[As Se7en would say… It’s a ShenYuePop “Collabolation”! Some of you have been wondering if there was gonna be a post on this, so here you go! I was actually wondering about it too…so I decided to make one!! So here it is, brought to you by Michelle and sLaVe!]

As you can see, Big Bang is our featured artist of the month! If you’re not into them cuz their music isn’t your type of music, then that’s ok, but giving them a try wouldn’t hurt, cause they’re a pretty awesome group of guys!! If you guys don’t know who they are, here’s a little background info!! Big Bang consists of five guys and is under the management of YG Entertainment. I know that SE7EN and Wheesung had helped train these boys.
Theses dongsengs have hidden talent finally being discovered by the rest of Korea, has many hidden talents. New fans may not know, but all of them beat box! Even Seung Ri, like SO-1, almost didn’t make it – he was shy on stage and he would mess up during dances – but through hard work and re-auditioning, he made it (but now, he’s the one helping in choreography!)! If you watch their pre-debut documentary, you’ll know more about it. Could you imagine what it would be like without Seung Ri? Furthermore, SO-1 making it with the rest of the gang?! SUPER NOVA will actually have a real reason to be a band. [joke explanation: honestly, I see no point in SUPER NOVA. They aren’t that great to me, and who are they competing against?]
Now on to the goods! BIG BANG’s mini album (number two if you haven’t kept count) was released on 2007/11/22. Titled ‘HOT ISSUE’.
To listen to the hot songs and other featured videos, check out >>BB Youtube Playlist for November<<.
Big Bang’s second concert has been planned to be on 2007/28, 29 and 30 by the title of “BIGBANG is GREAT.” And they will also be attending YG’s “One Concert” on the 31st (fans, go mark your calendars!!) SE7EN will be at this One Concert too!!
Big Bang is currently preparing for their Japanese debut. They will debut with an album consisting of English versions of their Korean songs and the infamous “How G” song! Their album will be called “For the World” and is expected to be released on 2008/1/04. 2008 is when the Korean Wave is forecasted to hit again. This time storming over Japan, China, the U.S., and maybe even Europe! Big Bang will now take part~ So you’re for sure gonna hear from them again! [LOL sLaVe’s lil sis: their title for your next post is gonna be something cheesy like "We back, Yo!"]

On the YT list, you will find:
- A hot performance of them with WONDER GIRLS on 2007/11/10; TOP’s first day as a host on MBC MUSIC CORE. They performed one of my favorite INTROS, “Victory” – also Seung Ri’s nickname.
- One of TOP’s acting clips from his drama “I AM SAM/I’M SAM”, where he plays a student. It’s romance comedy about young teachers and students. [Sorry for half assign this synopsis, but I haven’t watched it and wiki is not giving much info at all!]
- A performance of BIG BANG’s version of ‘OAO’. Other than G-Dragon writing for Big Bang (as you can see, he also wrote THIS upcoming mini album) but he writes for other artists! He wrote another YG group’s song. MooGaDang’s ‘OAO (SHAKE YO BOOTY)’. But instead of BB singing it, it was decided that since MooGaDang was new, it’s a better fit for them.
- A fan made MV (using Rain and Omarion’s ‘MAN UP’). It features DaeSung’s abs. And the others too, hehe
- Lastly, a present (and more like a reason to bring this preview in, haha)! LIVE, and English subbed! And for a preview of >>Entertainment Battle<< PT.2…Did you know another awesome YG artists is the girl that starts off Big Bang’s famous song, LIES (Koh Ji Mal)? She is the girl in the beginning saying “hello? hello?”.

Yeap its abt time ppl start to take note of these young fellas…*haha* They are truly a talented bunch ~ the one who rap, rap awesome; the one who sing, sing greatly! ^^
I like most of the stuff in Hot Issue and they have really branch out from their last year works which were more hiphop and ballad. Now the songs are cool and happening *LOL* And coming from such young fella i.e. G-dragon you just cant help yourself to be impressed!
