YB TaeYang’s Letter to His Fans

Note –  2 DAYS LEFT to get your birthday message in – click the image on the right to be directed to the post!

This is a letter YB wrote to his fans. It is not long but, as it is often the case, YB cuts right through to what matters without being verbose. Also, the awesome bam_uida (intothesol) has made a video with it and generously agreed to upload it to YouTube for us international fans (thanks again!):

[Fan Encounter] YB Spotted in a Japanese Restaurant with Teddy, Kush and Lovely Miss Aimee

A lucky fan wrote about her chance encounter with our YB and posted it on YBEffect on May 3, 2009. I found it very amusing and translated it to share with you. Of course I would’ve acted differently if it had been me – I would’ve had a heart attack seeing both Teddy and YB in one place, hahaha. FYI, the “HongDae District” is one of the hot spots in Seoul, Korea. Lots of trendy restaurants & happening clubs where you can hear great indie bands play. It’s also not far from the YGE office:

A Portrait of Youth
Nakata’s firm face showing his physical strength and the tension he feels. The shyness and awkwardness we see in the designer Tom Brown’s boys. The innocent physical soundness we encounter in Bruce Webber’s pictures. Wearing his jeans as low as he possibly could, TaeYang had a face showing a mixture of vanity and naïveté that were typical of a young man of his age.

“I love you, man!”: GDYB Thanking Each Other on a Radio Program

This is when Big Bang was on a radio program called “Chin Chin (Close Friends).” The DJ’s are Jung-Rin Cho and Kang In (of Super Junior). Patra’s working on the subbing of this video and you will be able to see the subbed version on youtube soon I believe. In the mean time, you can read what they say to each other below (so touching…):

My Lollipop Project Report by Oing

This is my translated version of an excerpt from “My Lollipop Project Report” posted by Oing on his/her blog. He (or she?) was one of the ad agency people who were responsible for the Lollipop project. I translated this because YG, Teddy and more importantly our YB/Taeyang were mentioned in a rather flattering manner:
