04/09/2012: Seungri with his zebra @ Hansa Toy

04/09/2012: Seung-chan Diary

Today is a bad day..
Today, I had a recording for Cream Stew’s special program.. Today was the worst.
My Japanese and my talk as well as my reaction...
Today, I had 5 chances to join the conversation but I missed them..
Today, I have to reflect on myself..
Today is really bad.
Why?
It was an important program but why couldn't I do well..
Long time ago, there was this time when I was trying hard in a Korean talk show and it didn't go well. At that time, our nation's MC Kang Hodong-san told me a story..
Even a skillful home run hitter doesn't always hit a home run. A good player is when you hit a home run and help the team when they're in a really bad condition..
Well..
Yeah I can’t always only show my good side.. But today, I had to reflect upon myself.. You guys can get angry to me for today..
I envy Rola-chan... She didn't do anything that worries her and she just enjoyed the show. I’ve become someone who calculates when appearing on TV shows...

I don’t like it somehow.. Because this is not the real me... I have to reflect.. Wondering if I can sleep properly or not today..
Otsukare.. (Nice work for today...)
Note: Cream Stew is a Japanese comedy duo

03-09-2012 G-Dragon's One of a Kind MV reaches over 10 million views

G-Dragon's music video of "One of a Kind" has been released on September 24 and has received over 10 million views already on YouTube.

Also, G-Dragon's music video for "That XX", which was released September 1, received over 3.3 million views only 2 days after the date of its release. G-Dragon's power in the music industry is clearly exemplified by the number of views his music videos received from people located all over the globe.

G-Dragon is following the footsteps of Psy, who all-killed almost every single music chart in Korea. G-Dragon's "That XX" all-killed various music charts, including music sites like Melon and Mnet, as soon as it was released. G-Dragon's "That XX" is maintaining its place in the number 1 spot and continues to gain popularity.

The fact that G-Dragon is maintaining his number 1 spot in the music charts is even more meaningful and special because it is very unusual for a song that has adult content to even rise to the number 1 spot to begin with. However, regardless of the adult content in G-Dragon's new song "That XX", he is maintaining his place at the top.

One of the reasons why G-Dragon is expected to remain in the top is because of the fact that neither "One of a Kind" nor "That XX" is the title song for his solo album. G-Dragon's title song is expected to be a bigger hit and the anticipation for the rest of his album has reached a whole new level after he released the two songs.

But everyone, please don’t write this story on Twitter! Please don’t! On the internet also, don’t! If this is posted on the internet, the info will spread so fast! Don’t do it!!

"Today, I am a hot* food fighter!!!!"

*Note: By "hot" I think he means spicy food, but the way it's written it seems to have multiple meanings since it reads literally "Today I am food fighter hot!!!!" when translated.

02-09-2012 Seung-chan's Diary (120901): I'm not the only one in this world


Today, I planned to stop everything and it’s my holiday. But this is not for me. There are so many people who work hard for me now. I’m entering my 7thyear living in entertainment world and I’m receiving support from all of the staffs.

The ‘me’ now, can’t be here with my strength only. If it were not because of everyone’s strength, I don’t think I’ll be here now. All of them know that I like to do my works, that I like to be busy but for the last 2 months, they keep running here and there, and I think they need to rest so, today is holiday..


There are so many things to think of in the showbiz world. For my sake, my staffs had been thinking which shows that good, is there any schedule overlaps, is the shows suit my image, they’ve been worrying and keep worrying for me.Until now, I think I’ve appear on about 60% of Japanese shows. And certainly they’ve been tired but no one came to me complaining they’re tired and can’t go on…


I have to feel that.. I cherish all my staffs around me and I’m thankful to them..We can’t forget about all friends who have been working together with us. When Big Bang started our activity this year, I took a look inside of my wallet. In it, there’s a photo with faces of all 5 Big Bang members and the names written underneath. I have to cherish all friends who have been working hard together. I think that is what absolutely necessary to us^^ Everyone, how was your Saturday?


Good night (^ - ^) /
