BigBang SPORTS Magazine interview.
The 5 members of BigBang are a lot more good looking and shyer than what you’d seen on the screen. Debuting with the theme “Other idol groups, move out!” BigBang is not just some pretty faces. They have amazing talents for a newcomer group, and you will understand what Yang HyunSuk meant by “Changing the definition of Idol Group” when you see their smiles.
From 20% to 40%.
BigBang is formed by 5 very young members. From the very beginning, progress of how they trained, getting reprimanded by Mr. Yang, and kicking out a member etc had been taken down and was broadcasted to the public in a music channel.
With that, JiYong replied. “We need to train and work harder since it’s broadcasted, and the teachers were training us harder than usual. It was scarier and stricter under the limelight. Mr. Yang had only given me 40% recently. I had been training with YoungBae for 6 years, and he only gave me 20% in every week’s test. I will be working very hard.”
JiYong, also known as G-Dragon is a child star who was involved in the album, ‘2001 Korea’. He is currently in his 3rd year in senior high school.
He had thought about giving up after endless trainings and receiving negative comments, but he couldn’t give up his dreams after he read the encouragement letters the fans gave. YoungBae, who underwent the same tough training with JiYong for 6 years took part in JinuSean’s MV ‘Ayo’ because he wanted to debut as a dance singer like his idol, Yoo SeungJun and H.O.T.
The 2 of them had been challenging each other, bringing each other’s abilities to a whole new level.
Choi SeungHyun, who had been rapping in underground as Tempo, is a devoted HipHop fan and possesses amazing rap skills. SeungRi, who was from a group which received the GuangJoo Culture DaeSang, has a soft and sweet vocal while DaeSung, who didn’t give up his dream even though his family members were against him and was being sacked by his school, has a powerful voice. Everybody has amazing talents to make it to BigBang.
They had been contributing in their singles, writing lyrics and composing.
JiYong expressed, “When we say, “Move out! Other idol groups!” we don’t mean it in a bad way. We want to be taken differently from other idol groups.”
Determined to awe not just the 10’s, but even 30’s and 40’s, their confidence lies in taking part in composing, writing and choreographing.
The worldwide fans
BigBang had recently gone to Japan and U.S.A for the YG 10th Anniversary Concert, and they had a shock when they saw fan-made boards with ‘BigBang’ written on top.
There were not just Koreans, but also Caucasians and gave BigBang a good surprise.
They replied happily, “It’s a very lucky thing to have someone who knows us.”
It had been a very tiring experience for them, after not having enough sleep when their single comes out every month, and they had gone straight to training after reaching U.S.A even before their bodies could accommodate with the time difference. However, they were working very hard.
The boys also want to thank their ‘nuna fans’ as well.
Choi SeungHyun expressed, “Sometimes there will be pizza and rice waiting for us in the morning, prepared by the ‘nuna fans’. They didn’t do it as a fan, but as someone who cares for us.”
BigBang also received lots of love from their fellow YG seniors. Se7en had been keeping track of the boys’ improvement since Day 1, as well as Gummy and Big Mama. YG Family’s big brother Sean is like their uncle, and BigBang always refer him as ‘Sean Big Bro’ or ‘Papa’.
BigBang said, “We were invited to Sean’s house by his wife, Jung HyeYoung nuna. And we always participate in sports festival with the seniors. We swim together during summer, and have BBQ party during autumn.”
The members are not limiting their dreams to only singing. DaeSung wants to be a MC, JiYong wants to challenge his acting skills, YoungBae wants to be the lead in a melodrama drama while SeungRi wants to be a composer.
