Big Bang Reflects On Group Comeback, How To Gain Popularity Overseas and The Future

Ever since they announced that they were going to make a comeback this year, Big Bang has been dominating every news headline. Each track from their fourth mini-album has swept the music charts, and the album itself continues to rank on Billboard’s ‘Top 10′ – all this without any formal promotions from the boys.

The members recently sat down to an interview with Kyunghyang on the afternoon of March 4th, and they shared their throughts on their recent achievements, their future, as well as on the Korean Music Industry.

NOTE: This has all been translated. LOL.

Q. “Did you know that you had ranked on the Billboard chart?”

G-Dragon: “We had no idea. We just woke up a second ago and headed over. I’ve never thought about advancing into the U.S., but I think I should start thinking about that now. I hope to show the process it takes to transform from an idol into a musician.”

Q. “This achievement means that your talents were recognized overseas.”
Taeyang: “I think we only achieved it because the internet allows music to be heard all over the world. We listened to a lot of music outside of Korea and reflected that, which I think worked.”

G-Dragon: “There’s definitely a lot more pressure now.”

Taeyang: “There’s also the fact that K-pop is earning global popularity now.”

-

Q. “This album seems to have a nice mix of acoustic and electronic sounds.”

Taeyang: “We ourselves are tired of the electric sounds that seems to have such a strong hold over Korean music lately. We unanimously decided to present warmer music this time.”

G-Dragon: “Stylistically, you can consider our album a mesh of analog and emotional sounds. The sound is trendy, but we focused on bringing emotions into the melody line and lyrics.”

-

Q. “The members all had a lot of individual and unit promotions. What did you learn from that?”

Taeyang: “I found what buries me in group promotions.”

Seungri: “I learned how to grab hold of the stage and how to react quickly.”

G-Dragon: “I’m both proud and glad that we directed another pathway that male idols can walk down.”

T.O.P: “It was fun learning something new. I feel joy from expressing something through both music and acting.”

Daesung: “It was an opportunity for me to assure myself and fill myself with hope regarding the road I was to walk down in the future. I want to become someone who could positively give joy to others through music, someone who manages to wash away all of the worries of others whenever they look at me.”

Q. “There were rumors about disbandment and such.  How did you overcome those?”

Taeyang: “Communication was the wisest option.”

Daesung: “Now that our group reached our sixth year, our individual colors have bcome a lot stronger, which consequently brings out such crises. But the more that happens, the more we try to band tighter together and talk things out. It helps us realize, ‘What I thought wasn’t right.’ Even though our opinions are different, as long as our meaning towards music remains the same, it resolves everything.”

-

Q. “Did you ever feel problems towards your agency or their system?”
Taeyang: “I wouldn’t specifically call it discord with our agency, but I think there are problems with Korea’s music industry as a whole. Copyrighting and distributions do not seem to be going in the right direction.”

G-Dragon: “As an artist, there are so many things we need to pay attention to. Japan has a great system that allows us to focus entirely on our music without outside distractions, but Korea isn’t the same. Since we’re idols, we have to go on variety programs… With a fatigued body and mind, the quality of our album inevitably drops, which disappoints our fans as well.”

-

Q. “You’re now six years into your idol careers. Any thoughts about your future?”

G-Dragon: “We don’t have plans about our future; we’ve never made specific goals. When you set something, that’s your limit. You can’t go further than that. Isn’t it better for us to just disregard what others think and love ourselves and continue pursuing music?”

Taeyang: “Around last year, our members did discuss something like that. We basically decided that you can never tell what will happen in a person’s future. We decided that we’d just like for our passions for our music and our careers to never change.”

-

Q. “Do you date?  Don’t you receive restrictions on your personal lives?”
Seungri: “Idols these days seem to date on-screen. Of course, not me. More than anything, I try to think before I speak, but I do make mistakes. Before, I went through difficulties because of that…”

T.O.P: “It was difficult not having private time to ourselves, but we earned something else. Now I just think of it as giving up something you have to, nothing more and nothing less.”

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Caught Smooching in The Carribean

OH WOW. Tryna downplay your rumours of romance guys? You certainly look rather cozy...kissing and cuddling?! in St Lucia?! You guys have got in bad....lol!
The pop star, 16, and Disney actress, 18, have been spotted in rather intimate sitiuations over the past month, but they've been rather coy about their relationship status.

