New GD&TOP Logo and album cover design
Hello. This is YG Entertainment.
Thank you for giving so much love to the GD&TOP 1st Album that was released last year on December 24th.
The GD&TOP bunny logo was mentioned many times in GD&TOP’s interviews because the logo was designed as an image of a bunny’s ears combined with the victory “V” hand sign, based on the Playboy Enterprises International Inc.’s bunny logo.
However, the company did not receive permission regarding the original bunny logo trademark rights that belongs to Playboy, so it has no association with Playboy’s work.
The company has considered the confusion from the issue and has received a polite request from Playboy Inc., and accordingly, we have decided to no longer use GD&TOP’s bunny logo.
Sales of the GD&TOP album that used the bunny logo will be halted, and the release of a NEW COVER Ver. with a new logo is planned for July.
We ask for everyone’s interest and support for the newly designed GD&TOP 1st Album New COVER Ver. (same content as the existing version) to be released in July.
Thank you!!

Lawyer: Daesung may recieve minor, lesser conviction in motorcyclist's death
MANILA, Philippines – Following the declaration of the Seoul Yeong Deung Po Police last June 24 that tagged Big Bang member Daesung as the suspect in the death of a motorcyclist that her ran over with his car last May 31, thousands of fans are asking what will happen to the K-pop idol. Daesung has been indicted without detention. The case is now with Korean prosecutors who will determine what laws have been violated and what charges will be filed against the singer.Korean media said that Daesung is facing up to five years in prison and a fine of 20 million won (about P803,000).
Bulletin Entertainment sought the opinion of an American lawyer in Seoul regarding Daesung’s case and he says that the singer may end up getting minor and lesser punishment.Lawyer Michael Sawyer, who works at the Department of Law at Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea, said if the incident happened in the US, Daesung would probably be charged with two crimes: speeding (a less serious crime) and criminally negligent homicide/manslaughter.The Korean police and the National Forensic Service investigations showed that the victim, Hyun, who was lying on the road after his motorcycle hit a lamppost, died after Daesung’s car ran over him. It was also shown that Daesung was speeding, driving at 70 to 80 km per hour, beyond the limit of 60 km per hour.Sawyer, who is a practicing attorney in the US and not in South Korea, said criminally negligent homicide/manslaughter can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances and state law (if the crime occurred in the US).He said in the US, there would be at least two legal issues. The first is whether Daesung’s careless inattention/negligence to keep a clear lookout onto the road in front of his car contributed to the accident.The second is if his speeding contributed to the accident, Sawyer said. The Korean police said the victim’s body was dragged by Daesung’s car to about 22.8 meters.He said Daesung’s stature and lack of a prior criminal record will work to his advantage.“However, perhaps in part due to his fame and lack of a prior criminal record, I suspect that he will walk, perhaps with some minor/lesser conviction on his record,” Sawyer said.In addition, the payment of “blood money” to the family of the victim may reduce Daesung’s punishment, Sawyer said.The offer of “blood money,” often brokered by the police, is recognized by the Korean legal system to reduce the punishment of an offender. The mere offering of “blood money” is seen by the legal system as a sign of remorse and can reduce one’s sentence.“There would probably be a similar result in the USA less the blood money,” Sawyer said.Other circumstances may work on Daesung’s favor. After the accident, Daesung did not flee the crime scene and cooperated with the police by going to the police station to give his statement. He also passed a breathalyzer test that declared that he was not under the influence when the car accident happened.Due to the accident, Daesung will not be participating in any activity until the end of the year, YG Entertainment announced.

LG mini Big Concert photos
LG mini Big concert (Fan account)
I think I should write something about what I have seen today== If I write what I have actually seen, perhaps I will make people sad.
Kwon Jiyong went out with a pair of sunglasses and he was in black. He took off his sunglasses later but he put on a hat== We were all amazed by how amazing he looked!! However, he seemed to be so weak when he was greeting us-- Maybe this is only me who thought like this. Personally, I think he is the one who is affected the most by the incident of Daesung and he did not bother to hide his sadness. Perhaps it is out of the responsibility of his being the leader, anyway I could not see he smiled much today. Even when he was smiling, he just smiled a little.
During the Q and A session, there was a part when MC asked some questions, then the boys had to select some fans to answer them. I saw there was a banner on which ' Seungri ah, you are the best'. When it was the turn of G- Dragon, he said, ' just let the fan of Seungri answer it.' I was so happy at that time. (because i ship Gri) However, later I saw that Seungri was making a gesture besides G- Dragon: (He asked the fan) Put it down. Put it (banner) down. Then he swift his hand over his neck and made some facial expressions to hint the fan. That is why I could not see the banner anymore later and then I started to sense that there are something bad happening.
I heard from the fans who were sitting at the front rows, G Dragon was teary eyed and he had dropped his tears. Later, he even swung out his ring. After this incident, the stage performance seemed to have become a bit dramatic. Hm, whenever Taeyang and others patted his shoulders or did other stuff in front of him, he was still only smiling slightly.
Today, Taeyang was asked a question, ' if you were a girl, whom do you want to have a date with?' Then, he laughed and said, 'this question is such a cliche!' Then Seungri said, 'let me ask the questions. Taeyang, where did you buy this cute cap?' (I cannot remember it very clearly now, it seemed to be like it.) Then, Taeyang answered it shyly.
Finally, the MC asked Seungri, 'so where did you buy this pair of cute glasses?' Seungri said it is a pair of glasses with no glasses attached . Then, Tabi suddenly rushed to his side and did a gesture of looking like he was going to pinch his own eyes out.
They were singing 'La La La', 'Sunset Glow' 'Haru Haru' etc in the middle of the concert. They performed songs which beatbox is involved and nearly all of the parts of beatbox were done by Seungri!! He was really awesome!! We all said we wanted to listen to 'La La La' so badly but == They have not sung it for a long time already so it seemed that they have forgotten the lyrics and even the lyrics seemed not to be so familiar to them.
When they were taking a break in the middle of the show, the MC asked the fans who was confident about their dancing skills or who has some special skills. Then, there was a fan coming up on the stage. When the male fan walked on the stage, there were screaming everywhere in the venue, 'Daesung!!' I was shocked when I had the first glance of him too. He looks really alike with Daesung. Not only his eyes but also his expression and the way that he danced looked a bit alike with Daesung. When I was watching his performance, I felt like crying.
When it was the Q and A session, Seungri sang songs about raining and G Dragon smiled. I thought this was the biggest smile that has even spreaded on his face ever since the show started. I dared not to look into G-Dragon's eyes later. He was so sad and he did not cover up his emotion. Perhaps it is because he recalled what had happened on him before. The other three members were trying hard to spice up the atmosphere. When they were performing 'Last Farewell', Tabi changed his gestures from moving his hands upward to downward, Taeyang was amused by him. Tabi also tried to make Seungri smile later.
Someone asked Tabi question like which member he did miss most. I felt the atmosphere was kind of dead at that time. Everyone seemed to be silent. Then, Tabi answered , 'I miss every member.' (I do not remember it very clearly) Anyway, when it came to the end of the show, the name of Daesung was not mentioned at all. However, in the parts which Daesung should appear, there were only Seungri and G-Dragon holding their shoulders with each other without the smiling Daesung emerging from anywhere...
It rained cats and dogs today. Waiting is painful and coupling with the incident of Daesung, everyone was sad... I really thought it was exceptionally sad in this kind of days. There were so many VIPs who had been waiting outside the venue starting from the night before. Nights of these days are really cold. After the concert had started, I don't know whether it is because they were so happy to see us again. G- Dragon could not hold back his sadness and solemness. The other three gave me a feeling that they were forcing their smiles out. Whenever I think of it, I feel sad.
It seemed there are dance steps of 'kudos on the floor' when they were performing 'Lies'. When they had done the 'kudos', the four boys all looked so sad. It looked like all of them had so much to burden in their hearts but they were still trying to spice up the air. I felt depressed when watching them acting like this. They were so unhappy themselves but they still tried to care about our feelings. Seungri was trying to imitate Tabi. I was relieved a bit when watching his imitation. Taeyang was helping G- Dragon to sing several 'say' (lyrics) when the latter could not do so.
I did not remember which song it was. I think it was one of the last songs, the fans who were standing in front of me just screamed ,' Daesung!' I was standing at the back, then there was a group of people pushing forward since they wanted to see whether Daesung was really here. After the show, I thought, it is because we all wanted to see him so badly so whenever we saw anyone who resembled him, we were so emotional...
When they were delivering their concluding speech, it seems to be a habit that we would ask them to 'encore' and we did so too. There was a vip said Taeyang casted a glance at G- Dragon and the latter shook his head a bit. We were a bit disappointed but we really did not ask for it anymore and let them go silently.
There were VIPs said G-Dragon was taking deep breaths when he was in the part of which Daesung should perform in 'Tonight'. When they were performing 'Love Song', all of the four members were hiding in a shade. Not only the expression of G-Dragon was not good but also those of other members. When they were performing 'Stupid Liar', nobody were counting the rhythm and doing the 'hitting head' moves as usual. They did follow the steps later but they seemed to be sadder then.
I have just had a look of the fancam that taken by myself. G-Dragon said, ' I thank LG OPTIMOUS for providing the stage for us. I am so happy for it. I hope we can meet you in this way frequently in the future. Next time, we will perform in a group of five.' I think they have tried so hard already today.

