Big Bang Dominates Music Charts of Korea & iTunes International

While it was expected that Big Bang’s new album would make it tao the top of many of Korea’s music charts, the hip hop group has established dominance on Mnet’s singles chart, placed on the top ten of iTunes’ worldwide album chart, and sold an estimated 100,000 albums on its day of release!

Big Bang has broken an important record by placing #6 on iTunes Top Ten albums chart. While other Korean artists had managed to chart on iTunes under their respective genres, Big Bang is the first to break into the iTunes’ top ten total album sales. Making the feat even more impressive, Big Bang has never officially promoted in America!

As Big Bang is expected to debut in the United States this summer, we can predict them to be very successful if their current iTunes sales are any indication! 

"The Big Bang Show"

What is "The Big Bang Show" about?

Big Bang is coming back to the music industry after 2 years and 3 months.They will be having a mind blowing comeback stage at the ‘Big Bang Show,’ which will be aired on SBS. The boys will be singing songs from their new mini album and also their hit songs. The first round of recording for the comeback special, the ‘Big Bang Show‘ ended successfully on the 18th. Because of the high quality of this special comeback, they are planning on having two recording sessions.

On the other hand, the second recording session, which they will be singing their new songs, will start on the 23rd and they are planning on airing the ‘Big Bang Show‘ on the night of the 27th. yey!

won't deal with BigBang's comeback?

How will KBS and MBC deal with Big Bang’s comeback?

Fans are wondering if Big Bang will appear on KBS’s ‘Music Bank’ and MBC’s ‘Show Music Core’ for their comeback stage, as YG Entertainment artists have been currently avoiding KBS and MBC shows. It’s been especially difficult to spot 2NE1 and Big Bang on either of those two music programs.
Yet SBS will host Big Bang’s first comeback stage on February 27th by airing a one-hour ‘Big Bang Comeback Show Special’. This is making KBS and MBC particularly nervous because Big Bang’s comeback is being lauded as this year’s hottest event, and so a high viewership rating is guaranteed for SBS.
Rumor has it that SBS will not only host a one-hour special show (its first since Seo Tae Ji’s comeback a few years back), but they also promised the best performance stage. It’s been said that SBS has promised a shocking investment for Big Bang’s comeback stage, which includes the best audio system to a fancy stage construction.
Missing out on Big Bang’s comeback could be especially disappointing to MBC and KBS because Big Bang plans to release numerous albums this year, and will even pick up their activities in Japan.
Although YG Entertainment has asserted that they will perform for MBC and KBS eventually, fans will just have to wait and see as to whether or not Big Bang will perform on the stages of “Music Bank” and “Show Music Core” when they return.

huaaang~ i hope Big Bang not in big trouble~~

Big Bang’s Ice Cream Ü

Big Bang’s Ice Cream "Hallyu" advancing into the food sector

Hallyu (Korean wave) is now advancing into the food sector in Japan. Korean stars who endorse food products seem to have also captured the taste of Japanese consumers.

The ice cream brand, which BIGBANG endorsed last year from November to December, has received great popularity. The products were initially only planned to be sold online as a “special edition” but after selling over 10,000 in just a month (to be exact, 22 days), the company decided to also offer them in their offline store. 

A staff from Marvelous Cream said, “This 5-piece ice cream cake set costs ¥ 2,300 (31,000 won). Even though it is a bit expensive, it was still a big hit to our customers.” Yum ..yum..yummy!!
