^^ He's performing at the Super Model Contest at 6pm KST. Since Music Bank doesn't start until 5ish he need to arrive at the Super model contest early to prepare. Sometimes artists are not on the list, but you see them performing like BEG, they weren't on the list last time, but they performed.

[shazy132003]

wow...after few hours..i've finally finish bactracking all the pages..gone for 5 days and cant believe i have so much to catch up on...my comp is now totally GD spoiled with all those picssss..fancams and gifs....thanx guys!!
first stop..Breath MV!..i totally loveeeeeeeee it...
Oh my god..this mv is totally made for one and only purpose---> to kill us..hahahah...gd give the best fanservice..i lyke how he gv us variety in his clothes..he gave us the cool hip hop big T and colourful cap being put on side ways.. got the sexy strap thread outfit on the bed..he gave us a weird black chicken feather outfit combine with sexy dancers behind him...LOL!..he gave us the pretty angelic and pure white feather outfit..and he spoiled us with cute flowery cushion/softtoy outfit towards the end!...wat can i say..he's the only one that can pull off being sexy,cute,hot and pretty at the same time.. not much of sexy scene with the girl = i lyke!...even the dancing part towards the end with the girl and the part when the girl starts holding him didn't bother me..coz he was soooo into the camera n concentrating to kill us with his wicked smile!..( that smile killed me big time..hahah)...all i can say is he really know wat the fans love..and gaho cameo apperance..aigoo! so cute!
global gathering performance was a Bomb!..totally didnt expect him to sing hello and she's gone!..i love the fact that he's not stingy in promoting his songs..these performances making me really excited for his solo concert!..and as for ASF..is it juz me or he juz stands out compare to the rest..maybe it's his blonde hair..haha!..but he looks hot during GGG and Lies performance...im gonna miss the blonde when he changes his hairstyle ;(

[universe]

ohh does this mean no GD at MuBank on friday?? i do hope the supermodel contest performance will be shown though. i need my weekly GD dosage!! thank god there's still Inki on Sunday hehe

wow i did not realise Sony only own 10% of the rights to Right Round. that makes complete sense why YG still allow GD to perform despite the warning letter. i'm so relieved all this would most likely amount to nothing! stupid sony, media and antis for kicking up such a fuss and making me worry unduly.

and how true when you all say that whenever an anti hates on GD, VIPs will support and love him double the amount and possibly more. all these controversies just convinced me to support GD even more, and i decide to purchase every album they will be releasing now, which i did not managed to do so last time. that's the least i can do for all the effort and hard work GD puts in.

[miared]

have u watched the fancam of kush and gd performing it live @ global gathering?
the energy was amazing.
i liked "she's gone" the moment i heard it...one of my favs on his album without a doubt!

btw, i know korean netizens hv a bad rep.
but look around these days, there are many international kpop fans who are just as dramatic and ridiculous when it comes to creating scandals and/or adding fuel to the fire.
sadly that's what kpop and fandom does to ppl...there's this hunger that so many hv to tear artists down - especially if these artists are very popular, hv tons of fans, hv been praised by many in the business, and/or are rivals for their own fav kpop artist. that last one is especially true.

I havn�t seen this performance yet---but thanks to your link I will---right now ;T

About the NETIZENS.........you have a point there-----but starting a petition to have a singer commit suicide-----that�s WAY beyond normal. I seriously would have tracked those damn fools and charged them for such an idiotic action.

It is true, every group/singer has to deal with that crap. But I really wouldn�t care. A bunch of teenies ordering companies around----this has to stop somewhere after all.

(Actually, I would forbid all those annoying, useless sites that give people, especially younger ones, easier success in bullying others----be that entertainers or everyday people)[/b]

(I�m starting to like "She�s gone" more and more each time I listen to it-------anyone else crazy about that song?)

I LOVE THAT SONG A LOOOOOOT!

The best part are the very first seconds---especially when the woman starts singing. I keep replaying that part again and again and agaiiin......

