Newark’s Prudential Center for their ‘Best Concerts of 2012‘ list.

They wrote:

A concert is always more than just a rendering of songs. It’s a musical revamp, a real-time test, a spectacle, a pop-up community, perhaps a dance party or an incipient riot — and, even in the YouTube era, an ephemeral, site-specific experience. Here the pop and jazz critics of The New York Times recall some of their favorite live events of 2012, in order of importance.

2NE1 Aug. 17, and BIGBANG Nov. 8, both at Prudential Center, Newark. This was the year K-pop arrived — not in the form of “Gangnam Style,” which was everywhere and yet completely evanescent — but in these arena shows, which were full of thousands of young, paying fans eager to see the girls of 2NE1 and the boys of BigBang, groups with zero American hits between them, but rabid American followings all the same.

Congratulations to both groups!

[TUTORIAL] How to register your YG family card!

Hi people! Nova here.

BIGBANG has a lot of international fans. But also a lot of them don't know what to do with the YG family card. That's why I made this easy tutorial, to help all the international fans out.

What can you do with the YG family card?

Good question. Well the card is mostly meant to be used by Korean citicens only. Those fans can joins events, give-aways and other cool events that only happen in South-Korea.

If you are a foreigner in korea.. I really don't know if you can join these events, but if you are one and if you know it's true. Please leave a comment!

Now what can WE do with it?

Well.. the only thing we can do with the card is download a "so-called" Thank You Box. That sounds lame, but it's really nice and sometimes fangirl-worthy. The main stuff that you get in this box is the cover of the CD (In all the versions available), the lyrics and some extra photo's. Sometimes it even holds a special thank you message from the artist itself!

How do I get the Thank You Box?

This is what I'm going to show you guys. Now if you have a ygeshop account, you can skip the first part. 

You need this account to actually confirm that a person is registering the card and to retrieve the box if the download pop-up doesn't work.

Part 1: Registering

STEP 1: Go to http://www.ygeshop.com

Step 4: Fill in

*

*

*

*

*

Step 5: Done!

*

*

*

*

*

Part 2: Registering your card

Now get your YG Family card and go to the URL it says in the instructions in the CD (Booklet) or on the back of the card (If you have it, skip to step 3). If you can't find it you can start with step 1.

Step 1: go to YG family

 *
*
*
*
*
Step 2: Choose artist

*

*

*

Step 3: Choose Album

Step 4: Find the button

*

*

*

*

Step 5: Log in and register number.

Sorry guys.. i already registered my card. But what will happen is the followin

If you log in, you get to fill in the card number. It has 4 boxes and the code is based on 4 part (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX). Fill those 4 parts seperatly in the 4 boxes and continue by clicking on the colored button

Now the pop-up will show a big button with Thank you box in it. If you click it, it should download the .zip file with the thank you box in it. IF THE BUTTON DOESN'T WORK, you can click the pop up away (Don't worry, you will get it in a few seconds by following these steps)

Extra step 1:

Go to http://www.ygeshop.com/ again and log in. Then click on the button "My Page" in the header.

Now scroll downwards.

I hope this tutorial helped a lot of international fans out there! 

Good luck registering them! ;)

Big Bang’s T.O.P given a bra at ‘Alive GALAXY Tour 2012' concert?

Footage of Big Bang‘s T.O.P getting caught off-guard by a fan’s special gift at a ‘Alive GALAXY Tour 2012‘ concert has been causing talk online.

The video, which was shot on the 24th in the Philippines, shows T.O.P dancing to the beat on stage and getting close to the crowd to greet his fans. One fan threw out what T.O.P seemed to have assumed was a normal gift of the non-underwear variety.

T.O.P seemed taken aback by the situation, but immediately turned around as if nothing had happened. Big Bang’s backdancers who saw the fan’s “gift” on the floor began to laugh.

