09.11.20 Taeyang on Music Bank (Comeback)

Yes, formal wear baby~
I am so glad he got rid of the rubber boots from the last performance. I think he did a great job here, the vocals were pretty good, I was a bit annoyed at no fan chants but I guess he must of asked, or they remember..whatever…..I was happy =)

And a little clip of Taeyang practicing “Wedding Dress”~ ever wonder what he has as his cell phone background pic? Well find out…

So apparently, YB didn’t close for Music Bank. I find it kinda annoying how Music Bank chose someone else to close when usually the one who closes is the biggest, anticipated star, and also having a comeback? What’s going on. I won’t go further but I’ll speak about a response I posted on soompi: YB’s stages are lacking. Especially, if we compare Look Only at Me with Wedding Dress, maybe its because we’ve seen that type of stage before with Big Bang. With Look Only at Me, the whole look (including wardrobe) was unique, I don’t feel the “wow” factor or extra “oomph” that the stage is suppose to give when an artist of this caliber is performing. Without the added fan chants, I almost feel bad for him. I’ve quit looking at the charts but frankly, they’re depressing and I don’t want to be reminded of the lack of fan support he’s been receiving for a song this good and I absolutely cannot believe that horrendous song “Please don’t go” is beating him on the charts (my nephew bangs pots and pans together more harmoniously) . I have nothing else to say except that the majority of Koreans have the worse taste in music I’ve seen (okay, I take it back )….I had to let that out.

The biggest Aw~ inducing post ever!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Taeyang, why why why DO YOU DO THIS TO ME. I am never going to get married because I keep seeing pictures of you being the most perfect, adorable man EVER. Omg~

Taeyang Envies 2NE1’s Talents

Aww how cute~

TaeYang said, “Each member of 2NE1 is uniquely talented, which is enviable.”

Big Bang, which is a member of YG Entertainment, introduced their juniors, girl group 2NE1, with the CF and MV for Cyon’s Lollipop phone. In an interview with “Sol,” for his song, “Wedding Dress,” he mentioned each of the 2NE1 members and praised each for their talents.

“I envy Park Bom and her unique and outstanding voice,” he said, “Especially in their song, I Don’t Care, her voice is distinct and unique, and the chorus part which she sang is really good. Park Bom’s voice is popular even before her debut with the group, and her voice here lends a youthful tone to the song.”

After Park Bom, the group’s leader, CL, and the group’s maknae, Minzy were also praised, saying, “CL’s rap skills, plus Minzy’s dancing skills makes a song have sensual power.

“For live performances, I find that Park Sandara is funny and always has the best expressions,” he says of Dara, one of the group’s vocalists, “I get worried because she practices all night, but her hard work is worth it, because Dara’s expression on-stage, are the most wonderful.”

This year, TaeYang with the rest of Big Bang has been going back and forth from South Korea and Japan. Earlier this month, the group released their third Japanese single, “Let Me Hear Your Voice,” which topped the Oricon Daily Charts on the day of its release.

He later told about how he gets recognized in Japan already, “A lot of people in Japan recognize me when I walk down the streets. And always wearing my caps makes me more recognizable, I guess. We always have fun broadcasting in Japan. But because we are recognized already, we can’t go out as often as before. It has pros and cons really.

Big Bang would be moving between the two countries to participate in award ceremonies. On the 21^st, TaeYang and Big Bang leader, G-Dragon would participate in Mnet Asian Musc Awards, or MAMA, and 26 days later, would fly back to Japan for Nihon TV’s Best Hits Song Festival

TaeYang: “Still Busy but Dreaming of Love”

People in their thirties would probably think of “Your Wedding” by Yun JongShin if they hear the news of their first loves getting married, but teenagers these days would definitely hum the tune from TaeYang’s “Wedding Dress.”

TaeYang, who came out with his first solo EP and dominated the charts with his big hit single, “Look Only at Me” last year, recently came back with a single, “Wedding Dress.” He has now joined the other two fellow Big Bang members, SeungRi and G-Dragon, who came out solo before him.

G-dragon-Taeyang, close friends for 8 years, will have their first duet at MAMA

G-dragon and Taeyang, who are  doing solo activities will perform their first duet stage after their debut at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards.

On the 17th, according to YG entertainment (label Big Bang is signed with), G-dragon and Taeyang are planned to participate in the MAMA’s, held at Jamsil stadium on the 21st, and they will sing “Korean dream” together. This song is also on G-dragon’s solo album.

According to YG entertainment, G-dragon is busy preparing his solo concert and Taeyang is continuing to practice for his solo activities, but they are passionately preparing the duet stage staying up all night and between their busy schedules.

YG entertainment tells us to expect, “the two members have been being together for a long time, so they always get along very well. It is lovely seeing them concerned for each other and taking care of each other even though they are busy preparing their individual stages. It will be a great stage!”

G-dragon and Taeyang are close friends having been through a lot together for 8 years, from traineeship to their debut.

“Wedding Dress” Seung Hee’s Take on the “Kiss”

The scene I pretend never happened in the MV

I know we all want to forget about this scene (I know I do) and I admit, I wanted to do some evil voodoo on this chick when I saw it, but I’ve decided to skip this scene in my memory of the beautiful M/V. To me, that was another man kissing that witch woman. (lol, I kid )

Anyway, here is a little excerpt from a recent article on Baek Seung Hee, the actress in the MV. Original here

“I felt ashamed because it was my first kiss scene. Taeyang seemed nervous as well as his lips were trembling and quivering when we were filming the kiss scene. The filming was hard but it was a good memory and quite amusing actually. The kiss scene was just an act, so don’t hate me. Please show some interest in me instead”

^ LOL, I bet that was a GREAT memory Seung Hee~ I mean, you just kissed one of the sexiest men in Kpop. She is now officially the second girl Taeyang has kissed without being his girlfriend. Someone pass me the jar of Ben & Jerry’s please

As always, thank you myokoon!
