Finally a clear video of the controversial Ma Girl performance of Taeyang in his Hot concert last year. For the longest time this cannot be seen in you tube as the DVD of the concert has just started sales in the market. Only fancams were available.
Still the hottest among Big Bang in my opinion hahaha. Credits to cizzlewentzzz for the video in You Tube.
After the hit CF single Lollipop by the YG girl group 2NE1, they are finally going out with their first mini-album with carrier single Fire. They created two versions of official MV the street version which looks like truly a girl Big Bang:
and the space version which is a bit sexier than the first which reminds me of the DISCO MV set up of Uhm Jung-ah, their nuna in YG:
I am not a fan of girl bands in Korea because they are exaggerated in their cuteness to some extent but 2NE1 makes a difference. They do look crazy like Big Bang but at least they don’t have the crap songs like the other girl groups out there.
They resemble their Big Bang counterpart except that they are just 4. CL their leader looks more of Taeyang to me than GD though her fashion sense seems to take on GD. Sandara Park looks like Top minus the deep voice of the rapper. Minji to me looks like GD but she is more associated with Seungri since she is the dongsaeng (youngest) of the group. Bom I guess is Taeyang as well with the voice and sexiness.
They will soon perform live at the SBS Inkigayo on May 17. Got to watch out for that.

Taeyang and Seungri are the two Big Bang members that I get to write on this blog. First it was Taeyang who made me like Big Bang after watching that YG Christmas performance 2 years ago in SBS. Seungri on the other hand amazed me with his piano cum song number in their Great Live Concert.
Although I am biased with liking Taeyang more than Seungri… I will always love them as the ever charming and talented member of Big Bang. I always enjoy their performances and a week ago I got to watch this MBC dance battle of these two fascinating members of the band. (Thanks to Babybongaholic for the video)
It was Mastercard… priceless in short. Getting to see these two hot dancers was just too much to handle. They wore each others signature style in their solo album promotion, Seungri wearing suit which he has always did when performing Strong Baby and Taeyang in his R&B look that he also sported in the MV of 나만 바라봐 (the hat never leaves his head hehehe).
Honestly I don’t know both songs I can’t be biased by saying who did pick a better song. Overall I think Taeyang owns the stage than Seungri that day. While the station I guess became a bit prudent in showing a 50/50 scoring, I think it’s really Taeyang who danced better. I love the dorky Seungri and he got some grooves on his body but Taeyang just moves smoothly without that extra ‘clumsiness’. He moves with precision and grace. I don’t know if it’s just me but I think there is something awkward with Seungri when he dance… well it’s not off but it has something to do with that precision in movement (timing). But it’s good that he is slowly showing the man in him by being a bit mature in his performances.
To me, Seungri’s performance was like showing he is no longer a boy just like his Strong Baby performances. Taeyang on the other hand just leaves that consistency…too hot for everyone. I saw those controversial dance moves once more when he performed My Girl in his 1st Solo Concert. Aigoo… Yoona at 2:30 was amazed to see Taeyang in that thrust down dance move.
It was great of MBC to do something like this. I know this is a speacial show in celebration of the Lunar New Year. I just love face off performances…artists always give their best in such production number. Congratulations to Taeyang and Seungri it was a number worth watching. 박스! 박스! Hmm I wish to see someone face off with Top on rapping…guy is the best on his league (including the looks).
Big Bang has just released their 2nd Global Warning DVD along with Taeyang’s Hot Concert and guess what? They made another ultra funny parody of another all time favorite drama based on manga — Hana Yori Dango.
This time its Daesung who gets to be the girl. Good thing Daesung is a boy – a cute boy because if he was a girl oh my He got Top’s kiss this time, previously it was Top and Jiyong.
I was never wrong is making Top as my personal choice to play the role of Domyuji (Dao Ming Sz in Taiwan version). He perfectly fits the role and those eyes can cut. Taeyang and Seungri are just right to be Akira and Soujiro but with GD hmmm i think he looks too bubbly to be Rui.
I almost hurt my stomach laughing so hard on this parody. Daesung looks like a freak teen girl in a uniform looking at his leg muscles. Big Bang never fails to entertain me. I got to get hold of that DVD surely worth the 원.
Last night Korea’s MBC aired their 2008 Gayo Daejeon. No less than Taeyang was one of the performers and I must say one of the best performers. What a way to wrap up 2008 singing his 3 hits songs 기도 (Kido – Prayer), My Girl and 나만 바라봐 (Naman Parabwa – Look Only at Me)
Taeyang showcased his great dancing skills. I always think he is the best dancer in Big bang even with the best of his contemporaries. Movement is so smooth and detailed. Although the sounds during the MBC Gayo Daejeon seems to be a little weird, Taeyang pulled it through. It is difficult to sing while executing complex moves.
Prior to this, he also did well in the Piano Battle with DBSK’s Junsu. The thread over who won the battle is one of the longest. Well I am just one of those who thinks Taeyang did win the battle may it be just the Piano battle or overall. I have always liked Taeyang but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate if there are better performer than him.
So why do i think he won?
Taeyang played his piece well and sang Don’t Wanna Try well
Junsu vocals was good, singing You’re My Everything of 98 Degrees almost perfect except for the poor pronunciation of words. Taeyang wasn’t perfect too in his pronunciation but he was understandable compared to Junsu
Junsu concentrated on the singing, the piano was borderline good going bad. It was almost staccato.
So if it was purely a piano battle Taeyang wins. Overall i also think Taeyang wins because he made a good rendition of the song while playing the Piano. A lot of people say Junsu’s voice better that Taeyang, this is true in terms of hitting the high notes of the song but if it was a competition on singing Junsu will surely be rated low due to his bad pronunciation. Clearly Junsu’s choice of song is better for a singing competition. The songs were of different genre so its really hard to compare.
