Daesung

1. What is your dream for BIGBANG and for yourself as a solo artist?
I’ll be so glad if many people feel happy with BIGBANG’s music. I want to be the entertainer who makes people happy not only with music, but also with various things.

2. What’s the difference between doing the stage with BIGBANG and as a solo artist?
When I feel exhausted, with members we all cheer each other on. But as a solo artist, it’s so lonely because I’m all alone.

3. Recently, what moved you the most while doing stages with BIGBANG?
It’s not the “most”, it’s “always”. Same as TOP’s answer, I guess, but if I have to pick, it’s performing at the concert. It’s hard but it’s so fun, more than anything. It moves me no matter how many times I do (the concert).

4. The most happy moment privately with just yourself?
I came across my friend who came back to Korea from the U.S. It has been a while since we’d met each other. It has been about 7 years maybe.

5. What roles do you members play in a team?
G-DRAGON is the father, SOL is the mom. Me, I’m the boy who lives near by. TOP is the baby and VI is a pet!

6. What do you think an ideal man needs to have?
A man who works his best to never regret what he did in the past and approved by everyone no matter what he did.

7. The place which you want to go to the most?
Hawaii! Maybe go skiing in Japan!

8. The thing you want to get?
Hmm~.. what is it? It’s not popping in my head right away. *laughs*

9. The most precious thing you have now?
My BIGBANG members. I thought like, “It’s so grateful to have met these kind of great members”, on the day when all BIGBANG members gathered to celebrate our 4th debut anniversary.

10. Your type of girl?
Girl who is like my soulmate, feels connected.

11. The difference between Japanese and Korean girls?
I don’t know that much about Japanese girls, just our fans, but they are feminine. Korean girls are energetic if that’s what I can call them?

12. Store you usually shop in Japan?
Isetan in Shinjuku and Yaoyama.

13. Brand you like?
Rick owens. I wear his clothing designs often.

1. What is your dream for BIGBANG and for yourself as a solo artist?
BIGBANG is just like a family, so we aim the same thing no matter what place we’re at. Our dream is to make another legend(?)-like stage, just like what we’ve done this far. We want to be the valuable ones so that everyone can call “the time of BIGBANG”.

2. What’s the difference between doing the stage with BIGBANG and as a solo artist?
For my solo experience, I get to experience acting in movies and dramas. It’s not like music at all. I want to keep my acting career going as long as there are people who still want to see me act. Yet I’m not at the place where I get to pick what I want to act because I’m still a newbie. But I want to surprise fans for my next character and hoped that it would be awesome.

3. Recently, what moved you the most while doing stages with BIGBANG?
Every day is a success and it moves me. The fact that I live this life every day is touching.

4. The most happy moment privately with just yourself?
Half a year ago, many things had happened, but the happiest thing for me was the hit movie which I was in, “Into the Fire”, and many people approved my acting in the movie.

5. What roles do you members play in a team?
The other members are saying that I’m the baby, the child, but I’m actually the oldest one so I play the father too. *laughs* I play both sides.

6. What do you think an ideal man needs to have?
Men with dignity. Always gentle, free spirited, and wise. I want to be a man who is not embarrassed from anything.

7. The place which you want to go to the most?
My hotel room *laughs*

8. The thing you want to get?
There are too many, can’t pick. *laughs*

Huge bearbrick figure which is the size of a kindergarten child. I feel good even when I’m just looking at it. That and the fans!

10. Your type of girl?
A girl who thinks or likes what I do. A girl who can lead.

11. The difference between Japanese and Korean girls?
I don’t know much about Japanese girls…. just the fans of BIGBANG, I think they are both calm.

12. Store you usually shop in Japan?
Here and there, I go to Yaoyama center.

13. Brand you like?
14. What do you consider the most when you style yourself?
(13 & 14) I like John Galliano the best. I like classical suits, so also Thom Browne and Givenchy.

15. Artist you want to work with?
I want to ask Murakami Takashi to design my solo album cover! I think my thoughts are similar to his work, so I’ll be glad if I can ask him for a design. I want to know what person he is and what thoughts he has. I so want to meet and talk to him.

16. What have you been thinking recently besides music?
I’m considering what kind of movie I can do next after the movie, “Into the Fire”.

Both are the same. My dream is to get great results no matter what the circumstances they make us what do. We just do what we want to do.

2. What’s the difference between doing the stage with BIGBANG and as a solo artist?
With all 5 members, we can play jokes with each other, that kind of things. But as a solo artist, there are some hardships because it’s lonely.

We had our 4th debut anniversary last August 19th and had a private moment with just us members. We talked about a lot of things.

[News] Kim Junsu - 2010 Shining Creative Performing Artist

Kim Junsu (Singer & Musical Actor) - 2010 Shining Creative Performing Artist - Full of content from the experience of the stage

Performing for the first time in the musical "Mozart!" in January of 2010, Kim Junsu's performances were sold out in a matter of minutes, demonstrating the power of "Xiah Junsu". This is the first surprise.

