Music critic Yim Jin Mo believes Big Bang shouldn't be called "idol stars"

Posted by rameninmybowl5 pts Friday, August 6, 2010

Say what? Most people would believe the group Big Bang would easily qualify as idol stars since the group is arguably the epitome of all successful idol groups these days. However, famous music critic Yim Jin Mo doesn't believe so, as he thinks the group is "too good" to be called idols at all! The man appeared on MBC FM4U's Date in Two O'Clock, and revealed, "G-Dragon brought undivided attention with his solo album he produced himself last year. Technically, if one member in a group is able to actually write his own song, we can't call the group 'idols.' Like Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake, they were able to break the idols barrier and began to write songs on their own. This is the biggest success point of Big Bang." He also gave his criticism, "I hope he puts more effort on songwriting and widens his creativity." What do you think? Is Big Bang really too talented to be called idols?
