120714 Seung-chan's Diary: House Moving Party

I moved to the apartment! It's so nice.. I've seriously been living in the hotel until now so I was very happy when I moved to the apartment T_T

Well then, I’m going to start introducing Seung-chan’s family members. First, we have these 2!!!

The dalmatian couple! Well, I don’t really know if these 2 kids are dating or not but don’t they have a really good relationship with each other? I had that thought so I bought them, isn’t that cute? They were only these 2 doggies left in the interior design store so if I only bought one and not the other, the one that was left behind would feel lonely…and so I bought them as a couple! Moving on, it’s this one!


I brought this kid from Korea, and I went through a lot of trouble because of him. Everyone at the airport was shocked because they all thought it was real hahahaha. I also took this kid on the airplane. His muscles are so well-defined, very cool! And then, let’s take a look at this side!

I have a little animal zoo next to my bed! When I’m sound asleep, these different types of animals will protect me! ^^ I don’t feel lonely because I have these kids here with me! ^^ Okay, good night everyone (^-^)/

{NEWS} YG sees stars with Conglomerates ::

The announcement two weeks ago of YG Entertainment collaborating with Cheil Industries on a fashion joint venture created a buzz.

It was an unprecedented tie-up between one of the major arms of Samsung Group and Korea’s second-largest entertainment agency. Analysts were quick to point out that Lee Seo-hyun, second daughter of Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee, leads the luxury goods and fashion division of the affiliate.

That day, YG’s share price jumped 5.1 percent.

YG and Cheil will establish a joint venture to roll out a fashion brand next year that targets the global market, said the press release from both companies on June 29. They have yet to decide on further details such as the size of the joint venture, brand name or concept.

“Fashion and music are inseparable,” said a spokesman for Cheil Industries. “Singers are supposed to be fashionable and some fashion brands originate from musical genres such as hip-hop. We have been in a close business relationship thus far with YG, using its artists such as T.O.P. and G-Dragon from the boy band Big Bang as models for some of our brands. Although we could have chosen SM Entertainment and JYP [for the joint venture], we opted for YG because we highly appreciate its creative power.”

The spokesman stressed that the partnership won’t take advantage of the popularity of YG artists.

“It’s a deal to merge our strength in fashion and YG’s leadership in youth culture,” he said.

“Samsung seems convinced of YG’s competence as a creative content provider,” said Jin Hong-goock, an analyst with Hyundai Securities. “For YG, there is nothing to lose from a business tie-up with Cheil - whether it gets involved in the design or its artists model the goods. If the clothes from the joint venture sell well, the profits will go to YG, and even if they don’t, YG won’t need to pay for the loss.”

Last Friday, YG went so far as to announce a sponsorship from global tech giant Samsung Electronics. BigBang is having a year-long global concert tour of 25 cities from Asia to the Americas and Europe under the “Bigbang Alive Galaxy Tour 2012” title.

This is the first time a tour of a K-pop singer or band will include the name of a product from Samsung. The product is Galaxy, the flagship brand of Samsung’s smart mobile products, including smartphones and tablet PCs that account for more than 70 percent of Samsung Electronic’s profit.

An industry source who spoke under the condition of anonymity said YG probably received several billion won from Samsung.

“We think the sponsorship was an opportunity for both Galaxy and BigBang to effectively promote the brands,” said a Samsung spokesman. “That the event combines smartphones and music, the key elements of life for the younger generation around the world, makes a crucial point.”

YG was established in 1996 by Yang Hyun-suk, one of three members of the popular 1990s trio, Seo Taiji & Boys. With hip hop as its musical identity, the Mapo, western Seoul-based agency has produced and managed dozens of entertainers including musicians such as Big Bang, 2NE1, Se7en and Psy, and actresses like Kang Hye-jung, the tortured heroine in Park Chan-wook’s 2003 incest-themed film “Old Boy.”

Thanks to its internal culture, which is reputed to appreciate the free spirit and personality of their artists more than its rival firms, YG’s entertainers aren’t caught in the typical K-pop mold of being sexy or cute. They have emerged as icons of unique and trendy styles.

“YG has been getting obvious attention in overseas markets including Japan on the back of its strong lineup of competent artists,” said Chung Woo-chul, an analyst with Mirae Asset Securities.

For instance, 2NE1, the four-member girl group, has been receiving stage outfit support from U.S. fashion designer Jeremy Scott, while will.i.am of American band the Black Eyed Peas has served as their musical patron, producing and composing some of their works.

An entertainment agency going corporate as such is rare in this country. Most of the profitable businesses of entertainment companies, aside from their talent, is in fields like restaurants and cafe franchises.

