08.22.10 – Taeyang’s return on Inkigayo with “I’ll Be There”


Yet another impressive performance from Taeyang.  The set was incredible and all the fan chants added so much energy to it all.  I guess YB is letting his fans cheer him on now? lol.

And I for one was happy to see SBS capture the “crawl” in the choreography.  Does anyone else find that part particularly hot?

  1. I sat through 50 minutes of teeny bobbing pop until they finally showed TY perf…Gosh it was the longest 50 minutes and the shortest 3 miutes

    1. LOL this is why I don’t tune in until the show’s about 15 minutes away from ending. Tae is always one of the last performers.

  2. THANK YOU! i jumped in the live stream too late and endured endless ear assault and torture only to find out i missed Tae!

  3. yes this was a great stage.
    inki stages are really amazing!
    and of course, YB nailed it again!
    the crawling part is my favorite too.
    i’m looking forward to see him getting awards.
    i hope he will!!!

  4. Loved Inki’s stage tonight and thanking the cameramen for showing us different views from Music Core….especially the gun gun gun closeups and that sexy floor crawl!

    I loved that the fans were singing the song with him! Another amazing performance by YB.

  5. lol the cameramen have tough jobs. so far it seems that the choreography is so different and unique that they have trouble capturing taeyang. they dont know what to film. haha a lil messy camera work especially at the end when they kept zooming in on tae’s jewels. haha

    1. Hahah, yeah it’s like “Gah no! What to focus on!?!?!” *film close up, long shot, etc etc*

      viewer: WTH~~~ (XD)

      The dance is too fly, LOL

      There’s a lot of detail in Shaun’s choreo, and with all the back up dancers having their own thing as well, it’ll be hard to focus just on Tae Yang or filming the whole thing long shot….

      1. yeah i kinda wish they would just keep the camera still so we can see the choreography, but we also need closeups of taeyang too so its kinda hard to decide. haha

        i just think this choreography is too damn good and theres nothing the cameramen can do. this is definitely the most complex choreo that taeyang has gotten. so much stuff goin on. everyone else that is performing can’t even compare to taeyang.

  6. another stunning performance!! 😉
    and the stage is really great, it really matched the Youngbae’s awesome performance!!

    ..and the dancers are not wearing the same clothes as yesterday (or is it only JiHye??)!!

  7. WOW!! simply WOW!! 😀

    i love YB’s performance in Inki today!! hehe.. the stage, the choreography, the dancers, the man himself (YB), the singing, etc; everything seems so PERFECT.. 🙂

    he simply blew me away with yet another excellent performance of “I’ll Be There” (though he only performed twice so far).. 🙂

    his stage charisma & presence seems to be overflowing nowadays which i like!! hehe.. 😀

  8. Man!! if you guys watched the whole show,, all the other performances are jaw-dropping bad.. IT’s like watching a high school talent show…I am trying to be as less taeyang biased as possible, but the other perf.. were really bad. Except for se7en who was ok and BOa who was ok. But the rest was not good, even Shinee “Lucifer” was not good….BUt Taeyang’s concept, atmosphere, and choreo almost made him seem like a guest star.. He just can’t be in the same cate. as these artists.

    1. Yeah…Taeyang on the backdrop of the rest of Kpop…he really stands out! Though some might argue that his new song is more “mainstream” his stages and performances are always so different than the rest. Truly a cut above.

    2. Come on! Shinee is not that bad. Their choreography is unique also. YB performance is effing hot. The only thing I want to complain is his interaction with the audience. He was like enjoying/losing in his own world and barely looked at the camera. Oh happy to see so many crown lights.

      1. think he/she meant tonights perf wasn’t good. they honestly look dead tired.. probably from SM town live yesterday

  9. Yet another amazing performance!

    His vocals were solid, there’s an improvement from MuCore yesterday already. YB’s DAH MAN~~~ XD

    I HEART THE FLOOR CRAWL, so HOT~~~~

    I’m glad Inki showed it, I already love the shadow of it in the MV, and yep… IT’S EVEN MORE AWESOME….XDD

    I love the chandeliers at the back for some reason, hahaha~ the setting looks really nice too. =)

    The fan chants added to the hype and excitement!! Woo hooo!

    Overall an A double plus performance!!! YB fighting~~~ >w<

  10. Great stage, performance and vocals for the night.
    Cameramen were on n off with good angles n shots.
    any one else notice he missed the step he was supposed to sit on n his feet slipped up a bit, wasn’t a big thing just something i saw didn’t hinder anything at least.

    BTW wtf is with the cardboard crowns in the hairbands of these girls? were are the oldschool crown flashlight joints and bandanas at first i thought they were mannequins till one moved.

    Good work and performance none the less.

    Wonder how the hell they’re gonna top the performance for year end shows…. they’re either gonna come out the ground literally or the choreo is gonna change again.. lets hope time flies by

    1. can’t wait for him to perform this year MAMA and SBS Gayo show i want them to replicate the graveyard or build a huge staircase.

    2. Oh if your talking 1:48-1:49 about him missing a step I know what your talking about but I believe that’s part of the choreography. I kept rematching the other performances but I think it was intentional at first I was like what the but then the more I watched I found it was part of the routine.

