Taeyang Comeback Photos Revealed






It's been nearly a year and a half since his first solo debut, but now Big Bang member Taeyang returns with concept photos for his comeback.

He'll be returning with "Where U At" on the 15th after his hits "Prayer" and "Only Look At Me" from his first solo mini-album titled "HOT". Since his solo debut he's been receiving great praise and was even dubbed the "lead singer of all pop idol groups". Fellow composer and former leader of 1TYM, Teddy, revealed that it will be big as Taeyang's past solo hits, and also 2NE1's "Lollipop", "Fire", and "I Don't Care".

Taeyang who has surprisingly never had a girlfriend before, sings about finding his girlfriend in the future wherever she may be. The story is said to be filled with passion and a lot of his heart.

YG Entertainment revealed that Taeyang will not be making any special stage performances and also will not appear on air to promote the song. The reason behind this is because he will also be releasing a 2nd single titled "Wedding Dress" on the 11th and plans for that will extend towards the end of the year.

omg..look at his arms..yummy
can't wait...the way he posing is hot..so TYish

oh..I just noticed the smoke on the pic...I wonder how the MV will be look like..smoking HOT for sure

woohoo..another song..but i don't get it about the release date..does this mean he will release "Wedding dress" first on 11th then "Where u at" on 15th???
aww..the article didn't mention about the MV release date..

[Y-VIP]

yay for the pictures! can't wait for the 15th!
I'm a little confused. so "Where U At" will be released Oct 15 while "Wedding Dress". Nov. 11??
Don't you think he's concept photos are too simple?? (more skin please! lol!)But still I have faith on YG! It's gonna be explosive!

[johnnyquest89]

^ I'm thinking they meant the 11th of November. but If I'm wrong all the better. Though would be wierd to come out with a song then 4 days later come out with a MV for another song that you wont be promoting... o well hope he isnt in the Wedding dress atleast

[aa-chann]

While Taeyang's new comeback photos don't really tell us a lot, they do lead me to believe that it's going to be a similar style to his last mini album. And that's good for me

[ncly]

i think Wedding Dress will be released on 11th of November. 11/11 (pepero day!!) :]...
he looks so handsome in those new photos, the outfit and the set look awesome.

[SillyyJenn]

TaeYang!! <3333
can't wait! one more week!
the concept seems to be the same which is awesome because he's looking really good and the song should be awesome (:
"Where U At" sounds a bit gangster. LOL.

[heartsongs]

I was so excited when I heard the news about Tae Yang's single. But no promotion yet? So we have to wait till November to see him on stage? Arg why that long Mr YG. Sometimes I really can't understand YG's marketing strategy. Well a new song and a MV is still better than nothing.

[Banana Peel]

I'm hoping YG would put more hype into taeyang's debut just as he did to GD's.

Okay, so maybe I was kind of hoping Taeyang's new concept would be something more, hm, different? Because it seems as if this sort of concept stays with him wherever he goes, haha. But then again, I'm just glad it isn't anything drastic (for example, if his hair changed, i might cry, lol)

I'm crossing my fingers that his song won't be so auto tuned ! pleasseeeee, haha.

& I'm loving his 2nd single's name 'Wedding Dress' sounds romantic
edit:

@strawberryme, oh my! Yes, he should totally wear a suit for that promotion. And better yet, his tux eeek, ahahaha.

[lovebomvn]

He's so cool in new pics

I cant wait his album

YG always make me suprising

[strawberryme]

^ Yeah that sounds romantic. I don't want to see Taeyang wearing wedding dress tho! HAHA Suit will be okay. Hohohoho! But not promoting? Dang I want to see Taeyang on stage promoting whatever song it is. Can't wait til the 15th and 11th!

[pipobobo]

Oh nice pic.I can't wait.

[sodahead]

I agree with the statements above. I think he should definitely show more skin. He's too hot not to. His body looks chiseled. Hopefully he will let his hair grow a little bit. I want him to be slightly different but nothing to drastic. I cant wait to see a new concept and see how the album sounds.

[nad_donad]

HE LOOK HOT!!!! XDDD
So can't wait for the album.......
I think GD will slow down his album promotion once Taeyang's album is out..
No promotion for 'Where U At'? Hhmmmm....well, let's just wait and see; I am really believing in YG's promotion plan....
Maybe on the 15th of October he will only release a digital single for 'Where U At' and then on the 11th of November, the full album will be released and he will start the promotion with 'Wedding Dress'
'Wedding Dress' sounds awesome too, maybe we'll see him in tuxedo for the MV...XD

While many singer change their style everytime they release a new song, Taeyang still stick with this style; but since he look as great as ever, I really don't mind...

