Our letter to ALL VISITORS. Please read~





Hi Tae Yang, I´m from Sweden and I just adore you. I love the way you sing and the way you laugh!
I love asian people, the food, music everything!
And I love you´re music!
I became interested in Big Bang especially in Tae Yang when I started to search for some asian music on youtube and then i found Big Bang, I fell in love emediatly.
But if I have to be honest i loved TOP from the start, but then i realized that Tae Yang was more beautifull and then i couldn´t sop litsen to Tae Yang´s music.
So i hope you give me an answer so we can get o know eachother =)<3!
Bye Bye // Diana
Hi there,
I heard about BB but wasn’t even interested in their music or band memebrs. After listening to remix version of ‘Lies’ about a month or two ago, I got very impressed with GD’s rapping which was quite smooth and yet edgy. Somehow my affection/curiosity shifted from GD to YB, and I recently became a die-hard fan of YB. After watching his solo concert on-line, who can you not be a fan… Anyway, while browsing here and there, I came across your site from DCYB and YBEFFECT regarding YB’s May project, etc. I love browsing and reading comments/posting on your blog. Keep up the good work!!
@Diana – Sweden is beautiful! I went there last summer =) nice to meet you!
@ Rainy – thank you for the comments and its nice to meet you! I came to love YB similiarily (my love shifted from GD to YB too XD)
Hey,
I found Big Bang through lollipop. So what can I say? Taeyang was the first to catch my attention and he just awed me. Then I started searching and learning more about Big Bang. I listened to most of their songs now I believe. I really loved GD’s moves and rap in “This Love.” And he really came close to being my favorite, but I guess everyone has a soft spot for the “first one” if you will. And TY just happened to be the “first” one I’ve fallen for out of BB.
Judging from some ppl’s response, it seems TY has come a long way and gained many fans. I mean, I’m not sure if i would’ve fallen for TY first before GD for instance, if I saw “This Love” before lollipop Looking at BB’s older mvs and such, Taeyang didn’t shine out as much as he does now, imo. He really is shining like the hot sun now. However, I’m getting lost in my own writing, I just did an all-niter and my brain is not properly functioning $%#$%^&$. AHHHH.
Oh yes. I guess my point is that my love may have wavered a bit, but it never shifted. It was always Taeyang (I just realized AlwaysTaeyang lol). ..I guess it’s safe to say now, that Taeyang really is my favorite. (I know! I’m so slowwwww! aha /’tard)
I would like to say I love all of BB members, but I guess it’s too naive to expect everyone to be fair and sometimes this forces you to pick your biases and stick with. Gawd, I’m really brain-tired.
Overall, I was really impressed with Big Bang in general. And when I saw TY’s solo–it was like AMAGAD—HOT! HOT! HOT! This bois got so much talent and passion and the hawt bod is just a bonus, because his singing alone is captivating!..lol So you know..regardless of when I learned about BB and when I saw ‘lollipop’ or ‘this love’ or any ‘lies’ or–O_O i can’t think of the title of the songO_O–I’d probably still have a soft spot for Taeyang.
I’m not sure why I decided to leave a message when I’m sleepy, but meh. I’m quite weird. Nice to be here.
Hello, Aims here lol! I’m from NYC…How I found ATY?
I think it was through crunchy roll (don’t have an account anymore) and Kay had a link on her page. And I FINALLY saw it and I was like “hm, I wonder what that’s for?” and Boom!
How I became a fan of YB?
..So, there you have it I became a fan of YB a little late but who cares, right? Now, I love watching him and this site (and others) caters to my needs.
It just sort of happened… Well, I like watching different choreographers/dancers on You tube or where ever. And I stumble upon Shaun’s myspace page and saw Taeyang’s videos! I was curious and that’s when I started to listen to his album on You tube.