"We just like to hang out. They shouldn't be stopping us from going out to dinner and things like that," Gomez told PEOPLE last month.

Bieber recently told MTV News about Gomez, "She's really cool. She's an amazing person." But he added: "I gotta keep some things to myself."

The teens have been trying to downplay it all but the new photos of the couple canoodling in their bathing suits has caused an uproar on Twitter where many fans expressed their passionate feelings about the "supposed" pairing.

One user, BiebsLoveMe, wrote on Twitter, "@selenagomez crazy how you'd do that stuff to your 'little brother.' " A clearly unhappy Bieber fan, ItsBieberSweet, wrote, "that should be me :(." But some fans are supportive of the Gomez and Bieber. "When I see those piccs from @justinbieber & @selenagomez I'm freaking out inside," iNerdGlasses wrote. "But then I realize, he likes her so.. I won't stop him :)" Another fan, 4everSelGFan, wrote, "@selenagomez I love you with all my heart & I always will, no matter what you do or who you date. I'm just happy to see you happy :) xoxo."
Well I guess it is kinda sweet of those supporting fans but what I really want is what YOU think of this whole no-we're-not-dating-we're-just-friends kind of situation. Just drop by and leave me a comment. I think what matters is what you think. Are you a supporter? or a 100% hater?

Justin Bieber Kicks Off UK Tour

Ok, here we go. Britain, Bieber has arrived. Whoooo....lol, response anyone? Jkjk. You guys are probably screaming your heads off now...

Well then, pop singer Justin Bieber took the stage in Birmingham last night to kick off his UK Tour, “My World”. Wow, how many of his albums or songs have that name already? Let me tell you one time, I suggest you come up with something more original.

There was of course the compulsory crowd of screaming teenagers who obviously drowned out the music, but it was also quite good for those who have been dragged along for the ride against their wishes – people who are usually called parents. You know: tall, sometimes naggy, older...? You get the picture.

The singer performed for two hours, and ok ok, I'll have to say that was pretty impressive for such a "new" artist, though I'm not that big of a Bieber fan. Don't scream girls, but tour dates around the UK continue over the next couple of weeks, including nights in Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield and London. I remember just last year I was listening to the radio and a nobody was being interviewed about his new song "One Time". Who knew he'll become a teenage heartthrob overnight?

SHINee's Taemin Transfer To An Arts School Due To Busy Schedule

SHINee's maknae Taemin, who will be entering his senior year this year, has decided to transfer in order to focus on his hectic schedule for SHINee's advancement into the Japan. The decision came about because his career commitments made it difficult for him to meet the required attendance figure for Chung Dam High School.

Netizens commented, “It’s an important year for him, I hope the change doesn’t mess anything up” and “He’s leaving in order to fulfill his dreams, so I don’t think it’s anything bad. I respect his decision.” 

SHINee Concert

Hmmm the SHINee boys eh? No upcoming concerts yet, the last one was on January 2nd in Seoul, Korea. Any updates I'll let you guys know fo sho.

Movie Watch List: I Am Number Four

People, if you haven't watched this yet, be sure to check it out. It's like, a major break through for Alex Pettyfer. It hit the theatres a little while back...hmm last week I think lol. Ok well check out the trailer.

I am Number Four - Official Trailer [HD]

Alex Pettyfer...Upcoming Bright Spark? Talent, or No Talent at all?

Alex Richard Pettyfer aka Number Four as most people know him as, has been seen in plently of upcoming movies nowadays. Could he be the next big upcoming star? He is rather smexy(I'm a sucker for blonde hair) but he ain't gonna take the place of the hot Garrett Hedlund who just played Sam Flynn in Tron: Legacy right? I should say he is talented though. In case you guys don't know, Alex has played the character of Alex Rider in the 2006 movie Stormrider.  News has reported that Alex has recently accepted the role of Daniel Grigori from the book, Fallen. Heard about it? It ain't that bad really, read it like 4 months ago...it's actually rather good. There's been no news whether he has accepted the role of Jace Wayland from the book series, The Mortal Instruments. I strongly want him to though. He is the splitting image of what everyone wants Jace to be portrayed as. Alex is single at the moment, after splitting with Glee star Dianna Agron. I suggest you guys to check out his movies that just hit the theatres or gonna be in soon: I Am Number Four(co-starring Dianna Agron) and Beastly(co-starring Vanessa Hudgens). MAJOR SWOON NOW...
