The story begin with GD created many songs but "Lies" and "Fool" were both "accused" of plagiarism. As we all know - "Lies" was cleared from the accusations and "Fool" still has no concrete evidence to it of plagiarism. So in order to thank his fans for sticking with Big Bang through many tough times, GD composed this song [w Kim Do Hyun]. This song was introduced to fans through their "Global Warming" in Busan - no "official" release yet.

GD is truly an artist.
i have no doubt about that.
Big Bang keep on fighting
we all know your lyrics
are original & you will always have our support!
♥ ya guys! ^^



Untill Whenever - Big Bang
Composed & arranged by G-Dragon & Kim Do Hyun

-- eng lyrics --

(You!)
I keep cry
(Yea, you!)
I keep lie
Something about us
This is a song for, you
Damn, what should I say?
What should I do, tell me

I avoid the warm gaze watching me (i keep cry)
You know my heart, will you wait? (i keep lie)

[Chorus]
oh baby dont cry lady (oh)
Dont forget that promise of ours (oh)
Ill take care of you until whenever
No matter how sad I am (I can only laugh)
Even though Im tired and hurt (I can only endure)
Even if you leave (I cannot catch you)
Only with your trust can we only be forever

The day when the sunlight was warm, the day when we first met
I, who looked like a fool drenched in sweat,
still remember, You shine more than anyone else,
this one girl said as she picked me up

From that moment on, 1 year, 2 years, time passed steadily (yea)
All the memories we experienced together [went by] in the blink of an eye
In that place, between you and I,
blocking and standing [up against], a wall full of hypocrisy (ah)
[T/N: in regards to the rumors of plagiarism, etc]

Although I like you, I cant approach you
When I see your pure eyes, I am afraid,
Im scared the world will snatch you away
I ask for that beautiful smile not to change, you are so

beautiful girl, you are more valuable than those jewels
You [are like] a wound that will embrace the young and delicate
I dont want to hurt your pure heart
Pray, shut your eyes and ears, Im crazy over you

[Repeat Chorus]

T O P
Whenever, wherever we were together
We were so happy, we were the world together
So we ran, on the dangerous road and fields
I, who even after falling, stood up again at the thought of you

Run looking only forward, Ill watch your back (destiny)
Spread your wings, Ill block the wind
you are the one in my life oh like an undying star
[T/N: GD quoted from his Daesang Award speech: "We will try hard to become undying stars."]

Who knew a wrong mistake would turn out like this
Who knew that you, who I lean on, would hurt this much
Only an ocean of sadness [and] dark loneliness exists
I can only cry like a little kid lost in the black darkness

baby girl dont leave
(I cant be without you, please dont leave)
baby girl dont lose your spirit
(Ill give you a bigger trust, please dont cry anymore)

[Repeat Chorus]

eh eh eh oh oh oh oh oh
Like your friend
eh eh eh oh oh oh oh oh
Like our promise
eh eh eh oh oh oh oh oh
I see only you
eh eh eh oh oh oh oh oh

I avoid the warm gaze watching me (yea yea yea)
You know my heart, will you wait? (whoa yo~)

Big Bang is finally coming to the US!

Unfortunately, it’s not to perform.

With another hectic year winding down, Big Bang’s trip to the states is to get away from hullabaloo of the Korean music industry. But it’s not all just play. The boys will also be stepping up on their English skills and learning new dance moves (what else?). However, their objective smells strongly of a potential desire for an American debut…. but for that, we’ll have to wait and see.

Not only are the Big Bang boys coming for vacationing and career development, but they are coming to support G-Dragon who is coming to America to work on his solo album with U.S. producers. No word yet on whether or not it will be an all English album like their Japanese album “Number 1″ or which side of the continent he will be residing in (our bets are on Los Angeles because label mates Danny and Teddy of 1Tym as well as Se7en are stationed there as well).

If all goes according to plan, the boys of Big Bang will be saying goodbye to Korea and hello to America sometime in February 2009. The time also marks the end of their promotional activities for the second album “Remember”.