At that time, I was just listening to his album and watching his performances, but I never thought to search for sites dedicated to him or anything…So, technically I was a fan, but not a hardcore fan yet (does that make sense?). It was actually while I was watching his solo concert around august (fan cam videos) and his performances with BB that I actually started to really fall for him (who wouldn’t? lol). Even after watching old/new BB videos I was still stuck on YB. Then, it became a mission I HAD to find sites in English lol dedicated to him just so I could praise, criticize and gush about him w/o sounding like a complete idiot
Suggestions? None that I can think of lol and you guys are doing such wonderful job anyway…
^ aha Aims! you found this site off my crunchy page!? LOL…and thanks for the compliments =)
Dear,Tofu.
Lol~~~~
nice to see you again. Long time no see.
I’m so touched by your loverly posts.
I’ve been prepared my personal exam, cuz I could’nt serf web and care my things for TY.
Tofu , why don’t you come Korea (I’m in seoul)
I really wanna meet you someday.
Please leave messages for me
take care~!

AhBe
love tae yang n thanx for putting up dis website love it!
it.s kool 2 c how many people are fans of tae yang and big bang!
@Kay c; thanks for the compliments and i agree, its very cool seeing how many Tae Yang/BB fans there are
@AhBe: LOL thats a pretty funny way of finding out about Bae…through a fanfic. Either way, glad you found out about him and glad you decided to visit us!
I have been delaying writing here for some time, due to exams/work and such, but now that it’s all over, i finally have the time to tell y’all how I became a yb fan.
Well, to start off, Im from Toronto, and i think im one of the last people who you would think would start listening to kpop. however, my univ friends somehow forced me into listening to jpop (arashi and kat-tun), but i never really got into them. while i was watching videos on crunchyroll, about a year ago, i saw a video for a group called Big Bang, and the mv was called “A Fool’s Only Tears”. and i was immediately digging them. loll this may sound a little weird, but originally, i thought that yb was gd and vice versa. but the two ppl that caught my eye were gd and yb. honestly, i think i liked gd a little bit more in the beginning, just b/c he had 2 solo songs, and i saw more of him. but later on, i started noticing yb and his HOTTNESS lol. i think i really fell for his smooth voice and dance moves. then i was in a yb craze and i wanted to know if there were any fansites and somehow came upon this site. THE END (finally, i know)
about improving the site….i dont really have anything negative to say about it. its simple, and easy to navigate through which i like
thank you so much for creating this site for us yb lovers
@dilani: Toronto! I’m from Toronto too! (how you holding up with the heat?)….thanks for posting, your story is so similar to mine lol…
hi im neenah! im from the philippines and i am so thankful you made this blog. i love everything about taeyang and i always check your site! thank you so much. much love from the p.i.
peace out.
Hi,
I’m from Miami, FL(USA). I was searching for a song and it had a similar title to “last farewell” and BB song came out. I was like hmmm… I like it this song. I searched for Big Bang last farewell and saw the MV. YB stood out the most to me and I found myself searching information about him and the group. I found this website by searching for “taeyang” and it was like the first website. I clicked on it and loved it because it always have new informations about YB every time I come back to it. About his music- I think he conveys his emotions through his songs very well and I find myself relating to the situations its about. I love his voice and the way he expresses himself as an artist. Good thing I have internet on my cell cause I’m always coming back checking for new posts. I agree with dilani the website is very easy to navigate and keep up the good work to the administrators. Looking forward to new posts about YB!!
@neenah: welcome and thank you!
@twinkle: thanks for posting! Both you and dilani pointed out a nice feature about our blog..it is very easy to navigate and post =)

My ex-best friend introduced me to Big Bang about a year ago. We were in the cafeteria of our University and she pulls out her I-pod and TRIED to show me a video of La La La La…however I quickly denied her and went about my business lol A couple of months later I actually listened to the song and enjoyed it and once I saw the video and saw the “fine boy with cornrows” I became a fan of TaeYang instantly and have been in love with him since! I would spend hours on end on the computer searching for any bit of information (in English because I know zero Korean) about him and Big Bang. I made a CD and played it for my mom and now she’s into the KPOP scene too lol. She even stole one of my BB CDs! He is so talented, hot, cute, sexy etc. His voice speaks to my soul and I think he is one of the best entertainers in the world!