The power of "Xiah Junsu" allowed Junsu to receive the support and recognition from people who have strong opposition for idols entering into the musical world, which is another surprise.

Although it was the idol celebrity "Xiah Junsu" that caused the sudden sell-out of tickets, the 'New Musical Star' that melted the hearts of the audience was Kim Junsu. With this project, he earned the 'Newcomer Award' and 'Popularity Award' at the 4th Annual Musical Awards and the 16th Annual Korea Best Musical Awards.

In the beginning of October, Kim Junsu performed with composer Sylvester Levay, at his request, for the 4-day 'Kim Junsu Musical Concert - Levay And Friends". Although as a singer, he has already had the experience of performing on several concert stages, it was a new challenge for him from a musical actor point of view.

Even amidst the TVXQ embroilment, Kim Junsu "has so many things to feel blessed and thankful for". Because he has the feeling of content from performing on a stage, he predicts that there will be another "Kim Junsu" comeback as a musical actor yet to come.

[News] Kim Tae Hee Screenwriter - I Didn't Know Who Yoochun Was Before, But Now I'm His Fan



'SungKyunKwan Scandal' Screenwriter: "I had no idea who Park Yoochun was, but his acting turned out to be excellent! I'm now his fan."


Screenwriter for KBS2 drama 'SungKyunKwan Scandal' Kim Tae Hee (37) said, mentioning Park Yoochun who acts as Lee Seon Joon in the drama. Her cellphone ringtone right now is TVXQ's 'Mirotic'.

Currently a member of JYJ, Park Yoochun or 'Micky Yoochun', which is more famous than his original name, has smitten a lot of people in becoming his fans, just like Kim Tae Hee, through his acting in 'SungKyunKwan Scandal'.

Park Yoochun entered into the acting realm and received high praise beyond expectations, adding a large number of fans besides those from his singing. More importantly, with the influx of women aged 30-40 into the supportive fandom, he has surpassed the world of idols and secured his foundations as a real actor.

In the interview on the 30th, Kim Tae Hee said, "honestly, I originally wasn't really satisfied with the choice of actors, but I didn't say anything. But because I have a personality that shows on my face how I feel on the inside, it got to the point where Yoochun and I were rehearsing the lines, and he would ask me 'Teacher, why do you dislike me?' But I really like him now, and I feel so proud of him!"

She also said, "of course, he isn't completely perfect with the pronunciation and enunciation of words, he has an innate sense of emotions, perfectly interpreting Lee Seon Joon to be an elegant person. Also, he has a unique sense of humor, which really surprises me. His humor shines through sometimes, which turns Lee Seon Joon into a 'really cute and interesting fellow', instead of a 'rigid and annoying fellow'. Also, there are times when he has a side that stimulates my maternal feelings."

"What really makes me like him is his constant improvement in acting. I do hope he will continue acting, and I think he realizes this himself. He is a very wise person."


"Yoochun knows why he needs to act in a historical drama. If a singer comes out and acts in a modern drama, there won't be that much of a difference with his usual singer activities. Only when one acts in a historical drama will the feeling and image be different, separating Micky Yoochun from his acting identity. Later on I found out that he was clear of this, which was the reason why he chose this drama."

[News] Running Man Hilarious From SNSD Yuri's Roaring and Tears


SNSD's Yuri was thoroughly fooled by a hidden camera on "Running Man".

On October 31st, SBS's "Good Sunday Running Man" featured Yoo Jaesuk, Ji Sukjin, Song Joongki, Song Jihyo, Kim Jong kook, and Haha, with SNSD's Yuri as a guest. They took on various games in a shopping mall in Yongsan.

The first challenge of the night was "1vs8, Fool Yuri". During this game where 10 quiz questions must be solved in 100 seconds, the cast deliberately did not guess guest star Yuri's questions. The cast of Running Man were only able to earn running balls if they were able to fool Yuri and fail the quiz all 3 rounds.

In order to trick Yuri, the members memorized the answers to the question before hand, and correctly answered answers to hard questions. Some of the answers to these questions were "Coiled far-infrared radiating heater", "LED-functioning pest control lamp", "Ocho Atras", and "Kamarinskaya". However, they pretended like they couldn't guess the answers to Yuri's questions, like "a set of ceramic pots", "Rumba", making Yuri so frustrated and worried.

Whenever it was Yuri's turn, the time would run out for all 3 rounds. Yuri was so frustrated that she screamed "WAA" and even cried a little bit. The members of Running Man didn't know what to do when she cried so they yelled, "it's okay!", but they couldn't help laughing when they received their running balls. When Yuri finally found out that it was all a hidden camera, she made everybody laugh by saying, "It was so weird because you were guessing things I've never even heard of in my life. And I was so surprised because Haha and Gary were so smart."
