Big Bang Kpop Korean Music
More than 10,000 Thai fans came out to see Big Bang at the Huamark Indoor Stadium in Thailand on June 7th, continuing their Global Warning Tour with concerts held in Korea, Japan, and Thailand. They will be wrapping up the tour on June 21st and 22nd in Seoul, Korea. Hopefully they will be wrapping up something else while they enjoy their time in Thailand.

YG Entertainment was ecstatic at the turn out and claimed that Big Bang is just as popular in Thailand as they were back home in Korea (Note that they didn't mention Japan at all).

Six months ago, Big Bang released their album in Thailand and four songs reached the top on MTV Thailand's International Chart. Today, Big Bang is wishing the Thai fans will be on top of them.

So it seems Big Bang is becoming Big in Thailand, will they eventually do the same in Japan? Probably not, but they can always pat their own backs as they didn't FAIL in their own country like those losers SS501. There were also reports that some 20 or so fans fainted during the performance, no word on if it was due to the horrible performance / music.

Me being Thai, I just got to get one thing across; Thai people LOVES the whole Halyu-Korean culture. That includes music, dramas,celebrities,films,food - basically anything Korean related.
Now im not saying that Bigbang are enjoying their success over there only because they’re Korean, but being Korean does help. Thai people will take up anything Korean related and I can’t really blame them since I am sometimes like that as well XD It’s only ‘cause the Kpop music scene are just so much more interesting than the Thai music scene where there are so many girlbands and boybands that cant actually sing or dance :l But it has always been like this, ten years ago it was the Japanese that was big in Thailand, then it was the Chinese and now Korean.

Gdragon can’t produce music
Seung ri has no influence on the dance moves
Big Bang never dare to style themselves on stage
Always lipsync on stage
2nd live concert was full of preplayed music (how common is that?)
.
SHINee are atleast geniunely dynamic and talented, So are SUJU they can actually be called a ‘boy’ band, so masculine and natural.
.
Big Bang, boring hip hop all the time, no versatility.
.
Style icons?! Millions of people in the kpop industry had streetwear such as ‘Schwipe, Phenomenon, Swagger and Sakun; and other independent niche market clothing.
.
One last thing, out of all the native koreans with little training of english, theirs must be the worst!

Just like to add the finishing touch.
.
Taeyang has really basic dance moves? Whats all the hype about? I could see any boy band member do those simple dances.
.
Aren’t his moves coincedently similar to Omarion’s? No wonder everyone calls him korean Omarion.
.
Lyrics are really petty too, is this what music is all about?
Noona is so pretty is so much better, lyrically.
.
Taeyang showing off his body? Anorexic, feminine physique more like.
.
Girly-faced soft-dancing lyrically-weak genre-stoic entertainer.
.
He could learn about music from SUJU and SHINee, they define music.

@ Big Flop : Bitch yo mama, you better shut your ass up right away. Why are you so damn stupid shit? I really don’t wanna curse in here, but you just totally ridiculous. Are you retarded or something? Go get yourself a life if you don’t have one.

Shame on you, I feel so sorry for Shinee & Suju to have a kind of fan like you. Have you brush your teeth this morning? How come everything you said above my comment was so disgusting, just like your face.

You need to face the reality ok , stop day-dreaming, cause you know your idol Shinee & Suju are nothing compare to Big Bang. They’re so feminine and stuff, they don’t even speak English if at all, you’re Suju’s fan, if you watch their variety show “Full-house”, you should know what I am talking about

Yeah right, Shinee’s song Replay is so much better than Big Bang’s songs, then how come it’s so underated and didn’t even become a hit song like Lies & Last Farewell? Lord, I really don’t wanna waste my breath to argue with such a dumb ass non-human-being like you. My 2 puppies are even smarter than you seriously.

If Tae Yang’s body is feminine then your eyes must be blind already… Ha Ha Ha… But it’s good for not having eyes especially in your case, cause you don’t really need nor use it anyway, so why bother having it in your face, to decorate and make your face looks more hideous or something?

Not only your eyes are blind but your ears are also deaf as well. Big Bang is always lip-sync, I’m pretty sure that you’re maybe in the elemetary level so you don’t even know what does lip-sync mean, that’s why you ended up understood the wrong meaning of it. What a pity! Point and laugh ... Ha Ha Ha ...

Allkpop really have tons of Big Bang’s anti-fans, and those anti-fans are just so freaking dumb. Writing all those trash comments about Big Bang but none of them is true, not even 1%. How pathetic! Don’t cha really have nothing better to do? Go to hell if answered “No” to my question.

Though Big Flop’s comment does irritate me, this is their opinion and I’ll understand/respect that. However, I will disagree. Big Bang is quite successful so they must be doing something right. Each member has a certain talent that makes the group more able to do different styles of music, not just hip hop. I like SHINee also. They’re an amazing group from what I’ve seen thus far. If they keep it up, they’ll be on Big Bang’s level (Big Bang can’t be THAT hard to surpass). Both groups are very talented in their own right, however I do think SHINee is more talented overall.

