BIGBANG’s T.O.P Appears On CNN To Talk About Art

BIGBANG’s T.O.P recently made an appearance on a CNN show to talk about art and what it means to him.

On October 3, T.O.P will be acting as a curator of an auction at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong. For this event, he was interviewed by CNN style, a 30-minute program airing once a month that introduces its viewers to the world of art, design, fashion, cars, luxury products, and architecture.

T.O.P is a passionate art collector and has lent his name (#TTTOP) to the upcoming Sotheby’s auction. On CNN style, he showcased various works of art by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Lee Ufan.

“Through my work as a musician and actor, my life can sometimes be very extreme,” he said. “When it tires me out, I get comfort and inspiration from art and the sense of beauty art brings to me.”

He continued, “When I see a design I like, or a picture that satisfies me, or admire a beauty that I’d never imagined before, I get jealous. Art stimulates me in my own life.”

T.O.P also revealed that he had met up with Sotheby’s a year ago to start working on this project. “We wanted to support young artists and donate part of the auction proceeds to charity. Asian artists and Western artists are combined together. Of course there are masterpieces that everyone knows, but there are also young artists with youthful tastes.”

“I’m proud of seeing all the works that we spent a year curating,” he said. “But it’s also thrilling to think that people will soon be able to share the happy feelings and strong emotions that I felt while working on this project.”

T.O.P’s interview will be included in the segment “The Invitation” on “CNN style,” which is broadcast through “The World Right Now with Hala Gorani” on CNN.

[Music Talk Talk] BIGBANG is “coming back”… It will boast best-ever quality undoubtedly

BIGBANG 빅뱅 Articles

[OSEN=선미경 기자] BIGBANG is finally coming back. Saying that they will come back “soon”, BIGBANG has hinted on another unprecedentedly large-scale comeback. 

BIGBANG’s SEUNGRI drew keen attention by hinting on BIGBANG’s comeback in NAVER V-LIVE+ broadcasting “SEUNGRI ON-AIR 여보세요 승리세요” on September 28. In the broadcasting, SEUNGRI said, “You’ll be able to listen to BIGBANG’s new album soon”. BIGBANG released new songs every month last year, in “MADE” project that was carried out for four months. BIGBANG’s new album to be released this year is drawing all the more attention, as it is the one to culminate the 10th anniversary of BIGBANG’s debut and to complete “MADE” project. 

On September 29, YG Entertainment announced, “BIGBANG members have been working on the album despite their busy overseas schedules, to release it within this year. Recently, they are fully concentrating on the preparation for the album, working together at the YG office every day”. 

BIGBANG is musician who enjoys great popularity both from its fandom and the general public. BIGBANG is called the star of the stars, which indicates that so many people like BIGBANG’s music. As such, BIGBANG members and their music appeal to a wide pool of people. The members take part in almost all the work on BIGBANG’s music and their contents are unveiled only after passing strict screening from YG’s CEO YANG HYUN SUK about the perfectness of the quality. That is the reason why all music fans have big anticipation about BIGBANG’s new songs. 

Before SEUNGRI’s broadcasting, TAEYANG once said, “We’re trying to make really good songs comparable to every single of ‘MADE’ and that is why the release of the new album has been postponed little by little so far”. To live up to many people’s big expectations, BIGBANG members have to take extra care about the quality of their new album. That was the reason why the release of the full album of “MADE” project which had originally been supposed to be released last year was delayed. Such decision was made for a perfect album with quality contents, and better music. The album polished for whole one year is to be finally released soon.  

Carrying out “MADE” project last year, BIGBANG made many hits including “LOSER”, “BAE BAE”, “BANG BANG BANG”, and “IF YOU”. With those songs, BIGBANG stayed in No.1 on charts for the entire four months. The music was so special enough to be loved by both BIGBANG’s fandom and the public. That is the reason why people are paying even bigger attention to BIGBANG’s full album. 

It will be worthwhile to look forward to the contents of BIGBANG’s “MADE” project that is to be finally completed soon.
