Lee Min-Ho, who is currently taking a break after finishing his drama, is greatly anticipated by fans, as this would be his first time directly meeting them, as part of Etude House. While girlgroup, 2NE1, who is also on hiatus as they are preparing for their full album, is expected to have a passionate stage for this special occasion.
In addition to the 2NE1 concert, plus the Etude make-up campaign, there are also other activities lined up, like photo sessions, and the appearance of a popular DJ, which is sure to guarantee a fun summer night.

T.O.P “Ah, I really don’t want to become sensible…”
Reminder: TOP’s Star Diary series is written in his point of view, as if he is writing a journal entry.
I’m starting to feel the horror of war from filming Into the Gunfire. A bomb explodes just a few steps in front of me. It’s a different feeling from filming a drama.
Eye expression is important. I have to empty myself and convey student soldier lieutenant Oh Jang Bum to the audience. I think all the times I stood on stage as Big Bang is helping with my eye expression in acting. It’s because there were many times when I would convey my emotion to the audience with my eyes on stage. Conveying my own emotions to others in this way is what gives me the most joy.
On this movie set, I’m the youngest. I’ve started to get to know my seniors. They are carrying and guiding me, who knows nothing, who is ridiculous. Filming with all men is fun. I get envious of my seniors and the the stability they find with their families. I hadn’t ever thought of marriage before. Seeing my seniors, I’ve started to really think that I want to get married. Is it because I’m lonely.
But work is still first. I want to lose my mind in my work when I’m young. I want to go with the flow. Freedom is the most important thing that I’m made up of. I think filming this movie has increased my sensitivity. My personality has changed a lot too. Should I say that I’ve learned how to see through a child’s eyes. On the other hand, I feel like my inner self is slowly growing. Hanging out with my seniors is starting to make me more sensible. Ah, I don’t want to become sensible…
Thanks to seungie

Taeyang’s Picture & Song Teaser for SOLAR
It was recently announced that Taeyang’s album SOLAR teasers will be released out in a week, but photos and the title of his track was already unleashed via the YG website!
In a white polo undershirt and with what looks like a red jacket, his photo depicts a warm feeling so much different from his melancholic “Wedding Dress” aura. A signature logo that seems to symbolize the sun can also be seen on the picture. After all, SOLAR means SUN, and Taeyang is the Korean word for it.
This album is going to be another unique production because not so many R&B artist produces such vibrant elements of freedom in their albums with that so much colors and brightness as what we see in the picture.
The two tracks in the album are entitled, “SOLAR” as the intro made by Choice37 and the other is “SUPERSTAR” with the lyrics and arrangement made by Teddy. Both names of the tracks is depicting his identity as Taeyang.
The released photo featured his side profile, a popped up collar of white undershirt and his name written in a baroque style.
As of the moment, there is already a prediction that this album is going to be big as that of GD’s Heartbreaker with which an apple is used as the album logo.
This time, Taeyang also did the same thing of trying to represent himself using the “Sun” as a logo. What better way should he present his album, but with a star that may seems like it is the center of the universe, a star shining so brightly, just like his smile and his lovable personality.
Way to go Taeyang! And people grab a copy of the album when it comes out! Twelve more days of waiting…

YG Family to Heat Up This Summer
Big Bang, 2NE1, Se7en, and even Gummy. YG Family is heating up this summer in the idol world. As the representative of Yang Hyunseok expressed, it’s finally time for the “YG forces to mobilize themselves”.
Ever since last year July when 2NE1 released their mini album, YG Family has not released an offline album (T/N: I think the author of the article made an error – Gummy did release an offline album & Big Bang had their Japanese activities.). With popular idols Big Bang and 2NE1 , as well as Se7en, Gummy, and other top solo artists, the great agency has been on hiatus for one year. Why?
The reason is simple. Yang Hyunseok representatives said “It’s important that our artists succeed with properly composed contents. The YG members have had sufficient time and made new songs and practiced them. In the first half of this year, the reason that there were no properly-made, hit songs was because the contents were simply led by fans demands were insufficient”, “Starting in July, this will all change with the comeback of the YG artists.”
At the climax of the productions, not only is there the main producers of YG – Teddy and Perry, but also special long-term special artists from America that are producing for YG artists. “Previously, even offering them large amounts of money, these are prominent artists who wouldn’t accept the offers”, “However seeing Big Bang and 2NE1, they were impressed. They expressed how even if they were to debut in the American market, they would be incomparable.”
At the sound of the signal, one by one, they’ll be charging at full speed and are planning to take the idol world by storm.
It’s also almost time for 2NE1 to comeback. In the music market, saturated with girl groups that all have similar styles, it is certain that 2NE1 will stimulate their fans with a powerful, destructive force with their comeback, using a combined force of their skill and individuality. These girls, who appeared at Big Bang’s Japanese concert as guests, already are advancing into the world market, starting with their Japanese speaking and receiving high praise from the Japanese audience.
The music market is melting in the heat of the World Cup, with YG Family’s reappearances beginning in July, it seems like it will regain its energy and return interest to the idol world.

