K Bites 
salen muy lindos se ve que les esta yendo muy bien en japon felicitaciones a ellos
can you not talk about the feud between 2NE1 and 4minute?
where in the article was there 2NE1 news? nowhere. so dont bring them up or at least, dont continue and interrogation to the arguments.
other than that, SO SAD that they did mess up the names of the Big Bang members except for TOP. if it was me, i’d be pissed off when i find out
they got big bang’s names wrong in the interview T___________T
“Bic Baang” LOL
I like G-dragon’s hair & style at the end of the vid : )
gosh i know everyone loves 2ne1 and all but seriously you guys need to get over yourselves. the only reason 2ne1 is popular is because of TEDDY’s amazing song making skills. and dude to overall skills in dance and vocals. nothing amazing. 4 minute is criticized due to lack of good song to show vocals. in all honesty both their lives is way better than WG and SNSD when they first started.
4 minute fan were the ones bringing up 2ne1 too you know. unless your blind. stop generalizing. all fan can bash 4minute all they want.its not just 2ne1 fans. you need to get over it because i dont think your wish will happen anytime soon. 2ne1 has antis too. its just that they dont come as strong.
and puhhleasse ! ITS not just the song… up to the sky was a korean song as well, they shoulda nailed it, but did they?
no song is going to be able to save the vocals of hyuna, the leader, and the maknae in 4minute….so far, it’s three songs that they sound terrible singing (including their own song of course)
Boowoo is an idiot! Wow, hahahaa
OMG thank you very very much Soo Kyeong and GDCL!!!!
i’ve missed them soso much!
Dae was so cute when he said sth in the comic
i really love the way Baby danced.
GD is so hot in his hairstyle on stage.
TOP looks good with these toys.
the perf was so good and i think they will make it in JP
[oh and star war! it became bigger and bigger!)
BIG BANG–i wish you loads of success!!!! i hope you guys will appear in music station next year or THIS YEAR!!! better than that, they will top the oricon!!!
oh God BIG BANG!! GD look so freaking HOT!! i love his hair!!! I can’t wait for Emotion to be release..
i love big bang i love gd my gd very cut
ohh i’m so suprised that they already have an apartment in Japan! seems like they are really intending to stay on for some time. and even though its small, the place sure looks cosier and better than their first Korean dorm. and i’m sure they will get a better apartment once they become more famous in Japan
I really hate fan wars. especially when they artists themselves never thought of fighting. hahaha.
anyways, I guess Big Bang’s dorm in Japan is smaller because they are just starting there. Remember when they just debuted in Korea their dorm wasn’t as big as it was now?They had it after their success in Lies. Maybe when they get a breakthrough song they’ll get a better apartment.
But I freakin’ love Emotion. So addicting. always on repeat. hihi.
ignore stupid person up there ^^ >_<
YG family family family<3<3
omg i have to say.. loving yongies hair in this!!
he looks hot!!<3<3
&& the boys' apartment does seem smaller than their korea one..
but korea is their real home so it makes sense that that one is bigger..
&& whoever put up their names soo messed them up!! lolx
soo gald to be seeing so much news on the boys..
they been MIA for toooooo long XD
sorry this might be a little irrelevant. didn’t know who was aoi yu till i went to google her. and she’s really pretty! haha, but i think she looks more korean than japanese to me somehow :X
FOR ALL OF YOU SAYING 2NE1 HASNT GRABBED ANY OPPORTUNITIES GUESS WHAT??
1st. They have signed for Fila.
2nd. Interscope Records in US had been supporting 2NE1 AND! are working together with YG for their next album. Heard 2NE1’s flying to America somewhere end of June to work on their album. Yep, Jimmy showed attention to 2NE1’s talent and capabilities. No plans for American debut though.
Oh Yeah!
(yeh, kind agree with Dara being…talentless…)
&nd oh yeah, the $400-$600 customized headphones was given to them by Jimmy also. Awww…SO MANY PEOPLE SUPPORTS 2NE1.
if dara is talentless i wonder what 4minutes are to be called………..
