many of you have emailed me “updates” about things coming out, etc.
thanks for telling me, i already know about these things, but i just don’t find it worth making a single post for.
but since i’ve gotten similar emails from a number of you, i decided to put together an update post.
Summer is gonna be quiet for BB. not much going on, so i guess when i have a couple of things to talk about, i’ll be making these “update” posts. in fact, writing this makes me wanna call these “in case you didn’t know” posts instead, b/c VIPz are supposed to be in the loop, riiiight? har har.
1. 2NE1 = YG’s NEW POSTER GROUP
i mean 2NE1 = the new HOT group. the IT group. i think YG has planned out their debut, activities, etc. real well. they’ve blossomed into not only a respectable GIRL GROUP, but a GROUP that has hit songs in their arsenal. the tracks on their new mini-album are legit, & their next single, I DON’T CARE is a smash. click for the MV!
promotions for their next single is to begin on July 10th on KBS MUSIC BANK. Check out the new MESSAGE FROM YG for more on this (which i will be translating shortly, aka in a few hrs, but i’ve already relayed to you most of its contents in this update).
in case you didn’t know… the plan is to have 2NE1 headline a concert by the end of the year. what big goals!
tidbit: you can get a glimpse into the daily lives of 2NE1 members on their Mnet show “2NE1 TV.” check out the schedule on VIPTrans, i think it’s on Wednesdays, Korean time? bb appears on it from time to time. go figure.
i expect great success from 2NE1, as their mini-album sales have almost reached 50k, as well as their new single on top of the music charts already.
2. G.D.R.A.G.O.N.
our kwon leadah is turning 21 soon. it’s also the day when his long-awaited solo album is expected to come out. of course, it’s gonna be good!
a tidbit: we know that jiyong’s been working closely w/ 2NE1, but where’s his stuff on the mini-album?!
the stuff on 2NE1’s mini-album were worked on mainly by TEDDY & KUSH, with some contributions from MASTA WU as well.
however, GD’s work will be featured on 2NE1’s 1st full album, set to come out in OCTOBER. wow, 2ne1 still pops up in the section for GD.
…in case you didn’t know.
jiyong’s doing well. just had to say that. haha. what am i gonna do for his birthday? i just don’t know yet. SIGH.
3. BIG BANG 2nd JAP SINGLE
bb’s officially hit the japanese music scene by switching to a major label in japan. w/ the recent release of their 1ST SINGLE ft. a “heaven” remake, w/ new track “emotion” (bleh), their 2ND SINGLE, which features “GARA GARA GO!” & another new track “TOP OF THE WORLD” was released on july 8th.

better than the first.
there’s a korean version of GARA GARA GO!… in case you didn’t know.
the only thing that changed is the chorus. it’s in korean. yipee.

i actually like GARA GARA GO. in fact, i think it’s the first japanese song from them that i ACTUALLY LIKE! gasp. they actually made a good jap song. their other song, however, i don’t really like. it’s too slow for me.
but then again, i’m not really into their jap promotions. my personal opinion.
stay tuned for lyric translations… VIPTrans is slowly working on it (as well as 2NE1 stuff!)