JYP, with girl groups such as Wonder Girls and Miss A, has been running a Korean restaurant in Manhattan since March. SM Entertainment in April formed a joint restaurant venture, SM Kraze, with burger chain Kraze International. Formerly known as sidus HQ, iHQ, which manages actress Han Ye-seul and actor Jo In-sung, established a strategic partnership with cafe chain Caffe Bene in 2008, contributing to its massive expansion across the country.

YG is outspoken about its open-mindedness about business opportunities. “We are pretty much open to every industrial field for synergy and we always pursue something new,” said a spokeswoman for YG.

With nearly 200 employees, a four-fold increase from the end of 2009, the firm listed on the Kosdaq in November last year. Yang is the top shareholder with a 36 percent stake in the firm, which has a market capitalization of 491.2 billion won ($427 million). Its share price has surged 40 percent in the past eight months to close at 47,600 won last Friday.

With YG’s entry into the Kosdaq, all of Korea’s top three agencies are now listed on the secondary stock market, increasingly luring investors’ attention to the so-called entertainment category and giving birth to analysts specializing in that field.

SM Entertainment, the nation’s largest, manages Girls’ Generation, Super Junior and F(x). Listed in 2000, it became the first company in the industry to be listed on the market. It ranks seventh on the Kosdaq in terms of market cap at 1.04 trillion won. No. 3 player JYP has a market cap of 106.5 billion won and was listed on the Kosdaq in late 2010. YG also opened a store on eBay Korea earlier in June to sell CDs as well as souvenirs including photo books, T-shirts and cell phone accessories representing YG and its artists. Last year the agency launched a joint record label with Avex Group, Japan’s leading entertainment firm, and set up YG Asia, an Asian headquarters in Hong Kong.

A month ago, YG started a joint project with Hyundai Card, Korea’s second-largest credit card issuer, which has gained a reputation as an icon of hipness and creativity due to a series of cultural projects it has brought to Korea in recent years. They include Hyundai Card Super Concert series, which has invited a slew of top-notch musicians ranging from Sting to Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga and Eminem, who is set to perform in Seoul on Aug. 19.

Through a project dubbed “Re-Monster, ” YG aims to discover talented yet obscure musicians. They will submit their own interpretation of Big Bang’s latest single “Monster,” and YG’s key music producers, and will introduce those covers on Hyundai Card’s Music, a Web site for music.

I heard that specky guy (wearing spectacles) is popular in Japan now. I want to be a specky guy too so I'm wearing glasses. How is it? Suits me, right?

Today, while wearing a stylish suit, I went to interview the guest for Sakigake Ongaku Banzuke.

That person is Takei Emi-chan! She's the most loved actress by all men in Japan right now! She's much younger than me, but she surely has an aura I can't describe!

After I interviewed her, I got to know why she's popular. She's lively and her eyes shine^^ She also responded to all of my reckless jokes.

From now on, I support her in becoming an even better actress and I'm really looking forward to that! Emi-chan, I wish you all the best!!

But she.. she said she likes T.O.P.. Am I not good..
It can't be helped, don't have time, I'm sorry. (He's rhyming in Japanese: Shoga nai, Jikan ga nai, Moshi wake nai)

Also, there's this movie, Brave Hearts (Umizaru), that was released just recently. Miura Shouhei suggested it to me. I watched it and it was great!! I think Japanese movies are awesome too.

Everyone is really good at acting and the story is really great! I think Shouhei-kun appeared in a really good movie(^-^)/

Shouhei, good luck! Everyone, if you have time, please go watch Brave Hearts. Sakigake Banzuke show next week!

G-Dragon: Celebrity Style
by Ona Yoon and Sharon Tsang, WGSN, 01 June 2012

K-Pop fashion icon G-Dragon of boy band Big Bang, is starting to make waves internationally - look out for his heavily ripped denim and colorful biker jackets.

Kwon Ji-yong, better known by his stage name G-Dragon, is the leader of South Korea boy band, Big Bang. He is a recording artist, songwriter, producer and model. In recent years, he has become known as much for his look as his music and he is starting to make fashion waves internationally.

Big Bang debuted in 2006 and are known for their hip-pop music and energetic freestyle dancing. Like many pop stars, the band's five members have received plenty of attention based on their individual fashion styling. Unlike other K-Pop groups who adopt a uniform look, the members of Big Bang incorporate their individual styles into a single concept in a group format.

Key terms for the band include hi-top sneakers, brightly colored skinny jeans, leather trousers, bold jewelry and accessories. Big Bang's latest music video, Fantastic Baby, created a surreal feel with expressive styling, the use of hyper colours and dramatic hair and make-up.
