All the fans’ attentions are directed to BIGBANG’s unit group that will be releasing their new album after a long time.
The 5-member idol group BIGBANG under the label YG Entertainment has released an announcement in YG Blog on last 29th November regarding their new album that is gonna be released on February 2nd 2011. It has been 2 years and three months after BIGBANG released their 2nd album with the title song ‘Sunset Gow’ on last November 2008.
This news is enough to draw BIGBANG’s fans attention. And now YG giving out the news that BIGBANG’s Leader G-Dragon and the big hyung TOP will be releasing their album on December 24th as a duet. And they even revealed that maknae Seungri will be releasing a digital single on January 3rd 2011.
Then, right after all of the members’ unit activities finished BIGBANG will take place for their comeback.
On 30th November, YG’s CEO, Yang Hyun Suk, explained about the three reasons of the boys’ comeback through an exclusive via-phone interview with Starnews.
The first is, they have decided to put all of the members’ musics into BIGBANG’s new album.
Yang Hyun Suk said, “as much as Bigbang haven’t released a domestic album in a long time, in this new album they will include a solo song for each member–no duet song–and it will contain all five members’ music colors” and then he emphasized, “this is a present for all of Bigbang’s fans that have been waiting for them until now.” Then he said, “Bigbang hasn’t comeback in such a long time and now they have put their best efforts to make this album and ready to come back” and said, “it will be great to anticipate them,” with confidence.
The second reason is, after they decided to put all bigbang member’s colors into the album, the songs to start the album with are beyond expectation; there were a lot of songs that too good to put away. And so those songs were made into G-Dragon and TOP’s album, and Seungri’s solo single.
Yang Hyun Suk said, “Of course GD and TOP’s album and Seungri’s solo single was originally made with the thoughts of Bigbang’s album” and then he revealed, “It has been decided that in Bigbang’s album there are only Bigbang’s songs, and it’s such a pity to let the other songs go to waste when it can be a good gift for the fans. And so we decided to released G-Dragon and TOP’s album on December and Seungri’s solo song on January.” In addition, “In GD and TOP’s case, because they have composed a lot of songs, they only have to add in several songs and release the album.”
The last reason is to make Bigbang’s national activities longer.
He also said that, “Because GD and TOP’s duet songs are originally songs for Bigbang, so their album release can be considered as Bigbang’s national activity’s practical opening” and , “with this, Bigbang’s national activities can last longer, and of course this is for the fans that have been showing their interest towards Bigbang although they’re having such a long vacuum time,” and he emphasized, “Bigbang will give you a great time and will be active for the next one year.”

wow! December 15th and of course Jan.3 COME QUICK! I’m especially excited for Baby Ri’s comeback :”>
[I included this since it also mentioned GD ^^]
Since this will just be short, I decided to just post this up! 🙂 My fan account about GD, TOP and YB will take longer and more spazzing! Hahaha!
We arrived at the MAMA After Party and went straight to the VIP lounge. I think we were there for just around 10 minutes when we started to hear a commotion. Our table was really near the path that’s why we were able to run there right away. At this point, there was only a few of us in the VIP area so there was no crowd pushing us back and forth. So we had a direct view of 2ne1 up close! Like really really really close! I could even see the details of their make-up! ❤ We didn’t even have enough time to prepare because we didn’t really expect that they were going to show up. They entered and walked slowly… I started screaming “Dara! Dara! Dara! Sandara Park I love you!!! I love you!” *insert more fangirl screaming here* She smiled her shy but mega-watt smile at us. I have to say, at least this time around I had the wits to scream, “Bom, CL and Minzy” too! Hehehe.. Yay! We were so near them with no barricade between us. Truly, the only thing preventing us from touching them and ganging up on them was R-E-S-P-E-C-T! ❤ I am very proud to say that we kept a respectable amount of distance from them. We really didn’t want to push ourselves. We were just happy seeing Dara up close! 🙂 Truly, we were really really really happy! Euphoric even! We aren’t crazy obsessed Dara fangirls for nothing! Hehehe
I just have to add, DARA WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! She changed into a black jacket (no more purple fur) for the after party. The rest of the girls kept their MAMA clothes on.
Sorry! We really don’t have any fancam of them entering! We were too star struck to be so close to them and they really surprised us. We didn’t have time to prepare. There were 6 of us at the lounge and I don’t think one of us was able to get a fancam. Hopefully I’m wrong! 🙂 We’ll see!
A few minutes after them, GD, TOP and YB came in!!! This time around we were prepared!!! We have fancams of them entering. But this time around, there were already a couple of bodyguards. They weren’t prepared when 2ne1 came in, but they were prepared when GD, YB and TOP came in. I think its because majority of the crowd were fangirls! *I’ll talk about them in my fan account dedicated to them* 🙂
To be honest, 2ne1 completely disappeared into the Super VIP lounge. We barely saw a glimpse of them unlike GD, TOP and YB. There was only one time when Bom and Minzy sorta appeared and they weren’t even facing the crowd. They were talking to some American.
And sad to say, 2ne1 left the After Party right away. They probably stayed like less than 30 minutes. We got sad and bummed out after that. I think its because they had an early flight to catch. Papa YG was at the party and maybe he just wanted his girls to rest. Plus of course, Minzy is still a minor.
They went all ninja on us too. They avoided the huge crowd and passed secretly through our area. We were just sitting down when all of a sudden I saw Dara’s head! We ran near them again and screamed, “Dara! Dara! Dara! Dara! Dara!” again… She smiled and they were gone! POOF! WORSE THAN CINDERELLA! ❤
GD, YB and TOP are completely a different story altogether! They were partying the night away and flirting with the fans left and right! 🙂