Police recommand indictment of member Bigbang Daesung
Police on Friday recommended that prosecutors indict idol group Big Bang member Daesung for his involvement in a car accident which has resulted in the death of a motorcyclist.
Korea's National Forensic Service and police had been investigating into the accident which occurred on May 31 when Daesung failed to notice that the motorcyclist, identified only by his last name Hyun, was laying on the road from an accident, and hit him as well as a taxi driver checking on Hyun.
"We judged that Daesung was negligent in his responsibility to look ahead of him while driving so he ran over Hyun who was on the floor which inflicted multiple injuries on him and led to his death," police said of their decision to seek the charge of the 22-year-old idol star.
Police said that Hyun, driving under the heavy influence of alcohol, fell off his bike after colliding into a streetlight on which he hit his head and he suffered "extremely severe injuries from it" but it cannot be concluded that this was the single cause of his death since Daesung hit him about two minutes later.
Police added, "We can assume that the injuries Hyun suffered from his intial collision -- to his eye area, face, neck and back -- could have been life threatening but the injuries he suffered from being run over are so extensive that is difficult to distinguish the two."
"Therefore we judge that he died due to his collision into the streetlight and the multiple injuries he suffered from being run over," police stated.
The case will now be turned over to prosecutors.

Police confirm that motorcyclist "Hyun" died from his collision with Daesung
On June 24th, the Seoul, Youngdeungpo police revealed, “Hyun, the deceased motorcyclist involved in Daesung’s car accident, died from Daesung’s collision. As a result, the police will be making a dispatch to charge him without detention.”
On this day, the Youngdeungpo police held a press conference revealing their investigations and confirmed that there was only a 132-second window between the first accident and the collision with Daesung’s car. Hyun’s body was then dragged 28.8 metres down the road by Daesung’s car.
They revealed, “There was only about two minutes between his motorcycle accident and Daesung’s accident, so we have determined that Hyun did not die in that time frame. There were not a lot of cars on the road at that time and the speed limit was 60 km/h, but we discovered through the taxi’s video that he was speeding at 70 to 80 km/h.”
When asked to confirm whether there was a previous hit-and-run accident, police stated, “It has nothing to do with the case. There weren’t a lot of cars on the road at the time, and his alcohol level was 0.186. It has nothing to do with a hit-and-run.”
With confirmation that Hyun was killed by Daesung’s car, what Daesung will be charged for is currently unknown. The law states that he could be jailed for under five years, or pay a penalty of $20,000 USD.

Daesung for Dazed and Confused
TaeYang for Dazed and Confused
SeungRi for Dazed and Confused
Daeusng won't be imprisoned even in the worst situation
After the vehicle incident, many people are curious about what punishment Daesung will be getting. A legal expert said, “Unintentional accident is likely to end up in probation or paying a fine.”
A legal expert said, “He won’t be imprisoned even in the worst situation.” If Mr. Hyun is killed because of the crash, Daesung will be accused of accidental homicide. Two years of imprisonment without forced labor, or a fine of $7000 will be the penalty of an accidental homicide. On the 19, Daesung lost his ground when a media said that the driver of the motorcycle Hyun, was probably alive before the crash. The policeman tried to straighten things out by saying, “The National Institute of Scientific Investigation still did not state its official position yet.”
This legal expert explained, “In this case there is no ‘intention to kill’ whatsoever. Moreover, the results of the sobriety test showed that he wasn’t drunk either, it was just an accident. Of course he is responsible for not being too careful, but looking at the previous precedent, it is unlikely to be imprisoned.”
Not only that, it is very hard for the National Institute of Scientific Investigation to figure out when exactly Mr. Hyun died. And if the NSI can’t figure that out, it will be harder to accuse Daesung for accidental homicide. A police officer said, “The autopsy result usually takes about half a month for the NSI, but in this case, it’s taking almost a month. It is that hard to find out when and how someone died. If there is any doubt about the time and the cause of the death, it will be hard to accuse Daesung for accidental homicide.”
Additionally, the CCTV, which seemed to be a vital key, was practically no use. The video captured in the CCTV lacks enough evidence to figure out the cause and time of death. The policemen say that all things considered, it is hard to say that Daesung caused his death.
Daesung crashed into Mr. Hwang, who was fallen over the road of Seoul Namwha Bridge, with his car at dawn on May 31.

He further elaborated, 'the concerete announcement has not yet finalized according to the scheduled time but it is expected to come out the latest on this Friday. After receiving the report, the police will then hold a briefing to announce the comprehensive results.'

CCTV footage from Daesung's accident car doesn't show when motorcyclist was hit
Police have revealed that the CCTV footage from Daesung’s accident had a limited range of visibility, causing the investigation to go through further difficulties.
On June 20th, a Seoul-Yeongdeungpo Police representative revealed,
“Footage regarding whatever accident Hyun experienced prior to Daesung’s collision was not caught on the CCTV. Since there is only footage of Hyun collapsed on the road, the investigation is facing difficulties.“
The location which Hyun was expected to have had a prior accident is in the vicinity of a cement bridge. Unfortunately, the CCTV cameras at the opposite ends of the bridge had limited visual fields, and so the police are in a situation where details regarding Hyun’s prior accident cannot be determined with certainty.
The representative continued,
“We have yet to receive the autopsy reports from the National Institute of Scientific Investigation. As soon as the results are acquired, we will present the comprehensive results. We expect the results to come out within the week… The relevance of the reports that previously came out is not important. Rather, we fear that the information released prior to this comprehensive report will cause confusion and fear…
It is not important whether or not there was a hit-and-run; rather, we must determine whether or not Hyun had already died before Daesung’s accident.“
When the original autopsy had been done, they expected the investigation to last for about two weeks. However, as the National Institute of Scientific Investigation determined that a more thorough investigation was needed, the expected deadline has been pushed back.
The topic of greatest concern for this autopsy is Hyun’s time of death, as it will help determine if Hyun had died before Daesung’s collision.