Either way, if the boys make it to Cali, they have to try a bit of American style burgers and fries” (yum!).

TaeYang "Now that I'm 21, I'd like to have a girlfriend"


TaeYang of Big Bang who recently released his solo mini album revealed his wish to be in a relationship.

It is well known amongst Big Bang members and their fans that until now, TaeYang had not been in a relationship before. TaeYang has been training and performing under YG Entertainment since his 6th grade in elementary and had not chance to have a girlfriend and be in a relationship.

TaeYang had said "It had seemed weird even to people around me that I haven't even got the chance to have a girlfriend. But I believe that I will meet her one day - the person who will be my girlfriend and whom I will marry."

Big Bang members had teased TaeYang and his idea of pure youth of finding his true love when TaeYang brought it up.

TaeYang currently has just released his new MV "Look Only at Me", the title song of his solo mini album "Hot". The song is rising up positions fast on music sites.

His solo album is doing very well with record sales of 14,000 copies in just 4 days after release. This sales record got the number 1 spot for daytime sales.

Taeyang also revealed that "As compared to debuting as Big Bang member, I feel more nervous now. But I keep telling myself that this is my wish of having a solo album, and I have to work hard for it."

TaeYang will start the promotional performances for the title song "Look Only at Me" on 31st May on MBC Music Core.

080519 YG's Message Part II: BIGBANG
Translated by melodygreenleaf. Do not remove this entire line.

I am giving information about Big Bang's album after a long time of silence.

It's planned for Big Bang's new minialbum to be released in the middle of this coming July,
and the second full album to come out the beginning of October.

Because of the good response for "Lie" and "Last Farewell", which were released last year,
it was very pressuring to prepare for the next album..
but because of alien-like Kwon Jiyong's hard work, the work for the full album that will be released in October is already 80% done.
[*T/N: Yes. YG really did call GD "alien-like" xD]

If I were to give one more piece of anticipated information,
in the minialbum that is to be released in July, it is expected that there will be two songs made by both Daishi Dance, with who there was even a plagiarism issue, and G-Dragon together.
(including the title song^^)
[*T/N: Wow YG's probably thinking, "NOW what journalists?"]

080519 YG's Message: Taeyang's solo album!
Translated by melodygreenleaf. Do not remove this entire line.

Like how I already said, Taeyang's first solo album "Hot" will be released this Thursday (May 22nd). ^^
The title song of this minialbum, which contains six songs including "Intro", is "Look at only me", a product resulted from the collaboration of Teddy(1TYM) and Kush(Stony Skunk).

I want to say that perhaps men especially would like this album because of the SLOW R&B arrangement, and elegant lyrics that sympathize with the listener^^
[*T/N: YG wrote "SLOW R&B" in English, caps included]

It's planned for Taeyang's music video to be released to the public with the album's release this coming 22nd(Thursday) in two parts for the title song "Look at only me" and "Pray" at the same time.

When we look at Big Bang's new album release date, it seems impossible for Taeyang to promote a second song, so he will be performing two songs at the same time;
we ended up working with Cha Eun Taek PD, who also oversaw Big Bang's "Lie" MV, for title song "Look at only me…
and "Suh Hyun Seung" PD for "Pray" after a long time..^^
[*T/N: "After a long time" is a very bad translation. YG's saying that it's been a long time since he last worked with Suh Hyun Seung PD]

Taeyang's solo album first stage will be at Big Bang's Daegu concert, which is this Saturday(May 24th).
(Daegu fans~ Congrats ㅋㅋ)

For the record, TV broadcast activities are planned to begin the next week on May 31st.

I've noticed fans' dissatisfaction in that the solo album did not come out with the name "Dong Youngbae",
as expected, I normally use "Youngbae", so it's not like I have a bias towards special names or am stubborn about using special names,
but much of the work (album jacket design and the name that appears in the recorded lyrics) is already done...
Sorry ㅜㅜ

I request for a lot of support for Taeyang's.. Dong Youngbae's... first solo activities by all means.
