BIGBANG has revealed a hilarious story behind the subway trip taken by Seungri for the “We Like 2 Party” MV!

While guesting on Naver Starcast on Air Countdown Live for their latest releases, Seungri recalled the time when he took the subway and generated a lot of buzz after news spread on the internet.

Seungri revealed, “When we were filming the music video for ‘We Like 2 Party,’ I took the subway but nobody recognized me at all,” to which Taeyang added, “The Hapjeong station is right in front of our company, but Seungri insisted to go to Hongik University station where there were many people.”

Seungri then admitted, “I went to Hongik University station because I wanted to greet the public. But nobody recognized me.”

Finally, Taeyang delivered the final blow, saying, “There were times when BIGBANG members were not able to recognize Seungri. There was a time when we mistook him as an assistant director,” causing everyone to burst out laughing.

[OSEN=??? ??] BIGBANG’s record-breaking has no end to it. In the midst of sweeping across all music charts with album “D” of the MADE SERIES unveiled on July 1, all the songs from the previous “M” and “A” albums are still ranked within the top 10. They are showing a record-breaking journey of 62 days.

They are leading their project to success one at a time, and actually realizing their goal of making every track of their MADE album a title track. They are releasing new songs on the 1st of every month, which was a great challenge and a refreshing attempt. Each M, A, D, E project will be showcased until August, and in September the complete MADE will be unveiled. And they are going pretty smoothly with their plan.

“if you” and “SOBER” unveiled at 0 hour of July 1 have been sweeping across 8 music charts including Melon, Mnet, Olleh, Bugs, Soribada, Naver Music and Monkey 3 immediately after release. This is their 3rd “all-kill” following the tracks released in May and June.

Album “D” topped 16 iTunes around the world including Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Norway, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, and #4 in the U.S and #22 in England.

But what’s more, “LOSER,” “BAE BAE,” “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” unveiled in May and June are following the latest two. The previous songs are still loved by the general public and the new songs are ranked in the same range. This is a peculiar phenomenon. This is quite unprecedented in the music world that is so competitive. Their records are hardly likely to be broken. And this will last until September, until the project is complete.

The response to the music videos is also explosive. “SOBER” unveiled at 0 hour of July 1 attracted a whopping 1.14 million views in just 8 hours while “LOSER,” “BAE BAE,” “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” all together attracted a total of 100 million viewers. The record will be broken yet again with “SOBER.

“if you” that is sweeping across all charts is known to be the saddest song of BIGBANG, and it was spotlighted even before its release. The calm melody and detailed sound combined with the sorrowful lyrics are so unique to BIGBANG. T.O.P and GD provide something very refreshing with their singing voices. “SOBER” is suited for the season summer, completely different of “if you.” This is indeed entertaining for the fans.

Now they are in the middle of their World Tour, and will be in Thailand on July 11 and 12. They will then move on to the U.S., Canada and North America while performing 70 times across 15 cities joined by 1.4 million fans.

[OSEN=??? ??] It is just crazy. After big success of “M” and “A” of “MADE” series, two songs of “D” series BIGBANG has just unveiled are dominating all the top places on on-line music charts, upon their release. It is an unprecedented series of jackpots, from “M” and “A”, and now to “D”.

The project of BIGBANG to release new songs on the 1 of every month from May this year is a new trial and a fresh move. After releasing “E” album in August, complete full-length album “MADE” is completed in September. Fans welcomed it as they can listen to BIGBANG’s new songs every month, but it would be a burden for  the members to prepare for the performance for every song and to continue with performance for a long time. However, BIGBANG has led the project to a great success one by one, realizing their goal of making all songs in every album as title tracks.

“IF YOU” and “SOBER”, BIGBANG’s new songs for July which were unveiled on July 1 at 0 o’clock, dominated the No.1 and No.2 places on the chart of eight music-streaming websites: Melon, Mnet, Olleh, Genie, Bugs, Soribada, NAVER Music, and Monkey 3, upon their release. BIGBANG set such record for three consecutive months following May and June.

In addition, “D” took the No.1 on the iTunes single album chart of 16 countries including Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. It also took the fourth and 22nd place on the same chart of the United States and the U.K., the birthplace of pop. As such, BIGBANG is creating sensation globally.

New music videos are also creating sensation. The music video of “SOBER” released on July 1 at 0 o’clock together with the song is enjoying an explosive popularity, surpassing 1 million views on YouTube, recording 1,140,237 views. The videos of “LOSER”, “BAE BAE”, “BANG BANG BANG”, and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” have surpassed 100 million views on YouTube. The video of “SOBER” is now ready to set a new record.

“IF YOU” that is sweeping charts now is known as the saddest-ever song in BIGBANG’s history, and has drawn a big attention even before its release. The song catches the ears with its unique BIGBANG feel expressed in calm and sophisticated vocal and melody, as well as sad lyrics. Notably, it is all the more impressive in that rapper T.O.P and G-DRAGON show a new talent by singing the song tenderly. “SOBER” is an exciting summer song that perfectly fits the season, which is also entertaining fans with its cool and comfortable feel that contrasts to that of “IF YOU”.

BIGBANG’s “MADE” project is recording a great success as expected. “LOSER” released in May maintained its No. 1 on charts for a month and “BANG BANG BANG” released in June is following the footstep, recording a long-run, too. The music videos of the four songs released in the project so far have surpassed 100 million views on YouTube, setting an unprecedented record.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG is also having world tour in line with performances for their new songs. A concert will be held in Thailand on July 11 and 12, and then BIGBANG will continue with the world tour to meet 1.4 million fans around the world in 70 concerts in 15 countries including the United States and Canada.
