# Hello, it’s Big Bang’s Taeyang^^
It’s my first time to greet everyone through Star Column. In Big Bang’s Star Column, we will not introduce passionate and nice stage stories we’ve experienced while going around the world, but we’re going to share the backstage episodes that you would like to know about more. I thought over what to say at first. I will try telling the story like I’m writing on my diary. Everyone, please look forward to it ~
Through the 2012 world tour, we had many chances to visit all over the world. One of the memorable places to me is Peru! I think that this country is where I would never even have a chance to go without the world tour. I didn’t know much about Peru, so it drew my interest a lot even before I left.

Poor Taeyang suffered a (probably fatigue related) “nose-blood” (his words) during Big Bang’s Alive Tour concert at Wembley Arena in London on the evening of December 14.

Taeyang had a few days free after Big Bang’s highly successful Alive Tour weekend in Anaheim, and he spent it out in the city with partner in crime GDragon, hitting up the La Brea shops and the Chrome Hearts atelier among other places. True to form, he headed straight for the Taeyang style accessories at Stampd and made some friends along the way.
