On August 18 2009, G-Dragon released his first solo album with the celebration of his 21st birthday.
This year, he is planning to unveil another solo regular album on the same date as 4 years ago
<...>
With the 2nd solo album, what we decided to do was to have one legendary foreign artist
feature in it rather than have several. There were many male rappers on the list,
but what YG was looking for was a female rapper – and there was just one. We found the answer so quickly
and we were unanimous on choosing this artist.
And she is – Missy Elliott.
<...>
This track is a song by YG’s main producer, Teddy, that has a very unique hip-hop beat like
other Missy Elliott’s tracks. Missy Elliott and G-Dragon exchanged ideas extensively over the phone,
and they decided that G-Dragon would come up with the lyrics and rap for demonstration,
which will be given to Missy Elliott in the U.S., who will then add her own rap to complete the song.
G-Dragon’s song featuring the female hip-hop legend breaks away from the convention
with a hint of Korean taste. The tinge of a voice sample from a Korean traditional folk song “Nilliliya”
makes it a one-of-a-kind, classy hip-hop track.
Diplo, the world-renowned DJ and a songwriter, who has been part of ‘Knock Out’,
will also be participating in this album.
I will come back with more details on G-Dragon’s album and a track list soon!
When will Taeyang announce his solo album plans?
To be continued… see you all tomorrow!
в августе? прям по середине камбэка 2NE1 он выпустит альбом?
теперь понятно зачем нужна это волынка с разделением выходов синглов и самого альбома
что бы в втиснуть GD ...
меня немного беспокоит это попытка втиснуть всех во вторую половину года
DAY-4
There are
two boy groups in preparation at YG Entertainment, and because we do not yet have official group names for them,
I will go with Groups A and B.Group A consists of
5 members whose average age
is 20 years old. Two of the members in this group are
KANG SEUNG YOON, whose solo debut date has just been confirmed, and an ex-contestant of K-Pop Star, Lee Seung-hoon.
Group B, on the other hand, is
a younger group with 6 members whose average age
is 17 years old. The then 13-year-old
little boy rapper, B.I., who featured in MC Mong’s “Indian Boy” in 2009 has been appointed as the leader of this group since he was 14.
This year he celebrated his 17th birthday.
As you can see from BigBang who took 7 years to actually make a debut, it is impossible to debut two boy groups at in a similar timeframe.
After much consideration, we are planning to reveal one of the groups this year. I will leave the rest to the audience completely to see how the plan goes.
For this, we have been shooting something called Real Survival Program every day and night. It will show the scene of a fierce battlefield between groups A and B.
The official name of this
survival program is WIN, which stands for YG’s previous promotional phrase, “WHO IS NEXT”
The structure goes like this:
the group that wins the most votes from the watchers can make a debut as soon as the program finishes. The loser group may be broken up or face member replacement. Nothing will be predictable.
читать дальшеThe winner of WIN will be given with an official name WINNER. This WIN Program will be aired one episode a week for 10 weeks from the second week of July. WINNER will be making a debut the day after the 10th episode finishes.
The program may sound harsh, but this is a competition no professional artists can avoid in this field. This will be a program that portrays the reality in the most transparent manner.
How will WIN be run and how can the watchers participate?
YG is fully in charge of WIN Program, and the structure of the show will house many different forms.
WIN Program is a much-invested content with many experienced TV show experts involved. The show is produced by subcontracting and we are expecting to air it on national television. We will be cooperating with renowned foreign portal sites for our international fans. Foreign language subtitle service that includes English, Japanese, and Chinese will be provided as well.
In order to include the expanding market – i.e. the mobile market – we are in negotiation with Kakao Talk to encourage watchers to participate not only through portal sites but also through mobile devices.
How will KANG SEUNG YOON, who already has a debut date, be affected by this WIN Program?
