[news] Daesung’s Naver Music interview [trans] 180212
Interviewer: How have you been?
Daesung: We had received the award ‘World Wide Act’ on EMA last year. It was a first that an Asian got a prize on EMA. We saw that award ceremony when we were still just a trainee. So it felt like a dream. I had YG Family Concerts in Korea and Japan with YG Family. These days, I’m doing my best for this album, ALIVE.
Interviewer: What is BIGBANG to you?
Daesung: BIGBANG is my family. We are so close to each other. We have so many good things. When we have problem, I want to say sorry to them. When we are happy, I want to say thank you to them. We are five but I feel that we are also one.
Interviewer: Tell me about ALIVE’s meaning.
Daesung: We are not really old but we have been BIGBANG for 6 years now. We have already shown various performances. People got accustomed to our music. So we want to show them, our talent, musical trial and passion are still ALIVE. Not dead.
Interviewer: Someone says that it’s too early to come out. How do you think about it?
Daesung: I was so worried about that. I told Yang Hyunsuk, who is my boss, about my worries a lot. I gave a lot of thought about that matter. BIGBANG is a singer. We always tell them everything we want to express through our music. People express their feelings through crying or anger. We express it through music. Of course we need to have time for self-restraint and self-reflection but that period is not permanent. I want to share them about my emotion but care/worry sits heavily on me. I know it’s early to come out but it’s also right tim. I know that everyone can’t agree on the same thing. We have a burden that we have to share. We want to share our good music to them.
Interviewer: Tell me about BLUE.
Daesung: ‘Sky Blue’ gives us good feelings but our’BLUE’, it is more like dark blue. It symbolizes longing, sorrow, pain and so on. We miss someone who’s already gone in this song. First lyrics are “Winter is gone, spring is come…” I think that Blue’s lyrics are really good. I felt that the same when I sang this song. Blue have two sensation; Hope and loneliness. Its melody is really lyrical and sad. I think it is also the right song to come out this time.

[news] G-dragon interview on Naver 120217
Interviewer: It has been a long time. How have you been?
GD: I’ve been fine. I spent my time with my family. Prepared for this album and spent some time thinking this and that.
I: What is your thought about singers? I wonder, what do you think about your figure?
GD: Well, when I was a young boy, I thought singers are cool. That’s why I wanted to be a singer in my early years. I think Bigbang is cool. Not being on the stage, but also in real life. I don’t mean that they are handsome and tall. I mean they got swag. There are so many things that I have to learn as a friend, a young brother, and an older brother. It makes me a burden because I’m a leader but it also makes me try to push myself.
I: What is your biggest stress/pressure?
GD: Preparing for the next album. It is one of biggest pressure to me because the next album is more important than the last one. When I had to prepare for the last album, ‘TONIGHT’, I thought “This is the most important album!” When I prepared for this album, I thought “This album is the most important one!” Maybe I will think again the same when I prepare for a new album. It is also one of my pleasant worries. I was pulsating. Well, I don’t know. Last year, ‘TONIGHT’ was my favorite album. And now it’s ‘BLUE’. My taste in music changes continuously and I share it to people. I wonder what they will say to me after they listen to it and what part they like the most. I’m going well.
I: Bigbang sings mainly about LOVE.
GD: I think many Korean think about love a lot and they want comfort. When you hear music, you think that “Oh this lyrics is what I have in mind.” or when you are sad, you hear the music and cry. That’s why music is powerful.
I: Tell me about BLUE.
GD: BLUE… Many people think that idol group just have younger fans. But I think more twenties and thirties age group will really like this song. They will sing more and sympathize with this song more than teenagers will.
I: Do you have assurance in this album?
GD: Uh…. Yes. I’m always confident with it. Not boasting. When we hear our music, we said “That’s it!” haha. Because it is ours. I pour out my soul and try to be frank. And… it is for the season.
[news] Bigbang to prome all tracks of 5th mini album “Alive”
Two days before, YG had revealed through its official blog that Blue and Bad Boy would be promoted as double titles. The day after, however, it added the title track markings to Love Dust and Fantastic Baby, and finally on February 17 it added No Fun and Wing to the title track list, making all of the songs, excluding the intro, title songs for the album.
The words ‘double title songs’ have often been used to mean that two songs would be promoted as the main single cuts from an album, but announcing that all of the tracks from a single album will be promoted as ‘title’ songs is a rare feat not only in Korea, but also overseas.
The new challenge is adding to the weight on Big Bang’s shoulders for its comeback, heightening anticipation for what type of new music and styles it will showcase.
Many idol groups disband or retire when they reach their fifth year. Big Bang also met its biggest crisis in 2011, its 5th year, as it endured many big incidents.
A rep from YG said, “After the incidents, the Big Bang members have been regretting their actions and have concentrated only on their music in the studio. Thanks to that, they were able to come up with satisfactory results, so satisfactory that all of the songs from the album were deemed title songs.”
Big Bang recently filmed the music video for Blue and Bad Boy in New York. Although the shoot was kept strictly under wraps, local paparazzi swarmed to capture the members on film ever since they stepped foot in the airport, surprising even the local bodyguards.
Because there are no legal measures that can be taken against paparazzis, news of Big Bang’s music video shoot made it into overseas internet websites, proving that Korea wasn’t the only country that was interested in Big Bang’s upcoming album.
Big Bang’s mini album will be released on February 29, and the single Blue will be released beforehand on February 22.
A preview of Blue will be provided on February 17 through a 30 second preview on Naver Music and also through the TV commercials that will show how the Big Bang members feel about their comeback.
Big Bang plans to start off its promotion in Seoul with its Seoul concert from March 2-4, and will continue to meet fans around the world with its world tour, Big Bang Alive Tour 2012.
[News] Why fans are excited for Bigbang’s Comeback ??
At the end of February, another popular idol group, Big Bang will make a come back to the music scene.
Big Bang will release their fifth mini album with a total of 7 songs on the 29th and it will officially mark their comeback. As one of the most popular idol groups at the moment, the comeback of Big Bang is extraordinarily meaningful to their fans.
Ever since their debut in 2006, Big Bang has enjoyed great fame in Korea and abroad but last year, some members had faced controversial issues which brought crisis to their team. While the members were facing this crisis, others had devoted themselves to making music. The songs which they composed during this period of time will also be included in the new mini album after careful selection.
Therefore, the expectation that this new album will rewrite the record of their first album is raised. There are various reasons that Big Bang can really meet the high expectation of the public.
The large-scaled comeback of Big Bang has brought excitement to their fans.
YGE has announced that a total of 13 different versions of TV commercials featuring Big Bang will be released. Everyday until the the 5th mini album drops, a new commercial will be revealed. The production cost is said to be the largest in the domestic music industry.
After releasing their new album, they will hold their concerts at Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium from 2nd thru the 4th and then they will start their world tour.
They will hold the world tour (BIGBANG ALIVE TOUR 2012) in 25 cities in 16 countries this year. It will be their first world tour.
Big Bang’s large-scale promotion in Korea and in overseas countries are expected to satiate the thirst of their fans.
