G Market CF (ToDae)

TOP: Why are you provoking me? Why are you provoking only me?! WHY ARE YOU PROVOKING ONLY ME?! WHY ARE YOU PROVOKING ME?! WHY ARE YOU PROVOKING ONLY ME?! 
Daesung: We’re provoking because you’re in your 20s (Alternative: It’s 12 because you’re in your 20s)
Narrator: In 2012, (people in their) 20s are G Market. (People in their) 20s during all of 2012 will receive a 12% discount. 2012, Big Bang is starting. 2012, G Market.

[T/N: The Korean word for provoking an argument or a fight with someone is “shi-bi”, which sounds the same in pronunciation as “ship-eee” (or “shib-eee”), which means “twelve”. Daesung’s line is a play on the words based on TOP’s line)

G-Dragon Confirmed to Attend YG Family Concert, Big Bang to Perform as 5

The final decision has been confirmed that Big Bang’s leader, G-Dragon will appear at the 2011 YG Family Concert.

According to related parties, G-Dragon was at the rehearsal site and rehearsed on stage for the performance. Through this, it was confirmed that G-Dragon will participate in the YG Family Concert.

In October when Big Bang’s agency YG Entertainment (YG) released official information for the 15th Anniversary YG Family Concert, it was revealed that Daesung, who was involved in an unexpected sudden car accident 5 months prior, would be attending the event. However, there was no mention of Big Bang’s leader G-Dragon, who was undergoing a scandal at that time.

It was revealed that in reality, YG Entertainment was struggling with the decision of whether or not G-Dragon would make an appearance. However, because of the fact that it is an event that gathers all of the YG artists, it was reported that G-Dragon would attend to give back to all of the fans that gave him strength.

The 15th Anniversary YG Family Concert will be held in Korea and Japan on a grand scale with 200,000 audience members, along with top star G-Dragon.

With G-Dragon’s attendance at the YG Family Concert, this will be the first time after a long time that Big Bang will be seen on stage with all five members in Korea.

On November 6th, Big Bang went to the 2011 MTV EMA held in Belfast, Northern Island, as the first Korean artists to attend the event, and won the “Worldwide Act” award, beating out European nominee Lena, North American nominee Britney Spears, and Africa/India/Middle East nominee Abdelfattah Grini.

At the awards ceremony, G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri, attended the event as five members, saying “We’re surprised and thankful. Because we were given this award by our fans, it is even more meaningful”, adding “Thank you VIPs (Big Bang’s fanclub name), and I hope that through this opportunity, we will be able to bring more interest and love towards Korean music and Big Bang.”

Following their “Love Song” promotions, Big Bang has never stood on stage together as five members in Korea. Because this will be the first time in a long time that Big Bang will perform as five members, it is expected that it will give fans great joy.

Over two days on the 3rd and 4th, the 15th Anniversary YG Family Concert will take place three times in the nation’s largest indoor venue at the Seoul Olympic Stadium. Next year on January 7th and 8th, the concert will also take place at the Osaka Kyocera Dome and the Saitama Super Arena on January 21st and 22nd.

Words from a Korean VIP

Big Bang, Be Strong

Big Bang, There are so many things I want to say to you, but I’ll say just one thing

Get back up

What is there to accomplish by sitting alone suffering with guilt? Not being strong doesn’t fit Big Bang.

You want to perform on stage. And you want to meet your fans. You want to play with them, you want to have a good time with them, you want to communicate with them.

So get back up now.

Rather than sitting around defeated, you look better running around with big smiles. Sitting around defeated just means you’ve given up.

So be strong. We’re right next to you.

Even though we can’t be of huge strength to you, can you stand back up? Because we’re all supporting you.

So…brush everything off, and get back up

We’ll wait for you until the day we die. We’ll wait for just you forever.

To our adorable leader, Kwon Jiyong

To the one who despite being young, is the one to lead his hyungs sometimes, Lee Seunghyun

To the one who fulfills his obligation of being the oldest hyung and shows a sense of responsibility, Choi Seunghyun

To the one who has so much understanding and always makes others around him happy, Kang Daesung

To the one who shows both leadership and a great eyesmile, Dong Youngbae

And finally…

To the Big Bang with five members who are smiling brightly like this,
To the Big Bang who always takes care of each other,

We VIPs are waiting for you.

BIG BANG IS VIP

We trust you. We trust that you’ll come back to us.

MBC, KBS, SBS all reported to not have plans for blacklisting G-Dragon