[Kushi]

Mmm I'm confused now... Is Taeyang coming out with a single again, or is this the full album? At first it was said to be a full album and then now a single?

[Tressia]

LOL obviously I would never ask that question out loud if I were Taeyang...."Where U At?....Every girl is gonna jump at the chance to say "I'm right here!!!" and go crazy..LOL I can picture it right now.

It would be funny if the girl was someone he knew all along and romantic...hahahaha...

[blackjackVip]

WHAT?! no promotions...????....ugh,
i wanna seee him perform though..
he's lookking mighty fineeee these days....love the pic!..
so he still doesn't have a gf now? oh well, he's still young anyway..he's like 21 right? still have aloooot of time ahead of him to find his first gf. don't worry taeyang, i'm here if u need me...LOL

[rucca]

At first i heard that the title of his new song will be "Where U At," i thot it sounds like gangster and of course hip-hop but now, article said that it's more like YB's real voice since he's never had a girlfriend before, i imagine kinda sweet lyrics? heheh

Mr.YG stated before that the reason YB is releasing digital single first rather than a full album right away is because he plans to promote his album as long/much as he can and Mr.YG knew YB's fans complained about short promotion period last year but right now no promotion for 'where u at' and releases 2nd song as digital single again just after half month later? I know what article said is not 100% correct but HOPEFULLY more good news is coming thru 'From YG.'

Can't wait >_<!! YOUNGBAE-YA!!!

[elavip]

^^ he'll start promo after 2nd single is released.
gosh boy looks sexy, sexy. classic yb. and i love the song titles! 'wedding dress'
so wait, 'where u at' will drop the 15th of this month? nicee.
i'm so excited. much anticipated!

Big Bang’s TaeYang to Come Back as a Solo Artist but No Promotional Activities Planned
By HyungWoo Kim [cox109@newsen.com]

Boy band Big Bang’s TaeYang is coming back as a solo artist after 1 year and 5 months.

His new single, "Where U At" will be released on the 15th. Last year, with his first mini album, “HOT,” containing such hit singles as “Look Only at Me" and “Prayer,” TaeYang made a strong impression on both critics and the public. He successfully broke the mold of a lead vocalist of a popular boy band and garnered both critical acclaim and popular success as a serious musician.

Last year, he topped various music and TV show charts for several weeks and won awards at the Korean Music Awards, where the winners are selected by music critics. When he held his first solo concerts last year, he made one of the shows only for adults, making a bold attempt to communicate with the older generations, breaking the mold of the so-called “idol star.”

The famous dancers from abroad who appear in the "Where U At" music video to be released on the 15th (reportedly) praised him non-stop saying, “TaeYang is better than any professional dancer we have ever seen. It’s absurd that a singer is this good a dancer!”


“Where U At” was written and composed by Teddy, who has made a hit after hit, including TaeYang's "Look Only at Me" and "Prayer" and 2NE1's "Lollypop," “Fire” and “I Don't Care.” The magical pairing of TaeYang and Teddy is making people wait with high anticipation.

The lyrics for “Where U At” were written based on the fact that TaeYang, who’s 21, has never had a girlfriend, and will ring true to the listeners as they truthfully describe TaeYang's real-life situation that he dreams of a girl who must be somewhere in the world and whom he will meet someday.

With TaeYang coming back as a solo artist, competition among Big Bang members is expected to ensue with G-Dragon already dominating various charts with his first solo album. However, don't hold your breath - you won't see any off-line showdown between those two.

YG Entertainment says, “’Where U At’ will only be a sort of preview for TaeYang’s full album to be released on a later date and at this point we have absolutely no plan for promotional activities or appearances on TV shows.”

That is because his second digital single and the title song of the album, "Wedding Dress" is going to be released early November. Therefore, his promotion period will be from mid November through end of the year.

You will be able to get a taste of “Wedding Dress” toward the end of the "Where U At" music video.

There had been a rumor that TaeYang’s first full-length album would be released in October following G-Dragon's first solo album released in August. What exactly TaeYang has up in his sleeves releasing two digital singles first makes people curious. This is what makes people suspect that YG Entertainment might be planning a blockbuster promotional strategy.

TaeYang caused a sensation in the markets for male solo artists last year. Now he is coming back after 1 year and 5 months. He is already making many people curious as to what kind of new style and music he will bring to touch their hearts and wait with a high level of anticipation.
