JiEun-Big Bang's stylist-talks about YB

JiEun-Big Bang's stylist-talks about YB:

"When you’re around him, you can never whine or complain."

"While he was preparing his solo album, we came to learn about his tremendous abilities and potential. Teddy, who worked on the album with him, agrees. His musical talent, entertainer’s instinct, passion and the ability to move people and convey his sincerity to people around him are TaeYang’s greatest strengths. He makes sure every staff member is taken care of and lets them know how sincerely grateful he is for what they do for him. Also when any of the YG employees leaves the company or is having a hard time because of a personal problem, he is the one who sympathizes with and/or miss them the most. I am often touched by him, thinking, 'Oh, I didn't think he would know but he did.'

"When we were shooting a music video for his solo album, we were on a tight schedule and had to work around the clock. Needless to say all of us were completely exhausted. During a break, all the staff members gathered around to complain how it was too much to handle and we couldn’t take it any longer. Then I just happened to look up and saw TaeYang quietly wiping his bloody nose, standing alone in a corner. Of course, he was the one who was working harder than anyone… We were older nunas and hyungs but were acting so immaturely. He always works and thinks things over two, three times harder than any of us.

"That is why all of us at YGE worked together toward a common goal – we all sincerely wished him to succeed. TaeYang has this extraordinary talent to move and motivate people."

G-Dragon Talks about Mr. Yang's Comparison of Big Bang Members to Trees:

"Once, Mr. Yang compared each of the Big Bang members to a different kind of saplings. He says I am like a tree that blooms brilliant flowers to attract people's attention; TOP, a tree with a thick, heavy trunk; TaeYang, a tree that grows well by itself; DaeSung, a tree that bears lots of fruits; and Seungri, a tree that will grow taller after a good pruning. I think they are really apt comparisons."

YB spotted with Teddy, Kush & Amiee

Hello, everyone! I am a 26 year old fan of YoungBae’s.

Yesterday, I went to a (Japanese) restaurant called “Teriyaki” with a few of my friends in the HongDae district. I was just looking around after we were seated and the next minute, voila! I was looking directly at Mr. Yang’s face. Then I saw Kush, Teddy and Aimee sitting next to him! And what’s more, there was our YoungBae too!!!

You know how he wears his hat tilted to the side, so I couldn't see his eyes – all I could see was his nose and chin. He was eating heartily – I just saw his jaws moving. Our YoungBae was just munching and chewing without saying anything lol.

Funny how the other people in the restaurant didn't seem to be aware of his presence. Don't they know? My friends didn’t notice it either so I told them. I was like, “Do you know TaeYang of Big Bang? He’s the one who’s eating right there. The one wearing his hat tilted to the side.” But all my friends said was, “Wow, Mr. Yang looks so much older now. Looks like a regular ajussi now.” They were only interested in Mr. Yang. T_T

Anyway, I couldn’t believe that no one in the restaurant was showing any sign that they had noticed them or trying to approach them, ask them for autographs or take pictures. As a matter of fact, there were a few - including me – who were stealing glances at them. LOL. I guess because all of us were all at least college students, we were trying to act with dignity LOL.

Well, I bought TaeYang’s album and have been to his solo concert. I love only YoungBae, so…I kept stealing glances while my heart was beating wildly. I so wanted to ask for an autograph but tried very hard to restrain myself, thinking, what if YoungBae says no and it would be a total embarrassment in front of Mr. Yang, Teddy, Kush and Aimee!

Mr. Yang was with only YoungBae, Teddy, Kush and Aimee and there were no other Big Bang members. I guess there really IS a YB project underway (shivering with expectation).

I finally saw YoungBae’s face when a waitress (or a waiter) talked to him. Oh, my! He got such fair and clear skin.

The other thing that impressed me: Our glances locked when he was tying his shoelaces after he finished his dinner and he quickly looked the other way lol. Then on his way out, he went right behind Aimee, put both of his hands on Miss Aimee’s shoulders and walked out. T_T

Mr. Yang left in his car right after and YoungBae and Aimee walked away together the other way. Wow, Mr. Dong YoungBae walking about freely in the streets…

Well, it was quite an experience for me. I never thought I would see him other than on stage – but I did!

Maybe this will be my lucky year. I felt really blessed, LOL!

Aimee was shorter than YoungBae and looked so cute and petite. Both YoungBae and Aimee are such cuties, but once they are on stage, dancing together, they turn super sexy and completely blow you away!

Anyways, whatever they are working together on, I hope we will see the “YB Project” soon.

I am an Alicia Keys fan too

August 7,2008
TaeYang who got known for his recent successful solo single “Look Only At Me” was the opening performing artiste to international pop star Alicia Keys‘ concert in Korea on 7th August in Seoul Jamsil Stadium.

The concert tour “As I Am Tour” is a much anticipated one after Alicia Keys last had it in Korea 4 years ago.

TaeYang performed the song “Prayer” and said, “We welcome everyone to Alicia Keys’ concert. I was also there at her first public performance in Korea before I debuted as a singer.” After which he performed another song “Look Only At Me”.

Gummy was the opening performing artiste for Alicia Keys’ concert 4 years ago, and there has been a lot of interest and concern with regards to who will do the opening performance this time. TaeYang was chosen for being one of the more prominent R&B acts in the Korean music scene and was requested to do the opening performance.

Other artistes who turned up at the performance were As One, J, 1Tym, Danny, Gummy, Park Jung Hyun, Stony Skunk and WonderGirls.

Taeyang is a “Man of the Year”

November 23,2008
GQ Korea released their list of the Men of the Year and this time Big Bang’s Taeyang, found himself topping the list. Here are some highlights of the interview:

Taeyang is the only member of Big Bang who hasn’t passed out or sprained anything. He attributes it to being healthy and working out often. When the interviewer jokes that it’s because he’s healthy, doesn’t drink, goes to church every week and isn’t funny Taeyang replies that he is funny. But then goes on to say that people laugh at him when he’s trying to be serious.

Further into the interview GQ asks him about his boyish image being so prominent, to which Taeyang replies, “I am worried about that too; people always see me as this same image: straightforward, constant, changeless. But I won’t always be like that.”

The mini Big Banger is also worried about falling into temptation as he gets older. Taeyang then talks about a cocktail “that you drink with straw after you light it on fire”.
