USA Today Spotlights BIGBANG After TIME 100 Poll Results

USA Today Spotlights BIGBANG After TIME 100 Poll Results

U.S. news outlet USA Today recently published an article about BIGBANG, naming them ?the biggest boy band you probably haven?t heard of.?

The new publicity seems to have arisen as a result of the 2016 TIME 100 poll, where readers can cast their own votes to who should be on the TIME 100 Most Influential of 2016 list. (The actual list is compiled by the editors of TIME.)

BIGBANG took second place on the poll, behind Bernie Sanders, and beat out famous names such as Barack Obama, Taylor Swift, and Mark Zuckerberg.

In the article, USA Today notes that BIGBANG is ?the biggest K-pop boy band across the Pacific,? but rejects comparisons to One Direction, NSYNC, and the Backstreet Boys.

?For one, BIGBANG dabbles in everything from hip-hop, to R&B, electro pop and trap,? they write. ?And for another, they?re no longer boys.? They go on to mention that a few of the members are expected to enlist in the military in the next two years.

USA Today makes note of BIGBANG?s diverse musical style, the importance of each of the members, and their continued dominance of an ?increasingly youthful? industry. They mention each members? prolific solo careers (especially G-Dragon) and note that they ?cracked the Billboard 200? in 2012 and 2015 and held the largest K-pop arena tour in U.S. history.

?BIGBANG is a boy band worth your time and your devotion,? they write.

BIGBANG?s SEUNGRI starring in Japanese movie? ?Really happy to get such suggestion?

BIGBANG’s SEUNGRI starring in Japanese movie… “Really happy to get such suggestion”

 

2016-04-22 12:57 pm

tag. BIGBANG, SEUNGRI

[TV리포트=이지호 객원기자] BIGBANG’s member SEUNGRI (26) stars in Japanese movie “HIGH&LOW THE MOVIE” to be released in July.
“HIGH&LOW” is an action movie that depicts turf war between gang members. All the members of Japan’s most popular idol group EXILE and 三代目 J Soul Brothers (三代目) are starring in the movie. SEUGRI acts as son of gangster boss who leads gangs in Korea. The character acted by SEUNGRI is a cold-hearted and cruel man who tries to seize others’ turfs hand in hand with “Kohaku” acted by EXILE’s member Akira. It is a character completely different from SEUNGRI’s cheerful and bright personality.  
EXILE and 三代目 who pursue latest trend of music are known to have had long-standing connections with BIGBANG. Another reason for SEUNGRI’s casting is his fluency in Japanese. Insiders of the movie explained the reason why they cast SEUNGRI, saying, “He is good not only at the language but also as an actor and as a man. We thought that he would be able to further expand the movie’s view of the world”. 
SEUNGRI has once acted in a Japanese movie as a cameo, but “HIGH&LOW” is his first official Japanese movie to act an important character”.
SEUNGRI expressed his anticipation for the release of the movie, “I was really happy when I got the suggestion for casting in the movie. I really looked forward to working with EXILE. At the beginning of the shooting, I was a little bit worried, but I really enjoyed the shooting, suggesting my own ideas. I hope the breath-taking tension in the scene I shot with Akira could be well delivered to viewers”.
The movie will be released in July and SEUNGRI will also act in “HIGH&LOW Season 2” which is a drama series to be aired on Japanese Nippon TV.