Netizens commented, “I’m not sure why you would throw undergarments”, “It’s a good thing he didn’t catch it”, “It looks like the backdancers were more shocked than he was”, and “Did the fan have nothing else to give?”.

Check out video of the moment (~1:25) below!

"Gangnam Style" MV child actor Hwang Min Woo confesses he previously liked Bigbang more than Psy

The dancing child prodigy, Hwang Min Woo, from Psy‘s “Gangnam Style” MV revealed that he previously liked Big Bang more than he liked Psy, but that it all changed after the filming of the music video.

On the October 24th broadcast of MBC‘s ‘Good Day‘, Hwang Min Woo featured as a guest alongside his parents. Hwang Min Woo revealed, “I knew about Psy since I was five years old.” When asked if he liked Psy back then, he replied, “Not so much… I originally liked Big Bang better. But after I got the call to appear on his MV, I started to like Psy ahjusshi. Right now, I like ‘Gangnam Style’ Psy ahjusshi more.”

The child’s father, Hwang Eui Chang also shared, “A representative from Psy’s agency saw Min Woo’s appearance on ‘Star King‘ and introduced the clip to Psy. Psy laughed when he saw it and asked to film a MV together. Min Woo’s appearance was confirmed two days before the MV filming.”

Hwang Min Woo previously showed his amazing talent as a performer on SBS ‘Star King‘ and tvN‘s ‘Korea’s Got Talent 2‘.

Why did T.O.P. whisper in actress Kim So Yeon's ear?

Actress Kim So Yeon revealed her crush for Big Bang‘s T.O.P on the October 23rd episode of ‘Strong Heart‘.

The actress had been on the blockbuster drama ‘IRIS‘ with T.O.P, and when the ‘Strong Heart‘ MCs asked who she wanted to have as her husband on ‘We Got Married‘, she answered she wanted to be with T.O.P.

She also confessed, “I saw T.O.P at the Busan International Film Festival, but I didn’t get to greet him. But after the festival, I met T.O.P at a party. I walked to him like a robot and said, ‘Hi?’. But T.O.P was nice to me. It was loud because of the music, but he whispered, ‘Noona, you’re here’ in my ear. He made me feel more confident after that because all the female actresses got jealous.”

One stage he showcased was a collaboration between himself and 2NE1‘s Minzy. The two put on “Missing You“, a song originally featuring Jaurim‘s Kim Yoona as the vocalist, but Minzy put her own fresh spin on the track with her vocals.

Seungri also says "Don't Hate Me"?

After Psy’s mysterious photo, YG-Life has shared a photo of Big Bang‘s Seungri holding up the same “Don’t Hate Me” sign.

Psy had previously posted an image of himself holding up the sign through his twitter on the 14th, sparking the curiosity of many. With Seungri being the second person to bare the sign, it seems that this may not be a teaser for Psy’s individual release, but perhaps one that involves other artists of YG Entertainment.

The agency commented, “Although we can’t reveal who the third person to carry the sign will be nor what ‘Don’t Hate Me’ is referring to at the moment, we will soon be resolving the curiosity of fans.”

So for now, it seems we must wait patiently to see what meaning the sign holds.

What do you think the sign is referring to?

G-Dragon's hair looks like a duster?

G-Dragon‘s hairstyle has been attracting the attention of fans and netizens as an online community board recently posted a picture comparing his hair to that of a pink and blue duster.

The picture is said to have been created by an elementary school student and is taken from G-Dragon’s hairstyle during his promotions for “Crayon“, when his hair was pink and blue similar to the pictured duster.

The unusually matching colors of the duster and G-Dragon’s hair made fans and netizens laugh, as well as commend Big Bang‘s ability to digest such a wide variety of unique hairstyles.

Upon seeing the picture, netizens commented, “Whoever posted this has great eyes“, “The synchronization of his hairstyle and the duster is 120%“, “I applaud G-Dragon’s attempts at changing his style.”

G-Dragon recently returned as a solo act after 3 years with his album One Of a Kind and title song “Crayon.”