FAN ACCOUNT OF 2NE1 AT THE MAMA AFTER PARTY! ❤ (it mentioned GD so, Imma post this up too :))
I’m sorry but I don’t think my totally exhausted mind can handle another round of fan accounts but I will give an introduction! 🙂 I hope you guys can wait for it after I get some sleep!
Before MAMA, we walked past the area where MAMA was going to hold their after party. We asked about the tickets and inquired about tickets to the VIP lounge. It was a little bit on the expensive side plus we really didn’t know if 2ne1 or GD, TOP and YB were going to be there but we just decided to risk it. I was totally scared but figured since we’re here anyway, why not go all out?
So, we decided to get tickets to the VIP lounge. Mind you, this isn’t the same area where the stars hung out but it has a really good view of them and where they would pass. The only thing preventing us from hugging and mauling our favorite artists was R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Hehehehe… Plus of course the champagne and vodka didn’t hurt! ❤
THE MAMA AFTER PARTY WAS ONE HELL OF A PARTY WITH GD, TOP AND YB GIVING FAN SERVICE LEFT AND RIGHT! GD couldn’t sit still! He was flirting with the crowd so much!
We have lots of fancams but I’ll upload them after I get some rest. ❤ Do you guys want to see GD, YB and TOP dancing for the crowd?

Q: Among the musicians you’ve choreographed for, who was the most impressive? In what aspects do you rate them highly?
Shaun Evaristo (Movement Lifestyle): G-Dragon and Taeyang. G-Dragon is a born entertainer with diverse talents, like acting, producing and rap. With such talents, he absorbed choreography with ease as well. With Taeyang, though I coached him in dance, our relationship has already passed that of teacher and student. He’s a friend, or, rather, you can say I’m a fan of Taeyang. His attitude toward learning and practicing dance is incomparable.
Q: If you were to pick a choreo that you were really satisfied with, but which didn’t get the public response that you’d hoped for?
SE: I would pick Taeyang’s “Where U At.” I think it’s because the moves don’t grab you immediately and were somewhat difficult to follow/learn.
Q: What’s the difference between choreographing for a solo artist and for a group?
SE: I personally favor solo. While making the choreography, I become the musician, and sometimes the musician becomes me. I enjoy that. It’s not easy choreographing for a group. You have to make sure that the members’ individuality doesn’t get buried in the group. For instance, with Big Bang each member has his own personality, so I have to make sure it remains alive within the group.
Q: If you were to pick one “Dance King” and one “Dance Queen” among the Korean musicians?
SE: Dance Queen is Boa. I really like her music, and I’d love to have a chance to work with her. I’ve even thought of a different concept for her. 2NE1’s Minzy would be like the Dance Princess. She has talent at a young age, but she’s humble and has great potential. Dance King is Taeyang. My friends in America call him “Tae-Daddy.” They believe he’s going to do big things not only in Korea, but also internationally.
Park Nam-Yong (JYP Head Choreographer): Bi. Would anyone think otherwise? I don’t know about a female musician.
Jeon Hong-Bok (Dance Team “Yama” Leader): For male, Taeyang. For female, I want to pick After School’s Gahee. I’ve heard that Taeyang practices constantly. He doesn’t have a big build, and yet he completely owns the stage. I think long arms are a big advantage. I worked with Gahee when she was a young dancer, and even then she stood out. Her moves are clean and powerful at the same time.
