[OSEN=??? ??] BIGBANG’s GD and T.O.P and YANG HYUN SUK paid a visit to Lee Yun Bok’s restaurant.

On September 10, Lee Yun Bok posted a picture on his Instagram page commenting, “Today’s my lucky day. GD and T.O.P came to the restaurant and brought Mr. Yang with them. So, the four of us took a picture together.”

In the picture, GD, T.O.P and YANG HYUN SUK are in casual wear. They all seem to be close with their arms on each other’s shoulders. All of them look cheerful, and it is a photo that makes you smile.

GD and Lee Yun Bok became friends when GD appeared in JTBC’s “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator.” GD appeared in the show along with TAEYANG and chose Lee Yun Bok’s dish over another chef’s dish, making Lee Yun Bok win a star.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG has been releasing singles every month since May and amassing huge popularity.

BIGBANG took No.1 on August’s Gaon chart again… Setting an unprecedented record of sweeping the chart for 4 months in a row

BIGBANG 빅뱅 Articles

[OSEN=??? ??] BIGBANG has proven their formidable power once again. The team is sweeping the No.1 on charts for four months in a row.

Idol group BIGBANG is showing their enormous power, sweeping the monthly Gaon chart for four consecutive months. All the singles of “MADE” project that began in May have dominated monthly charts. That is a very exceptional case in the music scene, which has proven the “BIGBANG power” once again. BIGBANG’s new release for every month and enthusiastic responses from music fans for such a plan also proved BIGBANG’s enormous influence.

According to Gaon chart on the 10, “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE”, a song included in BIGBANG’s single “E” released last month, took the No.1 place on Gaon’s monthly chart. While competition on music charts is getting fiercer with the release of songs performed at the music festival of a TV show, BIGBANG is showing the best performance on charts, as they have always done.

Such a record is all the more meaningful, as it is an unprecedented record of all the singles of “MADE” project taking the No.1 on charts. Beginning from “LOSER”, “BANG BANG BANG”, “IF YOU”, and “LET’ NOT FALL IN LOVE” all contributed to setting such an important record. Notably, BIGBANG is showing good performances evenly on digital chart, download chart, as well as streaming chart.

The biggest reason for such big success of “MADE” project is the quality of music. As BIGBANG created their own songs, they can well-express the team’s color and try different variations in their music. They sometimes put some sweetness and humor in their song as in “BAE BAE”, and then create sentimental songs such as “IF YOU” and “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE”.

While BIGBANG will soon release a full-length album that binds all the “MADE” projects together, fans are paying keen attention to how BIGBANG will mark the grand finale of “MADE” project after the time for rest.

TAEYANG expressed taste in YANG HYUN SUK’s voice… Exclaiming in admiration for the foods

BIGBANG 빅뱅 Articles

[TV???=??? ??] BIGBANG’s member TAEYANG expressed the taste of foods he ate with a fan, in YANG HYUN SUK’s voice.

TAEYANG hosted his private broadcasting “I’m going now, to eat” on NAVER V-APP on the 9 in the evening, for the second time among BIGBANG members.

The format of the broadcasting was to have a fan to invite TAEYANG to his/her home to have dinner together. The fan to invite TAEYANG had been selected in advance among applicants.

TAEYANG visited the house of a 20-year-old fan, to be welcomed by her family enthusiastically. Having dinner prepared by the fan’s mother, TAEYANG disclosed his greed for food, saying, “I’ll eat all the foods you’ve prepared”.

Viewers requested that TAEYANG “evaluate the foods in YANG HYUN SUK’s voice”. TAEYANG was dumbfounded at such a request, but soon mimicked YANG HYUN SUK to express the taste of the foods.

[People IS] BIGBANG ate up No.1 on chart from May to August… Setting unprecedented record

BIGBANG 빅뱅 Articles


[?????=??? ??] BIGBANG has set an unprecedented record again.

BIGBANG topped the chart of August this year. According to Gaon chart, BIGBANG topped August’s monthly digital chart, with “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” released in album “D” on the 5 last month. The song won a triple crown, by taking the No.1 on not only digital chart but also on streaming chart and BGM chart.

That made BIGBANG take the No.1 on Gaon digital chart for four months in a row finally with “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” in August, following “LOSER” in “MADE” project’s first single “D” in May, “BANG BANG BANG” of second single “A” in June, and then “IF YOU” of third single “D” in July.

It is a first-ever case of an idol group taking the No.1 on monthly chart for four months in a row. Such an unprecedented record shows how big power BIGBANG has.

BIGBANG has performed in Korea for a long period of time this year, releasing a single with two songs every month from May. Even while carrying out their world tour, they did not get negligent of performances in Korea, and such special service for fans satisfied the hearts of fans.