BTW I found this blog on twitter lol and I’m so glad I did! It’s very organized and has lots of yummy pictures of TaeYang lol I am very happy that I found it!!

What’s up? Taeyang
I hope this massage will be send to you.
I’m your fanclub.
I love u so much.
I know you have few time to rest.
Take care yourself.
You’re the sunshine in my life…..
Cindy, here. I guess its about time I’m introduce myself. Let’s see…I’m from Fort Worth, Texas, I’m 19 going on 20, and I’m Asian (Viet with one-fourth Chinese). I’m majoring in Communications at University of Texas at Arlington (I’m no good in math or science lol).When I’m not Facebooking or catching up on the latest new and gossip about Big Bang/Taeyang, I’m just doing typical 19 year old things minus the partying and stuff. I’m good little Asian girl. lol, Not really.
One of my guys friends actually introduce me to Big Bang,around April of this year. Weird, I know. He was saying that Korean music was really good and tried to show me the “Haru Haru” MV. Except I was like whatever and didn’t pay much attention to it. Couple weeks later, I watched the MV and thus begin my addiction. LOL! I was immediately drawn to the “guy with the Mohawk” . So, I did a little research via Google and here I am today.
There is no such thing as perfection but hell TaeYang sure comes close to it. Oh yeah, his abs are like the icing on the cake. He is one of those very guys. He has masculinity that makes any girl feel protected but he acts with chivalry, sweetness, and modesty. He is soft-spoken but the essence of his words are powerful. Rather than let screaming girls make him egoistical, he uses his fans as his motivation to better himself. Seriously, where can I meet a guy like that? Heck, what can I do to win his heart?
Sorry, I’m going on and on. Thank You to the staff at Always TaeYang for giving my daily fix!
@cindy
“Rather than let screaming girls make him egoistical, he uses his fans as his motivation to better himself. “
^ very well said!!! Thanks for visiting and hanging out here!
Hey my name is Kimmie and I’m from Clearwater, Fl(USA) I’m such a Big Bang fanatic and uhm well I actually discovered Big Bang from a video on youtube and i don’t what i searched but the We Belong Together video was how i figured out Big Bang to tell you the truth G-Dragon was the first one to draw my attention;) haha well like i didn’t really notice Tae Yang because the video was mostly G-Dragon and T.O.P. so like a week later i lost interest in them,…..:(
Then I was hanging out with my friends and stuff and we were playing on the pianno and everything then one of my friends started playing Haru Haru at that time i didn’t really know them because We Belong Together came out 2007 and i was introduced to Big Bang in 2008 so I was like hmmmmmm i wonder who they are and so i searched up Big Bang – Haru Haru which was such an amazing song….then i was like oh i do know them but i just didn’t know who was who because everyone changed like so much.. and i was all like ok go on google image and search up Big Bang i was where is that guy that i liked and i saw this pic http://lovme2.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/20080208_bigbang1.jpg
….then Tae Yang totally popped up and i was like could that be him but no and then i saw G-Dragon and i was like he doesn’t seem that great anymore and Tae Yang was like oh my god i cant even explain haha. and then i found this Big Bang fansite
http://bigbangkorean.wordpress.com/
it was like so cool and so i would check eberyday until now i still do and i was just searching some more Big Bang videos oone youtube and then the user Always TaeYang came up and i was like omg this person is so cool came on this site and i was just clicking on things like the gallery and I just loved it

ohh i get to leave an essay how FUN!!!