398 Days: A Quiescent World Without 2NE1
398 Days or 56 Weeks and 6 Days…
That is the exact number of days that fans have been waiting for the return of our favorite KPop super rookies.
The spectacular mix of of sound that are uniquely their own, the bizarre display of colorful costumes that have become their signature, the bombastic live stage performance that drives fans dancing and singing along with them – we miss 2NE1.
We laughed with them in their happiest times, we cried with them when they shed tears of happiness for the success they achieved, we even shouts “Nolja!” with them when we wanted them to do well, and most importantly, we are there for them through everything and anything for 398 days now.
It seems like yesterday when we cheered for them when they blew the candles of the cake that symbolized their 100th day. They’ve grown so much from that day…
Seeing them perform is like watching the resurrection of what we call “Girl Power”, in the real sense of the words. A year later, although the girls are mostly missing in action, the mention of their names brings sparkles in our eyes and smiles in our faces. We have quiet some wonderful, funny and happy times with them.
Fans love them so much that we don’t really mind giving them the most expensive and luxurious gifts, and that is because they never fail to show us their love.
Updating her me2day almost daily, we are very much thankful to Dara for always being there when the cravings are way too much, when it feels like we could no longer stand waiting.
Even just a simple peek at stalker pictures of them makes the excitement even more worse. It is almost unbearable anymore. It is not the duration of the wait that is painstaking but the thoughts of uncertainties – when, what, how, why. So many questions, there are no clues for the answer.
Without them, it is one quiet world, void of life, of those hearty laughters, of colors and everything else that is 2ne1.
There are speculations here and everywhere, antis and lovers… – still, we miss 2NE1…
Please come back soon!

Big Bang on Television Mag: Editor’s Comments
T.O.P
T.O.P
“Please Propose To Me At A Quiet Place”
T.O.P completed most of his shots, such as holding a mug cup, in a cool and fashion-model-like sense.
However, when we passed him the cat-shaped cushion, he showed the above mild expression (↑) as if he was holding something he truely loved.
We prepared five kinds of flowers including gerberas and dahlias for the shooting. He chose the red rose out directly! With the rose, he showed us a variety of charismatic poses such as kissing and winking to the flower.
Taeyang
SOL
No Matter Females or Males, I Look At Their Eyes First
Taeyang appeared at the studio wearing sunglasses.
When we asked him,’ Could we take your photos without the sunglasses?’
He was a bit embarrassed but answered politely in Japanese:’Can I take several shots with these (sunglasses) first, and then without them?’
When it was his turn to do the shot with the flowers, Taeyang chose the sunflower and did a pose which he pressed the flower against the wall. The unique idea made everyone laugh.
Daesung
D-Lite
I Will Check Girls’ Smiling Faces
Daesung is the energetic member who shared with us his many expression.
When we requested him to ‘Show a happy face!’, he made a cute and bright smile in fron of us. A smile that looked pure and innocent.(↑)
His other random expressions were also glamorous! He even showed us his cool face when we asked him for a cool pose.
Yet, during the next shot, he amused the staff by puffing out his cheeks while showing us his biceps.
Seungri
V.I
I Will Not Leave My Mobile Because I Cannot Stand Being Alone
When Seungri saw the monkey speaker that was playing Big Bang’s music, he immediately did the same pose for us.
Nevertheless, maybe he found it difficult to remain standing so he soon started to explore his surroundings restlessly. He moved a chair from nearby to the shooting spot by himself and also tried several times to mimic the monkey’s poses.
Out of all the colourful glasses laid on the table, Seungri chose the black ones. How do you find Seungri in this boy-with-glasses fashion?
We think that suits him!
G-Dragon
I Like Girls Who Work Hard For Their Jobs!
He may look shy, but G-Dragon is actually the one with the most number of different poses.
When showing his expressions for a series of emotions:sadness, anger, surprise and happiness, he would do poses such as holding his head, and screaming.
When we asked him, ‘Please show the expression when you fall in love.’
He replied, ‘That (request) is just what I want!’ while starting to put his hands together in front of his mouth. Those actions were really cute.
To accompany the monkey softtoy which would shake its head according to the rythm of music, G-Dragon also shook his head left and right~

