On June 8, BIGBANG's G-Dragon released his new solo album "Kwon Jiyong", while it's notable that the album was released as an USB, not as a CD. By the way, the Korea Music Content Industry Association, which is currently running Gaon Chart said it's hard to admit GD's USB album as a music album, stating "It's just a tool to download music". If GD's USB album is not admitted as a music album, the album will be excluded from Gaon's album sales chart, and of course, it will affect rankings of music chart shows such as "Inkigayo" and "Show! Music Core".
About this, GD posted a long piece of writing on his SNS on June 15. He said "What's the problem? You can just judge whether an artist's work is an album or not by the decision made by someone we never know? From tape to CD, and from CD to download file. The appearance of music album has been changing again and again. What's important are melodies and lyrics which console many people and are remembered by many people for a long time".
Well, it's very unusual for the idol star to reveal his thoughts on a sensitive issue, which means he's really mad now.
Why do you think GD is so mad now? Because his album will be excluded from Gaon's album sales chart and it will have a bad effect on his rankings of music chart shows? No, he never cares about it. He's a little bit shy in front of strangers, but he's the one who is full of confidence about his music. And he has put a lot of efforts into his new solo album. Yeah, he cannot tolerate the Korea Music Content Industry Association ignores his album just because it was released as an USB.
Actually, what the Korea Music Content Industry Association was the stupidest idea. Just like GD said, the world we are living in is changing very rapidly. They just can't keep up with the trend. One reason why GD released his new album as an USB is that an USB has larger storage capacity than a CD. GD's USB album can hold 4 GB, while CD albums can usually hold only 700 MB. YG's planning to upload a variety of digital contents including GD's music video and songs which can be downloaded to his USB album.
The funny thing is the Korea Music Content Industry Association changed its position after GD, who is acknowledged to be a no.1 k-pop star posted a long piece of writing on his SNS. The association announced that nothing is confirmed and it will just abide by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's decision.

Have you ever been curious about k-pop idols' microphones? Unless you are a professional, it’s difficult to know the details about the microphones. However, there’s a very simple way to make a guess at what kind of microphone your favorite idol star uses. Well, the way is to classify the microphones by their colors. Colors of microphones do not always mean everything, but like I said, you can at least make a guess at what kind of microphones those are. Flesh-Colored Microphone You might see the flesh-colored microphones frequently in various k-pop chart shows. Those are the basic microphones offered by the broadcasting company. People in the k-pop world usually call it "Band-Aid." The microphone is cheap, and it doesn't perform well. However, it doesn't matter because not a few incompetent idols depend on their AR and just pretend to sing live. Black Microphone The black microphone is not offered by the broadcasting company. If an idol group's...

Big Bang is back with its new songs 'LOSER' and 'BAE BAE'. On May 4, I met the 5 members and interviewed them. As it has been too long since the 5 members all together were interviewed by Korean journalists, it seemed that they had much to say. Let's see what they talked about their music, love, and life. Big Bang's Music Q. You guys said you will release new singles on the first day of every month. It sounds like an uncommon project. Taeyang: Just a month before, we worked really hard to decide if we will release singles or a full album. Actually, we have highly satisfactory new songs and we wanted to release a full album which contains all of them. However, we also wanted to film music videos for all of the songs and that’s why we decided to release singles every month. Q. What kind of songs will you release from next month? Drop me a hint. Taeyang: What I want to say is that all of the songs are different. We will show you something very different e...
1988–2009: Early life and debut G-Dragon began his career at age five as part of the group Little Roo Ra. After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, which came as a shock to G-Dragon. After then, he was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years, specializing in dance before he left, unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, G-Dragon was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Flex in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old. Although he wrote his own lyrics, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics was just another typical "I'm young, but I'm the best." Additionall...
