GD&TOP reveal photos from the set of their music videos for “Don’t Go Home” & “Baby Good Night”

After choosing “Don’t Go Home” and “Baby Good Night” as their follow-up promotion tracks, the duo of GD&TOP have made a romantic transformation for their two music videos.
On January 11th, Star News was able to report from the scene of their film set and revealed that G-Dragon took the leading role for “Don’t Go Home,” while T.O.P took the leading role for “Baby Good Night.”
The two music videos, directed by Lee Kibaek of G-Dragon’s “Boy,” will have connecting story lines featuring a romantic proposal.

The main scene for the music videos is a set created to look a street from the 80s.  The retro outfits, such as the red leather jacket and washed out jeans G-Dragon is wearing, adds to the overall effect of the street.
G-Dragon’s scene depicts him in a car asking his lover to not go home, while T.O.P appears as a ‘love messenger’ in support of G-Dragon.
In T.O.P’s “Baby Good Night,” T.O.P transforms into a smooth character proposing to his lover for the first time.  The pastel blue suit was meant to give a gentler image to his bleached white hair.
The two have high hopes for the two music videos, as G-Dragon revealed, “Fans will greatly enjoy it, as the connection between the two are unique and features a story line similar to ‘Lie‘ and ‘Haru Haru.’
He continued, “Our title tracks ‘High High‘ and ‘Oh Yeah‘ won first on M! Countdown and Inkigayo.  I hope that ‘Knock Out’ and the rest of our title tracks manage to win first as well.”

Big Bang’s new album will contain a touch of rock music?


On the 11th G-Dragon met with Star News and expressed, “During this time, Big Bang has been working on the new album steadily. This way the music will become more popular.”

He continued, “I thought of the reason for why the public likes Big Bang, and it seems to be that it’s because fans like us best for the music we give rather than the dancing. This time lyrical music that people of all ages can sing along to and feel comfortable will be featured.”

G-Dragon also hinted at the fact that Big Bang’s album would have a bit of a rock orientation, “Big Bang’s new album will contain a touch of rock music. This year fans will be able to come into contact with a big picture of Big Bang’s variety,” he said. 
I’m not a fan of rock music, I liked “Oh My Friend” but didn’t love it, but I’ll be anticipating it anyways! I’m sure it’ll be good but I hope they have some slow songs as well.

G-Dragon checks Seungri's messages?

In SBS's Night After Night, G-Dragon shared why he as to check the messages Seungri receives. He said:
"I am afraid that he would make mistakes and I don't know why I am worried even though we live together.

There was once when we went out to play. That was when Seungri has just be been admitted into university and I checked the photos in his phone. Then I knew that he had a lot of good-looking friends. Taeyang joked that Seungri should introduce a girl to him. After we said that, Seungri started sending messages to the girl very swiftly.

After grabbing his phone back from me, Seungri took a cute picture of himself and sent it to that girl. I, then, saw him receiving a message in which the girl said: "I really want to bite you."

It is okay if the story ended here. But Seungri sent back: "you can bite me for sure" to her afterwards. For the sake of preventing such kind of stuff from happening again, I have to check his messages from time to time."