Bigbang will have a long "Blank Period"of their activities?
Big Bang will have a long 'blank period' of their activities? The delay of the report about Daesung's traffic accident attracted attention.
The police has identified that Daesung of Big Bang (real name: Kang Dae Sung) had not been involved in the preceding accident which the deceased was in. However, the exact report about the accident from the police has not been released yet The release of it has been delayed for about 1 week already comparing with the scheduled date.
As the investigation of the police about the accident is slow, the release of the report is also postponed. The police is currently investigating carefully whether there was a 'hit and run' involved.
According to the CCTV, 'there was a preceding accident', the investigation of the situation at that time will be revealed. Therefore, the release of the investigation report from the police has attracted attention.
If the investigation report confirmed that it was the negligence of Daesung which contributed to the fatal accident, then, it seems that it will exert great influence on the future activities of Big Bang. It is very likely that the suspension of their future activities will be prolonged.
Seoul Yeongdeungpo police told newsen on 15th, June,' the result of the autopsy was originally scheduled to be released on 15th but a little more time is needed for the investigation. It is likely that the result will be released on the coming 23th and 24th.'
On 31th of May at around 1:40am, Daesung encountered a traffic accident when he was driving along the southern end of Yanghwa Bridge.His car crashed with the taxi which was in front of him.
Looking at the incident from a variety of angles. the police is currently investigating whether the death of Mr Hyeonmo at that time was caused by a preceding accident or the accident which Daesung was involved. If it is found that the death is caused by Daesung, he has to face the criminal penalty.
And it is reported that this accident has exerted big impact on the future activities of Big Bang and fans are concerned about whether the 'blank period' of their activities will be a long one.

TaeYang Doll for MCM Satellite Store Opening Reception
Seeing G-Dragon and TaeYang outside YG building (Fan account)
An email from Hurul, a VIP currently in Seoul for a vacation:
Hi! Just wanna share my experience seeing GD and Taeyang at the YG building on 15 June 2011.
I'm in Seoul now on a holiday and as a VIP, I decided to check out the YG building in Hapjeong. It's very near my hotel - only one stop away or a 10 min cab ride.
So anyway my friend and I were just admiring the building from a distance and taking pictures of it. We were a little afraid of going near at first.
Later around 11PM we plucked up some courage and went nearer to the building. We saw 3 other Korean girls who looked to be around the same age as us - mid 20s. They were sitting outside the convenience store opposite the YG building. We just hung out for awhile and then it all happened.
Around 1130PM, a black SUV car drove out. I saw T.O.P's manager! He looked slimmer in real life. He drove away with a bunch of other guys who looked like the producers.
Then a little later, out of nowhere, my friend and I spotted GD coming out of the building. He was wearing a hat, red scarf and a black outfit. He kept looking down and walked quickly to another black SUV with his driver.
Soon after, the SUV with T.O.P's manager returned. This time, Taeyang's manager was in it too. And a police car was in front of it. The YG guys told the policemen to get rid of this particular old man loitering around the building - me thinks he was drunk. When the police came out of their car, a black Mercedes entered the YG carpark and drove right into the compound. And Taeyang came out! He was wearing a black hoodie with no cap whatsoever. With a bunch of other guys swarming him, he did a little run to the entrance and disappeared into the building.
We decided to wait out for T.O.P or Seungri or Daesung but to no avail. But around 1AM, another car came in and a skinny guy with a grey hoodie came out of it. He turned around to face us and it was GD again!
I didn't know it was so easy to see the YG family since the compound is so open. Fantastic experience that I think all VIPs should try when they are in Seoul! I feel like going again another night to spot T.O.P next.
Sorry for the lengthy account :p

Daesung Accident: The motorcyclist was drunk, no hit and run involved
It was reported today that the motorcyclist involved in Daesung’s car accident from two weeks ago was drunk driving at the moment and it’s highly possible that his crash had occurred as a result of negligent driving. Also it was revealed that there was no hit-and-run accident involved prior to Daesung’s contact with the victim.
According to local media E-Daily, police officials reviewing the accident said, “We’ve already completed on-site investigations and CCTV reviews. The results have confirmed us there was no hit-and-run accident prior to Daesung’s collision.”
The official added, “We’re still waiting for final autopsy results but the National Forensic Service said alcohol was discovered from the motorcyclist’s blood test results. Based on witness testimonies and on-site investigations, it’s highly likely that the motorcyclist hurt himself due to negligent driving.”
The police are currently looking into the motorcyclist’s exact time of death. Experts say further investigation will reveal the exact timeline and whether the motorcyclist died as a result of his first crash or if it was caused by Daesung’s accident that followed shortly after. However, the autopsy results that were supposed to come out today will be delayed, possibly until next week, the police said.
Daesung was involved in a car accident on May 31st around 1:30AM. He hit a motorcyclist that was lying on the street from an earlier accident and later crashed into a taxi in front of him. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead shortly after the accident. Daesung apologized to the victim's family and agreed to cover all funeral costs, but it's still unclear what the exact cause of death is.

Autopsy results For Daesung's accident delayed
The autopsy results for the car accident involving Big Bang’s Daesung, a taxi driver, and a motorcyclist have been delayed to the end of next week.
Originally scheduled to be released today, Seoul police stated that the results will now be released next weekend. Their official press release explained, “Because they wished to be extremely thorough with their investigations, the National Forensic Service told us the results would be slightly delayed.”
The report will determine if Daesung caused the death of motorcyclist Hyun, who was reportedly on the ground already before Daesung ran over him and crashed into a parked taxi. The autopsy results are expected to reveal a key point in the investigation, which will determine the course of the case afterwards.

GD and TOP for Elle Girl Korea
Elle Girl Korea’s June Edition featured the top 100 idol members and evaluated them based on their skills (singing/performance) and fashion.
A. COMMENTING ON MUSIC/SINGING ABILITY/PERFORMANCE
B. COMMENTING ON LOOK/STYLE
C. ON OTHER TALENTS/VARIETY SHOWS SKILLS
D. OTHERS
BIGBANG G-Dragon
A. He seems so comfortable on stage. He has talents in rap. His confidence is number one in the world. ★★★★★ -Kim Bonghyun
B. Something he has even more ingenious than his song writing skills is his style, the fact that he has style is a common sense now. Even his forehead is stylish, this stylish person. ★★★★★ -Kim Yoonkyung
C. He’s alright, with the help of Seungri and TOP. Worrisome if alone. He should be more prideful to be funny in talk shows. ★★ -Kim Yoon
D. [EDITED TRANSLATION] I hope he will still try to do some breakthrough/push the boundary stuff in the future. And find the balance between his pride and stubbornness. These are all the things I want to say to GD.
BIGBANG T.O.P
A. None of the idol “rappers” are good. T.O.P is an exception. He is the beginning of the “proud rap” among idols. ★★★ -Kwon Eun-Kyung
B. He is handsome, but he wouldn’t have been this famous if he was a solo artist. ★★★ -Kwon Eun-kyung
C. Seungri can babble and G-Dragon can be stylish all they want, but they will never win over TOP’s bingu-ness. ★★★★ -Kim Do-Hoon.
D. [EDITED TRANSLATION] He seems to have already made the transformation in to a movie actor, but does he know he looks unfashionable in the cinema? (Not sure whether this person is talking about the role in the movie unfashionable or the impression of seeing TOP in the premieres, I guess the latter....)
Only GD and T.O.P's "evaluation" are published on Elle's website right now so if you have a copy of the magazine and if you can share the other members' description, it would be very much appreciated :) A short bit on Seungri's from the magazine preview:
BIGBANG Seungri (Average: ★★)
He is the member who is in the middle. He is a predictable member.

