Big Bang is splitting up . . . again!

Big Bang is set to make a return to Kpop, not as a group this time, but as individual artists.  YG Entertainment stated that "excluding Daesung, all of the members are currently preparing for their solo albums.  The member who completes their album first will make their comeback first."

YG seems to respect the talents of each member of Big Bang, as this is not the first time that Big Bang has worked separately (GD and TOP/Taeyang and GD have worked as a duo, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri have released successful solo careers).

G-Dragon has already started his activities -- he flew almost immediately to Japan to work on his solo album.  GD had started his work secretly and did not announce it publicly.  It is known if they other members have started their work or are keeping their work a secret.

But now it seems like it's time for a little friendly competition...
Totally random and equally chanced...
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL COME BACK FIRST?

Big Bang releases Seungri teaser for "Love Song"

Seungri's teaser has just been released on Big Bang's Youtube channel.  Just like the other teasers, Seungri's teaser is only a short duration of 13 seconds.  That only leaves Taeyang for his teaser; 3 MORE DAYS TO GO BIG BANG FANS! Hmm, what will Big Bang do for the last 2 days before their release? Hopefully a teaser that lasts more than 13 seconds. And I don't mean 14 seconds.

‘Hallyu-dol (Hallyu Idol)’ SS501′s Park Jung Min begins his first solo activity. He will be releasing his first solo album under his new agency CNR media.

Due to the Yeonpyeong Island incident, Park Jung Min’s first solo album which was supposed to be
released on 25 November last year had been postponed. Other than taking charge of the writing of the lyrics for his title song ‘Not Alone’ and other tracks in the album, Jung Min had lose more than 10kg in with the efforts to achieve a sleek and chic look.

Instead of the conventional youthful and cute image, Park Jung Min is going for a mature and masculine appearance. And together with the change in style of music, you will be able to feel the difference to that of when he was with his group.

With plans to become an ‘ambitious solo’, Park Jung Min and Hitsong producer Shinsadong Tiger had worked together on breathing techniques. Both Park Jung Min and Shinsadong Tiger has now reached another level of ‘transformation’ to be shown to all in the album. Park Jung Min’s album will be released on the 20th, following on the 22nd will be his showcase and afterwhich he will begin his domestic as well as overseas promotion.

Top Story Thursday: Seungri Imitates Big Bang?

With all the buzz surrounding Taeyang's comeback album, Big Bang's song "Beautiful Hangover", and other Big Bang matters, my favorite event that has happened in Big Bang is Seungri's imitations of all the Big Bang members on Strong Heart... Seungri's hyeongs imitations can be seen here:

Big Bang Comeback: Update... Release Date

Wait a second... IS IT FINALLY TIME FOR BIG BANG TO RETURN?  Well, not time, but we now have a confirmed date! The date is... AUGUST 25!  It will be called "Beautiful Hangover," which may be the most strangest name for a song yet :O.  Very interesting... does it involve alcohol/women... perhaps??

Make Your Own Seungri

Hey Guys! I just visited Always Taeyang, and they posted on a paper model site that lets you make your own paper model Big Bang members! They come with the outfits that they wore in their music videos. I'm guessing they want to give us more reasons to love Big Bang. I know I'll be addicted to making these for a long time... I won't stop until every last one of them is made! :D Then I can have a Big Bang Box People fan house. I made my very own paper box Seungri xD. He's such a player :P, but you can't help but love him. The model is based on Seungri's clothes in the music video "Lollipop." Here's the Seungri I made:

 

(Does it look like him?)

You guys can make your own special paper box Big Bang members here.  Die hard fans of Taeyang (like myself) can go here to get the most recent updates on him.

HEY LOOK! IT'S TAEYANG!
