Since November of 2008, Big Bang has taken an extremely long hiatus from the Korean music market. Although the boys have created digital releases for CFs and contributed in drama OSTs, fans have been patiently waiting for a solid official release. Yet the longer the hiatus stretches, the more anxious fans have become. The situation has degenerated to the point where there are whispers of deteriorating relationships amongst the members, or that the members enjoy acting more than music.
Big Bang appeared at Taeyang’s ‘Solar’ concert on September 26th to show their support for their fellow member. As the concert came to a close, leader G-Dragon met with reporters and revealed the current progress of their next album.
G-Dragon stated, “We’ve completed the song productions but we’ve yet to decide what kind of concept to go with. There were a lot of songs we made over the past two years, but that also means there are a lot to choose from. It wasn’t easy choosing songs that fit Big Bang and would also satisfy our fans.”
One of the main concerns for the group was the changed music tastes of the mass public and the fast cycling of the music market. G-Dragon solemnly continued, “I have no confidence in the market anymore. These days, singers finish their promotion cycles in three weeks, and everything changes again. The thought of preparing for two years and only receiving three weeks of love is upsetting.”
G-Dragon brings up an interesting phenomenon that has been occurring lately. Songs are ever-changing and receive the “old” treatment once three weeks go by. New songs are always pouring into the market and singers are constantly releasing new songs in order to keep up.
G-Dragon concluded, “I want to sing songs that receive love over longer periods of time. We’ll be working our hardest to make sure that a new Big Bang album is released by the end of this year.”

“I always buy a lot of clothes when I come to Japan”
Q: What was your childhood dream?
GD: Singer. I dreamt of becoming a singer ever since I was a kid. I wrote lyrics for the first time when I was a student in elementary school. It was to express my feelings and I wanted to convey my thoughts to everyone.
Q: GD is always fashionable. What is the most important point when choosing your clothes?
GD: The shape is the most important point. I choose clothes that fit my body well. Before, I just like unique clothes that no one would wear. However, my taste is changing a little lately. Now, I like simple clothes or black stuff rather than something colorful. I buy a lot of clothes in Japan because there are lots of fashionable stores here. I think I go shopping more in Japan than in Korea.
Q: Your new single in Japan is “Beautiful Hangover” and GD wrote parts of the lyrics. What were your thoughts in this song?
GD: I have never made something with a theme like this before. The title of this song is “Beautiful Hangover”. “Love” and “Hangover” are two different things. When I wrote the lyrics, I was thinking of comparing love to something crazy that a person with a hangover would do. It was not a personal experience. I just imagined the situation of going crazy about someone. When I fall in love, I may be like the person in this song.
Q: What is the most “Beautiful” thing for you?
GD: Sunset. I like it when the sun just sets and it looks red. Jeongdongjin in Korea is famous for its beautiful landscape of the sea where you can watch the beautiful sunset.
Q: How do you create your great songs?
GD: Sometimes, I create the melody with the lyrics already. But sometimes, I listen to a track that someone made first and it sparks my imagination. Then, I create the melody and the lyrics after. The melody and lyrics of “Somebody to Love” in the new album were made at the same time. I usually come up with lyrics around midnight just before falling asleep.
Q: What is the most unforgettable song of BIGBANG?
GD: “Lies” which was released in 2007 in Korea. Our name became popular because of this song. In addition, many happenings and funny events happened during the time we were promoting it. Because of these reasons, this song is the most unforgettable. I also like the MV because it was like a drama.
Q What do you really want to try this autumn?
GD: I want to try bungee jumping. (Laughs) You can do bungee jumping in Bundang in Korea but I have never tried it so I want to try. I want to jump to my heart’s content and drive all my stresses away. (Laughs) I’m not scared of standing somewhere high. The height you have to jump (for the bungee jumping) in Korea is about 40 meters. It doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe, I can even jump from somewhere higher…but 100 meters is probably impossible! (Laughs)

Criticisms will help me in my development
The person who determines BIGBANG’s music is their leader, G-Dragon~
G-Dragon: We want to release a new album in Korea this November so I’m preparing for it. However, it feels like climbing a new mountain. Lately, “Electropop” is very popular in Korea and I think that we have to break away from this. We want to make a different type of music that will make people reminisce about the past and feel warm. This is the kind of mountain we definitely want to climb.
We heard that his talent as a producer is not only known in Korea but also in other countries~
G-Dragon: To be honest, it is more interesting to produce for myself than to produce for other people. This is because I have a grasp on everything I’m thinking and what I like. During my solo work last year, I was able to express everything I wanted to. But at the same time, I realized that there are a lot of “Anti G-Dragon”. But I think that their criticisms will help me develop.