"Daesung" the impact of Bigbang activities
Daesung (Big Bang) 's involvement in the deathly traffic accident has exerted impact on the activities of Big Bang in the remaining year.
YGE has postponed the release of the new songs of 2NE1 and the airing of the originally scheduled YG On Air . Therefore, it is said that the normal schedule of Big Bang has now become hard to be digested due to the absence of Daesung. Recently, Big Bang have finished their Japan tour and they were expected to attend various activities afterwards. However, the shock and grief that Daesung experienced made him refuse to talk to his family and he shuts himself up from others.
In 2009, Daesung has been injured in a large traffic accident when he was sitting in his manager's car. While the past wound is still here, the unknown situation he is experiencing now will once again caused him to undergo a great pain.
(Omitted repeated info of the traffic accident)

SeungRi reveals how Bigbang get girls phone numbers
Seungri revealed how his Big Bang hyungs get the numbers of girls.
On the June 6th episode of SBS "Night After Night", Seungri tells us something about his members and the opposite sex.
Seungri said, "Big Bang members place emphasis on seniority ranks. The oldest hyung and maknae do things according to their ranks. Hyungs would say, "Seungri ah, go to her, get her number and say something to her." But if she is a beautiful woman, the hyungs will go get her number themselves instead."
He elaborated, "I use the straightforward way to get a girl's number, I will just say, "Mr. G. Dragon wants you to give him your number." Such a confession attracted laughters.

Yang Hyun Suk talks about Daesung's accident
“2NE1’s new song release, as well as this week’s ‘YG ON AIR’ broadcast has been postponed for a week. We would like to apologize for not being able to alert our fans of this earlier, as it was a decision made under emergency circumstances. We ask our fans for their understanding.
With regards to news of Daesung’s car accident, we would to first and foremost like to send our deepest condolences to the deceased and his family members. We pray that he rests in peace.
I know that Daesung is the type to always blame himself for everything that goes wrong, so I was very worried about Daesung’s condition after the accident. Just as I expected, he was holed up in his room, refusing to even talk to his family members.
No matter what I say, I know that it cannot console him, but I visited his dorm in the early morning and told him, ‘Daesung, if I was in your position, it would have been hard for me to avoid it as well.’
I did not say that simply to console him, but because it is truly how I feel. At the time of the accident, the managers received emergency notification and arrived at the scene within 20 minutes. They were able to observe the scene of the accident.
To briefly describe what happened, at 1:30 AM KST on May 31st, it was raining and a victim of another accident was lying on the road. A car ahead of Daesung discovered the victim and quickly swerved off the lane, but Daesung was unable to avoid hitting the taxi that was stopped at the front, resulting in a collision.
Because it was so sudden, Daesung did not know even after the collision that there was a motorcyclist on the scene. Though the taxi driver estimated Daesung’s speed to be at 60km/h, Daesung testified that he was driving at 80. The truth will be discovered through CCTV evaluations and police investigations; yet because the taxi driver has long-time driving experience, and because people don’t accelerate on downhill lanes, in addition to the fact that there was a turn at the end, I feel that the taxi driver’s estimation is closer to the truth.
I know that the pain Daesung is going through is incomparable to the agony that the victim and his family are undergoing, but what I am most worried about is that this will bring about serious psychological trauma that will last months, years, or maybe an entire life-time. What I am most upset about is that Daesung had also been in an accident prior to this in 2009, where he had almost lost his life. That shock still has not worn off, and he has suffered yet another shocking accident.
Maybe well into the future… but this might be the most difficult time for Daesung.
I honestly hope that accurate investigations will be carried out so that the weight Daesung is carrying can be lifted free.
Thank you to all of you who are worrying over Daesung. I would like to once again send my deepest condolences to the victim and his family.”

Victim's Hyun Family speak out on daesung accident
Following the unfortunate news of Big Bang Daesung’s accident and motorcyclist Hyun’s (30) death, family members of Hyun gathered today for his funeral.
On the afternoon of June 1st, Hyun’s family gathered at a funeral home in Seoul in remembrance of their beloved family member. The scene was reported to have been sorrowful as siblings, friends and relatives mourned over their loss.
Meanwhile, Hyun’s accident was first revealed through a relative of his, who will be referenced throughout the rest of this article as Person A. Person A agreed to an interview with ‘Dispatch‘ in which he stated, “After I initially got word of the accident, I was extremely shocked… Ever since he [Hyun] was little, I regarded him as my own child. To hear that he left this world at such a young age… my heart broke.”
Hyun’s older brother was also seen at the funeral. He was described as being speechless. His family stated, “He grew up with his younger brother. We brought him here to the funeral home this morning. Hyun was his only sibling so this is a major loss for him.”
It has also been revealed that Hyun’s parents have yet to be informed of their son’s death. The family stated, “His parents’ health is not stable right now. Their health is unstable to the point that everyday tasks are difficult… We think that they will go into shock if they hear about their son’s death, so we have not informed them yet.”
In regards to Daesung’s involvement in the accident, the family stated, “We have seen Daesung on TV a lot and are big fans… While the loss of a family member is hard on us, it breaks our heart to know that a young friend [Daesung] is going through such a hardship right now. We’re not sure what kind of destiny this is.” And while Hyun’s family have not come in contact with Daesung’s side, they added, “We have not come in contact with his people. Neither have they come in contact with us… We have only heard stories from police investigations and insurance companies. Because it is a hard situation for both of us, there has been no business sentiment.”
Hyun’s family also spoke out against current speculations and rumors pertaining to the accident. They said, “The autopsy results have not accurately come out yet. Also, because the CCTV has not been thoroughly evaluated yet, speculations and rumors make the situation harder… We understand that there are various stories being spread regarding the accident; however, we wish that until the results are accurately posted, that everyone will watch the situation quietly.”
As a final response, the family stated, “This whole situation is the only thing on our minds right now. We hope that when the results of the investigation are released, no one becomes victimized, including Daesung. We hope to wrap up this incident with no chagrin; that is our family’s last thoughts.”

YG life updates: Apology to the victim and his family
Translation: “I (we) apologize deeply to the family members of the one who departed due to an unfortunate accident and pray that he may rest in peace.”
The update yesterday about the accident was edited and it only shows now the part regarding 2NE1's new song. I guess the text above is in replacement of the long and detailed explanation YG posted, which some netizens criticized.
News article:
"Daesung, even if i were you, that situation would have been hard to avoid."
This is what Yang Hyunsuk of YG Entertainment put up on the company blog on June 2nd. Is this really for Daesung’s good?
Daesung was involved in a fatal car accident.
But, based on his interviews and his blog, YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyunsuk seems to be only interested in protecting Daesung.
One netizen stated, “You shouldn’t use people’s emotions on matters such as fatal incidents. Rather, accurate circumstances should be found and just punishments should be made. This is mandatory, considering the deceased, and there are many people in the world who didnt mean to be in an accident,” criticizing the way YG is responding to this accident.
Another netizen stated, “It is only humane that you come out, apologize, ask for forgiveness, and visit the deceased’s family,” asking Daesung to come out of his room and sincerely apologize to the deceased and the deceased’s family. (Note: This article was posted before Daesung visited yesterday.)
Other netizens stated, “The media is going faster than the police; reports should be made after police makes accurate investigations and decisions.”

