So, this weeks was kind of intense. Firstly, because I have a lot of friends who are very excited for G-Dragon's comeback. It seems like the whole world gravitates around that...at least for them. Also, tomorrow/today is his birthday and yeah...happy 25th birthday Kwon JiYong.
His comeback teaser already appeared and even though I'm definitely not a big fan (or a fan at all) of his, it sounds catchy and interesting.
Secondly, the whole week was very Seungri-ish because of his comeback. Because he's kind of my favorite, my friends just keep sending me news and well...everything he does on the social sites he has. At first I thought his album is about love but it seems is more about his ups and downs in his personal life. It seems there's been a lot of angst and disappointment in his romantic life. Anyway, his comeback teaser appeared too and it's +18. I'm almost 20 so I don't care but my underage friends definitely do because it's a little hard to watch it on YouTube.
Also, there are just 12 more days until Heechul (from Super Junior) will end his military service. It's been quite some time and I also miss him. He was awesome and incredibly sincere and just...a jerk sometimes. I love that. I'm very curious how the popularity of Super Junior will change when he returns because I bet it will. Heechul has that spark...I'm a fan of Heechul.
Also, something new...2NE1's comeback? It was pretty awesome and I like the band and I like Do You Love Me? but not that much. It didn't blow me away. However, Kang Seung Yoon did. He took the rock-ish sound and I like it. It's a break from the repetitive beats of K-Pop.
Have you seen this yet? Lol, I laughed my freaking ass off. I listened it for a few hours and now, while I pushed play on Crayon, it started again. Let's say 'Why so serious?' went very well with "I'll free fall from my apartment". Well let's all enjoy something definitely funny. It may just make your day.
I seriously have a problem...seriously. I have his album and I have listened to it but right now I'm just listening to it again and again and again and it's freaking me out. I mean it has been on repeat for a while now and it's so unlike me. I usually leave aside other albums, at least until I miss some songs from it. Pff...And what surprises me is that I seem to interpret them differently than before. Damn time for making me more mature and I guess...damn me for learning music at a deeper level...Damn Seungri anyway...why does he have to be so cute...
Regarding Big Bang, there are a lot of news. Before taking them each, separately, as a whole, Big bang worked their way up and made history. Their latest album was extremely good and showed just how alive, passionate and talented these guys are. Fantastic Baby, Monster, Bad Boy and Blue. These are the songs which have MV's but let's not forget the whole package which is awesome. These are songs that stay with you for a while (meaning they are too catchy and fun to listen to). From what I know, Big Bang will tour the world and the fans are the ones who will decide which country or state or city will they sing into. Also, they might be able to sing on EMA's (it was written on Twitter by Taeyang if I remember correctly) and that's something I want to see.
The members. Firstly, G-Dragon is reeking havoc in the minds of young ladies. There were rumours of his solo comeback and that itself was a big thing for fans. There were so many assumptions that you couldn't even imagine what will happen. Each fan had his own image of it. When the MV of One of a Kind appeared, it was insane. Everyone started to comment and find the symbolism in the video and some just enjoyed it. Of course, I already talked about this song. That XX (which would stand for motherfucker or some other not that offensive swear, at least for me) was something else. It appeared not long ago and it has over 4.000.000 views. I sincerely admire how soft the melody is next to the lyrics, which aren't that soft...at all. The girl used in the video, which is obviously so much younger than GD, is one of the members of that new YG girls group. There are not many information about it. Anyway, G-Dragon's album will officially be available on September 18th. There will be a Gold and Bronze edition but in my view, both look so awesome and well done. The price is somewhere around $14 (16.300 KRW which for Romanians is about 50 RON) so anyway you look at it, it's not expensive.
Another member who's very active is Seungri. He may not be in South Korea but his presence filled the hearts of the Japanese fans. Since middle June, I believe, until now, he's been running around Japan, promoting not only himself but Big Bang too. It's very admirable since he's really young and works so much in the benefit of, actually, everyone. He keeps the link with the fans through a diary where he tells everybody what he's done and some of his thought for that day. He has a show where he interviews celebrities from Japan but I think I saw someone from Korea too. But anyway,his Japanese improved a lot and so did his entertaining talent. He's learning from big people how to be as close as possible a fun entertainer. Also, he's comedic side seems to arise a lot and I do believe he's tired as hell but he choose his dream and he should take responsibility. He's been cast into a Japanese drama, his first actually, Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo - Hong Kong Kowloon Treasure Murder Case . His character will be a Korean exchange student. The principle character will be played by HEY!SAY!JUMP!'s Yamada Ryosuke (who's adorable!) Anyway you look at it, Seungri's doing his job either in Korea or Japan or anywhere else.
