Dong Hyun Bae Opens Up About The Pressure Of Being Taeyang’s Brother
Actor Dong Hyun Bae, Taeyang’s older brother, recently did an interview in which he shared about his famous brother and his role in the recent drama “Greatest One-Shot.”
In the interview, he said that he tries to be natural wherever he goes, but because Taeyang is his younger brother, he can’t cause trouble and so he becomes cautious about his attitude. He laughed and said, “When people ask if I’m Taeyang’s older brother, I end up unconsciously fixing my posture.” He then explained, “My younger brother has already succeeded but I’m still struggling. As the eldest son, I am sorry that my younger brother is doing things that I’m supposed to be doing.”
Dong Hyun Bae then spoke about his role in the KBS variety-drama “Greatest One-Shot,” in which he played the part of MC Drill, a trainee with stage fright. He revealed that he received the script at the audition, and that when he first heard the name MC Drill, he thought the character had hip-hop mania. He said, “I thought he was a character that you shouldn’t mess with and that he was unique with his own swag.”
Dong Hyun Bae concluded the interview by stating that his goals for next year are to grow a little more as well as gain more interest as an actor.

K-pop idol Taeyang celebrates Fendi’s store opening and party
EVENT: Fendi store opening and F is For Party

The star was not only a special guest at the event but he was there to celebrate the launch of a capsule collection he has worked on in collaboration with Fendi designer Silvia Venturini Fendi. The collection boasts sweatshirts, wallets, sneakers and backpacks, many of which are embroidered with slogans such as “Passion” and “Faith”.
Taeyang showed up in the HK$75,000 shearling jacket he co-designed for the store opening, naming it one of his favourites from the collection.
Following his brief stay in the store, Taeyang changed into a dapper white suit to join the “F is For” after party in Sheung Wan. He took to the DJ booth to greet fans at the exclusive party.
The party, as much of a music event as it is a fashion event, features Asian hip-hop heavyweights the likes of Choice 37 and rapper Okasian as well as DJ Victor Aime from China.

Vodka cocktails and canapes all had Fendi logos, while a special cocktail was inspired by Taeyang.
The “F is For” party is Fendi’s initiative to tap the millennial generation customers. The initiative includes a digital platform on Fendi’s official website and a series of off-line events such as the “F is For Party”. Before its Hong Kong leg, the party debuted in New York earlier this year.
