[NEWS] Big Bang’s Monster featured @ Stereogum’s “The 5 Best Videos Of The Week”


This week for videos just fucking absolutely ruled, so before we get into what made this list, let’s take a moment for all the videos that missed the cut. Among the casualties: Two eye-grabbing clips for A-list indie anthems, amind-warping and visually sumptuous CocoRosie clip, a great bare-bones performance video, a legitimately funny minute-long sketch, a fun-to-watch fantasy/empowerment thing, a typically-engrossing ASAP Rocky video, a visually gorgeous and kinda-racist treatment of a massive pop-star duet, and a Willie Nelson videothat treats its father/son relationship so simply and tenderly that I found myself moved watching it. Now here’s what did make it.

5. BigBang – “Monster” (Dir. ?)

BigBang are obviously the greatest boy band in the known universe, and though their “Monster” video doesn’t approach the hallucinatory future-pop visions of “Fantastic Baby,” it still has explosions and high-kicks and inexplicable fashion decisions and a great beast’s-eye-view shot of a mad dash through a prison minefield, or something. Delightfully confusing, in the grandest K-pop tradition.

[NEWS/INFO] YG Entertainment opens its own eBay store


Joining forces with eBay Korea, YG Entertainment has launched its very own eBay store, ‘YG Store‘ (http://stores.ebay.com/ygentertainment).

The new eBay store will serve as an outlet for fans overseas to purchase their own copy of Big Bang‘s special edition ‘Still Alive‘ album, as well as upcoming works and fan merchandise for other YG artists like 2NE1 and Se7en.

With the opening of the store, Big Bang will be launching their own special corner on the site under ‘eBay Celebrity‘ (celebrity.ebay.com), becoming the first Korean artist to do so. Through it, the group will put up merchandise such as autographed CDs and donate the proceeds to a good cause.

eBay Korea’s Na Yong Ho stated, “There are currently over 10,000 collectibles related to Hallyu stars on eBay, showing the level of interest in Hallyu. Thus, we believe that with its opening, ‘YG Store’ will play a significant role in the export of Hallyu.

YG Entertainment commented, “With increase in demand of international fans, we hope to further the convenience of purchasing items by the international fans with the opening of the eBay store.

7. GD&TOP – “High High” (2010)

Hair-gelled boy-band cuties — low-top-faded G-Dragon and new romantically silver-white-pompadoured TOP, both from ubiquitous chart-toppers Big Bang — grow up, toughen up, sex it up (their logo risks Playboy infringement), and hit the night in expensive suits. “Like ninjas,” they say. Old-school ones: “Mistah G, in da club, in my B-boy staaance.” In the video, they raise glasses to a dance floor with way more Caucasian than Asian girls on it, and their music grows gruffer and faster as it buttaflies higher and higher, then suddenly explodes into a playground chant: “G-H-E-T-T-O! E-L-E-C-T-R-O!” This is how LMFAO and Far East Movement want to sound. C.E.