Daesung apologizes to the Victim's Family and is agree to paid for funeral costs
According to local media Dispatch, Daesung made a visit last night to the mortuary of the motorcyclist who got killed in Tuesday’s accident and apologized to the family members. The families of the victim told Dispatch, “Daesung came a little while ago (Thursday night) with YG officials. We got an apology from Daesung and YG, and talked about future funeral arrangements as well.”
Daesung made a visit around 10:30PM on June 2nd with five other YG officials and lawyers. The report said Daesung repeatedly apologized for the tragic accident as some family members demanded a direct apology from him. “Daesung too looked to be in complete agony. At first, the YG official apologized but Daesung couldn’t even say a word. The victim’s acquaintances then asked Daesung to apologize properly, and he went on to apologize to the parents and each family member of the victim, bowing his head,” one of the family members, identified only as “A,” told Dispatch.
Thursday’s meeting was the first between Daesung and the victim’s family since the car accident. Until then, the family members reportedly had not received any calls from Daesung.
“It’s true that we were somewhat disappointed in Daesung. A person just died. And he (Daesung) was involved in the accident. We thought, more than anything, a sincere apology would be the first thing to do,” said A. “But his agency just kept making excuses, telling the press that ‘Daesung was driving at 60km/hr,’ ‘I probably wouldn’t have been able to avoid the victim either.’ Our child is dead and gone, and it was just really frustrating and dismaying to see that.”
According to YG Entertainment, the reason for the delayed visit was due to Daesung’s poor health condition. Following the collision, Daesung was in severe mental pain and was unable to make any type of visit. In fact, he couldn’t eat properly and had no contact with any of his parents or family members. Also the increased public attention caused the delay, YG said.
“YG said it took longer to make a visit because they wanted to come with Daesung. At first, I was mad about it, but after seeing Daesung in person, I felt bad for the young man. He looked really painful. He got involved in such a horrible accident at a young age, and I’m sure it came as huge shock to him,” another family member “B” was quoted as saying.
It was also confirmed that YG and the victim’s family talked about future funeral arrangements. Daesung agreed to take care of all funeral costs, but further details will be arranged after the police investigation gets finalized.
“We heard about the investigation and CCTV reviews. But the most important thing right now is to find the truth. Daesung sincerely apologized and promised to fully cooperate with future proceedings, so we’re going to trust him,” the victim’s family said.
Currently, the police investigation is on-going. Initial reports from the National Forensic Service has been told to the family members only and the police reviewed the CCTV, but nothing has been made official yet. On May 31st, Daesung was involved in a car accident that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist. The motorcyclist was already suffering from an earlier collision and was in critical situation, possibly dead, before being hit by Daesung.
The victim’s family added, “The dead cannot speak. But at least the dead shouldn’t feel victimized. We just hope for a clear investigation and find the truth behind the whole accident. None of the involved parties should feel unfair or victimized. The only people we can trust at this point are the police.”

Days after Big Bang’s Daesung was reported to have been in a car accident, YG Entertainment has revealed that Daesung is currently in his dorm, in a state of great stress and tears.
Through Star News, representatives commented on June 1st, “Daesung received a big shock because of this accident and is in a very difficult time. He’s in Big Bang’s dorm in Sangsoo-dong, Seoul, and is crying in agony. We will be complying with everything the police asks of us. They have told us that he will be contacted should additional investigations be necessary.”
Yang Hyun Suk commented, “What Daesung is upset over isn’t whether or not he is innocent, but rather he feels sorrow for the deceased. He is more concerned over the motorcyclist and is still crying heavily.”

Amidst the many speculations that are taking place following Daesung’s car accident, Dispatch received the opportunity of interviewing the sole witness, taxi driver Kim (45), at the hospital.
Although he’s still being treated from the accident, Kim emphasized, “I have to correct everything that’s being wrongly reported.”
Various rumors arose after it was discovered that the motorcyclist’s vehicle was in decent condition, and therefore the rider couldn’t have been involved in an accident prior to his collision with Daesung. Kim, on the other hand, stated, “Hyun (the motorcyclist) was bleeding very much already. I think that there definitely was a very big accident that occurred before ours.”
Check out the full interview below.
–
Q. “At this time, the motorcyclist has deceased and the attention is now being focused on whether his death was caused by Daesung’s collision or not.”
Kim: “Daesung is also a victim in this case. It seems that the motorcyclist already received much injury from a previous accident. He was discovered 30m away from his motorcycle and you could tell how bad his condition was with the naked eye. There was a lot of blood where he was laying and his head was also bleeding profusely. Maybe its because of the shock from the impact, but his helmet was also nowhere to be seen. The police later discovered it, and, it too, was badly damaged.”
Q. “You checked for the condition of the motorcyclist but Daesung was unable to. Eventually, he passed Hyun and collided with the taxi.”
Kim: “There is a reason why Daesung could not have avoided Hyun. There was another car in front of Daesung. To put it simply, I put up my emergency lights after discovering the motorcyclist and stopping on the road. Just before I was about to call the police, another car discovered Hyun and swerved to the next lane. The car following him was Daesung’s. Although the first car was able to swerve and avoid an accident, I don’t think Daesung could see what was going on. Usually, when the first car swerves, the car behind it can’t catch what he’s swerving away from. Daesung was in that exact situation.”
Q. “Daesung testified that he did not see the motorcyclist.”
Kim: “Daesung did not know of the motorcyclist at all. He only knew once I told him that there was a person on the road. The car in front of him had swerved away so he didn’t have time to check at the scene.”
Q. “Daesung is currently being questioned for speeding and negligent driving.”
Kim: “I think he was within the 60km/h limit because the car in front of him was not speeding. This was what I observed with the room mirror in the taxi. They say that he was speeding at 80km/h during the investigations, but I feel that’s the speed he was at when he collided with the taxi.”
Q. “No skid marks were discovered at the scene. Does that mean his car only stopped after it collided with the taxi?”
Kim: “In my personal opinion, I think he accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. There should have been skid marks, but there are none. Even after the collision, the taxi was pushed out 30m from where it was originally standing. If it was pushed to that extent, it means he did not brake. Even during the collision, I don’t think he braked, and it was most probably because he was nervous and shocked that he accidentally pressed the accelerator.”
Q. “Then if he wasn’t able to see the motorcyclist at the time of the accident, did he check afterwards?”
Kim: “Daesung did not have a chance to. Within 2 minutes of the accident, police arrived and he was taken for investigations. He did not know that there was a person at the time of the accident so I don’t think he knew to check. He only knew that there was a collision with the taxi. Immediately afterwards, a representative of his agency arrived, and he, too, did not see the motorcyclist.”
Q. “Did he look shocked?”
Kim: “There was so much going on. There was an accident and a victim was revealed. Within 10 minutes, journalists swarmed in. Since he’s a young celebrity, I think he was shocked. Even while being investigated by the police, his hands were shaking.”
Q. “The taxi was severely destroyed. Just looking at the taxi, you must have also been severely injured. How are you right now?”
Kim: “In comparison to the taxi being destroyed, I was not that injured. I think it was because I sensed an accident and prepared for it. The hospital said that I didn’t break anything, but I am receiving physical therapy for my shoulders, back, and neck.”
Q. “If Daesung is found to be unrelated to the death of the motorcyclist, that leaves only the issue of his collision with the taxi. The compromise will be important.”
Kim: “Daesung’s side has not begun a compromise yet. I have not received contact from them and we did not exchange business cards at the time. I do not want to reach a compromise at this moment, as I feel that the accident being reported truthfully is more important.”
Q. “As the sole witness, how do you feel?”
Kim: “It’s very disappointing. It was poor driving for him to not be able to see the motorcyclist and drive over him, but the situation is becoming severe in that there’s also the issue of a preceding accident and it’s unclear as to who caused it. This is why I mustered the courage to say something.”

Autopsy on deceased motorcyclist in Daesung's car accident to be carried out today
Officials have reported that the autopsy for Hyun (30), the deceased motorcyclist from Daesung’s car accident, will be carried out today.
Seoul’s Youngdeungpo police spoke through Star News and stated, “The autopsy for the dead motorcyclist began today at 9 AM KST. It will take about half a month for the results to come out.”
What’s being investigated is whether or not the motorcyclist was already dead before Daesung’s collision. Police explained, “We’ll be uncovering whether Hyun was already in an accident prior to Daesung’s collision, and whether he was already dead. Daesung has already testified in the first round of investigations, so whether he will be brought in again is still being discussed. If he is needed again, it will be done in secrecy.”

