(Fan Accounts)G-Dragon and T.O.P helped some fans at the Big Show

I went to the first concert (Big Show Day 1) with my family and we were on the 3rd floor. During the concert, my child suddenly said he/she( gender was not specified) had to go to the restroom, so we went out and were on our way back when the stairway leading back up (to the 3rd floor) was crowded. And with no other choice, I carried my child and just waited at the bottom of the staircase for it to clear up.

Artists forced to accept “package deals” to appear on music programs

With the dispute between YG Entertainment and KBS’s “Music Bank” heating up, many have turned to question just how difficult it is for artists to gain even one appearance on Korea’s major music shows, and what that appearance actually means under the business table.


The Korean music industry currently houses three public broadcast shows on MBC, SBS, and KBS, along with a cable show on Mnet. While some may complain that these are far too many considering the fatigued conditions popular idols are forced to work in, the shows are actually limited in their ability to showcase actual music, as they serve as a bigger purpose in the industry and for their networks.
