Over a thousand fans will attend BIGBANG GD and Taeyang’s military discharge.

A G-Dragon fan account announced on Twitter Tuesday that they’re planning a welcome home greeting for GD in Cheorwon on the 26th and over 2,100 fans from Korea, Japan, and China have confirmed their applications so far. The fan account reportedly received membership fees of 18,000 won per person and completed express bus reservations. The group plan to gather around 2:00 am in Seoul to depart for Cheorwon.

Considering that fans and reporters will gather for GD’s discharge, the number of people present is expected to easily exceed 3,000. Similarly, Taeyang is also completing his mandatory enlistment in Cheorwon and is set to be discharged on the 10th and a similar crowd level is expected.

But officials are expressing worries over the gathering as swine fever virus has been detected in the area leading to several festivals in the area to be cancelled. A Cheorwon County official stated, “It’s unfortunate that thousands of fans are planning to visit the military unit at a time when many events in the region have been cancelled. We have no choice but to increase the quarantine level on nearby roads with help from the military forces.”

Hana Financial Investment Researcher Releases Analysis Of YG’s Financial Status

Hana Financial Investment Researcher Releases Analysis Of YG’s Financial Status

Oct 23, 2019

On October 23, Hana Financial Investment Co., Ltd released their analysis of the state of YG Entertainment’s finances.

Earlier this year, YG’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk, stepped down from his position at the company after a series of scandals. His brother, the CEO, also resigned. After his resignation, Yang Hyun Suk became the subject of investigations regarding suspicions of prostitution mediation and illegal gambling. Despite the resignation, the company continued to be impacted by the public perception of scandal.

However, the Hana Financial Investment report was cautiously optimistic, suggesting that if BIGBANG renews their contract and TREASURE 13 can make their debut, the company has much potential for growth over the next year.

Lee Ki Hoon, a researcher at Hana Financial Investment, said, “BIGBANG’s contract renewal remains a big hurdle for the company, but the state of uncertainty is clearing up a little after the recent repayment of redeemable convertible preference shares, the conclusion of various tax audits and police investigations, and the BIGBANG members’ upcoming discharges from the military. If they can make BIGBANG’s promotions and TREASURE 13’s debut a reality, then their potential for growth will make them the biggest entertainment agency next year.”

The report also predicted that the third and fourth quarter sales of this year would be around 63.9 billion won (about $54.5 million), a 2 percent decrease from the same period last year. The operating loss was estimated to be around 1.3 billion won (about $1.1 million).

Lee Ki Hoon said, “But with AKMU’s digital sales, WINNER’s comeback, and BLACKPINK’s expected comeback, the fourth quarter will see a rise in the company’s original business.”

Nonetheless, the key focus of the report is on YG’s future. Lee Ki Hoon said, “The most important question after the BIGBANG members are discharged from the military is whether they’ll renew their contracts.”

He continued, “In the past five years, SM and YG held about 20-40 dome concerts per year combined. Of those, 40-50 percent were BIGBANG. If a Japanese dome tour can yield the expected results (about 800,000 to 1 million people per year), then the yearly business profits can easily go over 30 billion won (about 25.6 million).”

Lee Ki Hoon cautioned that TREASURE 13 must make their debut early next year, however, in order to contend with a highly competitive rookie market. He pointed out that SM Entertainment has talked about the possibility of debuting new groups next year, while Big Hit Entertainment already has a head start with TXT. He concluded, “But anticipation is still high [for TREASURE 13], with its member lineup, including four Japanese members, and its collaboration with YG producers.”

Following his highly sought after Nike Air Force 1 ‘Para?Noise’ that was unveiled back in summer, K-pop legend G-Dragon is back in the sneaker game, this time teaming up with Converse for a PEACEMINUSONE-branded Chuck 70. Image courtesy of sneaker insider @s.sam.group, let’s take our first look!

Painted in a clean black and white colourway that’s become synonymous to the BIGBANG leader, the Con is crafted from a hard wearing canvas for a classic-meets-contemporary vibe. Along the medials, you’ll find the usual “All Star” logo, while the laterals are embroidered with GD’s signature daisy motif. You’ll also find a half-cut PEACEMINUSONE logo just above the midsole.

At this moment in time, pretty much nothing else us known about the PEACEMINUSONE x Converse Chuck 70, but according to rumours, it should drop before the end of the year. Could this be one of the hottest Converse collabs of 2019? Let us know what you’re thinking, and for the latest and greatest sneaker news, keep your eyes peeled at The Sole Supplier!

YG Asks Fans Not To Visit BIGBANG Members On Their Discharge Days For Safety Reasons

Oct 23, 2019

BIGBANG’s agency has asked fans not to visit G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung for their upcoming military discharges.

On October 23, YG Entertainment shared the following statement via BIGBANG’s website:

Hello, this is YG Entertainment.

This is a notice regarding the discharges of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung in October and November.

The military bases where G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung are serving are in border territory where the African swine fever (ASF) virus has been detected. In order to prevent further spread of the virus, the quarantine system is being strengthened, and not visiting this area is being recommended.

Civil authorities have also requested extra caution, so we ask that fans refrain from visiting for their discharges in order to prevent spread of the virus and for the safety of fans.

We thank V.I.P who have been waiting for the discharges of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, and we once again ask for fans to refrain from visiting.

G-Dragon enlisted in February 2018, while Taeyang and Daesung enlisted in March of the same year. G-Dragon is set to be discharged on October 26, and Taeyang and Daesung will be discharged in November.
