Jacc X VIP

Daesung’s image has recovered well! The BIGBANG anti-fans are much less active recently so no one talks about his accident scandal anymore, we are very happy about this. He has not had many activities in Korea or appeared on many shows, so he is not as popular as he was before, especially with the public who are not VIP. It will not be difficult for him to become more popular though, I think he is slowly coming back to his old activities, the response to his Infinity Challenge episode was good and so I think we will see more of him in the future! For the solo album, I think there are a few reasons for why . One reason is that Daesung’s image is improving well but YG is still looking very closely at the public reaction to see if the time is ripe and profitable for a solo album from him. YG will never do anything unless he is sure that it will be profitable, that is his motto. So he will put Daesung out into the public more first before there will be an album. I think that similar to Seungri, YG sees that Daesung is successful in Japan and can even have a solo tour there, so it is more profitable to have more activities in Japan. Another reason is that Daesung has often said that he is still unsure about going out promoting in the public without his members, out of the members I think he is one of the most sensitive to what the public thinks of him so when he receives more good praises he will become ready to come out alone. I think another reason is that he is trying to find a style of music that will suit him best, his old trot song Gwisoon was a huge, huge hit in Korea and most of the public think of him as a trot singer when he is not with BIGBANG, but I do not know if Daesung wants to sing trot again or slow songs like his Japanese album. I think trot of course will be very successful in Korea but it is more difficult to say about slow songs, we have many singers who sing slow songs and the trend is going towards medium tempo songs with an old feeling.

[TRANS] Member comments on Japan dome tour

(Source: http://news.kstyle.com/article.ksn?articleNo=1982425 )

G-DRAGON: This concert is like listening to our best album.  It is amazing that we get to go on 6 dome tour so we wanted to show BIGBANG’s past, now, and also see what we can do in the future.

TOP: This year it seemed like we were apart from BIGBANG activities but I am thankful to go on a tour as five.  This concert, of course our main purpose is to sing as five, but I think the solo stages are highlights.

SOL: It may be impossible to prepare perfectly.  The concert is not made just by five of BIGBANG, it is made by the band, dancers, numerous staffs and the audience, so please thinks that this is your concert and work hard.  Let’s make an un-regretful concert!

D-LITE: I am afraid if I can use the experiences I gained with my solo activities but I am relieved during rehearsals when I am together as five.  Are you also relieved? Let’s sing and dance until we lose our voices and make a fun concert.

V.I: How are you everyone? I have done many kinds of solo activities in Japan but I wasn’t the only one who have done solo activities.  Let’s make a fun concert that we can notice the power from those gains from solo activities.