[lovesong3208]

^GD's figure doll is WAAAAAY too pretty.
O.O i thought for a second that it was a girl.

AAAAH!!!! I can't wait for GD to do some more
performances!!! :] kekeke. i'll be stuck to the comp
or TV whichever one it is to watch him. siiigh but
college life calls me. ugh still GO GD! LOVE YOU.

[mykajanine]

GD has written a total of 5 albums and people are throwing all that out for 5 seconds.
whatever I don't care anymore. this issue has been talked to death.

LOLs! His dance move is like 2PM's dance move in "I Hate You."
x) I love it.

[GDCL]

but its pretty far away.

[sweetflower]

Thanks teenace for the amazing 'she's gone' - been waiting forever for a clear version of this song - one of my favorites from GD's album.

Thank you gdcl for sharing good news of GD! Congrats GD for being #1 album seller for 2009 (so far) - the number will continue to grow! I know GD can do it b/c he's a GENIUS (and i don't care if you don't agree)!

VIPs and fans - refrain yourself from going to soompi's 'korean celeb photos' b/c there are lilke 20+ pages of ppl and haters bashing on GD. I made the mistake of going in there yesterday and my blood was boiling from the comments ppl left (it's always the same 7-8 individuals that have nothing good to say about any groups anyway). There is also no need to defend GD or YG or give them reasons b/c no matter WHAT we said, they will always called us fanatics, deaf, or groupies.

GD is a GENIUS and one of the best lyricist/producer/singer/rapper/leader (an all-around package) that I've seen in the kpop industry and no other idols or singers can match up to him. I'm sorry if you're offended, but oh well.

amen to this..
hey Vips, let's chill and remain calm! GD needs our support specially at this times..we don't have to defend GD to those antis coz no matter what effort we put in, they'll remain close minded..
keep believing in GD and YG..the issues will just cool down in time..

[universe]

^^ true to that. antis are just antis who bash other artists to make their idols look good. in my opinion, no one should bash any artists because they all worked hella hard and dun deserved such treatment, unless they really committed a sin or something of course.

besides, who cares about the antis when HB is the top selling album of the year??!! i'm so proud of GD!! this extends beyond VIPs. his music appeals to such a wide demographic!! i feel so happy yet bad for GD at the same time though. he should be enjoying all this without the constant plagiarism accusations.

btw, YG has released a really long statement about that issue. let's wait for it to be translated. i tried using Google Translator but it makes little sense. There's a part when YG apologises to fans or something, but i hope its nothing bad.

-edit-
here's some parts of the long article...shall wait for the rest to be translated

There was a plagiarism dispute about G-Dragon's title song Heartbreaker�.
Why didn't YG state an official opinion about this?
They didn't state an official opinion about this because they had not yet got a reply back from the original author of the song.
I did not think that it was right to state an official opinion before they did.

Sony ATV broadcasted the fact that they sent YG a warning letter through the show�'Current Events Magazine 2580′.
YG's reaction?
Sony ATV only has 10% of the copyrights; the other publishing companies that have 90% of the copyright shares has been quiet about this, but Sony ATV hasn't.
A few days ago Sony ATV broadcasted that they sent a warning letter to YG as if it was something that YG did really wrong and had to compensate for damages.
However this�'warning letter' that Sony ATV has sent is just a official document that you can send a hundred of them a day.
This warning letter DOES NOT have any opinion of the original author.
During the month of this criticism, YG has never asked ATV to go easy on us. It is because we did not want to solve this by using �'unfair methods'�.
If we have to go on court because of the original authors' request, we will do so and we are not afraid of that.

Sony's ATV employee's opinions have been publish by the mass media.
BUT can these people even contact the original authors?
DO the original authors EVEN CARE about these staff�s opinions?