Lets see, all started one sunny school day…
one of my best friends who is Korean was like forcing me to listen to Korean music, but i was like GO AWAY NO!! so she stole my flash drive and downloaded a bunch of Korean music, i was bored and was like heck why NOT. The first folder said Big Bang, WTF what kind for retarded name is that i thought so i skipped them. Clicked on a random folder and tell me started playing, i was ADDICTED to that song, that was my class song man i forced everyone in my whole grade to learn it and they loved and kept singing tell me tell me ta tatata tell me in the hallways
I looked up wondergirls on youtube and saw wonderbang
doing lies and tell me together. At first i was attracted to T.O.P though i kept thinking that the guy with the cornrows is sexy as hell, three months later you ask me what about T.O.P i would be like WHO???
it was all about the Tae Yang
the little fan crush became an OBSESSION
EVERYONE i knew, knew who he was, my parents, 2yrs bro, friends, youth pastor, PF leader, teachers, best friends parents…EVERYONE
i came about this website on Georgie’s blog
it’s a great website so organized, pretty, and informative.
@menayaa -
whoa! even your youth pastor!? LOL damn, and I thought I was obsessed ! ~lol…..
thanks for droppin’ a message!
Why the heck not?
One day I was on myspace, I wasn’t really into K-pop, the only band I knew was DBSK/TVXQ. I was in love with Hero Jaejoong. Anyway, back to the story, I was on myspace and their was a quiz with the title, “Which K-Pop boy will marry you?”, so I took it for fun. I had seen the results ahead of time and I was expecting to get Hero. When I got the result all I saw was the name, “Tae Yang”; the picture hadn’t even loaded yet and I muttered to myself, “Who the hell is Tae Yang and WHY didn’t I get my baby Hero?”. When I scrolled up I saw him and instantly fell in love, call that shallow but I don’t know. I didn’t think he was a singer, I thought, “Hey maybe he’s a model” . So I looked him up and my heart melted once more when I found out he was a singer. I watched ‘Only Look at me’ and ‘Prayer’ and then I found out about Big Bang and I’ve been an instant fan ever since. It’s only been 3 months since that day, but I can honestly say I’m a hardcore fan and I’m doing all I can to catch up with the rest of you lol.
P.S. Because of Big Bang, Im now fans of Wonder Girls, Super Junior, Jewelry and a lot of K-pop groups!
^ whoa! that’s weird and yet really cool how you found out about Taeyang !~lol thanks for dropping a message =)
OMO
oliviauncensored
thats so funny how both of us fell in love with tae yang because of DBSK and Hero! hahaha
same here after falling inlove with BIG BANG i became more open with korean music
hmmm.. I was working on one of my art piece and I was looking for new music ( inspiration ^O^)
so, I turned on my computer and there it wasTaeyang with his song ( prayer)
Im not korean or asian, Im latina, but I love japanese rock music as well as R&D korean music ( they kind of sound the same as african american’s music )
IDK, I have a big admiration for YB ^^
I think he’s unique, I dont know so much about him but I have to say it I love how he show his face to the world
and go for wht he truly wants.
^^ I wish u the best of the best Sol I really do
a lots of girls depend on ur smile to live, just keep it up!
- the luna is falling-
^ alexa, thanks for dropping by and leaving us a message! glad to know he was a source of inspiration for your artwork!
keep on visiting us =)
i did know that there was a Kpop group called BIGBANG but never really cared.
one day my sister told me to watch ” look at only me” mv.After watching it I was like ;WOW! who is this guy?? I didn’t even know that he was a BigBang member!….I then searched about him on the net, listened to his songs, watched his videos all the time!>> I liked him so much.I used to have and still have very funny dreams about him.I’d really gone crazy!..my sister wished she had never told me about him… =]
That’s how i fell in love with him.I can’t say that i am his no1 fan because I know that there are even more die hearted fans of him like you guys, but I can say that , I love him very much. He is very hard working and I hope that he becomes the best !!
GO! YOUNGBAE !
<3
Hi all!
