Reasons for Big Bang and G-Dragon Dream Concert TV Broadcast Absence

We already knew beforehand that 2PM's performance won't be shown during the tv broadcast of the 2009 Dream Concert on 11 October through SBS. But fans, especially VIPs wasn't counting on that to happen to Big Bang and G-Dragon as well. On the day of the concert, it was revealed that along with 2PM, Big Bang and G-Dragon's performances will not be shown on tv. Why was this so?

A Dream Concert staff tried to explain the situation, "When we signed the contract with YG Entertainment earlier, they had actually opted for the non-broadcast clause. There was no problem with that absolutely." YG Entertainment said, "We felt that it was not important whether the performance was broadcast or not, it was the participation that mattered. Besides it's a written rule in YG Entertainment that the non-broadcast clause is enforced when it's not a promotion period."

But that statement sounded ambigious especially when their performance at the recent Asia Song Festival in September without Daesung was aired. Furthermore, why was G-Dragon affected? Isn't he currently in the midst of promotions? And what about 2NE1 then? Aren't they currently on hiatus, preparing for their new album?

YG Entertainment explained further, "Although Big Bang performed as five on stage last night, Daesung who has just recovered from his injuries wasn't at his best condition, meaning that the overall performance level of Big Bang was affected as well. Thus, we decided to opt for a non-broadcast since Big Bang couldn't show off their best."

You won’t see Big Bang on the Dream Concert broadcast?

The Dream Concert was held earlier today at the Seoul's World Cup Stadium and it was pretty epic. The Dream Concert is scheduled to air on SBS, October 11th at 4PM (Korean Time). Many of you already knew that 2PM was going to be edited out of the official broadcast, but now there's word that Big Bang won't be on the official broadcast as well.

No, Big Bang didn't do anything wrong, instead YG Entertainment put in a special request that their performance be cut out from the broadcast. There's no word on the reason why they put in such a request, but people can speculate. Maybe because Daesung was rusty from a long layoff and they didn't want people to see Big Bang with a less than stellar performance? Your guess is as good as mine, it's quite unfortunate because many people wanted to see Daesung and Big Bang perform together... it's been a while, I guess that'll have to wait.

Daesung To Appear At 2009 Dream Concert Afterall

After lots of deliberation over the past few days over Big Bang's Daesung participation at the 2009 Dream Concert, it was revealed a day before the actual concert that he will be on stage with Big Bang afterall.

YG Entertainment had only said yesterday that although Daesung had recovered from his injuries in the car accident, he's not yet in 100% condition. But with Daesung requesting to perform and the fans hoping to see Big Bang together as five on stage again, YG Entertainment has relented and has decided that Daesung will perform on stage tomorrow night.

A YG representative said, "Although Daesung's participation is now confirmed for the 2009 Dream Concert, we have not decided on how many songs he will perform to since he's really not fully fit yet. Big Bang will be performing two songs and there's also a joint collaboration with their juniors, 2NE1 as well."

Big Bang’s Daesung at 2009 Dream Concert?

Big Bang member Daesung, who was in a car crash nearly 2 months ago, has been unable to join his fellow Big Bang members in their public performances, most recently at the 2009 Asia Song Festival and Idol Big Show.

The singer was discharged a little over 2 weeks after his accident and has reportedly been recuperating well. But will he be able to return on stage for the 2009 Dream Concert, which is just two days from now?

An official representative of Big Bang said, "Daesung is not yet in tip top condition to perform dancing on stage and it might be difficult for him to attend the upcoming 'Dream Concert'. However, we're still watching over him and it's not yet set in stone."

The future prospect doesn't look too good, and if worse comes to worse and he is not able to perform, Big Bang will perform at the concert on the 10th without him as a 4 man group with only G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P., and Seungri.

The idol you want to visit your hometown with is…?

This coming Chuseok is a Korean holiday that lasts for three days in which most people return to their hometown to pay respect to the spirits of their ancestors. Although to most youths, returning to their hometown sounds about as much fun as watching grass grow. However the music site Monkey3 held a poll from the 24th to the 28th that gave suggestions on how to spice up the trip back home.

Monkey3 put up a poll titled "The Idol You Want to Visit Your Hometown With" on their website, and SNSD's Taeyeon came in first with a whopping 45% of the votes. Lee Seungi came in second with 15%, SS501's Kim Hyun Joong followed with 13%, Big Bang's Daesung came in third with 11% with Sandara Park and f(x)'s Sulli rounded out fifth and sixth place.