Teddy and Perry have also been winded into this situation.
The pride of these two amazing composers that have been in YG for at least ten years each have been hurt deeply because of Sony ATV's clumsy and careless publishing through the mass media and also they are trying to make the public think that YG is a company full of plagiarizing composers.

I feel like Sony ATV is abusing these popular composers that are also copyright holders at the same time.

-Planning on releasing Taeyangs �WHERE U AT� MV and digital single in the middle of October.
-GD's solo concert on the weekend of the first week of December. Two times. At the Olympic Stadium(where they did �Bigshow�)

credits to YG world

i really love how YG supports his artists. and boy, does he sound pissed. hahaha.

and yay to GD for having his solo concert!! woah Olympic Stadium is huge!! YG is really confident GD can fill up those spaces. twice too.

[jeannielam3004]

Congrat GD!!! We all know u can do it!!!

Im waiting until everything is clear and see what those haters/ bashers are gonna react
I believe in noone except for GD and YG
No one can ever judge those issues ... we can discuss and talk ...
but now everybody (i mean it...everybody... even celebrities ...they work in musik or not) seems to judge him and label him whenever they want
and everytime i offend him they throw everything at me .. called me stupid fangirl or whatever
It's absolutely unfair for GD

Everybody hates u once, VIPs love you twice or even 10...000 times.

this make me feel so...ahmm..iono how to describe what i'm feeling right now after reading this..i think i'm relieved, it's as if i'm about to cry..really..
the statment somehow is a summary of the answers to all the issues..
I'm so happy YG assures us ViPs that they have done nothing wrong and that they are on the right way..

I hope this is a slap to the face of those haters! specially to those narrow minded bashers..!

Here it is:

From YG - 2009 09 24

Hi, It's Yang Hyun-Seok.


For the past few months, there were way too many rumours and misunderstanding regarding YG Entertainment.
Frankly speaking, we kept our words, because we did not think it was right to defend against every single rumours.
I am feeling deeply sorry for burdening you with our silence, and decided to explain ourselves.

I will answer the questions as if we were in an interview setting.

There has been an issue of plarigiarism regarding G-Dragon's solo album title song, Heartbreaker.
How come YG has not released an official statement regarding this issue?
- Apart from the part of this issue, as a person who loves music, and as a producer who is taking part in improving
popular music industry, I apologize from deep below. The reason why YG and G-Dragon did not release a statement
up till now, is because we heard that the publishing companies have sent the music file to the original composer,
and we have been waiting for a reply.

We did not think it was right to release our opinion before the composers have.

It was broadcasted on "News magazine 2580 (시사매거진 2580)" that Sony ATV has sent a warning to
YG entertainment. What is YG's response?
- First of all, we are very upset towards Sony ATV. Everything they do, they try to justify it in the media as an
official statement. I do not know whether they sent the warning to YG or they sent it to broadcast it in the media
in the first place.

To the makers of music, the word 'plarigiarism' represents the worst honour. Even if the composers say 'it isn't
plarigiarized', it remains as unhealed deep wounds to those involved. In case of "Heartbreaker", the other publishing
companies owning 90% of the rights have remained silent, whereas Sony, owning 10% of the rights, have released
their "official statement" on the media.

A few days ago, a lawyer from Sony ATV was interviewed with "News magazine 2580", and told that they have sent
a warning to YG entertainment. The only thing YG is concerned about, is that the public is thinking as if YG has
been sued from the composers and YG is in a deep trouble. Contrary to the public's belief, the warning Sony ATV
sent to YG is nothing but mere document they could send hundreds of copies per day. It contained no opinions of
the composers themselves, it looked like it was quickly made to be broadcasted. Apart from the lawyer of Sony ATV,
there was the president of Sony ATV Korea, Heo Young-Ah. You need to remember that she appeared as a board
member for Korean Music Publishing Association; she concealed her identity as the president of Sony ATV Korea.

