G-Dragon said, "I have been watching 2NE1 closely ever since we were young and I'm so glad to be invited to their concert. I am just so amazed by their stage that I forget that I have to come out and perform too."
Park Myung Soo added, "Now it's summer and when it's winter, I will ask G-Dragon and Bom to perform with me once again."

From another article:
G-Dragon jokingly said, "Because Park Bom and I performed on Infinity Challenge, we've been watching the show ever since (recently). We are now known as "Inifinity Challenge fans". Park Myung Soo is a brave soldier/warrior but we have to support ourselves too. (He's saying that if you worked with Park Myung Soo, you will get popular.)

4.Rookie boy group changes their name due to VIPs' opposition [NEWS]
The members of the group are Enoch, Noah, Yudam, Junwon and Haru. Before they debut, they changed their name from 'VIP' to 'BOYZ'.
Their agency explained the group has changed the name to 'BOYZ' although it was originally named 'VIP'. It got the name because the members are known by it on the internet. However, since it is the same as the name of the Big Bang's fans, they have faced a lot of opposition from Big Bang's fan club. Therefore, they finally decided to change it to 'BOYZ'

Adults say that motorcycles are dangerous and tell us not to ride on them, but don’t the children ride on them anyway? They even pursue for speed. Youthfulness seems to be like that too. You’re at the age where you don’t want to do the things you are allowed to do and want to do things you’re not. When you’re over the speed limit, you might miss out. You won’t know the correct direction and will blindly move forward and there will be lots of twists and turns along the way.
The present me is like that and being a singer seems like I can’t be too sensible. I’m still worried though. I used to do things with no hesitation but nowadays, I need to consider all my options.
This seems to be the process of becoming an adult, but it shouldn’t be like that.
Seungri: I don’t like to lose. In fact I have a strong desire to win and that’s why my name is called “Seungri” (Victory).
If people tell me that I can’t do something, I will want to do it. If they say I still can’t do it, I will want to do it even more. If there’s absolutely nothing else I can do, then my tears will fall. I think that is youth.
Rather than the people who follow rules, the ones that exceed all expectations are those filled with youthfulness and energy. I hope that I can enjoy every moment and stay happy forever under any circumstances.

At August 19 around noon, SeungRi was watching “Street Life” musical at CGV Pop Art Hall in Yeongdeungpo. He kept himself seated and watching the performance through the whole musical, and in the end, before anyone else, he rose and applauding greatly and cheers a lot. The satisfactions of the works were also revealed (exposed).
That day, SeungRi has a tour through the musical theater because of Jeong WonYoung and some of his friends. In 2008, in the musical “Sonagi” where SeungRi have starred, SeungRi obtained Hyung-Dongsaeng relationship with Jeong WonYoung and other friends (I found out that Jeong WonYoung, in google it’s ‘Jang Won Young’, is a band).
After watching the performance, he personally find the waiting room. He told them, “What a really great show”, “It’s a very good musical”.
The news that SeungRi was watching a musical rises the fans’ expectations such as, “If SeungRi will in the musical once again, I’ll definitely watch it”, “I just want to see SeungRi on the stage of musical again”.
4.Taeyang on GQ Magazine (September Issue) [NEWS]
GQ Editor Jang Woo Chul caught Taeyang on the way out and asked him :
Q: What would you do if you’re cast for [the show] “I Am A Singer”?
A: I’m already a singer. Actually I’m into Cho Yongpil’s songs these days. I’ve not heard domestic music that much, so I never thought I’d like them. But while listening to Cho Yongpil’s songs and watching his performances, I found out what I had felt I’m lacking in. Instead of appearing, I’d like to make an effort to be a better singer. Just on the assumption that they ask me to appear.
(From GQ September 2011, “40 Questions for 40 People”)
+) Cine 21 asked 10 magazine directors about ‘the best article of our magazine’, and F.ound Magazine’s director answered, “Taeyang interview – we dug up another side of an idol in the way only we can show”.

2.About Big Bang "Paparazzi" Photos and Videos [TEAM]
Hi everyone! @Mercury518 (a Korean Taeyang fansite) sent us a message about posting "paparazzi" photos of the members outside YGE building and on our part, we will try to limit posting paparazzi-like shots (except probably airport photos) from now on:
We understand that going to YGE to get a glimpse of the members is usually part of a foreign YG fan's itinerary when going to Korea. We are also confident that not all international fans are disrespectful. (We are not pointing fingers at anyone, btw.) We're not telling you to stop doing what you want to do (who are we to do that?) but hopefully, those who are planning to visit YGE in the future will be more considerate, not only of the members but also of other fans because unfortunately, if one foreign fan is seen as disrespectful, people will think that all international fans are the same.
That's all and we're sorry because we know that the fan accounts, photos and videos we posted before probably helped encouraged people to go to YGE and take photos of the members.
Thank you!

"Hello. This is a message regarding not to take a pictures in front of the YG building. Too many people take pictures in front of the YG building. Members are very surprised because there are so many people.
Please respect the members’ privacy. Isn’t that part of manners? Do not act like paparazzi. BIGBANGUPDATES is visited worldwide so please do not come to the building to take a picture or video. Please do not do that.
International fans have increased. Cameras are too close to BIGBANG members’ faces. They leave alcohol bottles, cigarettes, and even shout foul language to the artists. So please do not do that and do not take pictures. Please respect the artists. Thank you :)"
