[OSEN Focus] “Powerful” vs “Chilled” BIGBANG: Battle of the Different

201506051346775579_557129d21af24_99_20150605135603

[OSEN=??? ??] BIGBANG is definitely providing a source of entertainment for the fans. It is the two completely different charms—powerful “BANG BANG BANG” and an easygoing, chilled “WE LIKE 2 PARTY.”

At 12am of June 1, BIGBANG unveiled the second album “A” of the MADE SERIES. The album features “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY,” and these two tracks are quite a change from the previous “LOSER” and “BAE BAE.” Fans are truly entertained by BIGBANG’s different colors.

“BANG BANG BANG” is said to be an extension of “FANTASTIC BABY” and “LIES,” with fast and powerful beat that leaves a strong impression. It is dynamic yet upbeat, drawing in the listeners.

About “BANG BANG BANG,” GD once explained, “The song reminds me of a powerful performance that is associated with BIGBANG. ‘LOSER’ and ‘BAE BAE’ are more of sentimental tracks, while this one is upbeat and fun like ‘FANTASTIC BABY’”.



The music video of “BANG BANG BANG” unveiled on the same day as the track itself attracted much attention with its fiery power. BIGBANG with vivid makeup appears in the dark, expressing their performance in such dynamic ways. It is like a blockbuster movie. The video featuring BIGBANG’s charisma and their identity are arousing much attention in the music world. 

On the other hand, “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” captures BIGBANG in the most candid selves. It is different to “BANG BANG BANG” in the sense that they look nothing like themselves in the other track. From the famous subway appearance to Jeju island, BIGBANG is featured living their daily lives.

They let go of their charisma and chill out in the video, being playful with each other. It is almost child-like. They doodle on DAESUNG’s face while he is fast asleep. All of these look very natural.

They unveiled the performance for the first time on Mnet’s M Countdown on June 4. Fans’ reaction was simply mind-blowing. For “BANG BANG BANG” they showcased a sharp and structured choreography with powerful ambience, while for “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” they sang all chilled and relaxed. Both left such powerful impressions.

BIGBANG is certainly entertaining the viewers from “LOSER,” “BAE BAE,” “BANG BANG BANG” to “WE LIKE 2 PARTY,” which are all part of the MADE Project. Each song carries different colors. With two more singles left to be unveiled until August, they are attracting much attention already for their future songs.

BIGBANG’s TAEYANG on Sketchbook: “GD Expert in Dating, Plays Hard To Get”

20150604_1433396067_44037900_1_99_20150604143912

[TV???=??? ??] BIGBANG’s TAEYANG appeared on the program “Sketchbook” and unveiled that GD is an expert in dating, apparently playing hard-to-get.

On June 2 the quintet filmed the program that will be aired though KBS 2. BIGBANG is arousing much attention since their release of album “A,” sweeping across all music charts.

Appearing from where the audience was seated, BIGBANG left them in awe by delivering quality performances.

In the session where they complement each other, TAEYANG commented that GD is good at playing hard-to-get, explaining it with an anecdote. “When GD meets a girl he likes, he pretends that he is suddenly sick and that he is in need of company.” GD looked surprised by this sudden revelation.

SEUNGRI said TAEYANG is good at doing headstand, and added, “When I just joined YG, I saw TAEYANG do a headstand right after he took a shower. Then I thought, so this is what YG is like,” making everyone laugh. TAEYANG denied it, but he replayed the exact scene, surprising everyone. 

The MC, Yoo Hee Yeol, added, “Did you think this was YG-like because he is in a shape of Y when he does the headstand?” making everyone laugh once again.

The program featuring Yoon Jong Shin, BIGBANG and Urban Jakapa will be aired at 11:35 pm on KBS2 on June 5.

[Billboard] BIGBANG Spotlight Their Strong Friendship in 'We Like 2 Party' Video

bigbang kpop2015f 650BIGBANG's music videos have earned the band more than a half-billion YouTube views, in big part due to their out-of-control visuals like when they played punky ravers in "Fantastic Baby" (152 million views), emo B-boys in "Bad Boy" (62 million), or were stylish rebels in this week's "Bang Bang Bang" (with eight million clicks three days later). But for their latest, the guys are showing a new sides of themselves -- their playful one.

Watch below as the quintet showcase their awesome bromance in the DIY-styled visual -- which at one point sees the guys filming with a selfie stick and what looks like personal footage of G-Dragon in his bedroom. Just like all over 20-somethings, the boys love drinking with their friends, singing karaoke and drawing on their passed-out squad member's face (tough luck, Daesung).


But unlike other 20-somethings, the BIGBANG boys are followed by dozens at all times, seen when they're mobbed at the airport by fans -- a situation the guys take advantage of and incorporate their followers into the video, bringing one woman on the verge of tears.

The adorable clip is reminiscent of their label mates 2NE1's "Do You Love Me" video, which saw the girls also strip away their powerful personas for a more candid visual -- which made it one of their best vids to date.

"We Like 2 Party" -- which sounds like it could be a One Direction single if it was stripped of its hip-hop elements -- was released alongside the double-A single "Bang Bang Bang" earlier this week. Along with other strong releases this week, both tracks are fighting to top Billboard's World Digital Songs chart, which will be revealed next week. Stay tuned to Billboard's K-Town for chart updates.