Every time a new album was released for a month, the album swept top places on music charts and No.1 trophies of music shows. Notably, when “BANG BANG BANG” was released but BIGBANG could not perform in Korea because of busy world tour schedules, the team took the No.1 in music shows even without any TV performance for the song.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG has been doing private broadcasting on NAVER V-APP recently, and every episode of the broadcasting showed off each member’s special appeals, creating a big sensation.

BIGBANG has swept the Gaon charts for over four months now with their “MADE” series. Starting from May, each of the singles from the “MADE” series released every month has topped music charts.

The previous singles in the “MADE” album also rose in the monthly charts. “LOSER,” “BANG BANG BANG,” “If You,” “Let’s Not Fall In Love,” and more are all doing exceptionally well in digital, download, and streaming charts.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG is preparing to release the “MADE” series as one whole album soon.

ZANOTTI GOES K-POP

BIGBANG 빅뱅 Articles

 




 


FAMED FOOTWEAR DESIGNER GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI IS A MASTER OF COLLABORATIONS. HERE, HE REFLECTS ON HIS LATEST WITH G-DRAGON 

As far as collaborations between designers and celebrities go, Giuseppe Zanotti knows how to pick ’em—past high-profile partners have included Kanye West and Beyoncé. For his latest capsule collection, exclusive images of which appear above, Zanotti stuck with a musician, but chose someone outside of the United States— Korean star G-Dragon. “When we first met, I immediately thought he was a very stylish and cool guy” Zanotti said of the singer, who has been dubbed the “King of K-pop” as both a solo artist and as a member of the popular group BIGBANG. Internationally he has been garnering attention as a fashion It Boy, even appearing at Chanel shows, so naturally he is a great choice for Zanotti. “[His] personal style and music, along with my shoe expertise were the perfect elements to create a star product,” Zanotti explained, reflecting on their first meeting in Paris.

The capsule collection (which will be available in stores and online in October) features loafers and lace-ups for both men and women. What’s more is that the collection is unisex (though U.S. stores will sell men’s sizes only), a forward-thinking choice considering fashion’s increasingly blurred gender lines. “I love when women wear masculine shoes,” said Zanotti. “They make them cool and very sexy.” The designer also noted the lasting endurance of these particular shoe styles, and their versatility. Having a chic pair of flat shoes is as essential to one’s wardrobe as having a good pair of heels. Think of it as the perfect pair of jeans to counter the perfect little black dress. And as much as denim has risen in event-appropriateness, so too have flat shoes. Of course, when they are covered in hand-applied glitter, nearly any shoe could be considered a statement piece.

Although he didn’t give any hints about future collaborators, or if any new collaborations were in the works, Zanotti hasn’t ruled out working with G-Dragon again. “We haven’t scheduled the next steps yet, but why not? It is so interesting to work with artists from different industries and to get to know their own creative processes and thoughts. I am a firm believer that you can create something magical when you meet great talents.”

BIGBANG’s Taeyang Makes First Ever Visit to a Fan’s Home During Live Broadcast

BIGBANG’s Taeyang Makes First Ever Visit to a Fan’s Home During Live Broadcast

Taeyang is the latest member of BIGBANG to star in his own personal live broadcast on Naver’s V app! He made a fan’s dream come true on the evening of September 9 when he visited her home as part of his live show “I’m Going to Eat Now.”

Out of all the applications from fans that he received, Taeyang chose to visit a first year university student who wrote in her submission that her mother is a big fan of BIGBANG as well and has earned diplomas in preparing Korean, Chinese, and Western food.

Taeyang keeps saying he’s really nervous as he arrives at their home with a bag of gifts and a bouquet of flowers. “I’m not even this nervous when I go on stage!” he says.

When he arrives at their door, his fan is understandably thrilled to see him. He gets hugs from her family, and her dad asks him to sign their wall for him “in the best spot in the house.”

Taeyang then checks out his fan’s bedroom and admires her collection of BIGBANG CDs, DVDs, and books. “Wow, even I haven’t seen this one!” he says as he examines one of the items.

After Taeyang eats dinner with his fan and her family, he offers to do the dishes. “Are you really doing it?” she asks in amazement when he’s getting ready to scrub the dishes. “Of course, I have to!” he answers.

As he’s standing at the sink, he turns to the camera and boasts about how great he is at doing dishes. He then says he’ll answer some fan questions as he’s cleaning up, and the first one he reads is “How about singing a song while you do the dishes?” So he asks his host what she’d like to hear, and she requests “Eyes, Nose, Lips.”

“Ah, such a sad song for washing dishes to,” he says. “I’ll give it a try!”

He laughs before starting to sing as he wipes down the dishes, and then really seems to get into it!
