Big Bang's Interview on AnAn Magazine (G-Dragon and V.I) [NEWS]

Posted by on September 22, 2010

Criticisms will help me in my development

The person who determines BIGBANG’s music is their leader, G-Dragon~
G-Dragon: We want to release a new album in Korea this November so I’m preparing for it. However, it feels like climbing a new mountain. Lately, "Electropop" is very popular in Korea and I think that we have to break away from this. We want to make a different type of music that will make people reminisce about the past and feel warm. This is the kind of mountain we definitely want to climb.

We heard that his talent as a producer is not only known in Korea but also in other countries~
G-Dragon: To be honest, it is more interesting to produce for myself than to produce for other people. This is because I have a grasp on everything I'm thinking and what I like. During my solo work last year, I was able to express everything I wanted to. But at the same time, I realized that there are a lot of "Anti G-Dragon". But I think that their criticisms will help me develop.

I'm learning a new sense of values now at the university that is not in the entertainment world

V.I, who has gentle features and talks cheerfully is gradually becoming popular in Japan~
I'm actually surprised at myself because I got to speak Japanese fluently so quickly! (Laughs) I always hear that BIGBANG is popular from people in the entertainment world. But is it true!? Our company's staff told me that it's because I'm so focused on speaking Japanese. This is the reason why I'm studying so hard.

V.I still goes to the university even if he's busy~
I have always been surrounded by adults in the entertainment world ever since I was young. I spent most of my life there. But when I started going to the university this spring, I began to meet people who are within the same generation (age group) and I got exposed to different kinds of points of view. I'm now learning a new sense of values from them. School days are just so wonderful. They're something that money can't buy. Also, I got a driver's license. I like listening to music while driving. My dream is to have a car made by a famous designer especially for V.I.

    I'm going to die in anticipation!

I just know it's going to be sooo freakin awesome that they're going to break all sorts of record and take over iTunes and all the other music charts! BIG BANG HWAITING!

    As for the interview...I love how GD always takes the negative and make it into something beautifully positive. He's such a great leader and soooo talented. And maknae loving University life is just so V.I. What a cutie!

  • gladysr

    :O
    GD you di-i-n't. ""Electropop" is very popular in Korea and I think that we have to break away from this."

    Could it be BIG BANG will shake those mothafuckas auto-tune bullshed in Korea?

    I was a little disappointed with the amount of auto-tune in 2NE1's album but I think I will believe GD and hope Big Bang album show them how is done! I'd love a combi of "Haru Haru" and TY's "Connection" and "Take it slow" with some T.O.P's "Turn it Up". Hmmmm......yes indeed.

    I'm XITED again. It better be November. I'm holding you responsible GD!!!!!

  • gladysr

    lol~ I'm okay with auto-tune as long as its not abused but Korea is exploiting it. I have faith Big Bang will shake their music industry and bring something different~

    >____<

  • Vipwong24

    Thank god no more Electro Pop Auto Tune. Bring back the 'lies' days

  • [BB_VIP_XIN]

    im just wandering... NOVEMBER is TOP's (also mine haha ^^) birthday and also the release of their new album??? this is the 2 event VIPs shouldn't miss...

    by the way are there really anti-gd??? how come??? well gd's not perfect but he has done nothing wrong right for these critics to hate him...

  • NukifZye

    I will wait to BigBang >.<