@ boowoo- “wtf talking about? look @ 2ne1. They can’t even sing for shit either especially dara.., and 2ne1 are the one who’s been up to grab whatever opportunities is coming their way. so if 2ne1 grab then why can’t 4minute do the same thing. you know 4minute is pretty good! so stfu you poker face. stop poking into 4minute’s opportunities!-
are u deaf i like the voice of DARA on their covers than your precious 4MIN(S). MILKSHAKE and UP TO THE SKY by LEXY does it ring a bell to you. Dont drag DARA/2NE1 into this article.
it still sound weird 2 me listenin 2 big bang speak jap but it will take me time 2 get use 2 it
2NE1 & 4-Minute are the third generation of big time girl groups. The whole 4-Minute and 2NE1 issue reminds me of SNSD and WG’s fans fighting over and over again. Let’s just get along and not repeat history.
Congrats to 4-Minute, I’m not up to date with them so as 2NE1. I’m really not going to bother.
best newcomers, ?
even as a fan of theirs, that’s not true lol
WG contract with TBJ has ended. off course they need another artists which have different charms and character amongst its members and HyunAH already signed TBJ even before debut. can’t wait 4minute S jeans
i love bb, i love them !~
Thanks Sookyeong! I friggin’ love you! I needed that bit of Big Bang news! I miss them so much and they look so damnnnnn goooooood. Taeyang. =)
BIG BANG <333
OMG!!! more news please!!! 😀
hopefully GD can meet Aou yi in person one day and I can meet BB in person too one day…hehehehe
Good luck in Japan although i know it is going to be difficult…but hopefully they will do their best!!!!!!!!!
p/s: i’m really addicted to Emotion now
they performed my heaven:
thanks loads of the video! ❤
OMG! This is the first time I’m saying this after GDragon let his hair grow out…He’s freaking hot in this performance! thanks for sharing! he should always, always tie his hair up like that if he’s maintaining the girly hairstyle! Woot!
just watched their milkshake and up in the sky perf at a radio station and i’m totally dissapointed 95% i mean i love this girls but sorry not to the extend at all..hhhmmm i think cube company just want to grab everything i mean opportunities jsut to say that this girls are doin great but i dont think they will make a big name in music industry they are lucky coz hot issue song was a bit good but i dont think it will last…
wtf talking about? look @ 2ne1. They can’t even sing for shit either especially dara.., and 2ne1 are the one who’s been up to grab whatever opportunities is coming their way. so if 2ne1 grab then why can’t 4minute do the same thing. you know 4minute is pretty good! so stfu you poker face. stop poking into 4minute’s opportunities!
you are one seriously deluded 4minute fan if you think 2NE1 can’t sing. thanks to blind (and deaf) fans like you, 4minute might actually become successful. how sad. -_-
hey justine is a 4-minute fan and don’t think that all people who criticize 4-minute are all 2ne1’s fans…justine just stating his/her opinion and he/she blamed their company and not 4-minute..the important thing is he/she didn’t mention 2ne1 at all..so watched out you mouth before saying anything..because i don’t like 4-minute but i have never said anything bad about them
@boowoo,justine didnt even bring 2NE1 up lol you did.
Sorry, I saw your comment and had to reply……
Are you hating on 2NE1 because of what is said about 4Minute, reference to 2NE1? You are one DEDICATED fan (of 4M), I applaud you for that, as well as the good point medirin pointed out. 😉
What opportunities are 2NE1/YG grabbing? None. (And don’t even say they’re not offered anything, cause then you’ll be in denial.) YG wants to protect his girls so they won’t be crazy later, and so that he can be successful off of them for a long time.
So sad of you to say 2NE1 can’t sing, YET, they won two #1s even if they’re a NEW, and a GIRL group (beating out other popular boybands).
The person you replied to did say she liked the girls, but was dissappointed in them. You know, it’s okay to dislike some of the things your ‘idols’ do.