I have been watching KANG SEUNG YOON prepare his debut intensely for the last 3 years. And to cut to the chase, I simply think he is “born to be a celebrity.” He’s just got that much talent.
So it was my ambitious plan to make him a multiplayer, who can handle both solo and group activities at the same time. KANG SEUNG YOON has been preparing with group A members for the past 3 years. While his solo album aims to show an analogue sentiment he possesses, his participation in the group will aim for a wider variety of genres.
Have you ever imagined KANG SEUNG YOON dance?
Have you ever imagined him sing with other group members who are dancing to a strong hip-hop beat?
If you haven’t, you will be seeing it on WIN Program from July. I personally believe that Kang Seung-yoon is now ready to fly further and higher after 3 years of hard preparation at YG Entertainment since the young age of 17.
If group A wins the WIN survival, he will be carrying out both solo and group activities simultaneously as planned. And if group B wins, he will only be working on his solo album. When specifically will BigBang members release their solo albums?
I will be back next Monday with more details!
он правду в понедельник расскажет нам про Бэнгов?
и P.S что то все слишком закручено.
Девочки дебютирует сольно, потом их соберут в группу, но при этом есть шанс что если кто то из них
не получит достаточного количества внимания со стороны публики ее могут не включить в окончательный вариант.
Парни дебютируют посредством ТВ ШОУ где зрители путем голосования решат какая группа заслуживает дебюта и это в то время когда
КАН СЫН ЮН выпускает сольный альбом и угадайте кто будет вызывать больше интереса? хотя конечно во второй группе есть B.I.
но не думаю что мало известный мальчик рэпер сможет получать столько же внимания как бывший Суперстаровец и актер популярного ситкома с альбомом?
и где гарантия что ту группу которую не выберут сразу не расформирует?
жестокий жестокий ЯН устраивающий гладиаторские бои
и вообще слишком много слов, планов и мероприятии на второе полугодие, поэтому пока я не увижу фото-видео тизеры не поверю
и еще одно "и" 10 летний юбилей Epik High!!! motherfucker ведь обещали специальный альбом!DAY - 3
But good news first. KANG SEUNG YOON’s first solo album is a mini album with 6 songs, which is nearing its completion. On July 15, his first song ‘WILD AND YOUNG’ will be unveiled for the first time.
The much-anticipated first song is a fruit reaped by YG’s main producer, Teddy, which strays away from his past production. This song is a strong rock with KANG SEUNG YOON’s husky and powerful voice. His refreshing voice makes the song a perfect one for the blazing summer.
KANG SEUNG YOON has spent yesterday and today working on filming the music video of ‘WILD AND YOUNG’ with director HAN SA MIN, who also directed BIGBANG’s ‘BLUE’ and 2NE1’s ‘LONELY’.
Unfortunately KANG SEUNG YOON’s first song ‘WILD AND YOUNG’ will not be aired on television. Currently we are still deciding on the date of his official album release, and I believe that the date will be confirmed depending on how the other pending issue goes. I will further explain this other matter tomorrow!
When will YG’s new boy group be debuting?
To be continued… see you all tomorrow!
DAY-2
We are planning October for YG’s new girl group’s debut.
<...>
The project initially started off with a plan of 10 or more members in the group, but throughout the years there has been a fierce competition among tens of tryout singers and now remain 6 members.
Unfortunately Yuna Kim (also known as Euna), who was discovered on Superstar K, had to be excluded from the team for personal reasons. However, Eunbi Kim, a contestant from the same program, remains as one of the 6 members.
We are adopting a debut method that is utterly different from the conventional debuting ways that was applied to other YG girl groups. From October, we will be debuting one or two members at a time to see whether they are apt for the public. When we can see that the audience likes them, then we will move on to forming a proper group.
<...>
In a nutshell, each member makes a debut first, and then they will come together to form a group.
<...>
When will Kang Seung-yoon, the ex-Superstar K contestant, be debuting?
To be continued… see you all tomorrow!
