Tablo - “From the Bottom”

If you really read the lyrics of Tablo’s songs in his solo album, they’re pretty heartbreaking. You can really tell that he was going through a lot of pain when he was writing them.

For me, “밑바닥에서” (“From the Bottom” or “From Rock Bottom”), is one of his best and most sincere songs.

It’s a beautiful and heartbreaking apology to his wife Kang Hye Jung during all of the controversy that was surrounding him. I know there are some already floating around, but I decided to write translations myself and post it for you to read so some of you can see too:

BIG BANG wins Best Male Group at MAMA 2012!

GD’s Acceptance Speech: Thank you. Yayy. First of all, I think the fact that I’m accepting the award from Han Ga In noona makes this feel even better. Thank you for this award. Since it’s a group award, the other members should be up here with me, but they’re preparing for our performance and couldn’t be here, so please forgive that. It’s an honor to share this award with everyone in YG Family and most of all our fans, VIPs. Thank you!

GMarket BIGBANG CF

GMarket is once again using play on words, much like their Big Bang commercials from last year. The phrase that Big Bang repeats, “바다가요” (Bada-gayo) means “Let’s go to the beach”, but the same pronunciation is used for the phrase “받아가요” (Bada-gayo), which means “Take it”, which GMarket uses to advertise their discount and rewards programs for their customers to “take”

@IBGDRGN: Preparations for watching soccer completed. Korea fighting!!!!!! http://instagr.am/p/OCWZoOtgMz/

“@Realtaeyang yessir!! ah but I don’t know anything about what’s what on here”

You’re so cute when you’re confused by twitter but can write a hit song at the drop of a hat

New details from the official YG press release about TOP’s new movie “Alumnus”

Source

• TOP will play the role of MyungHoon, who is a North Korean who gets sent to South Korea with a fake identity and follows orders to kill renegades, to save his younger sister HyeIn
• He will meet another female student in his class with the same name as his sister and develop “strange feelings” towards her (I assume this probably means he’ll fall in love with her?)
• TOP: “I was really drawn to the character of MyungHoon because of the fact he has the image of a cold-blooded killer yet at the same time has an innocence that comes from being the age of high school student. I’m already nervous about how to portray this.”

TOP and Jo SungHa casted for spy movie “Alumni”, Filming to begin in July

Big Bang member TOP and actor Jo SungHa have been confirmed to be casted in spy movie “Alumni”, directed by Park ShinWoo.

A party affiliated with the movie stated on the 7th, “TOP and Jo SungHa’s appearance was recently confirmed, and the contract was completed a few days ago.” They stated, “Filming is scheduled to start in the beginning of next month and last for three months. The first reading of the screenplay was done.” The two actors will play the roles of North Korean spies sent to South Korea.

Following his impressive acting in “Into the Fire”, this will be TOP’s second movie, and the fact that he chose a spy movie out of many casting offers proves very interesting.

“Alumni” will be the story of the son of a North Korean spy who dies unjustly (TOP), who accepts the proposal of another North Korean spy (Jo SungHa) and kills other South Korean agents to save his younger sister.

(Irrelevant information ommitted)

Note: About a month ago, YG Entertainment denied casting confirmation, though it was stated that TOP was considering the role and looking at the possibility in a positive light.

BIG BANG - “Monster” Lyric Translation

It’s been a while
From the time I haven’t seen you, you look good
You’ve gotten prettier
You’ve always been pretty in my eyes

But today you look a little different
Something about you looks particularly colder
Your eyes are filled with sympathy
In front of you, I look smaller

I pretend everything is fine and change the subject
I have so much I want to ask but you just cut me off
Your long hair flows
It hits me on the cheek and slips past
You turn around and just leave
Would I look foolish if I held you back here?

I can’t think of anything to say
Trembling, you take two steps back
Your words saying that you’re scared of me
You’re the one that makes me crazy

I love you, baby I’m not a monster
You know the old me
It’ll go away after time passes
You’ll know then

I need you, baby I’m not a monster
You know me, don’t leave like this
If even you leave me like this, I’ll die
I’m not a monster

No matter what happens, let’s be together forever
When we’re sad, when we’re happy, let’s go to the end
You won’t say that tomorrow
Let’s love like today’s the last day

Life without you is a life sentence in prison
A life disconnected from the world
Your existence to me is a chronic illness, a continuous suffering
It’s foolish for my heart

People in the world have turned their backs to me
Everyone is looking at me with scornful eyes
The only thing that hurts me the most is that you’ve become like all of them

I love you, baby I’m not a monster
You know the old me
It’ll go away after time passes
You’ll know then

I need you, baby I’m not a monster
You know me, don’t leave like this
If even you leave me like this, I’ll die
I’m not a monster

Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, don’t leave
Don’t do this, don’t do this, don’t do this, this isn’t like you
Having become distant, with love split apart
Don’t look for me, don’t look for me, don’t look for me, don’t look for me
The image of me standing in front of you for the last time, last time, last time
Remember me like this
Don’t forget me

I love you, baby I’m not a monster
You know the old me
It’ll go away after time passes
You’ll know then

I need you, baby I’m not a monster
You know me, don’t leave like this
If even you leave me like this, I’ll die
I’m not a monster

I think I’m sick
I think I’m sick
I think I’m sick
I think I’m sick

Yang Hyun Suk promises, “This year, I will do my very best for Big Bang”

Translated by: Sara @ bigbangupdates | fuckyeahbigbangstuff

A representative of YG CEO Yang Hyun Suk stated that he will have the upmost enthusiasm and pour his heart out for Big Bang’s comeback in February of 2012.

In OSEN’s recent phone conversation with Yang’s representative, it was stated, “This year’s first priority is Big Bang…I want to do everything I can for Big Bang. Even though there are preparations for new groups, we have almost been fully occupied with Big Bang’s music, so the plans [for the new groups] have been running late.” The debut of YG’s new groups, which were originally planned for the spring of this year, have a high probability of being pushed back to the second half of the year.

Big Bang’s 2012 GMarket New Years Greetings [ENGLISH SUBBED]
Translated/Subbed by fuckyeahbigbangstuff

Taeyang: A closer Big Bang will make an amazing appearance in 2012

Of the nation’s top male idol groups, there are not many K-Pop fans that hesitate to choose five member team Big Bang as the best. Since their summer of 2006 debut, in the last 5 years, Big Bang has had countless hit songs, including “Lies”, “Last Farewell”, “Haru Haru”, “Sunset Glow”, “Tonight”, and “Love Song”.

They are full of performance, fashion, and personality. Not a typical boy group, Big Bang is a group that has unconventionality. Though it is clearly rare for an idol group to have a producer among the team, Big Bang is a team that has producer G-Dragon among them.

However, as the good comes with the bad, Big Bang has definitely had hardships. 2011 has been a particularly difficult year for Big Bang. With its members caught in controversies, they were put in a situation to quit the plans they had previously made.
