Do Dae Yoon of “Superstar K3” has decided to close his Twitter account regarding his recent Tweets about singer, IU and Big Bang member, Taeyang. He had stirred up a lot of controversy with his Tweets made over the past 24 hours. Dae Yoon also offered an apology to fans for his comments.
Earlier, Do Dae Yoon had made a Tweet in response to IU’s comment about her "not liking handsome men," “IU-ssi, I’m not handsome. What about me? How do I look to you?”
After that Tweet he had apparently gotten word that IU’s "ideal type" was that of Big Bang’s Taeyang (Dong Yong Bae). He began directing his Tweets to Taeyang asking for his help, “Sunbaenim! (Veteran) I’m a big fan! I would like to be a talented dancer like you, where should I start? Oh and of course Happy New Year and all the best to you sunbaenim!”
Not long after the first he wrote another post about how to get IU’s attention, “Once I am able to dance as well as Young Bae sunbaenim, IU-ssi will definitely change to wanting Do Dae Yoon, hehehe!”
He followed up by saying, “Hey, I can dance like Youngbae. IU, change your gaze toward Do Dae Yoon.”
It didn’t take long at all for his comments to soon catch the attention of Netizens. They responded to Do Dae Yoon’s Tweets, “Do Dae Yoon must really like IU,” “It was just a mistake,” “It’s pretty funny,” “You spoke out of turn,” “We probably shouldn’t tell Big Bang’s Taeyang,” and “If Taeyang isn’t that handsome…then what does that make me?”
Within a few hours of writing about idols IU and Taeyang, Do Dae Yoon made a post to his Twitter account saying, “A lot of things have been going on lately. I apologize to both IU and Taeyang’s fans, I’m sorry.” He added to his apology with a final Tweet, “This will be the last Tweet for a while since I’m closing my Twitter. Tweet, Tweet! Rest.”

K-Pop is expected to see more rosy days this year, as long-awaited boy groups are planning to make their comebacks come spring.
Two of the most anticipated boy groups, Big Bang and Shinhwa, will be coming back in March with new albums.
To Big Bang, this comeback means more than any of its others. Last year, member Daesung was involved in a car crash with staggering consequences, while G-Dragon was put on probation after being charged for smoking marijuana, rendering the group unable to stand in front of the public for some time.
Big Bang′s successful career in Korea and the world, which had been strong since even before the group made its debut in 2006, was hit hard by these incidents.
Still, while the group was on hiatus, it managed to become the first Korean group to win an award at the MTV Europe Awards, and the group even flew over to fly over to Belfast to claim the award on a televised broadcast. YG Entertainment had decided that because it was such an honorable occasion, it wouldn’t be polite to miss it.
But even despite these successes, Big Bang’s hiatus dealt a great blow, because the group had to stay underground in a period when the K-Pop boom was just starting to spread through the world supported by various social network services.
While other groups such as Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, Kara, 2PM and Wonder Girls continued to build their careers overseas, Big Bang had to stand aside and watch.
Fortunately, the time to rest has finally come to a close, and Big Bang reemerged as one in the 15th Anniversary YG Family Concert held near the close of 2011. In February, Big Bang will release a new album and actually start promoting, starting with its exclusive concert Big Show to be held from March 2-4 in Seoul.
The group plans to reassess and reaffirm its popularity in Korea through the concerts, which are estimated to bring in about 40,000 fans.
Also, as the longest-running idol group Shinhwa will be coming back at the same time as Big Bang, many music fans are looking forward to an interesting year.
Shinhwa will be releasing its 10th studio album in March, coming together once again for the first time in a long time. Although the members were signed with different agencies, they managed to hold their group together, and will finally be promoting as a group again starting on its 14th anniversary.
The members, excluding Lee Min Woo, who is still serving in the military, are currently actively preparing for their comeback by practicing their songs and dances. The group also plans to embark on an Asia tour starting with a concert in Seoul on March 24, its 14th anniversary.
Pop culture critic Kang Tae Gyu told enews, “In March, the trend-leading group Big Bang and the long-running idol group Shinhwa will be meeting each other for a fierce competition, but for music fans, it will be a time when they’ll be able to listen to a greater variety of songs.”

It’s been reported that YG Entertainment’s stylist, Ji Eun, gave a special lecture at the Seoul Art Technical College. During the guest lecture, Ji Eun stated, “For idol groups, it’s important to respect each member's preference and express their distinct characteristics.”
She added, “For example, Big Bang’s TOP doesn’t like revealing clothes, so we avoid them entirely.”
Regarding Daesung, she revealed, “We try to find the right outfits and styles that accentuate Daesung’s biceps.”
When styling YG’s artists for a concert, she takes into consideration the overall flow of the concert, when each song will be performed, when each artist make his/her appearance, etc. She emphasized that the stylists try to contrast the artists’ concepts from the beginning and the end of the show.
Ji Eun has been in charge of styling Jinusean, 1TYM, Gummy, Big Bang, and other YG artists since the beginning of YG Entertainment.

Thanks for reading and please help us spread the word :-)