And why the hell did you bring up 2NE1? You feel threatened for 4M? Puh-lease, step aside cause all eyes on 2NE1 anyways.
that’s so sad that some 4minute fans have automatic hate towards 2ne1, just because people aren’t saying good things about 4minute.
2ne1 had a lot of bashing going on when they first debut (and still do), so quit acting like 4minute is the only group getting bashed. all groups get bashed or disliked.
lol..i just saw this and I just feel like saying anything b/c it’s really SAD 😦
1st: justine didn’t even bring up 2ne1
2nd: it’s his/her opinion and he/she didn’t say any HATING on 4min.
3rd: 2ne1 grabbed every opportunities?..let me tell you something I know. 2ne1 only has a couple of perfs. on Inki, 1 perf. on KBS and 1 on Mnet. few times on Radio. signed w/ FILA. gonna work w/ interscope. YG controlled 2ne1’s activities. my point really is, if a month ago YG just let the girls go on all music programs every week and go on more TV shows, I would say they could probably had MORE opportunities w/ advertisements and stuff b/c whether you agree or not, 2ne1 is on demand and are popular. and also they could have probably win more awards. BUT no, YG controlled the girls activity thus all those opportunities of 2ne1 getting more expose on the public didn’t happen. so tell me if they’re really grabbing every opportunities?…
4th: anyone can sing as long as you can hold a ‘note’, it’s just a matter of who can hold them stronger,& put more style. every one have their range of who can sing or not. and it’s a matter of preference.
my advise, THINK before you say anything.
^_^ V
in the first place, justine didn’t say that 4minute can’t grab opportunities. and secondly, face the truth, 4 minute’s cover of milkshake was EPIC FAIL. everyone who heard their cover will agree about that. so how is it that 4minute is “pretty good”?? so what if jiyoon and gayoon did a -rather- nice cover of alicia keys? only 2 good vocalists in a group doesnt make the entire group so-called “good”.
and don’t even try to drag 2ne1 into this. even if dara has the weakest vocals in 2ne1, i think she is still better than 4 minute. and to compare 2ne1 to 4minute? HAH, 2ne1 wins hands down.
look who’s the pokerface who should stfu now. hah.
I agree, their covers are so horrible O_O
(Lexy’s one.. @ Sukira, so messy, Leeteuk & Eunhyuk are like “hu ..? =X”)
Their debut was probably too soon for them ? =/
You sound dumb as hell. Grow up. Why was 2NE1 even brought up, anyway? I love them to death, but there was no need for their name to be brought up. And with your ignorance, it’s really annoying that you’d even speak of them. They can’t sing?! That’s humorous. People like you are obnoxious..
its funny how people would just assume 2ne1 fans to really just bash the group. When its more ironic that even several fans of 4 minute were disapointed with their MILKSHAKE & UP TO THE SKY SONG. They get bashed bc of their vocal ablitiy, what does 2ne1 has to do with it?
*ignores the deaf pig-brained boowoo lol*
anyways, LOL at TOP’s reaction throughout the interview like I don’t understand the heck she’s talking bout ! LOL XD he’s so cute when he’s nervous ! I knew baby and gd always liked nami amuro, hey I have BEST FICTION too ! XDDDDDDD
aoi yu is very lucky to be fanned by JIYONG huaaaaaaa!!
I think those jap are not really used to BB’s kind of music yet. somehow? xp I love GD’s hair so hot !!! they looked sorta nervous at the performance but hell who cares they still banged it ! x) GD is ultimately cute when he shies on XDDDDD BIGBANG will continue giving us their bangs!!!! xd
GD looks hawt at d show, ♥ Big Bang ♥
1st on music chart? They can’t even sing properly! Those high pitch voice is damn annoying. But them again, congratz. If their other song is really good, i will put my shoe on my mouth.
open wide! LOL.
WG are also signed with TBJ,congrats to 4minute!
lol they love comic books. I cant believe that they have an apartment in Japan now,looks smaller then the one they have in Korea.
