[?????=??? ??] Naver V App will become the barometer to popularity level of different artists. V App is a Naver service that allows people to peek into the daily lives of artists.

Internet portal Naver launched its V App on July 31 and kick started its service. People can now take a peek into the daily lives of stars. Naver is targeting smart fans. Each member will have their own broadcast, so fans can pick their favorite stars and view their daily life.

Stars create the contents themselves, which sets this apart from other reality programs. This can be the barometer to popularity level of an artist as well.

Now iKON is the first in the line, and is hugely popular. iKON already has 32,200 fans and is on #1 very closely running against BIGBANG. Following BIGBANG is WINNER, who is the official first in line of V App. So it seems like YG is dominating the top range.

The Bangtan Boys follows the YG artists with 28,000 fans, YG Family with 25,000 fans, and SM Town with 17,000 fans.

The biggest charm of V App is that an artist can appear on it unannounced and communicate with the fans. Stars can use their break time to appear on V App to communicate with the fans and share their daily lives. There are different sections like “Special Live” that revolves around big events, cooking, beauty, education and counseling. Stars create their own contents in these fields.

With a smart phone, users can take a peek into the daily lives of stars through V App any time anywhere. The test service began on July 31 on Android phones, and there are already 25 accounts by artists like BIGBANG, SM TOWN, Beast, the Bangtan Boys, Wonder Girls, Kara, AOA other K-Pop stars. These artists are gearing up to communicate with the fans.

[OSEN=??? ??] It is indeed “MAD.” BIGBANG is unveiling new songs every month through their project “MADE” and they are re-writing the history of the music world. And now the last of the MADE SERIES, album “E” will be unveiled on August 5. Rapper GD and T.O.P come together as a unit for the first time in 5 years, and another song to be unveiled is expected to be on the opposite end of the spectrum.

BIGBANG, for the first time in Korea, began a project where they unveil two new songs every month from May. So far they are more than successful. Many were concerned, but that turns out to be for nothing.

They are passing with flying colors. The first one from album “M” consisted of “LOSER,” and “BAE BAE,” sweeping cross all charts and music programs. In June album “A” included “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY,” again topping all charts and programs.

In July their third “D” included “IF YOU” and “SOBER,” which were perfect for summer. And with “E” they are expected to showcase something very special.

“FANTASTIC” is a perfect harmony of GD and T.O.P, to be unveiled in August. They are returning to their original passion for traditional hip-hop. YG Entertainment’s head YANG HYUN SUK, known for being extremely picky, immediately approved. The two attracted much attention in 2010 with their first full album “HIGH HIGH,” so it is only natural that expectations are building for the duo.

Just like they did until now, they are going to show new charms. YG revealed the second poster for album “E” on July 30, introducing “LET’S NOT LOVE.” In the poster BIGBANG members’ eyes are taken close-up. YG commented that the song will impress everyone with a very different charm from “FANTASTIC.”

Through this project, BIGBANG garnered popularity with their classy music that cut across all genres. Now all eyes are on the quintet to see if they will succeed once again with their last album of the series.
