Taeyang cameos in CL’s 나쁜 기집애 (“The Baddest Female”) MV

Taeyang channels his inner hiphop Elvis in CL of 2ne1’s solo debut MV – the aptly named 나쁜 기집애 (“The Baddest Female”). (Which will probably eventually be nicknamed “GZB.”)

YAY!!! He was there today for the Sept. 25th day of 2NE1’s Nolza Japan concert tour. Yesterday, Taeyang was a special guest for the girls but isn’t very clear how long he will be touring with them. With fans anticipating him being there this time, it has been said that audience reaction was even more enthusiastic than yesterday and there were a good number of people sporting Taeyang hoodies in the crowd! Happy that fans in Japan are showing our boy some love. Again, he sang Look Only At Me, Where U At and Superstar.

It’s been known that Taeyang has been in Japan for the last few days and the rumor that it was for 2NE1’s Nolza Japan concert tour seems to be true. Taeyang performed on the 24th in  Kobe World Memorial Hall in Kobe, Japan. I’m unsure if he’ll be performing in the rest of 2NE1’s tour considering there’s 3 more days left on the tour schedule but I think it’s at least likely he’ll be performing tomorrow with them again at the Kobe World Memorial Hall. According to fans he performed Superstar, Where U At and Look Only At Me.

Once again Taeyang  broke it down during the 2nd day of 2NE1’s NOLZA concert. During his dance battle with Minzy it seems like they both were more comfortable.

Korean Pop, with Online Help, Goes Global

By Lina Yoon / Seoul

As a child who used to hide from his parents to dance to cassettes of Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, Dong Young-bae says he was too shy to tell anyone he wanted to become a famous dancer and singer. Not anymore. Today, the 22-year-old South Korean singer and dancer known Taeyang is facing the spotlight as an international pop star. Thanks in no small part to a long-standing trend in Asia that renders all things Korean cool, Taeyang is going global, riding the so-called Korean Wave all the way out west.

An excited Taeyang at the ’71-Into the Fire’ Premiere

I’m not a big fan of war movies myself but this one seems really good~ Big Bang along with 2NE1 went to the premiere of the movie with a whole bunch of other artists. Check out the video, Taeyang shows up at 3:29, super excited while GD is munching on a bucket of popcorn ~lol

Se7en, Gummy, Big Bang & 2NE1 come back this year – it’s a “YG Blitz!”

YG’s recent announcement on various news portals indicates the man has YET AGAIN revealed new plans for his artist. Yeah, yeah, I know. How many times have we rolled our eyes at yet again ANOTHER announcement, only to find out months later they’d be changed~ lol seriously YG, you just set yourself up for mockery. Okay, enough of my ranting, I am stoked he spoke about Taeyang’s solo album though – FINALLY!

As YG said ” Big Bang did not release any albums this year, they will be releasing two mini albums – one in the summer and then at the end of the year” he also said, “before though, Big Bang’s Taeyang will release his solo album”

We all know that YG is a master at changing plans, before TOP and Daesung were suppose to release solo albums this year, however I guess things have changed because now the plans look like Gummy will be releasing in May, followed by Se7en in June, 2NE1 will be coming back in the summer, somewhere in there we’ve got our boy Taeyang, then Big Bang all through the rest of the year – THAT is one crazy YG year. My only worry is, will Taeyang get the time he needs to do PROPER promotions for his album?
