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.

It was shocking and sad news. SHINee's Jonghyun died on December 18, 2017. He has suffered from severe depression, and before committing suicide, he sent his sister a text message that read "It has been hard. Please let me go. This is my last goodbye". Countless people are expressing their sorrow at the idol star's death, and many celebrities including Girls' Generation, Super Junior, EXO, Red Velvet, BTS, IU and ZICO have visited his mortuary to express their condolences. 4 SHINee members, Onew, Minho, Key and Taemin played the role of chief mourner. Some of you might wonder why such a famous star committed suicide, but it's true that some Korean stars are suffering from severe depression. They're always controlled by their agencies, and they feel rushed due to anxiety of the future. In the Korean entertainment industry, they fiercely compete to survive, and it's never easy to overcome the severe mental pressure. That's why some celebrities...
On October 28 2016, DSP Media officially announced that the 7th-year girl group Rainbow will be disbanded and each member will go their separate ways. Actually, so many people in the k-pop world feel sorry for Rainbow because the girl group members have been working very sincerely and they've never caused any trouble. And they've always been treating people around them very kindly too. In addition, they've been getting along very well with each other for a long time. Well, however, the problem comes down to the girl group's popularity. Rainbow has released many albums since its debut in 2009 but couldn't become one of the most popular k-pop idol groups, unfortunately. One of the reasons for Rainbow's failure was DSP Media's lack of producing ability, but the girl group was also very unlucky because there were so many competitive rival girl groups who debuted in 2009 along with Rainbow such as 2NE1, After School, 4minute, f(x), T-ara and Secret. Anyway...
There are many beautiful Korean female celebrities, but it's true that many of them got plastic surgeries. And some of their faces look so unnatural and emotionless, which draw unwelcome attention from the public. But, unlike the artificial plastic beauties, Seolhyun succeeded in catching eyes of people by showing off her innocent and natural appearance. After appearing in a commercial for SK Telecom, AOA's Seolhyun became the hottest female idol star in Korea. She's been active as a model for various brands, while she was also appointed as PR ambassador for Korea's general selection. She's now one of the highest-paid female kpop idols. Yeah, it seems like nothing can stop her. The notable thing about Seolhyun’s real personality is that she is very mild and meek. The natural beauty behaves in natural ways as if she is an ordinary young girl, and this is why she finds favor in everyone's sight. She is a little bit shy, and she usually says softly and quietl...
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...