Big Bang Back on Korean TV After 10 Months Absence

Big Bang has been working hard on their Japan promotions as well as solo projects and are planning to return to the Korean scene on T.V! Sadly, not with a new album.

The five-member group will come back as part of the upcoming Chuseok special on SBS. This is a surprise appearance since they were not supposed to have Korean activities for most of 2009.

As many already knew, G-Dragon and 2NE1 performed on a special stage for the highly anticipated Idol Big Show, an episode to be revealed on October 3rd. This is a performance unlike any you have seen before! Are you excited?

As this is a pre-recorded performance, it has been reported that G-Dragon performed "Breathe", "Hello" with Dara, and "1 Year Station". Then 2NE1 followed up with "Fire" drum music/rhythmic version as well as "Let's Go Party" from their 1st Mini Album. "Let's Go Party" has not been performed live yet so that's definitely something to look forward to.

Then the surprise arrival of Big Bang had many fans shocked, because no one had any idea they were coming. They were there to support their fellow YG Family members, 2NE1 and their brother G-Dragon. The group sang "Last Farewell" with 2NE1 as well as their song, "How Gee".

Wait till October 3rd for more coverage!

Big Bang filming a new MV?

Is Big Bang filming a new MV? There have been some rumors that they are after photos of the boys filming surfaced on the internet. It looks like Daesung has recovered nicely and was healthy enough to be present for the shoot as well... however there was one Big Bang person missing. TOP, Seungri, Taeyang, and Daesung were all present but G-Dragon wasn't. He probably was busy because of his HEARTBREAKER promotions and his scenes will probably be filmed at a later date.

So what do you think this is for? People are speculating that it's for Taeyang's new MV for his upcoming solo release. When we find out the truth, we'll let you know. It's also good to see Daesung back again.

Daesung films for Family Outing

On August 11th, Big Bang member Daesung unfortunately suffered a horrific car accident. Due to this, he had to miss out on a lot of activities including Big Bang performances, the musical "Shouting," and Family Outing appearances. However although not fully recovered, Daesung has been recovering fast and well enough to film for Family Outing.

On September 21st and 22nd, Daesung was on Jeju Island and filmed for Family Outing. A YG Entertainment representative said, "He didn't really participate in the parts involving a lot of physical activity. He just talked and did dialogue with his fellow members on Family Outing."

It's good to see that's he back on the show! Hopefully Daesung recovers fully soon so he can participate in all those fun Family Outing events once again and also with his fellow Big Bang members. Also, check out the Big Bang VIP Forums.

Big Bang Steams Up Elle Korea

¨

After pulling a Chuck Bass and decimating the majority of the female population on allkpop in the process, T.O.P is returning to Elle Korea yet again, and this time he brought along the rest of the Big Bang posse!

Drenched in sepia and sexiness, this photo spread is enough to cause chronic hemorrhages on the spot. If you thought the leather bad boy look was hot on T.O.P, try translating that to the other members of Big Bang as well.

Take a breather before scrolling down. Ready?










Clips of this shoot were also featured on Big Bang TV way back when, check out the boys in action starting at 1:01. Check out 2:36 for some... Big Bang kinkiness? (Thanks chaoticpse8!)


Fangirlism aside, I'm glad we get to see Big Bang as a whole group again - with all of their individual activities, such fivesome sightings are rarer. Which shot is your favorite?

Daesung Unable to Perform at Asia Song Festival

...And another male idol gets hit with the September curse! Though Daesung's car accident occurred in August, it seems like he hasn't been able to escape the plague that's been hitting boy group members left and right. On the 18th, YG Entertainment announced that this Big Bang member wouldn't be able to join his fellow members onstage at the international Asia Song Festival tomorrow. "He has almost fully recovered," an official stated, "but we decided he is not ready to go on stage yet."

After suffering a nose fracture then undergoing surgery last month, Daesung is on the road to recovery - however, he will stay off the live stage for a bit longer. Fortunately, Daesung's other activities, including his anticipated return to Family Outing, haven't been changed, and he will make his full return very soon.

Despite ASF's killer line-up, these notable absences will not be overlooked, first with Kangin of Super Junior, and now Daesung. Though the likelihood of any more drop-outs is unlikely (knock on wood), the presence of these two on stage will be missed.
