TOP heads to Japan to film IRIS Big Bang busy with solo activities

T.O.P. of Big Bang arrived in Japan today to film for the highly anticipated drama, IRIS. This coming the day after the IRIS Teaser Poster was released. He arrived in Akita, Japan along with the CEO of YG Entertainment and former Seo Taiji member Yang Hyun Suk. The drama supposedly has a budget of around $22,000,000 US and is estimated to bring in almost $3,000,000 to the local economy in Akita prefecture, where some scenes for the drama will be filmed.

With TOP filming for "IRIS," Big Bang will be busy with the individual activities. Seung Ri has been promoting the movie "Why Did You Come to My House", and will begin shooting for "TeleCinema - My 19th Year" and "71." G-Dragon is planning for a solo album to be released in April. Taeyang is planning for his 2nd solo album that will be released after G-Dragon's, they don't want competition against each other. While Daesung is concentrating on his "Family Outing" activities. They originally planned to go to America to to take a break and a much needed vacation, but with so many opportunities at hand they have put all that aside. This is all great for them, but I can't wait until they come back together as Big Bang.

They should just debut in America already!!! Or at least TaeYang (or TySun if he were to debut here *please don’t kill me*), or TOP…maybe GD…YG I hope you’re looking at this, if Se7en can’t do it, BB’s where it’s at!!!

@ 53 - Umm.. o_O
Don’t get ahead of yourself now.
Be a little more realistic.
Big Bang still needs A LOT more work if they ever want to attempt the U.S.
And I say this because I love them!

Good for them
They each get to explore something new
But it would be great if they got back together quickly ^^

I don’t think “competition” would exactly be the right word… G-Dragon’s fine and dandy (on second thought, maybe not) in Big Bang, but no one wants to hear his wannabe-gangsta rap for more than 20 seconds at a time.

Good job YelloPhase, correct article!
22 MIL?! T.T
I’m just waiting for GD’s album :/ A full album [or mini-album], of JUST GD ã… .ã…  Can’t wait.

 
mia's avatar

@ 64 - Just because it’s rap, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily “gangsta”.
Seriously people, seriously… -_-

dannnng they act like they want to go solo

 
mia's avatar

@ 69 - That’s because they do, lol.
They like to explore their own solo projects, and also like to do group stuff. That’s why they’re different (YG lets them). xD

Big bang is the ONLY group I know of that has the ability for ALL of its members to go solo and actually be good and successful at it.