TOP, there's not much to say about him because he's been working intently on the set of 'Alumnus', a movie directed by Park Shin Woo. He is pretty busy with that and right now, there's nothing else to say. I believe things will liven up when the tours outside of Asia will start. Anyway, there's been posted on Twitter a picture with a guy taking a picture (duh) and he was shirtless. A lot of fans speculate it may be TOP, for real, but who knows.
Taeyang, our loveable Young Bae has been active on Twitter and even trolled his fans. Seriously, he wrote in a post how he has a girlfriend and doesn't want to keep her hidden any more. DAMN how happy I was when I read that (since he needs a girl, thing he wrote later on Twitter and GD approved...and added he needs one too. These guys need to get laid) but when I opened the link, it was a fucking picture of a animated girl Mina has drawn. I was disappointed, I recognize. I'm not sure what he does right now but I've seen him taking a lot of pictures into the studio so I'm wishing for the best. He does some promoting too but I'm not in Korea yet so I don't know.
Daesung, our crazy and secretive vocalist with an awesome voice has been around Japan, promoting too. He showed up at Seungri's fan meeting and supported his dongsaeng. I... seriously don't know what he's doing except that. I read and searched and tried really hard to find something about his activities right now but there's none. Or they may be but my resources are limited. I don't know.
What an AWESOME song! From the teasers I couldn't really put my hand on what was the song supposed to talk about but now, after seeing and hearing the hole song I am amazed. The English in the song is not much but like always, it has sense. I seriously got very touched by Monster. It can have so many meanings. Personally, I believe it's about their lives as idols and the 'baby' in the song are actually the VIP's. I usually take songs at a deeper level and it just stroke something deep in my heart. The video practically has them cornered and they fight to break free. G-Dragon seems to be a half demon, hence that one corn. He looks really hot with red hair and that pierce, though I don't find the pierce very attractive on him. TOP, to me, seems to be a cowboy Sherlock but damn, his eyes are so mesmerizing and at the same time, freaky. He looks hot as well. Taeyang is a Minotaur, or so he looks like (maybe since his zodiac sign is Taurus?) but then again, Daesung is a ram. Now, what's intriguing me is that Seungri seems just...to be. He looks like his usual self, but with creepy lens and he doesn't seem to have something at all, except maybe that restraining jacket.
Overall, no, the whole MV is daebak. I love it from the smallest detail to their image. It's quite artistic and YG was very inspired to make it.
On his respectful name, Lee Seung Hyun, is the maknae of the well known band, Big Bang. From what I've seen, he's one of the most evil maknae, together with Kyuhyun and Changmin. However, people don't consider him that extraordinary cute or things like that. In my point of view, Seungri reminds me of a young, fussy teenage boy who whenever he doesn't gets his toys, he makes a big fuss. He talks a lot and says just what he shouldn't, he doesn't seem respectful at all and he's always doing something stupid. Over all these imperfections, he does have good parts too. I like him a lot because he's not afraid to speak, even if it's something unrelated or illogical. He says whatever he wants and he's quite courageous maknae. Besides that, we have to recognize he's a talented artist.
I sincerely believe no one has the right to judge anyone and so, I won't judge him but I bet he's an easy subject to make fun of. He gives that vibe (through videos lol) of a guy who always has something to ramble or whine about. But it's so much fun to watch him and listen to his voice. He's really hard to get unseen and he's a remarkable member of Big Bang. Despite his age, I believe he would make an extraordinary business man. It's obvious he has brains. He's not stupid at all and he knows very well what he's doing. I don't think he thinks everything through but I bet anything Seungri wants, he, eventually, gets it. :D That cute face of his definitely hides something more grown up. That's what I, personally, believe.
