Producer Sean (of YG’s Jinusean) said about hoobaes Big Bang and 2NE1, “Instead giving them the label ‘idols,’ it’s better to call them extremely talented ‘artistes’ and kids.”
On August 16th, Sean will be appearing on MBS’s Entertainment Interview, during which he talks about his views on YG Entertainment’s Big Bang and 2NE1: “If we’re talking about any unique qualities of our company’s idol groups, it’s best and more reasonable to say that they’re just kids who really, sincerely love music.”
Sean said, “When compared to ‘idols,’ the regular audience that follows Big Bang and 2NE1 also tends to look at them as ‘artistes.’” “When talking about ‘idols,’ usually we just connect them to pretty faces and outer appearance, but recent idol groups all have a lot of talent. From the outer appearance to inner talent…”
Sean also says, “Ever since Big Bang was young, I’ve been watching them grow up. G-Dragon and Taeyang even more so, since they entered the company at a young age, when they were in 5th grade. Watching these kids grow up and mature, and now watching them become our country’s national representative group, and seeing their impression on others, there’s really a feeling of ‘if someone really has the talent and sincerity, there will always be people who acknowledge them,’ these kinds of thoughts.”
Sean adds, “When regular people their age would be playing, because these kids instead sacrificed all the things that they would have been able to experience and threw their whole heart and body into music, in the future they will definitely have good results.”

[INFO] YG’s contradicting answers, “‘Heartbreaker’ purely GDragon’s work” vs “Collaborate producing with Swiss producer”

Group Big Bang GDragon has once again been entangled in the issues of plagiarism. He released a 30s preview to the title song ‘Heartbreaker’ to his first solo album to be released on 18th August on 11st August on me2day site.
The song was said to have plagiarised ‘Right Round’ by American hiphop singer Flo Rida released in February having sounded the same.
But what’s confusing now is that YG claims that the song is not purely produced by GDragon but is a collaboration work between GDragon and a Swiss producer.
Purely GDragon’s creation VS collaborate production work? Problem lies in YG’s contradicting answers
Initially YG’s refutation to the accusations to plagiarisms on 11th August was that “The song ‘Heartbreaker’ is not plagiarised work but purely GDragon’s works.” But on the 12th, YG’s explanations seems to have changed a little said, “GDragon’s solo album is like what has been so far, collaborate composition. Title song ‘Heartbreaker’ is a collaboration composition between GDragon and a Swiss producer.”
“For the production of GDragon’s solo album, there is a newly added producer to do lyrics and composing. When ‘Heartbreaker’ is revealed in full, accusations for plagiarisms will not stand.”
Many are curious as to why YG’s explanations to the issue changed in just 1 day. Media says that the reason why YG is doing so is to avoid more accusations of plagiarism that GDragon has been receiving so far.
Meanwhile, here’s the album cover and tracklist to GDragon’s first solo album.

Album: ‘Heartbreaker’

[NEWS] Big Bang GDragon plagiarises with ‘Heartbreaker’? “It’s just a preview, please wait for the full song”

Big Bang GDragon’s solo title song ‘Heartbreaker’ has been said to have plagiarised other’s music.
GDragon released the preview to his solo album title song ‘Heartbreaker’ at about 5pm on 11th August which he has set to reveal on 12th initially, a 30seconds preview on me2day site.
The reason to releasing the previews were said to let fans know of some of the music to be included in his first solo album to be released on 18th August. But with the reveal of ‘Heartbreaker’ there has been debates that it plagiarises Flo Rida’s ‘Right Round’.
Netizens went, “Just 30 seconds revealed but it sounds exactly the same”, “Even though there are similarities, the melody is different” etc
With that YG Entertainment said, “Now we only revealed just 30 seconds to the song, it is ridiculous to call it plagiarism. ‘Heartbreaker’ did not plagiarise other’s music. Please look forward to the full song.”

[NEWS] With nasal bone injured, DaeSung will not participate for press call for ‘Shouting’
After breaking the news earlier about Big Bang's Daesung being injured in a car accident, it appears although his condition isn't that good right now, he's not in any serious danger at the moment. But definitely not fit for work.
According to YG Entertainment, "Big Bang's Daesung has suffered a nose fracture and this was the same part that he had injured when he was little. There's also some alignment problem with Daesung's spinal cord although that will clear up by itself in about 4 weeks time. Other that that, Daesung also suffered superficial injuries on his face and arms. His arm which was reported to be injured earlier on, was a non-issue after check-up."
YG explained what happened, "Daesung was on his way back home from the site of the filming location of Family Outing at around 4. While cruising along the highway near Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi province, there was a lot of water accumulated on the road because of heavy rain, which caused the vehicle to skid and crash onto the divider. Daesung was sitting beside the driver (his manager), while his coordinator sat behind."
Daesung's manager suffered superficial injuries on his hands and a leg injury and will receive further treatment in Seoul. The coordinator suffered severe bleeding on the leg but luckily there was no damage to the nerves, and will be fine after an operation. Daesung and his manager will return to Seoul for further treatment while the coordinator will go through an operation tonight because of her severe injuries.
YG Entertainment has announced that Daesung will require 4 - 6 weeks of recuperation time and will not be taking part in anything for the next month or so. He will also miss the Shouting musical which starts on 12th August (till 23rd), tomorrow. At this juncture, we wish Daesung, his manager and coordinator a speedy recovery.
