According to a broadcasting representative on March 22, BIGBANG’s Taeyang has confirmed to appear on the new SBS show “Fantastic Duo” which is scheduled to air in April.

On March 21, Taeyang recorded a duet version of his own hit song and wrapped up a short recording of the show. The duet version of his song that he recorded will be released via “Everything,” an official app for the show “Fantastic Duo.” The participants will be able to apply for the show using the app and can sing a duet with Taeyang.

Taeyang has never made any appearances in music related variety shows. Therefore, this confirmation of his appearance on “Fantastic Duo” is gaining lots of interest from the fans. The fans are anticipating what kind of duet performance stage Taeyang will be showing.

“Fantastic Duo” is a show where anyone can sing a duet with a top singer using a cell phone. It’s a music variety show that promotes connection between a singer and a fan. It follows the process of creating a great duet team. “Fantastic Duo” had gained popularity when the pilot episode had aired during the Lunar holiday weekend.

As the follow-up show to the “K-Pop Star 5,” the first episode of “Fantastic Duo” will air on April 17 at 6:10 p.m. KST.

BIGBANG’s charismatic leader G-Dragon and up-and-coming Japanese actress Komatsu Nana are set to grace the cover of NYLON JAPAN’s May edition.

This is G-Dragon’s first time modeling for the Japanese edition of the magazine, teaming up with Komatsu Nana for a special 16-page pictorial called “Nearly Equal,” which aims to eliminate the boundaries between men and women’s fashion.

In the interview portion of the pictorial, G-Dragon praises his modeling partner. He says, “I think that Komatsu Nana is someone who has many different charms. I had thought that the filming would be physically difficult because it happened right after our concert, but thanks to her I was able to enjoy the filming.”

Komatsu Nana also admits that G-Dragon was very kind to her while they worked together, saying, “It felt so much like a dream that I was standing beside G-Dragon, so I said as much to him. He replied, ‘Yeah, this is a dream,’ making me laugh despite how nervous I was.”

Meanwhile, G-Dragon will be meeting his fans in Korea and Japan this summer through special 10^th anniversary concerts, alongside the rest of the members of BIGBANG.
