T.O.P says he doesn’t stay in touch with Seungri



On the January 4 airing of ‘Weekly Idol,’ two BIGBANG members tried to play the intimate ‘apple game,’ which involves physical contact.
Jung Hyung Don first said, “I hear that there are two people who are awkward with each other,” revealing them to be T.O.P and Seungri. The two decided to try their hand at the apple game that G-Dragon and Jung Hyung Don had done four years ago.

Before the game, T.O.P said, “Seungri and I aren’t awkward [around each other]. The members just say that.” But then, when asked, “Do you keep in touch with Seungri often?” he replied, “I don’t contact him at all,” causing laughter.
However, they worked better than expected together for the apple game!

Watch: BIGBANG Cracks Each Other Up With Introductions And Entrances On Toy Cars On “Weekly Idol”

bigbang

On the recent episode of “Weekly Idol” on January 4, BIGBANG appeared as guests and had a chance to introduce each other to the audience in their own special ways.

At the start of the show, BIGBANG made their entrance by riding toy cars. Watching G-Dragon come forth, Jung Hyung Don introduced him saying, “He is the number one successful K-pop star, acknowledged by Time Magazine.”

When the MCs told G-Dragon they’d be putting the cars away themselves, G-Dragon commented, “Nothing has changed in the past few years.”

Jung Hyung Don then asked G-Dragon, “Is there a member who isn’t necessary in BIGBANG?” and G-Dragon cracked up his fellow members by answering, “Maybe one?”.

Jung Hyung Don then introduced T.O.P as, “An eccentric artist who is crucial in BIGBANG!”

After T.O.P crashed his car into the wall with his toy car, Taeyang was introduced as having “a voice that melts souls.” Taeyang seemed to enjoy riding his car around the set as he circled it around to park it back at the beginning of the red carpet again.

Then Taeyang introduced Daesung saying, “He’s Korea’s soybean paste, Japan’s natto, and China’s stinky tofu. In other words, he’s someone so charismatic that you can never get over him if you fall for him.”

Finally, Daesung kept everyone laughing by introducing Seungri as “BIGBANG’s ‘episode’ machine. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t be able to be on television shows.” Seungri then tried to prove his variety skills by driving into the set while lying down on his toy car, but G-Dragon commented, “It’s not funny.”

Jung Hyung Don commented, “Seungri charges so much for his business,” and Seungri responded, “I didn’t personally run it. However, I heard that my employees worked really hard. I ran a vocal and dance academy. A lot of idols have come from there,” naming WINNER‘s Kim Jin Woo and BTSj-hope.

He explained why he had to stop the venture, however, saying, “The teachers and students would end up liking each other, and I got calls from parents. That’s why I shut it down.”

TopSecret Chooses BIGBANG And SEVENTEEN As Their Role Models

TopSecret

Rookie boy band TopSecret chose BIGBANG and SEVENTEEN as their role models.

Top Secret held a showcase for their debut album “Time’s Up” on January 3. The members revealed, “We really like BIGBANG. And we want to emulate SEVENTEEN’s stage work.”

The new boy band said, “It’s been around three years since the seven of us started rehearsing together. Our company held a survival competition, and we were the last ones standing. We had our debut stage at ‘Inkigayo’ on January 1. It’s amazing to see that when we search our name, something actually shows up. We’ll continue to do our best.”

“Time’s Up” is the first album of the group’s three part school series. The title track “She” is a song that reflects the love of a male student as he is drawn more towards the beauty within a person than their outwards appearance.

TopSecret said, “We filmed our music videos at a school to create a three part series. The title track ‘She’ is a love song, and the album is full of songs that people who are currently in love or who have broken off a relationship can listen to.”

The group has already amassed an overseas fanbase, having been active in Japan and Taiwan before their Korean debut. They will be making their official debut in Korea with the release of their album on January 4.

The Best Moments Of G-Dragon & T.O.P Ever That Proved Their Friendship


 

G-Dragon and T.O.P go way, way back. In fact, they were childhood friends. They were neighbourhood friends that used to dance and rap together. Then, YG Entertainment were scouting members for a boy band. G-Dragon contacted T.O.P and the rest, you can say, is history.

Their bond and friendship is what many strive for. They have been through many ups and downs together. That right there is the definition of friendship. Better yet, brotherhood. In this long friendship of theirs, there were many moments that truly prove the two are brothers at heart. There are too many moments that not all could be listed.

From their debut to where they are now, they were together.

Here are some of G-Dragon and T.O.P’s best moments:

Live performances

The two have performed together countless times. Every performance proves that the two are meant to perform together. They truly look like brothers complimenting each other on stage.

GD & T.O.P perform ‘Don’t Leave’ on SBS Inkigayo

GD & T.O.P perform ‘Knock Out’ in YGFamily Concert

GD & T.O.P performing ‘High High’

GD & T.O.P perform ‘Zutter’ on SBS Inkigayo

 

Kiss Scenes

In the past, BIGBANG made parodies of dramas. In the parodies Secret Garden and Coffee Prince, T.O.P professes his love for G-Dragon with a kiss!

 

Here’s GD & T.O.P’s kissing scene in the Secret Garden Parody:

 

Here’s GD & T.O.P’s kissing scene in the Coffee Prince Parody:

 

Those weren’t the only times that he kissed G-Dragon.

T.O.P seems very fond of G-Dragon.

 

 

G-Dragon and T.O.P looking out for each other

On the show, Happy Together, G-Dragon and T.O.P showed chemistry by helping each other out with answering the questions. There was a moment when T.O.P was nearly exposed when he was asked why he did not go to the show that he was invited to. G-Dragon saves him by saying that he was shooting a film on that day.

Here’s a compilation of the best GD and T.O.P moments:

 

Unfortunately, T.O.P will be enlisting in the army very soon. And because of this, there will rarely be any GD & T.O.P moments for a while.

GD & T.O.P are quite synchronised with their moves.

A perfect duo.

Freely enjoying life and partying hard together.

The two can make mistakes and still look adorable.

They are also very playful with each other.

But, it’s time to say farewell to them for a while…
