Here’s some good news after the crazy 2nd album discussions that went on this weekend.
Taeyang has been nomiated for “R&B Artist of the Year” and “R&B Single of the Year – Where U At” at the 2009 annual Rhthymer.net awards. Rhythemer.net is famous for promoting hip-hop and R&B music in South Korea. They are very well unknown among the underground music makers and have been known to promote underground artists, as well as mainstream R&B artists (like Taeyang). What makes me proud is seeing Taeyang nominated with the likes of hip-hop legends Drunken Tiger, Ra.D and others!
And interestingly enough, 2NE1 has been nominated in the same categories as Taeyang!
Let’s see which YG artist takes home the award =)

*Correction:
I previously stated Tae Yang’s album was rescheduled for the 2nd half of the year. This is terribly wrong. I’ve checked with our translator and it turns out Youngbae was referring to Big Bang’s Korean album not his own solo album.So we still know nothing about the release of his album. Sorry for throwing you all into a frenzy with the incorrect information. *Bows to you a thousands times.* Sorry, and it won’t happen again! (I hope…)
Thanks S and Georgie for setting things straight. Sincerely,
Tofu (*throws peace sign and a cheesy smile*) P.S. Now I feel all crunchy.
Before anything begins, I apologize for the all the negativity in this post, but I’m sure I speak for most of the Tae Yang fandom when I say that current state of Youngbae is pitiful and a little more. In a recent article on Seung-Ri’s first time in the subway, we got a little news bite on TY’s 2nd album, which is now re-scheduled for the 2nd half of the year.Ohhh my bad!
So why is it pitiful? Well, remember when we were expecting it to be in October/November? Instead two singles were released, which was great, but remember the kind of half-assed promotions? Tae Yang flying between Japan and Korea? Big Band and solo activities at the same time? I wasn’t frustrated with the situation until Youngabe himself spoke out about it in his GQ interview, but at this point I’m feeling sorry for the boy because obviously he’s not top on YGE’s priority list. What’s next? A Korean album in the works? I can’t help but feel anxious and worried for Youngbae because I know he’s probably getting impatient himself. Read more »
A quick post on a very lovely video – an impressive collection of his performances dating back to the early Big Bang days with his cornrows, saggy-pants and all. As a long time fan, this brings back a lot of memories.
& and finally a full performance of Big Bang’s “Stay” from the Big Show concert. I don’t think I know a Tae Yang who doesn’t love this song. SUNDAE for the win!
Now, if only I could fly to Korea, get on a subway and have 5 gorgeous men (1 of which is ridiculously gorgeous) dancing away on my way to school. Life would be perfect.
1 show down, 2 more to go!
Over the next few days, hopefully, we’ll start to see more fancams from the BIG SHOW 2010 that’s taking place this weekend in Korea. Finally, we’ll get to see more of YB and Big Bang.
Fancam! I know we’ve all been waiting for this. (Thanks DYB’sLove&Dilani!)
Feel free to post any fan cams you find~ We’ll be updated this post with YB fancams as soon as we can find them =)
Woo this makes me happy~!!
We all know KPOP kings DBSK released “Break Out” the same day as “Fall in Love” was released in Japan and it quickly topped the charts, however things are a little different in Korea, as Melon’s JPOP charts revealed Taeyang & Thelma’s “Fall in Love” beating out even DBSK for #1 position.
Ohhh yeaaaa~
Whether this is short lived or not, I’m happy to see them doing well in Korea if not Japan. No disrespect to DBSK fans in here, I’m sure their song is great as well~!
Anyone got any more charts you can link us with – JPOP or KPOP….post em!!