YG Entertainment issues statement about Daesung's car accident
As Daesung’s car accident continues to be investigated, the taxi driver that was rear-ended by the Big Bang star revealed that Daesung had in fact been driving at 60km/h. A police statement previously asserted that Daesung was driving at 80km/h, but YG Entertainment has spoken out that this may not have been the case.
On May 31st, a YG Entertainment representative stated,
“The taxi driver who was rear-ended by Daesung has said that Daesung had not been driving that fast; he said that he felt he had driven at about 60 km/h. Although Daesung was the one who told the authorities that he was driving at 80 km/h, this was said while he was in a state of great shock and confusion.”
The site of the accident is on a downhill slope – isn’t it normal for most drivers to not have their foot on the accelerator while driving downhill? Therefore, in order to find at what speed Daesung was driving at, there must be an on-site investigation.“
Previously, the Seoul Youngdeung-Po Police Department stated,
“Daesung violated the rules for safe driving by not being able to see in front of him while driving at 80 km/h. If Daesung had in fact been driving at 80 km/h (where the speed limit was 60 km/h), it would be considered to be a speed limit violation. However, because that figure was part of Daesung’s testimony, in order to find out exactly how fast he was going, more investigation needs to be done.“
Meanwhile, the police are examining the accident in great detail, combing through certain facts like how the motorcyclist was already bleeding before Daesung’s accident, leading to a theory of a possible prior hit-and-run. According to the police, Daesung seemed to have not seen the motorcyclist because he was scrambling to brake when he saw the stopped taxi in front of him.
It’s been revealed that Daesung hadn’t been driving under the influence and that the taxi driver did not sustain any major injuries. After the accident, Daesung and the taxi driver underwent five hours of investigation by the authorities before returning home.
At the police station, Daesung said, “There was one car behind the taxi in the first lane. When both cars suddenly moved to the second lane, I couldn’t avoid hitting the taxi that had returned to the first lane to stop.”
The police revealed, “We plan to find the cause of the motorcyclist’s death. In order to determine if the motorcyclist had died due to Daesung’s car, we had requested a detailed analysis from the National Institute of Scientific Investigation and have obtained the CCTV footage from the area. We plan to investigate this scientifically.
When the motorcycle was found, it found standing more than 10m away from the motorcyclist. Whether this was due to a hit-and-run or another previous accident will be investigated with the Highway Department.”
It appears that results of the motorcycle analysis will take up to 7-10 days.
Daesung has received much shock due to this accident. A YG representative revealed, ”After finishing the police investigation at 7AM, Daesung has returned to his dorm with his manager.”
YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk said, “We will continue to follow the results that the police investigations reveal regarding the accident. Currently, Daesung’s distress is not due to his mistake, but due to his sorrow for the motorcyclist who died due to an accident.”

Possible charges Daesung may face and SBS new report
Daesung was involved in a car accident on the 31st. The Police stated that the victim has deceased and that Daesung is charged with ‘neglecting safe driving duties.’
Since Daesung’s car hit a motorcycle that had already fallen before his arrival and not a moving car, his charge is ‘neglectful accident’ rather than a ‘intrusion of safe driving distance.’
Daesung’s punishment depends on whether or not the motorcyclist was dead at the time of Daesung’s car crash.
If the motorcyclist was already dead when Daesung’s car crashed, this is a ‘ruin of corpse’ and not a ‘car accident violence’ and thus Daesung is not lawfully responsible for a compensation, although morally expected.
Even if the motorcyclist was alive when the second collision (by Daesung’s car) occurred, Daesung’s “neglect” was not heavy (a ‘heavy neglect’ would include DUI and traffic signal violation) and therefore will not lead to Daesung’s imprisonment and the like. He is, however, lawfully responsible to compensate. A typical fatal car accidents are at least $18,000 ~ $28,000 and depends on the annual income from there.

The car accident explains with a graphic
According to police, around 1:30AM today, Daesung was crossing the Yanghwa Bridge in his car. The taxi in front of Daesung’s car was slowing down to make a left turn, but right then the driver spotted the motorcyclist passed out on the street. He made a quick lane change to avoid hitting the victim and stopped the vehicle to call the police. Another car apparently was running behind the taxi but it discovered the motorcyclist lying on the ground in advance to safely pass by without making any contact. Daesung, however, driving behind the second vehicle, was unable to see the motorcyclist and ended up hitting both the victim and the taxi.
Daesung told the police “I felt a bump in the car so I stepped on the brake, but the brake did not work.” However, the police said, “No skid marks were shown on the spot, so Daesung probably did not step on the brake.”
The issue at hand now is whether the victim was already dead prior to Daesung’s contact with him, or if his death came as a result of Daesung crashing into him. The police have questioned Daesung for five hours this morning and the damaged motorcycle is currently being examined by the National Forensic Service. The police are also looking at the possibility of a hit-and-run accident that could have occurred before the taxi spotted the motorcyclist as they are waiting for autopsy results.

Bigbang's future activities inevitably disrupted
After the fatal car accident involving Big Bang member Daesung, activities are expected to inevitably be disrupted for some time.
Agency YG Entertainment said, “After the accident and being investigated for 3-4 hours at the police station, (Daesung) has returned to the hostel to rest”, adding, “he is in shock and worrying greatly.”
According to YG, Daesung has no particular schedule for some time. The show that he is currently a regular on, SBS ‘Night After Night’, will not be recording this week, as explained by the agency. After the end of the 19-day concerts in Japan, Big Bang was on vacation until about next week.
However, the police investigation that is expected to take time looks to affect Big Bang’s future activities. In particular, in the case of if the death of the motorcyclist was caused by Daesung’s car accident, personal detainment may be inevitable.
The police are trying to find out the details of the first accident of the motorcyclist hit by Daesung’s car, and an autopsy has been scheduled to discover the cause of death.

Daesung car accident being investigated by National Forensic Service
Following his car accident earlier this morning, Daesung got investigated by the police for over five hours, getting released around 7AM, local media reported. According to police, Daesung was not driving under the influence. But the motorcyclist he crashed into has been pronounced dead immediately following the accident and police is investigating whether his death was caused by Daesung’s crash or not.
“The motorcyclist has been confirmed to be dead but we’ll have to do more investigation to find out if he was killed by Daesung’s car or by a prior accident,” the police said. “Daesung will have to prove the motorcyclist’s death was not caused by his crash in order to avoid any liability issues.”
For a more accurate investigation, the police are currently reviewing the CCTV screens while the damaged motorcycle and some footage of the accident have been sent to the National Forensic Service for closer examination.
In the meantime, YG Entertainment said in an official statement that “Daesung is currently in a heavy state of shock and grief over the accident he could’t avoid. He broke down in tears in concern over the victim… He will follow any police investigation but he is in great pain over this issue.”
According to police reports, around 1:30AM on May 31st, Daesung hit a motorcyclist lying on the ground from a previous accident at Yanghwa Bridge. In trying to avoid the accident, Daesung had to change lanes and crashed into a taxi from behind. The taxi driver however did not suffer any injuries.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
The police is currently investigating whether a hit-and-run accident was involved prior to Daesung and the taxi hit the motorcyclist, and they are waiting for autopsy results of the victim as well.
Following today’s accident, it will be inevitable for Big Bang and Daesung to make changes to their promotional activities. Big Bang recently finished their Japanese Tour Concerts and is currently in a resting period. But a lot of their individual activities and new album production plans will have to be altered due to today’s accident. Daesung currently is a regular on SBS “Night After Night."

Jung Hyung Don defines fashion for G-Dragon on MBC's Infinity Challenge
On May 21st, MBC’s “Infinity Challenge” aired a Spring special ‘Infinite boss picnic’ episode where the seven members relieved a day out of a salary man’s job by showing up at work for him. Yoo Jae Seok played the department head; Park Myung Soo, a deputy department head; Jung Jun Ha, a director; Jung Hyung Don, a secretary; Ha Ha, an employee; Gil, an intern.
As a secretary, Jung Hyung Don showed off his ‘crazy existence’ by wearing a red jumper, beanie, sunglasses that open sideways, and slippers. The production staff included a caption that read, ‘Infinite Boss’s Fashion Leader.’
His castmates asked him, “Why did you wear clothes from home?” Jung Hyung Don shouted back with confidence, “Where is my camera? G-Dragon, are you watching this? This is fashion!”
The gagman’s known for previously criticizing G-Dragon’s fashion on the same program, so his brave statement left viewers amused.

