A Taiwanese Show Mistakes JYJ’s Junsu For A Pig!

 Photo Credit: Wo Ai Hei She Bang Bang Tang

During the November 28th episode of Wo Ai Hei She Bang Bang Tang, the show had a corner where the guests tried to guess photos of various stars.

A warped picture of JYJ’s Junsu was one of the photos and the clue given was that he was a “Korean Star.”
When the guests showed their guesses, one of the girls had written “Kim Pig” instead of “Kim Junsu.”

Even the hosts were taken aback and asked her what she meant by “Kim Pig.” The girl kept repeating that Junsu’s nose resembles a pig.

Everyone in the studio was surprised and although they were laughing, they said things like “what is she saying?” “she’s done for!”

[Thanks to Tina Xu for the translations]
While this may have been done for laughs, did they go too far with their remarks?

The girl’s answer can be seen from 4:26.

G-Dragon & T.O.P will be promoting Triple-Title Song

Popular male group Big Bang members, G-Dragon and Top, will be starting on their promotional activities next month as a duo unit of the group. Officials from the music industry will be keeping a close eye on the duo consisting of Top and G-Dragon (who had debuted his solo album before).

On 29th November, YG Entertainment staff updated their YG daily blog with several breaking news, Big Bang will make their comeback on 1st February, G-Dragon and Top’s duo unit album which will be released during this coming December.

It was not as surprising when YG stated the comeback date of Big Bang as Top was seen with a anime-like hairstyle during the recent ’31st Blue Dragon Film Awards’.

However, many fans were exceptionally surprised at the fact that G-Dragon and Top will be releasing an album together as a duo. Since their first single album in 2006, the two of them has never been seen performing together as a duo, instead, G-Dragon was seen working on Taeyang’s album while supporting the other members.

The news was also grabbing the attention because of the upcoming album. Different units have been formed under popular groups like Super Junior, Girl’s Generation and many more, but it was not common of them to be releasing a full studio album.

Following the duo album, the youngest member, Seungri, will also be releasing his digital single in January before starting the official comeback activities of Big Bang.
Just like 2NE1 who had been given a triple-title song strategy, YG will be using the ‘Separated but together’ strategy for Big Bang which will be expected to last for 4 months.

It is surprising that the duo unit will be part of the whole plan. “The duo will be following the triple-title song just like 2NE1″ and “Fans will anticipate and pay even more attention when there's only two person singing in their world.” a YG representative said.

The duo had actually performed one of the track ‘Bbeokigayo’ in their upcoming album during ’2010 MAMA’ on 28th November. G-Dragon and Top showed their stage charisma by wearing black suits rapping to their new song, causing an instant rise in atmosphere. The album will include a total of 11 new songs.

Meanwhile, Big Bang along with other YG artists will be holding their ’2010 YG Family Concert’ in Seoul Olypmic Gymnastics Stadium on 4th December.

YG Entertainment announces Big Bang comeback

Top Korean agency YG Entertainment has announced that boy band Big Bang will make their long-awaited comeback to the local music scene, as their original five-member band and also through solo and duo albums.

YG's CEO and founder Yang Hyuk-suk wrote on the official YG Life blog site (http://www.yg-life.com) on Monday that members G-Dragon and T.O.P will be the first to return, releasing songs "High High" and "Oh Yeah" on December 15 as a duo while their full-length album, featuring 11 tracks, will hit stores a week later.


Yang then wrote that member Seungri will follow next with the release of his solo digital single on January 3 and the boys will make their full-fledged comeback as Big Bang on February 1.

Last week, YG Life had unveiled a digital clock timer indicating that an announcement was going to be made over the weekend which fans and industry sources speculated as the return of Big Bang or the official U.S. debut of girl group 2NE1.

Big Bang, discovered and trained by major talenthouse YG Entertainment, is known as one of the biggest names in the Korean pop industry, releasing hit songs "Dirty Cash," "With U," "Lies" and "Haru Haru."

The last album that the group released in Korea was "REMEMBER," featuring the title track "Red Sunset" two years ago.

The group then successfully crossed over to the Japanese music market in June of last year with their debut single "My Heaven" which reached No. 3 on the prestigious Oricon daily singles chart and toured three cities in the country which attracted a total of 60,000 fans.

They have released other singles in Japan such as "Tell Me Goodbye" and "Beautiful Hangover" and performed on the main stage at the Summer Sonic Festival this August.

Big Bang is currently gearing up for the "2010 YG Family Concert" to be held on December 4 and 5 with fellow labelmates 2NE1, Gummy and Psy.
