BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and Taeyang Joke About Their Concerns About Kwanghee on “Infinity Challenge”

BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and Taeyang Joke About Their Concerns About Kwanghee on “Infinity Challenge”

On the August 1 episode of “Infinity Challenge,” the music festival teams continue their “emergency conference” to talk about their issues so far and try to settle any disputes.

Each of the members of the “Infinity Challenge” cast has been matched up with a group or solo artist to produce a song for their annual music festival. In this episode, Yoo Jae Suk has sent each of the musicians to a private room to write down their concerns about their partner. But when he reads their notes out loud to the whole group, BIGBANG‘s G-Dragon and Taeyang‘s note about their partner Kwanghee is easily the harshest!

They write, “Kwanghee… is really great. But the day after we meet, our whole bodies ache. It’s good to have a lot of energy, but it’s exhausting for other people.”

They continue, “It’s okay that you can’t sing or dance. We didn’t expect that you could. But it’s not even funny.” Even Kwanghee can’t help but burst out laughing at this! One of them (most likely G-Dragon) then writes, “This is the first time that I’ve done a music festival where I’ve worried about how much I’ll actually appear on television later.”

“We want to turn back time,” they continue, as everyone keeps laughing. “We were too hasty. We didn’t think it through. Taeyang is thinking about resigning. But still, what can you do? It’s not Kwanghee’s fault. It’s been our fault since the beginning.”

Yoo Jae Suk then reads their final line. “This is going to help us mature as people,” they write.

While everyone is still recovering from laughing so much, Yoo Jae Suk is so impressed by how entertaining their letter was that he goes over to shake their hands.

Kwanghee gets a hold of the letter and looks at it in total shock, and the others laugh and say it’s basically a break-up letter. “I feel like I’m being kicked out of the entertainment world!” says Kwanghee.

It’s all in good fun though, and the three explain that there are really no big issues between them in a private interview.

Are you looking forward to seeing what this trio comes up with for the “Infinity Challenge” music festival?

[Music Talk Talk] BIGBANG’s MAD “E” Series Returns

??

[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.