Ever since this issue of plarigiarism broke out, YG has never asked for anything from Sony ATV. We did not want to
resolve this issue without the public knowing. If there needs to be any legal actions taken, YG will try its best, and is
not afraid a bit. However, we have heard that Sony ATV has only two to three people working, and we have been
concerned with that. "Are they able to contact the composers directly?" "Are the original composers interested in
this matter at all?" For nearly a month, we have not heard a single word from the composers, and we are doubting
for a bit.

In the warning Sony ATV sent to YG, there are not only G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker" and "Butterfly", but also
2NE1's "I Don't Care" and Big Bang's Japanese song, "With U". We were surprised to see new songs being accused,
but we will think it as Sony's new strategies, thinking that accusing G-Dragon alone is not enough. For the cases
of "I Don't Care" and "With U", they are the works of YG's main producers, Teddy and Perry. Teddy has been a
producer for 10 years, and Perry has been for 15 years. There are hundreds of songs they composed and
produced. Among them, there may be cases they might be accused, but for the past 10 years, there has been any
accusations for their works. They remained in YG despite the countless scoutings from others. They have high pride
s of their music, and are hurt deeply from Sony ATV's hush press releases. Their hurt pride is not able to be healed
fast, and YG has been accused full of "composers who plarigiarize" in the public. To be honest, I think because they
are famous and both producers, Sony ATV is using them for their advantage.

Sony ATV has accused that G-Dragon's "Butterfly" has copied OASIS' "She's Electric" for having similar parts.
The musician who appeared on "News magazine 2580" stated that the parts the two songs are similar are 2 bars,
panning approximately 5 seconds. But he also stated that because that is the main sequence melody, it may be a
problem.

Then, I think I get to ask you a question as well.

A few days ago, Mariah Carey's new song, "Standing O" teaser was released on youtube. Comparing this song to
"I don't care", you get 8 bars of similar parts. It is 24 seconds, instead of 5 seconds, also has it as its major motive,
and adding up the similar parts together, results in approximately 1 minute. What is Sony ATV's opinion towards this song? I don't know, but I am sure that you can't easily say that Mariah Carey has plarigiarized 2NE1's song that was
released 3 months ago, although it contains longer and clearer motives from "I Don't care".

I have thought reversely as well. "What if this was G-Dragon's music? What if it was the other way around?"
It is quite scary.

Although embarassing to admit, the music Sony ATV presented for "I Don't Care", none of the composers nor
myself have heard the song, because it isn't the type of music we listen to in the first place. Upon Sony ATV's
standards, if you were to put together pieces of any music together by force, I do not think any music could be
innocent in your standards. If protecting the rights of publishers is Sony ATV's job, you should also take a note that
other publishers' dignity and rights are just as important.

Because Sony ATV released such rash public statements, YG and G-Dragon had to receive more sarcastic remarks
and offensive responses, but we decided not to release our statement towards Sony ATV through the media. It is
because we respected your company, NOT because we did not have anything to say. The first and last proposal
from YG to Sony ATV, is that please deliver us the opinions from the original composers to YG, and stop releasing
unconfirmed statement to the media before anything finalizes. If the 4 songs you warned YG are proved to be
innocent in the near-future, you should be prepared to see YG's reaction.

Where does YG stand in this plarigiarism issue?
- In my opinion, all the arguments and discussions could be seen different depending on the views and the viewers.
So, I cannot explain my personal opinion of whether it was influenced by other songs or not.

However, in the centre of attention, there is "Heartbreaker". This issue emerged above the surface because it had
similar rap-flow as Flo Rida's Right Round. Right Round is an extremely famous song even in Korea, and recently
another Korean artist has sung it with translation, and appeared on the media. It is impossible that the composers
at YG and G-Dragon tried to go around their way to plagiarize. It is impossible, because with the internet and all,
everything gets revealed quickly.