I just got interested into BB a few months (or is it weeks?) ago. The first song I listened to was haru haru, my roommate kept on playing it on her laptop and singing it…LOL
So I got interested and watched their MVs. What got me interested into Tae yang was his MV Prayer. My roommate was showing me Seungri’s solo, Tae Yang’s Prayer and Look Only at Me. I liked Look Only at Me from the moment I heard it, the lyrics are a bit (how to put it), strange… But I liked the emotion and dance he put into the song. Prayer was…. total eye candy! *screams like a fangirl*
I’m sorry for being impolite.. Forgot to introduce myself, my name’s Chanting (direct translation from my Chinese name.. though not that accurate, but it’s close.) I’m from Taiwan, but I am currently in Australia undergoing first year of uni. Big Bang and Tae Yang are my saviors when I’m drained from writing assignments and stress!
Tae Yang shines on my gloomy days! You rock forever! XD
(Gee I’m going everywhere in this post…So, back to the intro [yes I'm not done, I'm such a rambler, sorry.])
Hope to know you all better! I’m glad I came along this website (on the Big Bang website voting…. I actually got into iBigBang first, but being the big Tae Yang fan I’ve become, I clicked on this website straight away and haven’t been anywhere else since! XD)
i never knew about this haha
anyways
my name is Ali
im from the US
Washington state wit it!!
my friend introduced me to big bang and told me they were like a male version of the wondergirls
i saw their Lies performance from May 08 and after that i was a fan
and that haru haru video is the only song that can get me close to tears or in tears
started listening to all their songs and at first i was a seungri fan cause he had a cool jacket from that performance
this was exacttly a year ago
me and my friends picked which member to be
but as i learned about their personalities, Taeyang caught my attention
people like Taeyang are rare and inspire me most
so i begged to switch with my friend
were such losers
but since then ive been a Taeyang fan with big bang on the side haha
naww ima fan of both
but yea Dong Youngbae WIT IT!!
^_^
oh and i was the firstt fan of the montth on this site haha
@Diki – thanks for dropping us a message!!~
@Chanting – glad you found us on toplist, ibigbang is a great website as well…lol and Big Bang/Taeyang are my saviors in university too!
@Ali – Mr. First FOTM, thanks for posting here =) Lol i find it funny your friend said they were the male “wondergirls” ~haha anyway, thanks for posting in the guestbook! =)
Hi! I’m Krista from the Philippines…
Just dropping by to say super thank you for all the news on YB and pictures of him (hahaha)… Sorry it took me so long to give a shoutout since I’ve been visiting the blog ever since I’ve been a fan of Big Bang particularly YB last year.
I really appreciate everything that the team has done for this blog on YB… It makes non-korean fans like me to feel closer to him and to his music.
More power to everyone…
Tae Yang Hwaiting!!!!
Hi !
)
i am a french fan of big bang and especially Tae Yang <3
the first time i saw him was on the Star Battle Dance show 2009 : He was amazing, talented and sexy !
Who is this guy? Tae yang? Big bang?
After fews research on internet, i discovered him : how can he be so HOT when he is performing and be so shy in real life…. why is he so young ( i am 28, i will never be able to call him oppa
his album is great! my favorite songs are "only look at me" and "make love"
(whenever you want…)
I can't wait his next album!!
I ordered his album HOT from Korea as i didn't find any retailer in France, when i like someone i can't download because he really deserved "les fruits de son succès".
I want to thank you to give me some news of him, pictures and videos.
My girl hot concert video is on my i phone, i don't want to loan it because people will think i am a pervert, (they are not totally wrong !)
Tae yang, wait for me, i am saving money to see you on stage in korea!!
Heyyyyy ^_^
I’m Dina and I’m from England but I would most definitely rather be in South Korea haha. Although truthfully to me South Koreans seem just a littttttttlllleeeee bit fake to me, with all there plastic surgery and men/boys looking like girls and just a litttttttttttttle bit harsh especially with all the 2pm Jay controversy (If you can’t criticize your own country whose else are you meant to criticize right – I’m a Nepalese and complain about it everyday haha) anyway back to Taeyang …
My sisters used to watch Big Bang before but it wasn’t until Lollipop that I really got interested, Young Bae stood out straight away to me, not just his bright trousers and his oh so adorable yet somehow sexy face ( how does he do it ) but also his voice – there was just something about it that made me stay still for 3 minutes, almost hypnotized by his melody. Then from that day onward until now and for ever more, I became his – whether he wants it or not haha.