Nevertheless 2008 is Taeyang’s year. He made a mark and carved his name as a solo performer. I am actually looking forward his 2nd album this 2009. 태양 파이팅!
It was a pleasant surprise to meet every member of Big Bang last night. For once I was able to hug Taeyang and feel those muscles *giggling*. I never thought of meeting them face to face. I was so surprised to see Daesung followed by Seungri, Taeyang GD and Top. Daesung was so friendly and even shook my hands. Despite having all of them present at that point in time, I still had the courage to say that it’s really Taeyang that I like the most. Noona was just too happy to recieve a warm hug from Taeyang.
Big Bang hit it big last MNET Music Awards
I had to go inside for a while and when I went back, GD and Taeyang were no longer there. I wish to talk to Taeyang still but all these things just happened in my dream. Holy Moly! I must be thingking of Big Bang that much that my subconscious mind thinks of them. That’s what you get when you listen to their song over and over again
The 3 young men of Big Bang performed on special stage for MNET MKMF 2008 along with Korean Pop Diva, Hyori. The performance got the fans screaming to death as Big Bang’s Taeyang, GDragon and TOP take turns in performing side by side with Hyori.
Taeyang opens it up with Naman Parabwa (나만 바라봐), i missed him performing this song so it’s a bit refreshing to see him on stage. As expected Taeyang’s dancing skill while singing is just too awesome. The same song that is GD’s version came next. GD is really grown up now… young man indeed. What surprised me most is TOP. He looks so naughty and that quick kiss to Hyori just put an endless scream until the end of the number. Is it just me? Did i see Hyori gave out a smile after the kiss? and why is Top hiding that smile on his face like as if he had won something big?
I bet there will be threads on whose lucky Hyori or TOP? I am waiting for ridiculous exchanges about this hot performance. Hyori at 30 playing sexy with these young men in their very early 20s, girl must be lucky…ooops I am no Hyori hater.
I am not sure if i would be happy of Big Bang’s return. I have mixed emotions. Why? Because this will give Wheesung less chance of hitting number 1 on charts. I love them both. I love Wheesung truly but I also love Big Bang. They cannot be compared because they have different music but God knows how infectious Big Bang is. I saw the Sunset Glow MV few days ago and I was totally enjoying it. These bunch of young adults always give their fans a pleasant surprise with their style and performances.
I love it how they dance and perform their very own music (and even other’s music too). Just like the above Music Core number– I couldn’t help but smile on their cuteness and hotness (can you imagine combining these two factors?). I bet this will sky rocket to the top on charts in a few days time. Top and Taeyang for me spells hotness in this performance while GD, Seungri and Daesung are ultimate cuties.
They performed Remember in suit and whoa~ they are really young adults exuding hotness then suddenly turning into bubbly boys next door in Sunset. No wonder VIPs are getting nuts (and I am a VIP) about them switching gears that way.
Let’s see how this song will match the recently launched ‘Wrong Number’ from DBSK. Seriously, DBSK is talented but I just don’t know why they don’t appeal to my senses. I can stand listening to their song but never been addicted to it just as how addicted I am to Big Bang’s. I would even exchange watching Taeyang alone for the 5 of DBSK performing. Nothing against DBSK really… I am not cross-eyed but they oh do not register in my brain’s RAM.
I am anticipating yet another ‘big’ Big Bang success. You guys are not a bit merciful to 휘성 형! Coming back like that i just have to enjoy your new music. 빅뱅 축하해요!

Big Bang is very busy nowadays after the successful launch of their ‘Stand Up’ mini album. They are currently promoting their Japanese album with carrier single Number 1. With all these activities, Taeyang is in the limelight not as solo artist but as a Big Bang member.
I saw these pictures from YGWorld wordpress and I’d like to give them credits (specially the VIP who shared this picture Choco) for posting candid shots of Big Bang members on their site. I am specifically mesmerized by Taeyang’s cuteness
Taeyang is sexy with his lips this way... he does that when he sings too!
Who will not love Taeyang nowadays, despite his height bashing at 5′7″ he is still very lovable…exuding with cuteness specially on this pic:
Cute isn'nt it?
Even if he can’t open his eyes any wider… it would be special to have those pair of cute eyes stare at you.
I miss Taeyang and his music!
For a moment I miss Taeyang and his music, suddenly I want to see him comeback as solo artist.
It’s been 3 weeks since Big Bang released their 3rd mini album entitled Stand-up The boys shed off their cute pop image in their MVs in exchange with a more mature one and edgy style. Honestly, I didn’t feel like listening to the songs over and over compared to their previous song but when I saw them perform in their comeback… i just have to give credits to these guys who worked hard to give their fans a something fresh.
하루 하루 (Haru Haru or Day by Day) is their carrier single. The beat is not something new and their style of singing is very Big Bang but what got my attention is the live performance of Stand-up. I love the beat and tempo, very catchy for an intro song. I am glad they have this as opening piece when they performed. After watching their live performances, I begin to get used to 하루 하루 it wasn’t bad but it’s not really far from their previous songs. I heard they are number 1 now for 2 consecutive weeks from the time they launched their album. 빅뱅 축하해요!
Big Bang in Marc Jacobs (from left Top, Taeyang and GD)
With their more of a ‘rock image’ I am still surprised how they can always pull neat looks and style, just like when they participated in Marc Jacobs new collection show. Three of the ‘Big’ guys from Big Bang came in style. Taeyang definitely looks cool with that outfit.
