Jang Hyun Seung and Seungri reconcile "Who will cook the barbecued meat now?"

The relationship between Beast’s Hyunseung and Big Bang’s Seungri has been confirmed through a photo.

During filming of the MBC Idol Athletics Championships on the 24th of January, Hyunseung posted a photo on his Yozm page.

Hyunseung took a close photo with Seungri showing the V sign. The photo was posted with a message : ‘This is the kind of relationship we have ^^ In future Seungri will cook the barbecued meat.’ The post received a lot of attention due to the fact that although Hyunseung was now a member of BEAST, he used to be a part of Big Bang, and TOP had recently revealed that Hyunseung and Seungri had once fought.

On the 10th January episode of SBS’s Every Night, TOP revealed a startling situation. During Big Bang’s trainee days, Hyunseung and Seungri had argued over a situation involving barbecued meat that resulted in a fight, which later became a hot topic of discussion. Noonas who saw the photo left messages, ” Really cute”, “Don’t fight anymore, eat well together.” and ” The two of you should happily cook barbecued meat together. “

Seungri and Big Bang mention on Engadget

LG G-Slate spotted in Korean music video, 3D cameras and all?
Oh LG, did you really think you could slip an entire tablet past the eagle-eyed gadget obsessives of Korea? The G-Slate has been one of the more mysterious devices launched at CES this year, but it now appears to have shaken off some of its shyness and made a cameo appearance on K-Pop star Seungri's latest music vid.

Our Korean correspondents (Engadget Korea) inform us that Seungri's band Big Bang has had a relationship with LG since the introduction of the cheap and cheerful Lollipop handset (video evidence after the break), so it's not unreasonable to believe this young chap has an inside line on LG's upcoming hardware. His video shows an LG-branded slate at 0.53 and 1.52, and although we get only brief glimpses, one of them suggests a dual-camera array on the back, which seemingly corroborates earlier rumors of the G-Slate bringing some 3D voodoo to the market. Skip the break and see for yourself.

Big Bang's Seungri on Brazilian TV



Translation: Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake are important names of the actual pop music and serve as reference for many people. Even for a South Korean singer. "Somebody To Love" is still on the radio, in Justin Bieber's voices. The forgotten "Sexy Back" from another Justin was the start of everything. The two singers already got the top place in the music rankings, but they will stay back after this, because Seungri is the man.

Member of the boyband Big Bang, the South Korean singer made a new MV. He has the same music style of Justin Bieber, Usher and Timberlake. We found some similarities with Usher, Timberlake and Bieber. Seungri doesn't talk about his references. "VVIP" is already in the online music charts, it's a hit on the Korean radios and prepares his way in America. Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake should be careful!"

Diplo blogs about Big Bang and releases instrumental version of "Knock Out"


Diplo's blog entry on MadDecent:
"i went to seoul to DJ last year for the first time.. i dont even remember how I met any of the Kpop crew.. but some one i got in touch with someone..
i was a super fan of 2NE1.. those girls are killing it.. people dont know that Kpop sort of runs all of asia and now Japan is the main market for these artists.. but everyone of these guys have proper korean and english skills.. so my beat was for some kids in the Kpop crew.. One of the biggest groups is BIG BANG. the sort ot nkotb/jayz/mileycyrus and justin beiber all mixed into one act...
GD and TOP are the main rappers that go in for verse 3 in every big bang song... but u can tell from GD and TOP.. they are rapper rappers.. not phony.. the have crazy flow
they wear tiny pants on top of tanks talkin about Swag.. these are my favorite new rappers.. so i didnt realize they were a big deal. its just a beat i sent over a couple months back and then the youtube hit and got @mil views in 2 weeks.. kinda swag.. the styling is sooooo much better then US rap its really sad. anyway im moving to Korea now.