I love how dedicated he is, he’s different from all other Korean acts, he is 100% focused and has no need to dress crazy, act crazy and controversial to get my attention at all – he himself is pure talent and my biggest dream would be to if not to meet him one day (just to say ‘yo!’ hehe), then atleast watch him do his ‘thang’ in one of his concert. It would make my day, no my whole life complete haha.
Now maybe I’m writing too much so I’ll stop now. Thank you for this website, I try to view it every chance I get ^_^.
Forever YoungBae <3
Dinu
P.s I would love to just slide my fingers down his chin one day – it just looks so smooth and absolutely delicious haha ^__^
@andrella – thank you for dropping us a message and you are very welcome for all the news =)
@nadia – bonjour! je’mapelle Kay! (lol that’s all I remember from my French class!) but thanks for visiting us here!~~
@DinDin – thanks for posting and I agree, seeing him in concert is also one of my dreams….
I’m Jordan, or Nikko, from Las Vegas, Nevada
I found out about Big Bang through my dad, technically. He was in the army and was stationed in Seoul for a while, and he was always talking about Korea and how great of a city Seoul was. I decided to actually look up Korea one day, and I was reading, and I came across an article about popular Korean music. It was early 07 if I remember correctly. I found Big Bang somewhere in there, and they seemed to have the most “praise” if that’s the right word, and they seemed interesting, so I decided to look them up. The first song I heard was A Fool’s Only Tears. It was different from any music I had ever heard, really. My mom is a Caucasian lady that only listens to 80’s metal, and my dad was an African-American who only listened to hardcore rap and 80’s metal, so this was like a whole new world to me
(life story, much?)
Youngbae had always been my favorite member, and the only Asian boy I had ever thought was cute XD I honestly didn’t think any of them were good looking when I first saw them, so honestly speaking I can say that I love their music.
I found the ATY blog by searching for Taeyang, because I had learned his stage name before his real name. And an article appeared in the search on you guys’ blog. And now, according to Firefox, ATY is my most visited webpage, YAY!
Sorry for blabbing so much,
and thanks for all of the great news!
I bet you anything that Youngbae has come to this site more than once, because he’s google.. able? Hehehe.
n_n

Hey there,
Wah. I never knew there was a whole site dedicated to our special YoBo. <3
I discovered you guys through youtube and I finally came on this site. I never found the time but I'm glad I came.
Er…so I've been a BIG BANG fan for almost three years now and I've loved every moment of it.
I was mesmerized by their music and I loved how I could easily dance to their songs. I love to dance so it seemed like an awesome match. xD
At first, I did like T.O.P. because of his unique eyes but then I noticed the shy, yet EXTREMELY HOT, Youngbae in the videos. I became more and more infatuated and soon, I was a die hard fan.
It's now been a 3 yr fan-ism of YOUNGBAE<
dang it for some reason my comment was cut off. ^

Since I posted a comment in one of the entries an hour or so ago, I decided to post here in the guestbook as well.
This comment will probably be long so I apologize in advance.
I’m Adette from the Philippines, and I only got interested in Big Bang (and KPop in general) early this year although I’ve known them since last year. The first KPop album I ever purchased was Big Bang’s “Remember,” and I really fell in love with the songs in it.
Honestly, I first liked G-Dragon a lot (and I still do, in a sense), but I never failed to recognize YoungBae’s talent as a dancer and singer. Since I’m quite new to the KPop scene I only got to know YoungBae’s solo efforts recently when Where U At and Wedding Dress were released. I really fell in love with his voice and his dancing, and I like Wedding Dress so much that I even posted a review of it here. I then searched for his previous solo efforts and I was just completely blown away. He really serves as an inspiration to a lot of people.
Because I wanted to know him more (don’t we all? XD) I decided to search on the internet and I stumbled upon this site! I really love how dedicated the ATY team is to bringing the YB goodness to us international fans. We can’t thank you enough, really.
