CONGRATULATIONS SOOMPI!
Third thread for Big Bang! Yay! I would like to thank all the Soompi VIPs, specially to all the mods! Kudos to all your hard work and for always sharing all these amazing Big Bang news, videos, pictures and links! First page was awesome!
The Big Bang Soompi Interview was so awesome. The boys really took the time to answer the questions. Shoutout to juang and kc for having their questions answered by Dae! that was just pure awesomeness!
BB is busy with their Love and Hope Tour.... hope we can see them again soon... Get well soon GD!
YB's birthday is coming and I'm just wondering if VIPs have decided what to trend on his birthday. I've been seeing lots of recommendations. Hopefully, we can choose one and have a successful trending project on his birthday. I know he'll be busy at the time but I'm hoping he'll tweet on that day!
Again, thanks to all Soompi VIPs! Fighting!

it's been a while since the last time I posted here... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAESUNG!
Dae at MCD - Very happy and excited for his performance! I'm very thankful for those who shared fancams for his performance during the Big Show but watching him at MCD will be so much better!
Goodbye Stages - SO FAST!!! I can still remember waiting for the teasers for Love Song but now, they're doing their goodbye stages already. I will definitely miss having weekly, almost daily updates about Big Bang. I am hoping that they'll come back again before the year ends for another album.
Japanese Tour - I understand that they have a contract to follow and that they don't want to disappoint all the J-VIPs who have always supported them. I wish them all the best for these series of concerts.
To all VIPs, thanks for sharing pictures, links and videos!
Big Bang will be very busy this week with music shows, radio guestings and concerts. Stay strong and be healthy! FIGHTING!!!

Big Bang's new mini album contains music, fashion and style [NEWS]
The idol group, Big Bang, has returned after 2 years and 3 months and have revealed new songs where the quality of the songs are higher than what we expected and we mean every word. Actually, after the album was revealed, positive feedback by the fans were left on various online community boards.
Big Bang has returned to the music industry on the 24th with a 4th mini album. They have past the stage of idol and have become an icon where their new songs would become international songs and at the same time include Big Bang’s personality and capture the hearts of listeners with these two ideas.
They still have a bit of the style that could be seen when they were promoting “Lies” but instead of repeating it, they included emotional lyrics and melody that doesn’t irritate the listener’s ears.
The title song of their mini album is “Tonight” and once you hear it for the first time, you’ll know it’s their song because of Big Bang’s music style and it includes Big Bang’s personality but it’s a song that has a change from their past songs. The song makes the listeners feel comfortable and relaxes the atmosphere with Big Bang’s special electronica rhythm and emotional melodies.
The part where Taeyang sings, “I will find you oh eh oh I will find her under the moonlight that’s shining down on me oh eh oh oh oh although I don’t where the end is. Tonight tonight tonight tonight I still don’t know what love is and I’m still lonely on this night” tickles the ears with the soft and yet comfortable lyrics of the chorus and with Daesung’s clean and appealing voice and with Seungri’s vocal skills that’s good at delivering the feeling, it makes the listeners relax.
Almost as if the ballad and dance was mixed into one body, it has a strange mix where it gives the heart a warm and comfortable feeling and at the same time become a popular song by including electronica sound, acoustic guitar, digital and analogue sounds. The song becomes more fun as it has a sorrowful feeling and then changes to a spirited atmosphere and the sound of the wolf howling is very witty, bringing out the fun in the song even more.
The song, “Intro-Thank You & You” begins with Taeyang’s voice and it delivers each other member’s feelings through their character. “What Is Right” and “Cafe” is mostly played with an acoustic performance instead of an electronic sound making it seem like they’re whispering the songs and at the same time tell the listeners about their feelings, making the song seem more alive and fresh.

i have never ever heard anyone calling Taeyang as the genius of Big Bang. only GD was called by that but he doesn't even like it. all my co-VIPs here have said everything about your concern but i just need to point out that it is really very insulting for us, VIPs and for all the members of Big Bang when you consider them lazy when you clearly have no idea what have they been doing these days. Peace.

