Through YG entertainment's special hip hop project, Big Bang's G-Dragon and Taeyang formed a new sub unit GD X TAEYANG and released a single “Good Boy” in 2014. GD took part in writing the song as always, while the song has gained great popularity at home and abroad. After releasing the single, GD X TAEYANG gave an interview to various Korean media outlets and talked about their new album, friendship, and BIGBANG.
The two friends GD and Taeyang were both born in 1988, and 14 years ago, they joined YG entertainment as trainees. And they’ve went through rigorous training together for 6 years to make a debut as members of BIGBANG. So, of course, they’ve been good friends both in joy and in sorrow for a long time and know each other better than anyone. About GD, Taeyang said as follows.
"Actually, there are many differences between us. He has something I do not have, and I have something he does not have. For example, we have totally different home surroundings. I have a brother but GD has his sister. But I think that’s why we could learn a lot from each other. Now? We are closer than real brothers. We can tell what we're thinking just by looking into each other's eyes. And fans who watched GD closely may know. He is a man of kind character. Sometimes I'm worried about him because he is too kind."
And GD said about his best friend, “Real brothers sometimes fight. But we don't fight. We are better than real brothers. Taeyang is really stubborn, which sometimes frustrates people around him. However, when he pushes forward by acting according to his belief, we always meet with good results. I think that kind of personality made him who he is. He is simple and honest. I want to be with him at the last moment of my life."
As soon as releasing “Good Boy,” GD X TAEYANG topped 8 different Korean online music charts including Melon, Olleh, Mnet, Bugs, Cyworld, Soribada, Naver, and Daum. The song also topped iTunes charts of Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, while the music video has had more than 5 million hits on YouTube just 4 days after being released.
About this, G-Dragon stated, "We released a new song after a long hiatus, and it's so happy that so many fans like the song. Personally, I feel something lacking because I couldn't show the stage performance for the song yet due to busy schedules. Actually, we’ve worked on the music without any burdens because it is a single, and we just enjoyed it. And frankly speaking, I can’t say that “Good Boy” is a song with a popular appeal. If it was BIGBANG’s song, I might have tried to write a song with a mass appeal, but this time, I just wanted to do what I want to do.”
And Taeyang added, "I never expected that we will film the music video of the song because we've worked on the music very lightly. I think we were lucky. Actually, we’ve been hard at work on BIGBANG’s upcoming new album, and “Good Boy” was just one of many songs we were working on.”
At the interview, GD was asked to comment about rumors of his romance with Japanese model Mizuhara Kiko. However, he refused it, smiling, "Couldn't we just talk about music? Sorry, for now, I have nothing to tell you about it." Instead, he stated, "I'm greatly influenced by love, people, and environment. I draw my inspiration from my experiences."
At the time of interview, BIGBANG’s latest album was “Still Alive” that was released in June 2012. So, it has been a long time since the group released its album, and many fans were looking forward to BIGBANG's brand new album. About this, GD said sorry to his fans, stating, "Another year is almost gone already, and I think we have to delay the album release."
As the main producer of BIGBANG’s album, GD was hard at work on the group's upcoming album, but he said the members were too busy to concentrate on preparing for the album.
He said "These days, I can't see TOP often because he is too busy managing a series of tight schedules as an actor. And Daesung has been on his solo concert tour in Japan, while Seungri is busy too. Taeyang and I are the only two who usually work in our recording studio," while Taeyang added, "I think some of the members may listen to “Good boy” at BIGBANG’s upcoming concert for the first time because they are too busy."
And here are GD’s more comments about BIGBANG’s new album. He promised that he will release the album as soon as possible, and you know, in 2015, BIGBANG’s “MADE” series was finally released and it became a sensation in the k-pop world.
"Actually, I’m getting older and I can't write new songs as fast as I used to. I want to release BIGBANG’s new album as soon as possible, but I think I'm unprepared for it yet. Please wait a bit longer, and we'll repay you for waiting for us for such a long time. I know the album is very important for us, and that’s why I’m aiming for perfection.”
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance." MR(Music Recorded) Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t j
YG Entertainment's new boy group Winner. After going through rigorous training programs, they are about to make debut as professional singers. As you may already know, k-pop idols should go through their training period before making a debut. K-pop agencies train the trainees in their own systematic ways, and trainees need to hang in there if they want to become stars. SM Entertainment, home to famous k-pop stars such as TVXQ, Super Junior, BoA and EXO, is regarded as the k-pop agency which formulated the training system for the first time, while Korean music industry has been producing many competitive singers through the meticulous training system. So, let's talk about k-pop idol's trainee life. Super Junior's Eunhyuk and Donghae had been trained hard as SM Entertainment's trainees. Kpop Trainee's Daily Schedule Countless trainees have to go through rigorous training program. From morning till night, trainees take a variety of lessons. Vocal and
Have you watched “We Got Married”? As you know, the program is about male and female stars who entered their imaginary married life. Well, some of you may wonder if the couple's love for each other is real. Let's talk about the truth about “We Got Married.” Is WGM Scripted? Before filming the program, the production crew delivers scripts to the cast. However, the scripts of “We Got Married” are totally different from those of dramas or movies. The scripts of “We Got Married” do not have any detailed words. They just include general explanation of situation. For example, “It’s the day you move into your new apartment,” “It’s the day you introduce your wife to your friends,” etc. On the basis of the scripts, the cast prepares for clothes, accessories and more. And during filming the program, the production crew occasionally intervenes in the couple’s dating because the young cast who is unused to a real variety show such as SHINee's Taemin and APink's Naeun needs

Goo Hara, a female k-pop star who has achieved tremendous things as a member of popular girl group Kara, is having a hard time. You know, she is currently being investigated for an assault case, and it seems both Goo Hara and her ex-boyfriend Choi Jong Bum, a handsome hair designer who is known as "Yoo Ah-in of Cheongdam-dong", are responsible for causing bodily harm to each other. Goo Hara got bruises all over her body, while the hair designer had scars on her face. But what's even more shocking is that the ex-boyfriend threatened to leak a sex tape with the k-pop idol in it. He threatened to upload footage of their intimate moments on the web as revenge porn following their 30-minute fight. Even though his lawyer stated that there were no such threats made and that filming the sex tape was Goo Hara’s idea to begin with, the statement doesn't sound so reliable because the ex-boyfriend had contacted Dispatch and suggested that he has information worthy of