Love and Hope Conceret review in Josei Seven Magazine
BIGBANG[Don't go to Japan]
Korea’s cry is beyondOn May 10th at Osaka Hall, BIGBANG…’s “Love and Hope Tour 2011″ began.“This time, it was hard to come to Japan, but we came to keep our promise with everyone.”With these words that V.I (20yrs) said, the venue with 20,000 fans cried with excitement and their delightfulness climbed to the peak. The venue was hyped up, some people were too touched so they even shed a tear. There is a profound reason why these words were emphasized for all 3 days. The promise that V.I talked about is when they had a tour last February, they promised “We’ll come again.” to fans.In order to keep this promise, BIGBANG members announced the “Love and Pain Tour 2011″. The plans they originally made at that moment was that the concerts would be held in Tokyo, Yokohama and some other places but they adjusted their plans because of the eartquake which happened in the Eastern Japan on March 11th. Many people voiced out their worries about this trip because BIGBANG’s tour might have had to be cancelled.But they said “Because Japan is having such a critical situation, we would like to give messages of encouragement and hope to those who suffered.”They thought about the idea again and announced that the tour title would be changed from “Love and Pain” to “Love and Hope” which made their Japanese fans feel good. However, their Japanese tour was still in face of oppositions from Korea.“They are our never-ending singers, and we can’t let BIGBANG who are Korean citizens go to Japan because of the serious condition. We want the Japan tour to be cancelled.”About 7500 fans had voiced out their opposition to the entertainment company and their record label. The company announced that their stay would be shortened from 2 months to 2 weeks but it still could not calm the Korean fans down. Nevertheless, BIGBANG arrived on May 2nd. Leader G-Dragon said in the meeting on the first day of their tour.“We hope that they’ll understand that it’s safe because have arrived here safely. Japan and Korea are neighbor countries, we must join hands to reconstruct the road for our future.” he said that in order to let the Korean fans to understand why they had chosen to go to Japan and he wanted to share his feelings towards Japan, too.So, this is how the tour happened. It was a really hot evening when the time wasn’t only enjoyed by the fans but also other celebrities. Famous faces were spotted, from idols to comedians, such as AKB48′s Maeda Atsuko (19yrs old ) and Shinoda Mariko (25yrs old), Mizuhara Kiko (20yrs old), Katou Miriya (22yrs old), Sasaki Nozomi (23yrs old), Aoyama Thelma (23yrs old), Imada (45yrs old), ORIENTAL RADIO’s Fujimoto (28yrs old), TANPOPO, and V6. About the audience and the stages in the performances,we can say it was the best and was avid as a flashy lake, the good parts are as the following…
[FIRST DAY] The concert started with a shocking performance of G-Dragon smashing a guitar. The venue looked like a dance floor since there was a swamp of people holding their penlights.TOP (23yrs) said in front of the crowd of hyper fans, “Osaka was hot but TOKYO is also hot!”. SOL said that G-Dragon hurt his foot at the Osaka concert, then G-Dragon said “It hurts a bit, but I’m alright!”.The maknae, V.I said “Today, it’s friday the 13th. Isn’t it scary?” for some reasons. Because he was kind of annoying, SOL grabbed his neck and led him to the exit. And by seeing this scene, everyone laughed a lot.TOP joked next. After G-Dragon cooly said “Let’s move to the next song, CAFE.”, TOP asked “Is there any ice coffee?” which made the venue hyped up even more.
[SECOND DAY] V.I’s new impersonation for this tour is revealed.“It’s alright in Disneyland! It’s called Mickey? I’m Mickey too! Dodosuko suko suko LOVE chu nyu♥”To be honest, V.I’s impersonation didn’t look much like that of Tanoshingo. After watching his impersonation, the other members just smiled awkwardly. But only D-LITE (22yrs) said “Amazing! That was good!” with a grin.D-LITE who teased V.I, was then totally obsessed in the world of his solo song afterwards and he has displayed how beautiful his voice is to the audience. There were fans who were crying because of his touching performance. SOL, who also sang his solo songs took off his jacket in the middle of his performance and wore a tank top only. It was stunning and it made the venue heated up even more.
[THIRD DAY] For three days, G-Dragon kept enduring his injury and showed us his great performance but he has worsened his injury by all of these; therefore,in the encore stage, he could barely walk.V.I who was teased the day before, took a segway on stage for G-Dragon. Then G-Dragon sat on it and continued his performance. The brotherly love that we can find in this group is probably one of their charms. When they were performing their last song, TOP shouted “Tokyo, Don’t Cry!”, and SOL also said “Our concerts have come to an end today. We are sad about it, too. But we’ll meet again.”.“When you reach home, please call me because I’m worried.” V.I joked until the end and therefore, G-Dragon hit his head with his fist. We have listened to the best songs and laughed to the ultmost level in ”Love & Hope” .We felt the love and hope because the five members were there.

Dae had a big afro on, Bae had a crown and OMG TOP wore a sumo mask!!! TOP was so Energetic!! He was bouncing around and singing in a REALLY low voice as like his mask. Dae sang in an opera voice. Dae made a mistake and sang the first verse of GARA GARA GO again instead of the second! Lmao. He only realized towards the end. Lmao. Then Bae pretended to slap Dae for his mistakes and Dae spun around to pretend he was hit lmao! Ri sang as the panda too! Dae grabbed Tabi’s masked face and started wiggling it around!
GD was way friendly at the end and threw way more, did a ton of poses for fans and sang to some. At the end, they were all waiting for Bae who was at the side stage fanservicing! Dae was the first to go but was over taken by Bae who was the first to leave. GD was still busy running around thanking fans but Ri waited at the end of the stage for GD so he could be the last to comment and leave the stage. They were all so adorable! During the MC, Ri was gonna do his usual but Bae was like, “Don’t lie and say its new! Everyone knows it!” Ri was like, “You do?” The audience was like, “Yeah!” So Bae said, “do something only for THIS con” so Ri did the same thing but with different dialogue using his And TOP’s names. Lmao. Then again he’s like “GD, do it!” GD was hesitant but after coaxing he just did the last part of the pose suddenly with no sounds then crouched down embarrassed. Then Ri made TOP do it who stretched out the end pose by dancing towards the audience! It was HILARIOUS! Then OMG Ri made Bae do it too! Bae totally didn’t wanna but Ri told him to do it the hip hop way so he did it Taeyang style! It was so cool!
Then, OMG best part ever, the other members albeit GD were all “DAE, YOU HAVE TO DO IT TOO!” He didn’t wanna but they started a cheer “D-Lite!” To get him to do it. We did the same with YB saying “SOL”. But anyway! Ri was like “DO A SEXY VERSION!!” Rotflmao! He did body rolls then at the end he did the same as TOP and prolonged the end pose but TOP joined in with beatboxing then suddenly all the members bar GD were dancing towards the main stage with Ri joining in with beatboxing! GD was just following behind shaking his head, super embarrassed, then halfway thru the middle walkway, he turns back to the audience and bows, apologizing for the other members. Lol. Then suddenly, Ri turns to the others and were like “OK! Enough! You’re all noisy!” Lmao!
At the end of their second to last song, GD collapsed on the floor and YB dropped to his knees to show exhaustion. Then like minutes after. Tabi also did the same. Super cute. During one of the MCs , they were talking about Nagoya food and Ri was flailing about Misokatsu then YB started talking about some food but no one knew what it was, not even fans, so he explained it in Korean and Japanese.