Fans outraged over ‘Hot Topic’ selling K-pop music
International K-pop fans have been in an uproar over the alleged ‘unauthorized’ sales of various K-pop albums through the American retail chain, ‘Hot Topic‘.
‘Hot Topic’ is an American clothing chain that specializes in ‘punk rock’, ‘hipster’, and ‘geek chic’ fashion. Though the store’s main focus is on novelty clothing and accessories, they also vend ‘licensed music’ in the form of either CDs or individual downloadable tracks.
Recently, however, the legitimacy of their music department’s practices and products has come under fire, as K-pop fans have discovered that the retail chain is selling music that may not be entirely authentic.
The site boasts albums from ‘SHIN LEE‘ [sic], Big Bang, and 2NE1, just to name a few. From these artists, Hot Topic advertises that they’re selling a ‘2NE1 Acapella’ album, the ‘Big Bang 2010 Big Show’ album, and a ‘SHIN HEE Lucifer Tribute’ album.
Of course, there is no ‘2NE1 Acapella’ album, and Big Bang’s ‘BIG SHOW 2010 BIGBANG LIVE CONCERT’ doesn’t have that cover. The ‘Label’ information for both the 2NE1 and Big Bang albums also point out a glaring disparity, since the label has been listed as ‘2NE1′ and ‘Robert Blackwell’, instead of ‘YG Entertainment‘.
Hot Topic also has K-Pop compilation albums available for purchase, which features mixes from ‘Baek Ji Young‘ (pictured as Lee Hyori), ‘SHIN HEE’ (pictured as TVXQ), and ‘Rainbow‘ (pictured as ‘SNSD‘).
What’s interesting to note here is that the ‘Label’ information is incorrect once again, and on top of it all, the covers used for these albums appear to be fan-made wallpapers, which were then matched inaccurately.
Due to such striking errors, international K-pop fans have become concerned about the overall legitimacy of these items. Did they pay for the rights to the music, and if so, how much of those proceeds did the K-pop artists and their agencies receive from the sales?
allkpop has contacted the administrators of Hot Topic’s official website, and we plan on following up on this recent development.

Big Bang's Taeyang makes a splash in Hollywood
Famous K-Pop artist Taeyang of the group Big Bang recently arrived in Los Angeles to hone in on his dancing craft by taking various dance classes. Before focusing on the classes, Taeyang was given a bit of the Hollywood treatment by dining out with Shaun Evaristo, Aimee Lucas and the Movement Lifestyle family at the famous Nobu Restaurant on Saturday.
Last night, Yang was able to take in a little of the Hollywood nightclub scene as promoter TK Nguyen personally escorted Taeyang to Drai's Hollywood at the W Hotel. For one of the hottest music artist in Asia, this was a great start for Taeyang to learn from the best as he shared the dance floor with celebrity hip hop dancers from the web series "The LXD" and Lindsey Blaufarb of the female b-girl group The Beat Freaks.
Taeyang stood on the sidelines of the cypher (dance circle) for a moment observing the flips, tricks and moves that one would see at the best b-boy competition in the world before joining in.
Taeyang is definitely on a good start with his drive to polish his moves learning from the best dancers and choreographers in Hollywood.

Here's the translations:
“Hi! This is Taeyang. The concert DVD, from my first album “Solar” will be released on January 26, 2011. I want to share the emotions, laughter, and tears from then with you again. I’ll meet you through the DVD. Thank you. Peace!”Thanks Piglet for the translation!

Finally!!! Maknae is looking so hot with that teaser picture! I'm super excited for his album. I didn't know he would be so hands on in this album by composing almost all the songs. Good job maknae!!! i can't wait to hear your wonderful songs. the song with IU is so unexpected but i'm very excited to hear it. even though once again YG moved the release date, i'm still happy with his two title songs plus 2 mvs(?) and the tracklist.
i really love the styling and color of his hair in his teaser picture! looking so gorgeous as ever!
thanks for sharing!

So, is it confirmed that he's in L.A. or is it based on assumption? If he is indeed in L.A., I will def. take a trip there and hunt him down. ^^
it's confirmed that he's in the US, not sure exactly where.
here are some airport fantaken pictures... (shinhdeplol also posted them at BB's Thread)
