Big Bang’s Seungri wants to appear on more variety shows

Big Bangs Seungri revealed his thirst for the variety world during a press conference for the “2010 YG Family Concert” on December 5th.
Meeting with reporters after the concert, Seungri was asked whether he felt pressure in having to show not-so-pleasant sides to himself, to which he answered, “Not at all.
Seungri previously amused viewers through SBS’s “Family Outing” and “Strong Heart” with his candid confessions, even earning the nickname ‘variety idol.’
He continued, “I don’t think that idols have a separate image they need to maintain. If it’s for my fans to see, I have confidence in showing them a variety of different sides to me, not only as a singer on stage.
Regarding his leave from MBC’s “Enjoy Today” due to his comeback album preparations, Seungri continued, “I’m busy right now for my solo album, but I want to return to my fans through variety programs soon. I’ll be honing my variety skills until then.

Pinoy K-pop fans! Are you going to the ‘Philippine KPOP Convention’?


We know that some of our readers hail from the Philippines, so here’s an awesome announcement for the Pinoy K-pop fans!
The Phillipine KPOP Community Inc. has organized the second “Phillipine KPOP Convention” for December 11th at the PICC Forum. Local fan clubs of over 40 KPOP groups and artists have been invited to celebrate their love of K-pop music for one spectacular day only! Thousands of screaming fans attended the first event last year, so we’re sure that this year will draw in many more.
Enthusiasts can look forward to purchasing fan goods from the fan clubs of their favorite artists, view the K-street fashion show (courtesy of YesStyle.com), and participate in the many contests held over the course of the day (such as the ‘2nd Philippine KPOP Dance Battle’, ‘KPOP Kosplay Year II’, and the ‘KPOP Idol Look-a-like’ contests). There will also be exclusive album launches from SNSD and JYJ, so be sure not to miss out!
While there are no actual tickets being sold for the event, the organizers have established an entry fee of PHP150, as all proceeds from the event will go towards GAWAD KALINGA, a charitable organization that seeks to end poverty by building homes and communities for the less-fortunate. PHP150 is the minimum fee, so attendants are encouraged to donate more if they should so choose.
Doors open at 10AM. Be sure to check out this awesome event!
Additional info about the event (including which fanclubs will be in attendance) can be found through their official website here, or through their Facebook page here.
