[THE OFFICIAL] Taeyang 태양 Thread

[Guest toozdae08]

I want to know what Jihye unni said, I adore her and think she's gorgeous

My views on IU with YB, I had posted this on ibb.

While I personally would have preferred Boni (cause she’s amazing), she isn’t as well known as IU. Seo In Young would have been awesome but she sings more ballads than R&B, IU has the voice for R&B too. I’ve heard her covers of BB and her cover of INAG, and she has the ability to make it hers. It’s not her fault that her company has her singing bubblegum pop when she could be singing R&B. If they had to pick a fangirl, she would be the best choice. Girl is talented, very talented but so happen to be in love with YB. While I don’t ship this (mostly cause of the age difference, 5 years O_O), I would have loved a duet between those two ever since I heard her INAG cover.

[Guest melo.breeze]

ha, yeh, INAG remix ftw !! i think she's a perfect fit to be a guest, before her company had her doing bubble gum pop she was heavily rnb/ballad based, but knowing the state of kpop, her company probably decided to rework her overall image(her tamia and sixpense none the richer covers were insane). but something tells me INAG remix isn't going to be the case here anyways, i just can't see her doing the entire choreo ... LOL ! (unless they're going to do some sorta sit on a stool looking at each other lovingly whilst singing sorta thing) she'll probably be like an opening act or something if you ask me, but a collab would be so awesome. as for age, eh, don't mind the 5 year gap, when they get older the gap would hardly even seem like it's there. i.e. a 30y.o. going out with a 25y.o. sounds a lot more natural than a 23y.o. going out with an 18y.o. the latter isn't even bad either.

boni would have totally been awesome, but i myself am not too familiar with her(if it wasn't for her covering taeyang, i'd doubt i would even know her), so i don't think it would have gathered as much attention anyway.

YB's so busy this week. I hope next week he will have a time to rest and prepare for his concert.

Honestly, can one man be any more adorable? NO!!!

Even with his glasses on I can still imagine his eye smile. YB is <3

Hope he has time to rest considering BB is also doing that drama thing and that tourism thing and I hope he can at least make a cameo. Baby is working hard.