Many expressed their concerns, "Why did G-Dragon do this? For the rappers who write and rap, it shouldn't be hard
to fix a few verses and re-recording", and "How come did Yang Hyun-Seok, Teddy, Perry and Kush never mention
that to G-Dragon?" It isn't because we were trying to fool the public, but the other way around. I did not expect
such a stir among the public, and I think I should be 100 folds more responsible than G-Dragon as the executive
producer. I am truly sorry to G-Dragon and his fans who are burdened alone.



Any more wrongs from the media and misunderstandings?
- YG never released a statement that "Heartbreaker is G-Dragon's solo-composed piece. Would the public like this
piece if this was a plarigiarized piece?". This is absurd and truly psychotic. Due to high interest to Big Bang and
2NE1, there are many unsaid things being reported to the media, and rumours are creating more rumours. Because
i do not socialize as much, there are haters and misunderstandings happening frequently.

Recently, KBS Radio boycotted all the YG music from being played on the air, and because 2NE1's manager declined
an interview request, one newspaper continuously pours out articles containing some crap about YG.
Even yesterday, he wrote that "Yang Hyun-seok is loving his artists in the wrong way". For the past three months,
there are over 30 articles he wrote against YG. I think the saying, 'you never get tired' suits him for sure. I think it
is maybe because he has too much love and interest towards YG.

Mere entertainment companies can't fight against media corporations. It is also hard to lobby them to put on
better articles. I try to think to groom myself first instead of talking badly of others these days.


There are opinions which claim that "the issue has elevated because YG has been covering G-Dragon
as a genius composer". What do you think about this?
- The funny thing is, for the past 9 years G-Dragon has resided in YG, never I nor YG called him as a genius
composer. I am known to be cold and objective from my artists. The fans know that I am not that kind of person
complementing the artists often. In opposite, the fans were upset because I talked about G-Dragon's collaboration
process with others.

There are around 60 songs which G-Dragon took part in compositing and writing lyrics. Usually he wrote the lyrics
by himself, but when composing music, he collaborated with many people. The reason is because he has been
really busy to take time arranging the songs. When G-Dragon was 16 years old, I have used my own personal
money to get him some musical gear, and G-Dragon has made many hiphop tracks, but because Big Bang debuted
and had rigorous schedule, it had been stopped. I heard that there are 10 people holding license for "Right Round".
It is such an ordinary way of composing music with others.

A few months ago, it is important to be able to arrange songs you have composed, but it is also important to make
the melodies and lyrics, and designing the structure of the song as a whole. They are important because they
cannot be only learned. You need that sense of gift for that part.


The term 'genius' does not suit the 22-year-old composer, and nor does he want it. The reason why so many
people have their hopes for him, is not because he is a genius, but because he has his unique style and sense
towards music. Extraordinary 13-year-old boy has become the G-Dragon of today, and people see him in the long
run and in his potential from today.


There are sayings that this issue is part of the marketing for YG.
- First of all, YG is not that clever to come up with a marketing plan like this.
Especially for G-Dragon, he was receiving enough attention as the leader of famous idol group in Korea, and for
releasing his ever-first solo album. He is even cutting off the appearance on the stage...


There are also rumours that you are having troubles with one broadcasting company, because your
artists are not appearing on the stage.
- Whenever I hear about these rumours, I feel bad towards the broadcasting company. I think this was derived
because of YG's marketing scheme of appearing only 1 show per week. YG is only concerned about the best
program for its artists, we do not try to make better connection with the broadcasting companies. We are not
ignoring the broadcasting company, nor does the company boycotting the appearance of YG artists. In the eyes of
broadcasting company, there are way too many artists wanting to appear the show. However, 2NE1 and G-Dragon
has not requested to be on the show... It is only fair that they do not need to cast YG artists from their side.

Again, I apologize for any misunderstandings.

Now, the good news:

On the first weekend of December, there will be G-Dragon's solo concert. It will be held in Olympic Gymnastics
Stadium, and there will be two concerts. A detailed notice will be posted up soon, and the ticketing will be done after the Chinese new year.

That's it for now. I will try to come back only with the happy news next time.
