G-Dragon Differentiates BIGBANG from Other Groups Like EXO or SHINee

On the June 18 broadcast of JTBC’s “News Room,” BIGBANG member G-Dragon sat down for an interview with well-respected anchorman Sohn Suk Hee.

During the interview, Sohn Suk Hee asked, “What would you say is the difference between BIGBANG and other competing groups like EXO or SHINee, who have also released albums and are currently promoting?”

G-Dragon answered, “The difference is that we make our own songs, and our music appeals well to the public, and the public also likes these songs.”

The anchorman added, “Don’t you think the fans of EXO and SHINee will be angry at this statement?” to which G-Dragon responded, “They could get angry, but there’s nothing I can do because it’s the truth.”

Sohn Suk Hee continued, “It seems that [making your own songs] is important.” In response, the BIGBANG member shared, “It can’t be unimportant. For me personally, if I were to sing a song that I received from another composer, I wouldn’t have confidence. I’m not sure about other people, but because I have always expressed myself through the songs I make from a young age, I would be lacking in expression [when singing other people’s songs] compared to other singers.”

parris-goebelThe 23-year-old avant-garde choreographer and hip-hop dance star Parris Goebel was behind some of the tightest moves in K-pop. Goebel also led the ReQuest Crew, an all-female New Zealand dance group, to two victories at the World Hip Hop Dance Championships. In her first-ever Kpopstarz interview, she discusses what it was like to work with BIGBANG on the music video "Bang Bang Bang" and band member Taeyang on his solo hit "Ringa Linga."

KpopStarz: Your choreography incorporates strong, hard-hitting moves for both male and female dancers. What influenced your style of dancing?
Parris Goebel: I am influenced by music, fashion, art and people, through social media and real life.

KpopStarz: Was it difficult to transition from performing as a dancer to working as a choreographer?
Parris Goebel: Not at all, I have always been a choreographer.

KpopStarz: What are your most memorable performances with ReQuest Crew?
Parris Goebel: Our first win at the World Hip Hop Dance Championships, in 2009.

KpopStarz: Can you describe the creative process behind your choreography for "Bang, Bang Bang?" How long did it take to instruct the dancers? What was it like to work with BIGBANG?
Parris Goebel: I played the song and I found inspiration through the music. Then, I literally interpreted the lyrics of the song. It took three days to instruct the dancers. All of the five guys in BIGBANG are great and fun to work with.

BIGBANG demonstrated their presence by dominating a number of music charts at home and abroad with the four songs they released this year. “LOSER” and “BAE BAE” are somewhat sentimental, while “BANG BANG BANG” is an intense hip hop dance song. “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” is a bright and light song that goes well with summer.

As of June 15th, “LOSER” and “BANG BANG BANG” took first place on music charts for more than 500 hours (based on Genie’s hourly chart), reflecting the fact that BIGBANG has a wide base of popularity, not just confined to its fandom.

Then, what would the new songs to be released in July be like?
