Since 2007 also known as Bigbang Vol. 1 was the first Korean album by the South Korea boy band Big Bang, released by YG Entertainment. Some of the songs were written and composed by the members themselves, most notably G-Dragon. The album includes the group’s first three singles.
Hot Issue is the second Korean EP by South Korean boy band Big Bang, released under YG Entertainment.
Big Bang’s first EP Always boosted the group’s popularity to a new high. The group’s leader, 20-year-old G-Dragon produced and wrote the lyrics for all six the tracks on Hot Issue.
With U is BIGBANG’s 2nd Japanese mini-album. As their first Japanese mini-album For the World, all the songs are English versions of the original Korean songs, except for “Mad About You” which is sung in mixed English and Japanese, and “My Girl” which is sung in Japanese. Both were their first Japanese recorded songs. Only one new song was recorded for the mini-album “With U”.
BIGBANG 4th Mini-Album is BIGBANG’s fourth Korean mini-album. It was released as their Korean comeback, as it was the first release that they would actively promote in Korea since the release of their first Japanese album Number 1 (October 2008). As apposed to YG Entertainment’s 2010-2011 trend to promote more than one track at once, only the song “Tonight” was used as lead track, however, all the songs were performed on different stages at some point, with even a 1-hour comeback special program on SBS.
Two months after BIGBANG 4th Mini-Album, a special repackaged version of the mini-album was also released, BIGBANG Special Edition. This would be BIGBANG’s first repackaged release, and instead of only including a few new songs, YG decided to release it as a new compilation album with a 100 page photobook. BIGBANG Special Edition only included three songs from the original mini-album, “Tonight”, “Cafe” and “Somebody to Love”. It also included three new songs, “Love Song” and “Stupid Liar” which were used as lead tracks, and Daesung’s solo “BABY DON’T CRY”. Additionally, the album also includes a collection of the solo songs released by GD & TOP, Taeyang and Seungri before their come-back as BIGBANG.
Idol group Big Bang singer Taeyang’s first solo concert has been rescheduled for September 25 and 26, according to his agency YG Entertainment’s CEO Yang Hyun-suk on Tuesday.
The concert, originally set for September 4 and 5, had been postponed “for more time to perfect things for the show” with the singer being busy with promotional work in Japan and shooting a commercial with his five-man band.
Korea’s leading international stars BoA and Seven will be performing at Incheon Korean Music Wave 2010 next month, along with 14 other Korean musicians.
The concert will take place at Incheon Munhak World Cup Stadium on Aug. 29, at 7 p.m. The Incheon-sponsored event is also supported by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
