G-Dragon talks about being depressed because of plagiarism accusations

During GD&TOP's guesting on Night After Night, the topic of G-Dragon being picked as the #1 overrated musician came up. When asked about it, he answered:

"It's the truth. People have never told me I was a genius or that I was good at music. When that article came out, I was glad because it was the truth."

When asked about the plagiarism accusations against Heartbreaker, he answered:

"I feel like it depends on the person. I think it's a part I have to fix, so I don't make a mistake next time. The only thing I can do as a singer is to show a better stage next time instead of writing an apology. I didn't do anything wrong, but I ignored family and friends' calls and I felt like I had done something wrong. I was depressed, and all the attacks hurt me. I wondered what made them think those things about me. But I felt like I had to move on."

Taeyang with Movement Lifestyle at Nobu Hollywood

Fan account: Last night I headed back up to LA to meet up with Shaun Evaristo and Aimee Lucas for dinner at Nobu Hollywood. They were playing host to K-Pop superstar Taeyang while he was in town visiting. It was my first time meeting him and he’s definitely a super down to earth guy. We were going to take him out to My House but he was still to jet lagged so we’ll have to save it for tonight…

I didn’t want to tweet about it last night because I heard all of his fans have been wondering where he is in LA. Wish I could tell you, but its top secret information.

YG Entertainment attracts the attention of musicians known worldwide

Out of the three major Korean music agencies, YG Entertainment has been receiving the spotlight of famous producers from the states, as their music is centered around hip hop, unlike SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment.

The current musicians sending their love calls over to YGE are Will.I.Am and Diplo. There’s also a wide variety in that some are singers, composers, and DJS. Many large-scale producers and agencies are also said to be waiting for YG artists such as Big Bang and 2NE1 to debut in the states.

edit: Jeremy Scott is not a musician but a fashion icon.

Through such support, YG has been speeding up their efforts in advancing into the international market. Both Big Bang and 2NE1 announced that they’d be focusing on the Japanese market, while CEO Yang Hyun Suk is in under the table discussions with representatives in the U.S.

2NE1 also finalized their first official album productions in the states, and it seems like Big Bang, who’s scheduled to release a new album in February, will be preparing themselves through the same route.

Why are so many American musicians reacting so intensely to YG’s music? Many have speculated the reason to be YG consistently releasing Big Bang and 2NE1 to the public all over the world, by uploading songs and music videos through YouTube and iTunes.

Taeyang and T.O.P’s solo albums were all released on iTunes and ranked in at the top in the hip hop category. 2NE1′s YouTube music videos also earned millions of views. Without any official promotions, YG managed to attract Will.I.Am and other top class musicians by just working with new music venues.

Big Bang’s first sub-unit, GD&TOP, also received praise from the internationally famous DJ and music producer, Diplo (Thomas Wesley Pentz). On January 5th, he linked to the “Knock Out” music video and wrote, “Half a million views in 1 day? I’m gonna move to Korea and produce more music like this.“