Remembering SO-1 [B2st/Beast] and His Message to Big Bang
There were little things in our past that no matter how much we try to forget, they keep on haunting, but one day, we may be able to look back and realize they were something big or they have made quiet an impact making us what we are today.
This guy certainly have lots of memories in the past. He was able to see yesterday, and now that he has been living today, he certainly has no more fears of what is in store for him in the future. The path is certainly clear, not down but up.
Remember SO-1? We all know he had been at one point a part of Big Bang and the YG Family of artists. Who did not shed a tear the day he left? It was a painful memory to recall even for viewers and fans, how much more to him?
It is a relief though that he was able to find theright path towards happiness. In his own words, he doesn’t really need anything but a place where he could enjoy his music and a dance floor where he could get his groove on.
He is now a member of B2st/Beast, and although it is still a new band still trying to create their own mark in the industry, they are gaining lots of popularity. They have just recently visited the Philippines, and had their successful concert.
In the two albums that were released, SO-1 did not fail to give thanks to his friends and former colleagues, Big Bang.
1st album:
Now my big time sunbaes in the music industry! BIGBANG!!!^^ Because it was out of love, I always bothered Jiyong hyung nonstop! Youngbae hyung the solo singer who is full of win! Turtle Seunghyun hyung! Daesung who I laughed in watching Family Outing! Seunghyun ah (referring to Seungri), you’re the best kekeke! Sunbaenim~ Look out for me and be nice to me in trying hard^^
2nd album:
BIG BANG! From head to toe they’re stylish~ Busy jiyong hyung and Youngbae hyung, who’s artist mindset I’d like to have. I’m going to be like hyung someday… ^^ Seunghyun hyung who reserved tuna, Daesung who has a lot of talents, and Seunghyunnie who has lots of confidence!

TV Guide’s Featured Series – Tell Me T.O.P
Vol.1 Tell Me More About T.O.P
T.O.P: At the beginning, I have never imagined that Big Bang could be so widely received in Japan. On one hand, I was worried that our Korean fans might feel lonely after we left for Japan. On the other hand, I wondered if we could become popular in Japan since our music style seemed to be different compared to Japanese artists.
However, probably due to our uniqueness and our unrestrained performances on the stage, we are able to be accepted as the new image which contrasts against the mainstream fashion.
Our music nowadays attracts more music lovers as well as male fans. I am thankful to their supports!!
T.O.P’s Q&A
① Which song would you like to share with your beloved one?
Gara Gara GO!!.
I want to build up a relationship that my lover and I could help each other during difficult times. With the flow of Gara Gara GO!! Hopefully we can spend a happy life together.
② Is there any Japanese song in your i-pod?
I do not put Japanese songs in my i-pod. I like La mer by Nine Inch Nails.
③ What is the moment that makes you think you are the coolest?
I would say moments when I am performing. Times when I am on the stage or in the scope of the camera.
In normal life… I think I am just so so
④ If you were a girl, who would you choose to be your lover amongst the members?
This question! Really~ I’ve been asked about the same question for many times. The answer is myself.
⑤ What do you think is the cute part of Japanese/Korean girls?
Japanese girls are able to express their own characteristics freely. However, they know the means to protect themselves and are more careful than they appear to be.
In contrast, Korean girls may look confined but they actually have more bolding ideas than one could imagine. I find them cool.
⑥ Where would you go for a date?
Daikanyama! It’s a place with few people. I want to have afternoon tea in one of the stylish cafes there. Moreover, you can find elegant wine bars there. Isn’t it great to have a date at the open terrace of an Italian wine bar?
⑦ What attracts your attention in Japanese convenient stores?
(After hearing SOL’s answer “Tamago” (eggs), he wanted to make it rhyme, so he answered:) For me, “Tabacco”. I’m just kidding!
⑧Among all curries sold in CoCo Ichibanya* (the favourite of the five of them), which topping do you like?
Though I will definitely eat CoCo Ichi’s curry if we come to Japan, I am not a huge fan of curry. Therefore, I am not particular with the types of topping. Something simple would be fine.
⑨ What do you always have in your bag?
Dior Homme fragrance. I’ve been using it for many years.
⑩ What do you think you will become in 10 years time?
I believe I’ll be a person who always care about the others regardless of being an artist or an actor.
I want to become someone who can live up on expectations. Someone who stands at the top just like my name T.O.P.
* Note: CoCo Ichibanya, is the largest chain among Japanese curry restaurants in Japan.