    3. The cardboard crowns are for Taeyang. During BB’s Stand Up (I think) promotions he wore a crown in most of the promotional pictures and I think in one mv. It’s kind of his signature.

  11. HOT DAMN! That was great 😀 i think im in love with ill be there performances from now and onwards:D its hard to criticise. Singing on point, dancing right on point hotness difinitely delivering. Is it just me but do you see taeyang being innocent and sexy at the same time. The look he gave us right about the middle of the perf i just had a blood nose. Hehhehee no really though congrats to yb, another great perf

  12. Another awesome performance 🙂
    I just love his expressions & how he gets into character as well as the slick on point choreography. Love love love it XD

  13. Wow, I LOVED this performance. The set was great. It really matches the dark concept from the mv and song.

    The cameraman gets extra points for capturing the crawl and the gun part. That was hot!

    The fanchants also made the performance even more intense. It was wonderful.

    So, yeah. Great performance YB!

  14. well, when i listen IWBTvideo music, i didn’t like it. But when i listen you sang it by real voice i luv it much! Bae, you always there in my heart ! eat much & sleep well ! ^^

  15. I absolutely love watching these performances (as I do ALL of his performances but IBT especially)…..he’s just doing amazing with the choreo and vocals, the theatrical production value is top notch and the sets are just magnificent…….total love for IBT…I even catch myself singing along. Yes, the song is more “mainstream” than we’ve heard from him, but he’s done something to this mainstream pop sound by adding his own little R&B flair and his signature moves and I get a bit of him through these performances…..

  16. Awesome performance! You know he killed it and killed it again lol..Okay I exaggerate a little but this performance was great! This stage was perfect, vocals on point, choreo smooth (shaun u did good!!), and his interaction with the crowd (pointing his finger and staring with that death stare thingy LOL) LOVES, LOVES.

    *Took me a long time to type this comment b/c i was watching his performance again LOL..

  17. Um.. hello? Is this I’ve been looking for?

    Okay, this performance is just hotness overload, awesome live vocals(he hit all the high notes and his voice didn’t quaver from all that dancing), the dance was on point, the crowd’s cheer help to lift up the mood, the set was really cool and the man himself was into the performance. Some of you know i criticize a lot, so saying this is a big deal to me LOL… so yeah, performance on FIYAH!!

    Like Kay said, this song is more mainstream than his other songs but I really feel that through the performance and the music video, Taeyang is still not your typical Kpop yet. He still has his own thing going there.

    1. I agree with both Kay and you.
      I was mainly not feeling IBT coz it was mainstream and I have a bit of prejudice against it, but the live performance really made me like it.
      I also appreciate the fact that he is singing most of it so the auto-tune parts are kept to a minimum.
      This song is definitely meant to be performed live.

    2. I agree. This is definitely more mainstream for Taeyang, but it’s nothing like the other autotuned repetitive kpop stuff out right now. Being mainstream isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as long as you’re not selling out your own style, and I don’t believe Taeyang has done that.

      Hm, I kinda like the camera work on Music Core better. Well, at least, the one camera that shot from the top. That one, I really liked, cuz I could see the beauty of some of the choreography from the top! But the camera work in Inki was very interactive and dynamic, which I liked too.

  18. im incredibly satisfied w/ this perf.
    There are so many parts of the choreo that I love! The beginning, when JiHye walks away, and YB kinda withers onto the floor, the crawl, gun gun gun, and those deathly stares.gahhh..hot!
    I also agree that the fan chants add a little more oomph to the performance. Does this mean that he’s becoming more comfortable and confident performing on stage? I hope so!

    1. Oh, I love the gun gun gun part too! The part where he turns and does the gun gun gun part! And the crawl, it’s so hot! I am such a perverted Noona, LOL!

  19. YET.. another wonderful performance! i love love this song!!! forget the auto tune (which was bug’n alot of pepo but not me) this guy is a BEAST!!!! he is a G8T entertainer and performer!!!! i hope to have many more years of him!!! we love you YB!:)

  20. i know this is unnecessary but here are the MR-removed versions of his first 2 performances of IBT.
    so sweet! singing about 85-90% while dancing, this man is really sick!

  21. and other hot performs by taeyang
    Taeyang never let us down on us performs
    found that he sings more in i”ll be there live performs

  22. I liked the set from the Music Core perf better, the set on this one was too cheesy ’80’s (as opposed to good ’80’s).

        1. and preview to CONNECTION too! and i love it already!!!!!!!!!!!! wahhhh i think ill love this more than IBT!

  23. it’s too great. i love it. i have liked the vampire image after i read twilight and new moon, and now his image look like that. so amazing. the song is too great. but the ver of shikuradehan quite hard to listen. anyway thanks. do anyone know when will it exist on kbs world. i use cable so i am able to what only kbs. thanks so much.
    i’ll be there i’ll be there, oh no i has fallen in love with it.lol 😀

  24. i love it^^ YB shows a huge charisma in his dance…i love choreograh…around of applause for YB and specially the choreograher shaun evaristo..*clap….Clap…clap…clap…* 😀