If you need any help in proofreading articles (I’m somewhat of a grammar nazi so I love spotting errors
) I’m available, since that’s probably the only thing I can contribute. Keep up the good work ATY!
I can’t believe I’ve never signed the fanbook but anyway Wassup? My name is Tanisha and I from New York. It’s weird and funny how I came across Taeyang/Big Bang. When I was in Junior High I heard about H.O.T. and S.E.S. but never really had an interest in them, I just thought it was cool that koreans could rap and sang. What really got me into Big Bang was my friend who went to Korea. He told me how fascinating it was so I decided to look up old H.O.T. videos on youtube. Then I saw Big Bang video on the other video side bar….lol. I decided to click on it and I fell in love with that song. To me it was sooo different and soo cool that they could incorporate American hip-hop/r&b music to make their own and add a twist to it. I started to youtube all their videos and the guy with the cornrows [Taeyang] I paid attentioned to the most. His charisma was cocky but yet smooth. It was something about him and I can’t really explain it that made me focus on only him. I started to look up on him along and found out he had a solo. His vocals were amazing and I couldn’t believe my ears. All I kept saying to myself was “That’s the same person for the documentaries?!” Blew me away. I had a lot of catching up to do since I found out about them in May of 2009 [Lollipop era]. I saw the way he was dancing and I was like this guy is cool and he’s kind of cute. I found this site by googling his name….lol. I’m glad I did. ^_^. Thanx for making ATY for us international Taeyang fans!
i found big bang through lollipop too! it was one of my favorites because G-Dragon was rocking pink overalls, T.o.p. had big sexy glasses, Taeyang had a Florida Gater outfit going, Sungri had a cape on his shirt, and Daesung, well… was daesung. lol. I loved them and as a former dancer i had to admire Taeyangs dancing skills. i just wish i could see more of them living here in America i only get the internet
.
Hello Taeyang! From London, I hope you can read all these english comments
but please if you read this COME LONDON to perform at the O2 arena!
I’ve liked Bigbang since the age of 11
I would really want to meet you personally!
Take care!

OMg. Tae Yang I cannot believe you’re only 3 days older than me. As time passes, you grew more and more to become this white knight in every girl’s heart. Don’t lose your passion, be yourself always.
Hello Tae Yang. Your latest “Wedding Dress” song and MV have started a crazy Korean wave here at University of Toronto.
Our Dance Crews here are learning your dances and very emotionally motivated by your style of dancing. Many students here are talking about your songs and dances, all of them which are positive feedbacks! Including myself, which started supporting you ever since you started.
We all love you and take pride in learning your dances. You are famous and will be even more popular in the near future. Take passion in your career and wish you all the best!
You’re the best single Korean singer and dancer I’ve yet known until today. You’ve got amazing talent and the Michael Jackson taste in your dances.
God bless you Tae Yang ^^ Go Young Bae!
