[Guest omgshinshin]

That is some boss background.

I am officially excited for it. I cannot even type with capslock letters. I cannot even keysmash. I am so calm right now it is not funny. I have surpassed the level of excitement possible to squeal. I am beyond that point.

Seungri, wtf.

When it comes to Big Bang, I am pretty coherent. And GDTOP album was all cool with me and whatnot.

But Seungri. Seungri is a different matter.

I need the 20th to come fast.

Seungri asks his fans to help him on his comeback

Fans have been looking forward to Big Bang's Seungri's new album for a while now. Seungri has gained more attention than just for his album, because on the 10th, Seungri wrote, "I'm looking for a promotion slogan on the bus ads for my first mini album VVip. Fans, please work your creativity to give me the best slogan possible" on his me2day.

He promised his fans that he would give the winner a present he prepared himself, and in 30 minutes he had over 4,000 replies. The winner will have his or her me2day screen name along with the slogan on Seungri's comeback bus ad.

Will you be lending him a hand on his comeback?

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.

승리 (SEUNGRI) 1ST MINI ALBUM

2009년 ‘스트롱베이비’로 빅뱅의 막내 이미지를 벗어내고 깜짝 ‘남성미’를 선보였던 승리가 2년 만에 첫 미니앨범에서 한층 발전한 모습으로 돌아온다.

승리는 타이틀 곡인 ‘VVIP’와 ‘어쩌라고’ 뿐만 아니라 총 7개의 수록 곡 중 6곡에 작사, 작곡자로 참여, 예상을 뛰어넘는 음악들로 자신의 첫 미니앨범을 채워냈다.

‘스트롱 베이비’가 빅뱅의 앨범에 실린 승리의 솔로 곡이었다면, 이번 미니앨범은 다른 빅뱅 멤버들은 낼 수 없는 승리만의 음악적 색깔로 가득 채워낸 온전한 승리만의 앨범이라 할 수 있다. 음악프로듀서들 역시 YG엔터테인먼트에서 새롭게 영입한 최필강, Dee.P, CHOICE37 등이 주축이 되어 기존의 YG사운드와는 또 다른 색깔을 띠고 있다.

17살 어린 나이에 데뷔, 어느새 자신이 직접 만든 곡들로 앨범을 채워낼 정도로 성장한 승리의 이번 미니앨범은 앞으로 그가 얼마나 더욱 성장해나갈지 기대를 갖게 하는 동시에, 국내 가요계 아이돌의 개념을 바꿔놓은 빅뱅의 저력이 멤버 개개인들의 무서운 성장 덕분이라는 것을 보여주는 음반이 될 것이다.

한편 빅뱅은 오는 2월 25~27일 총 3일간 올림픽공원 체조경기장에서 2011 빅뱅 콘서트 ‘BIG SHOW’를 개최할 예정이다.

110110 Lee Hyori crowned as the 'Eyeliner Terminator', first place for males taken by Big Bang's T.O.P

Singer Lee Hyori was crowned as being the 'eyeliner terminator'.

The professional make-up brand Cleo has carried out a poll on the topic: 'The male.female stars that match best with eyeliners are?' last December for a month targeting the homepage's 2,888 members.

The results, first place for females was Lee Hyori with an overwhelming support of 74%(2,136 people), first for male stars was taken by Big Bang's T.O.P with the support of 45.6%(1,318 people).

This poll was taken place by Cleo to celebrate the 'waterproof pen liner kill-black sales reaching 300,000'.

In particular, the recent eyeliner is emerging since it has edge to it, it's very stylish and it's a must-have item for females, and it helps males to diffuse their charisma, it is a very popular item and it has also become an essential item for stars.

Following shortly second place was B2ST's Lee Kikwang and model Jang Younjoo with the support of each 26.6%(767 people), 9.6%(277 people).

Also Kang Seungyooun(16.7%, 483 people) and T-ara's Jiyeon(7.2%, 208 people) came third, and for fourth place 2AM's Chokwon(6%, 174 people) and 2NE1's CL(5.4%, 157 people) were selected. Lastly Jay Park(5.1%, 146 people) and Chae Jeongan(3.8%, 110 people) came fifth.

As Lee Hyori who has usually been the beauty wannabe with her trendy make-up styles took first place with the overwhelming support, Netizens said 'The eyeliner-girl who uses different eye make-ups to her full 100%!', 'Obviously! The eyeliner terminator Lee Hyori'.

Also for T.O.P who has been selected as the first place for male stars, he had these responses 'The eyes that maximize the effects of eyeliners', 'the best at eye-charisma!'

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.

그녀는 내 마지막자존심까지 짓밟았다 이젠 전쟁이다 ㅡ 1/13 승리 1st minialbum [VVip] 어쩌라고 티져공개

[Guest intelligirl]

Duet with IU had been planned for 3 years?

need translations

[OSEN=최나영 기자] 그룹 빅뱅의 승리가 오는 20일 솔로 미니앨범을 발표하는 가운데, 가수 아이유와 호흡을 맞춘 듀엣곡이 관심을 끌고 있다.

10일 오전 YG 공식 블로그에 따르면 승리의 미니앨범 'VVIP'는 20일 발매를 확정하고, 13일 '어쩌라고'의 티저 영상을 공개하며 20일 앨범 발표에 맞춰 더블타이틀 뮤직비디오 두 편을 선보인다.

총 7곡이 수록돼 있는 이번 앨범에서 승리가 대부분의 곡 작사 작곡에 참여한 가운데 5번째 트랙 'I Know'는 '대세'라 불리며 큰 인기를 얻고 있는 아이유가 참여해 눈길을 끈다.

아이유는 2AM 임슬옹의 '잔소리', 성시경의 '그대네요' 등의 듀엣곡을 선보이며 음원차트에서 강세를 보였고, 현재 듀엣 제의가 가장 많은 여가수로 손꼽히고 있다.

관 계자는 아이유가 승리가 호흡을 맞추게 된 것에 대해 "아이유가 데뷔 전인 3여년 전 빅뱅 멤버들을 우연히 만나게 됐다. 그 때를 계기로 멤버들과 안면을 익혔고, 당시 승리가 아이유에게 '데뷔하고 나면 나와 꼭 듀엣곡을 부르자'고 말했다"라며 "현재 아이유가 몰려드는 듀엣곡 제의가 상당한데, 그 중에서도 승리와 함께 노래를 부르게 된 것은 그 때의 약속을 지킨 것이라고 할 수 있다"라고 전했다.

아이유는 듀엣곡을 부를 때 특히 고음에서 상대방의 목소리를 따뜻하게 감싸주고, 승리는 본인만의 독특한 미성을 갖고 있는 목소리로 평가받는다. 관계자는 "허스키와 미성의 조화가 아닌 두 미성이 만나 새로운 조화를 이뤄 상큼하고 듣기 좋은 노래가 탄생했다. 둘 다 나이대도 비슷해 편안한 분위기에서 녹음을 마쳤다"라고 말했다.

한 편 승리는 이번 앨범에서 자작곡들을 대거 선보이며 뮤지션으로 한층 도약하고자 하는 각오다. 이미 YG엔터테인먼트의 수장 양현석은 이번 승리의 앨범을 '복병'이라고 표현하며 기대감을 높였다. 'VVIP'와 '어쩌라고' 두 노래를 '더블 타이틀곡'으로 활동할 예정이다.