Bigbang on Fuji TV "Sakigake Eight": Love and Hope Tour + Interview
Seungri's "A Shot A Day" for Nikon
Bigbang "Love and Hope 2011" in Nagoya, Fan Account
At the opening song, when YB passed Ri, he smacked him on the butt. LOL.
During the opening talk.. OMG SO FUNNY! Before “How Gee”, TOP was gonna give his usual “It’s hotter today than before” BUT He’s all “Nagoya is…” then trails off. Then Dae is like, “What? Hot?” LOL then TOP’s like, “Uh, yeah, hot.” LOL.
THEN Ri said they went out for Korean food in Nagoya but the Korean food in Nagoya is better than real Korean food. LOL what? Then Dae is like, “You just mean Nagoya food is just all good, right?” LOL. THEN YB starts his “Nagoya-goya-goya” which he did in all the cons. He uses random words or names and repeats the last part. LOL. Then Ri was like, “G-Dragon, what’s the next song?” But before he could answer Bae was like, “The next song is HOW GEEEEEEEEE” LOL.
Bae was seriously SO genki (energetic) today, stealing spotlights. LOL but guess that’s allowed today. He kept doing backward handsprings. During his bday encore part, after his dance, he did 2 backward handsprings then one back flip (no hands). AWESOMENESS!
GD was extra bouncy today too but he paid less attention to the fans today compared to the others when he was concentrating on the songs. The MC after “Beautiful Hangover” was AWESOME TOO! OMG! LMAO. Bae was again doing his repeating the last part of words and then TOP was all like “WTH are you doing?” and mimics him with “Nagoya-goya-goya” but with less enthusiasm. LMAO and he spends the ENTIRE MC repeating words like YB LMAO. And the others are like, “WTH ALREADY?” and Ri’s like “What’s it even MEAN?”
Then Ri was like “I have a present for you all” which is his Tanoshingo impersonation and he says it’s new which he always says but Dae was like, “Well, it’s not actually new, is it?” LOL and Ri’s like, “Well, no…Haha and Dae’s like, “Do it next year. Not now” LOL. Then Ri pretends he’s all embarassed so everyone, including the members were like “Ganbare”!
THEN OMG RI was like “GDRAGON, do it with me!” He goes on to say how cute GD was yesterday doing it (FORGETTING TOP! HEY! LOL) and says they should do it together. He’s all like “It’s embarassing!” but Ri’s like, “No, it’s cute!” So GD gets ready to do it then suddenly he’s like, “TOP, DO IT TOO! You were cute!” So the three go to the center and do it twice, while YB and Dae are shaking their heads in the corner. LMAO. After the second time, they were like “OKAY! NEXT!” lol. I love how GD butt wiggles but does the end part properly, where as TOP just really goofs off. IT’S SO AWESOME! Then Ri’s like, “This is special only for Nagoya because we didn’t do this for Makuhari and Osaka!” which is true!
Oh and ALL through the MC, YB and TOP are joking around with repeating the end of words like their names. AND OMG TOP was joking around in Japanese, repeating whatever the others said the way YB did. LOL. THEN! At the end of the MC, when they were walking back, Ri was like ”You were REALLY cute, G-Dragon!” and GD was like, “Kawaii ja nai” which is “It’s/I’m not cute!” and TOP repeats YB’s way. ”Kawaii ja nai-nai-nai” LMAO. Then he repeats the Tanoshingo impersonation the same way. LOL. No actions, just words. Still hilarious. Oh and when YB stumbled over his words, the audience was all “GANBARE!!!!!”
Before “Cafe”, TOP suddenly speaks while the lights are going off, saying, “Does anyone have ice-cream?” LMAO

Birthday surprise for Taeyang
OMG MY SEAT WAS AWESOME!! SERIOUSLY!! I can’t believe I was like 4 people away from them!
Before the start of the con, there was a note on the screens saying there’ll be a birthday surprise for Sol so until then, hold off all bday messages. At the end before the encore, the fans were confused about whether to sing Happy Birthday or My Heaven. It took ages before My Heaven finally won over. Sad. THEN..
It usually takes AGES before they come out for their encore but suddenly the stage lifts dropped down & they stuck their heads out. Cute. They finally jumped out and YB had a sash on. The other boys had huge birthday hats on! GD took his hat to reveal…a chonmage wig. Lmao! ADORABLE! Later it was passed on to Dae who wore it. Lmao.
ANYWAY, so they did their encore as usual but at the end when they were doing their goodbyes, the staff suddenly brought out cake and the other members took bits of cake & rubbed in on his face and hair! Lmao. After that it was time for pics. GD started wiping YB’s face with his towel then later TOP followed. Then they took pics with fans as the background so I’m sure there’ll be news.
(They are seriously super HOT in real life. OMG. What? How are they that hot! And I noticed that TOPs trousers are freaking TIGHT!)
So yeah they did their 2 encores then the bringing out the cake. Then seriously GD WAS ALL OVER YB. He looked SO happy for him. High fiving him often & just sticking around him. SO CUTE! During the pics, Dae was posing with YB while holding the cake YB also did muscle flexing poses which was HOT! And OMG so during the ending, with the rest of the boys cheering his name, YB goes and dances in the center stage, the other boys still on the main stage.
THEN YB starts taking off his clothes and throwing it. OMG SHIRTLESS YB! SO HOT IRL TOO! OMG! Before he threw his shirt, he nodded at the girl he was throwing it too. Same thing GD and Seungri did to the ppl he threw stuff to. They seriously gave away so much stuff. And GD stole a penlight from a fan during a song and never returned it. LMAO.
OH and SO CUTE. They picked up YB and threw him in the air 3 times. Oh he was SO HAPPY! SO CUTE!
Okay so there was no singing of Happy Birthday btw. SAD! We tried starting it but they ended up playing a bday track & after GD starts “HAPPY BIIIIIIRTHDAAAAAY!” and he starts a call of “GO TAEYANG! GO TAEYANG”.
They srsly walked ALL OVER all the stages, dragging it out a little longer than usual (not singing, just saying thank you & throwing stuff). Ri again said to take care going home and call him when they get home. TOP was making heart signs in every direction & then bowing & saying thank you in Japanese.
When YB was dancing, TOP tried to beatbox to it but YB had already moved to another stage. I think that’s it for the end/encore/bday. YB did make a speech saying thank you and that he really enjoyed it.

G-Dragon, Yoo In Na-why they don’t have a cut in the CF which is filmed together?
Yoo In Na who has been active in filmming drama and other areas of showbiz has filmed a CF with G-Dragon. The mutual characteristic of them is they are both ‘fashionista’ and this is the first time these two stars appear together. However, in the CF, there is not even one cut that they are filming together which has attracted attention.
On 16th, according to the advertising agency, TBWA, G-Dragon and Yoo In Na appear in the G Market’s new advertisement ‘OMG’ (Oh My God) which has been being broadcasted since the start of this month, where they exclaim about the service and customers' benefits while enjoying shopping.
Originally, G Market and the CF producer have planned that G-Dragon and Yoo In Na should film most of the scenes together. In order to carry out the plan of the CF,they have tried to adjust the schedules of the two stars but was not successful. At the end, the wish of shooting the ‘couple’ shots were dashed and they had to film their parts individually.
Having to film a film, deliver live broadcast on TV entertainment show at night coupled with her filming a drama,Yoon In Na really has a busy schedule. Although she has tried twice to adjust the schedule to fit GD’s. their available time slots still cannot fit each other.
The thing that the producer of the CF worried most is G-Dragon is also very busy due to the recently resumed activities of BIGBANG, their concerts and their starting of activities in Japan, he might not be able to finish the shooting. However, the real situation is totally different.
Since they are both very busy; therefore, the related staff said, ‘G-Dragon is busier than a big model.’ And ‘In Yoon Na is a trend now.’
A staff said, ‘at the end, we have to give up our favourite scenes but their fame is big enough to bring good advertising responses which can compensate that.’