Greetings from Long Beach, California.. I’m pretty new to these kind of post. And I would like to share my recent discovering of Tae Yang!! I first heard about Tae Yang when I was watching some dancer name Lyle Beniga on Youtube..and I was like “whoa this guy can dance”. so I looked over to the side link and then there was a video that was posted up TAE YANG- WHERE YOU AT? something told me to click on it..(maybe it was the way he was dressed)? So I sat, here, in my chair, ready to write my essay..when he (Tae Yang) started singing and dancing..and that was like love at first sight!! haha!! I was like OMG! who is this hottie? So for the last 5 hours (instead of writing my essay) I was searching for this amazing man!! But every time I searched for him, there was this other group.. Big Bang..consist of 5 members.. very good looking and unique in their own way, but I couldn’t find Tae Yang, so I went back to watching Where You At? I notice that he wore a cap.. and with my good memory in take..I remembered there was a guy wearing a cap in Big Bang and came to find out it was Tae Yang.. And now I’m so stuck on these Korean pop star. Not just because they are hot looking..but the songs..OMG have such a strong meaning..although I have no clue what they’re saying (thank you to all who subbed their videos). Born and raised in Long Beach, I grew up listening to Snoop Dog, Warren G, Dr. Dre Eazy E, P. Diddy Run DMC, ect. ect. music now mainly talks about money..sex and b******.. Tae Yang music consist of Soul..powerful and meaningful at the same time. Yes, I will admit now that I am a Tae Yang fan..even though I’m much older than him.. I feel that his music can capture the heart of females my age. Tae Yang Fighting!!!!! (as for my essay.. I wrote on Korean Musicians..Tae Yang)
taeyang you’re just too sexy

Hi Tae Yang!!! This is Chanting (the same one from Australia) from Taiwan~~~
Just to let you know, you were in the news for a few seconds here!!! It was a report about the largest increase of people taking the Korean language test for the past 10 years. After quotes from professionals and stuff, they showed some Korean drama, then your “Where U At” MV!!!!!! Keep fighting Tae Yang!!! You are being loved by all fans! w<)
Hi everyone!
I’m little_tiger @ mieza from Malaysia. I was introduced to Big Bang by my friend in 2007. Since then, i’ve been a fan of Big Bang till now. I’d listen to their song every single day! I love their voices, especially YB…haha! He got nice voice. I’ll listen to Only Look At Me every night before I go to sleep ( my fav lullaby..haha!)
I just started visiting this site since yesterday coz I saw the address on YB Wedding Dress MV. It’s very exciting! i’m beginning to fell in love with this site.There’s so many info about YB in here…
To all ATY admin and staff, thank you for creating a place for all international fan of YB to seek info and exchanging ideas.Keep up the good work!
Lastly, to Tae Yang, work hard to achieve all your dreams. Take care. We love you and we’ll support you all the way through! Hwaiting!
I’ve known about Big Bang for several years cause I have a younger cousin that loves the entire YG Family but since I didn’t listen to K-pop I never looked deeper into it. But just a short time ago (10 days ago to be exact) I gave in on seeing Wedding Dress MV posted in my friend’s blog even though I really been trying to stay away from K-pop (not beacuse I didn’t like it, just that I’m a kind of person that is really dedicated in getting involved with the things I like. So I just didn’t felt like I wanted to be a part of this crazy hype). Oh boy am I happy that I watched, cause I fell immediately! Since that day, I’ve been reading and watching interviews, performances, MVs and everything I can get my eyes on involving YB. Now slowly I’m learing more about the entire group and a little bit about 2NE1 as well. But my number 1 priority is still YB <3
Ps. Did you guys know that K-pop is really big amongst Asians in Sweden and at the moment there is a really big YB-hype amonst us Asian girls. Here in Sweden almost everyone has their own personal blog so you really see YB everywhere! =D
Tea Yang! I LOVE your Music video “Where u at” so much! Love the dancing and singing! and I’m like the biggest fan of Big Bang since 2006 until now…. I’m trying to learn Korean so i could speak and understand in Korean! hope i get through the learning and be success! Love your New Music “Wedding Dress”. Keep up the good work cause we all LOVE you so much and we support you 100%……..Take Care…..

ho ho ho’s from somewhere in SE Europe, im sure nobody has heard of my country (its romania by the way lol), man…its the first time i try to compose something, but Tae Yang invaded my life in the couple of days, so hes worth my struggle here…i learned of big bang for a while now, i was watching “i am sam” and TOP caught my eye, but i hadnt listened to their songs then; i knew G-Dragon was the leader..so when i watched Gara Gara Go, and saw this guy with his awesome moves..& said to myself, damn this G-Dragon is hot…no wonder they chose him as the leader…:))))) then surprise.. it turned out that hot guy to be Tae Yang..so yea…why didnt they choose him as the leader??? hes obviously the best within the group, and his solo songs are just marvellous :* so what its left for me is to wish him to keep up his good work and be as successful as he can be in his career, cheers!!!
