BIGBANG’s Taeyang Explains Why He Can Relate To “MIXNINE” Participants In New Teaser

On October 20, YG’s upcoming survival show “MIXNINE” released a new teaser video featuring BIGBANG’s Taeyang!

The clip introduces Taeyang as the third judge, following Zion.T, who had appeared in the first teaser, and JYP Entertainment producer Park Jin Young, who will be appearing as a special judge.

In the teaser, Taeyang emphasizes that this is the first time an audition program will be having a group of nine males competing against a group of nine females, with one group surviving in the end. He comments, “I think girl groups appeal to the public more, but boy groups can attract a fandom quickly. So I have no idea which group will be winning in the end.”

He then brings up the fact that BIGBANG had started out in an audition program. “I could see in these [‘MIXNINE’] contestants the earnest desire that we had felt back in those days. I was really reminded of our past, and they pulled on my heartstrings,” he shares.

You can watch the full teaser here.

Meanwhile, “MIXNINE” will be airing its first episode on October 29 at 4:50 p.m. KST.

At the concert, DAESUNG sang “AH?JE?CHO!” and “NO. THAT’S NOT IT” for the first time. Although the album was released just a day before, the audience showed a fervent response and sang along with him.

DAESUNG’s “D NA SHOW Vol.1” will go on until October 31 in Kobe. The finale concert of the tour will take place in Hawaii on January 6-7, 2018 at the Hawaii Theater.

Zion.T To Join CL And Taeyang As Judge On YG Survival Show “MIXNINE”

Zion.T is joining CL and BIGBANG’s Taeyang as a judge on YG’s upcoming survival show “MIXNINE”!

On October 11, “MIXNINE” released a teaser video with Zion.T talking about his decision to help out on the show.

Zion.T commented, “To be honest, I never went through a painful training period before becoming a singer. Because I can’t relate to these trainees, I wondered if I even had a right to judge them.”

He continued, “While visiting the different agencies, I noticed some moments where [the trainees] weren’t synchronized with their choreography, and I felt bad because this was reality. What if they don’t meet my expectations? What if I have to eliminate them? I think I would feel really sorry if I have to. I just want them to do well.”

“I don’t think I have a right to judge these idol trainees. I just want to help them find a direction in life,” he added.

You can watch the full teaser here.

Meanwhile, “MIXNINE” will be airing its first episode on October 29 at 4:50 p.m. KST.