A Closer Look at a Man who is T.O.P
Choi Seung Hyun, from the popular Korean boy group, Big Bang, also known as T.O.P/Tempo showed a different side of himself when he starred in a war movie that has newly been released. It looks like the young musician have realized his childhood dream of becoming an actor.
TOP in his younger years is just like an ordinary kid, getting himself his own personal battles inculcating within him a certain type of fear…but the fear of it has been gone, that he gained more confidence when he finished filming “Into the Fire”. He surely learned a lot from his sunbaes who spent decades mastering the art.
Outside, he would look like a wolf ready to devour anyone in his most piercing gaze and a seemingly cold demeanor, but his true form is a gentle sheep behind his tough, strong facade. Standing along with the other four popular members, he is the quiet guy who would rather stay at the back while the others speaks out.
An interview was released by ASIAE in the diary section of the site, exploring his feelings, his thoughts and his real self. In the interview, he stated that he showed his most genuine self when he filmed the movie.
He was greatly absorbed into the character of Lt. Oh Jang Bum — a boy with a lot of uncertainties of tomorrow, a boy with a lot of burdens and loads he has to carry on his shoulders. TOP felt that same pressure growing up mature in a very short time.
T.O.P unexpectedly is a very eloquent guy, with deep emotions and a sincere, sensitive character. He would utter words that aren’t even found on the lyrics of his rap parts, sharing some complex fragments of his mind.
The man that is T.O.P is an imaginary being, someone the young Seung Hyun drew in his head, someone he created, someone that he is himself but with a separate entity. The guy is the tough, arrogant-looking, a smooth talker and a rapper — a counterpart of the humble, sensitive and mature guy answering the interview. We love that coolness and hotness that is T.O.P! Nonetheless, he is the same guy who is behind this beautiful piece of art.
Could this be the other side of him that he was looking for as shown in the Big Bang documentary?
The unique thing of being a guy with a dual character is that his musical side has been mixed with his ability to act in front of the camera, thus he delivers much more than what we expected. As well all know, this side of him did not surface before, this one is definitely not the T.O.P that are driving fans to go screaming when he is rocking the stage.
He is the same guy with complicated thoughts and yet he would manage to write down lyrics for others to give their own meanings to what he has written. He has a creative mind, and growing up into a more mature person, and knowing how high his musical capability is, he seeks into the world of music seeing it in a different light, a fresh new one with lots of fusions.
I’m going to extend my view, and I want each and every song to be like a different album. I hope it is able to communicate with the public and I want to write unique lyrics. As I grow attachment to the album, I feel like my responsibility to it is growing as well.
Moreover, he doesn’t let himself be controlled by the public, instead he shares something unique about his music, that whatever he does, he turns and switch it into something big. Their president has lots of confidence in him.
With a great company backing him up, with good friends and brothers that are always behind him, and wonderful 2NE1 sisters to support him. TOP is definitely on the top of the world.
Note: This article is supposed to be about Into the Fire hitting #1 at the box office but since there are a lot of TOP feeds lately, I decided to convert this one into a more meaningful article. Enjoy!

Taeyang, to release 1st full-length album in July
Taeyang of popular idol group Big Bang will be releasing his first full-length album titled “Solar” in July, according to agency YG Entertainment.
The singer made the surprise announcement on the agency’s official website (www.ygfamily.com) and his homepage (www.ygbigbang.com/taeyang) on Wednesday morning.
“Taeyang put his best efforts into making this first studio album,” explained an official at YG in the online post. “He wanted it to contain the music he had wanted to make for the past ten years, ever since he decided to become a singer at the age of thirteen.”
“Solar” will be produced in two versions — an ordinary version and a Deluxe Edition, the latter being a 30,000-copy limited version which will carry eleven regular songs plus Taeyang’s previous singles “Prayer” and “Look Only At Me” as bonus tracks.
Although the record won’t be out in stores until July 1 (for Deluxe edition) and July 8 (ordinary edition), every track from the new album will be unveiled, one song a day, on Taeyang’s website (www.ygbigbang.com/taeyang) from June 25 through June 30.
Born Dong Young-bae, Taeyang was the first Big Bang member to debut as a solo artist, releasing his first mini-album “HOT” in May 2008. The album produced two hit singles “Prayer” and “Look Only at Me”.
His digital singles “Wedding Dress” and “Where U At,” released last November, will be included in the upcoming album.
The title track from the new record and its music video will be revealed through various online music sites on July 1.

Editor’s Comment [Update to G-Dragon's Part]
G-Dragon:
I like girls who work hard for their jobs!
He may look shy, but G-Dragon is actually the one with the most number of different poses.
When showing his expressions for a series of emotions:sadness, anger, surprise and happiness, he would do poses such as holding his head, and screaming. (An imitation of the famous painting, ‘The Scream’ )
When we asked him, ‘Please show the expression when you fell in love.’
He replied, ‘That (request) is just what I want!’ while starting to put his hands together in front of his mouth. Those actions were really cute.
To accompany the monkey softtoy which would shake its head according to the rythm of music, G-Dragon also shook his head left and right~

To Be Continued*