@lyn...SuJu is not really untalented...I have no say with SNSD...but aren’t you just judging base on what you are hearing from other people? Truthfully, I thought the same at first, too...but there are guys in SuJu who can sing but mediocre in dancing, and who can dance but mediocre in singing...Kyuhyun and Ryeo would beat BB down in terms of singing...Shindong, even though his fat, is their choreographer...Donghae, Eunhyuk, and Hankyung are pretty good in terms of dancing...but they’re not untalented...they’re better than the JE boys (I love them, all right...but they’re more of an “idol” than Korean “idols") and any other Korean “idols” They’re even better than BB for me, only because I don’t like BB’s type of music (can’t hate me for that, I hate hip hop/ rap ^^)
I’m not a really big SuJu fan...because they would receive only 10% of support, maybe less that that, that I’m giving to DBSK...but you can’t say they can’t sing for s*** because they can!
It’s just that people are underestimating them too much...I bet you haven’t even heard them once or see them perform...those guys are all around entertainers...and you want to or not, they’re technically next to DBSK...Kibum might not be as good in singing and dancing but he’s a good actor…
@>.< (i love that expression) SuJu was mentioned because one idiotic fan started throwing idiotic thoughts...and I’m just pointing my say to it...and so does Big flop…

You’re right, SHINee are more talented overall.
.
Big bang are basically a bunch of kids, with music made for them, with lyrics written for them, with dances choreographed for them, Bands like SHINee and SUJU work hard for their individuality. Big Bang are clones, so many other feminine boy bands out there which are identical.

25.  Big Flop (Unregistered User)
Jun 09, 2008 - 10:02 PM

Not to mention clothes being set out for them, No-one in Big Bang has any knowledge or opinion in modern fashion, or what they wear on stage, GDragon is certainly no fashionista, albeit his claims.

hahahahaha^^ funny funny..totally agree…

YG artists dont lip sync unlike other agencies i.e. SM!!!!!!!!!

shinee and suju aint shit..saying bb’s english is the worst..mofo..have u heard suju..they cant speak english for shit..

u talking shit bout bb’s style..foolio..look at SHINEE’s mv..they be copying bb there...so ino wut u be talkin about..

bb is more of that american mainstream r&b;hip hop rap..unlike your idols shinee and suju...they can only sing candy pop songs..bb aint the best group, but they outsing suju and shinee..suju and shinee aint even on the same level as bb..YG produces talent such as 1tym, jinusean, se7en, gummy, big bang and former YG artists like wheesung, lexy, big mama..should i go on...SM got who?..hmm let me see..boa and dbsk..yeah shut it down

I don’t think one group is copying another. It’s easy to compare a group and choose one over the other. If you like more hip hop, then chances are you’ll favor Big Bang and vice versa. Who knows, maybe people do like hip hop/R&B;but don’t like Big Bang. Yeah, it’s true, YG hardly ever lip syncs (which is impressive). But IMO as much as I love Big Bang, Jong Hyun from SHINee kicks all of their asses when it comes to singing live, and he’s young so imagine when he gets older. SHINee has potential. Big Bang is talented but if they want to maintain their success, they better stick to Korean music.

Jonghyun definately is a better singer than Seungri, Gdragon, Taeyang and Daesung.
.
On top of that, Jonghyun doesn’t sing with his nose, or end his words short.

feminine boy bands? are SHINee and SuJu (HeeChul!) not feminine boy bands? don’t get me wrong. i love SHINee and SuJu but im pretty sure they get all those things Big Flop listed done for them too. tell me if im wrong. =)
oh well. gotta accept other people’s opinions.
and about the fashion thing. bands don’t get famous because of what they wear. what they wear just compliments the music. of course people were wearing Bape and other hip hop brands before Big Bang. but when Big Bang’s music became popular so did everything that had to do with Big Bang.
LOL @ HPDANM i have a friend who refuses to listen to Big Bang because they rap =).

n it creeps me out a bit…

just like @Bluecat had said,Thai people LOVES the whole Halyu-Korean culture..so it’ll be easier to be successful in THailand unlike Japan..
but even DBSK took a few years to become reali successful in Japan..
BB has only been in Japan for a few months n they have been flying back n forth to Korea...so,give them a chance…
a lot of ppl dislike them bcos they release their Japanese album in engrish but isn’t music a universal thingy???
i luv to listen to korean songs although i dun understand wat it means..
so,IMO it makes no difference to me..
i rather prefer them singing in english than in japanese cos they sound a bit funny singing in japanese..lol
anyway,their engrish still need a hell lots of improvement…
they are trying,so give them a chance…
btw,stop comparing them with Shinee..
both are talented in their own ways..
just because u like one group better doesn’t mean de other group is worse in everything…
different ppl have different opinions n tastes..
i wun try to change ppl’s mind but i just hope sum ppl will stop comparing both groups cos it’s reali annoying…

LOL, some people really like to try to piss people off in Big Bang threads. I’m looking at you, unregistered users (well, most of you)! People shouldn’t get riled up about such obvious trolling stunts.

Big Bang’s next stop should be Florida. I mean, even American artists never come here, so they should start a new kind of trend that will hopefully become an international phenomena! You want hot? Come here! WOOT!

but Shinee & Suju do different genres of music than BB.
you cant rly compare them.

.-.

SuJu is a band that has members with all sorts of talents.
Shinee has the BEST live singing vocals i’ve EVERR heard.
Big Bang is my FAVORITE hiphop/rap band (:

i love all three of them <3

So some of the attendees probably weren’t really Big Bang fans.

why is g-dragon facing the other way? d0=
oOh well. doesn’t really matter.

& it sounds like Jonghyun does sing with his nasal cavity open, though. he has a nice voice, but some of his parts in (Replay) annoyed me a bit. Though, he is my favorite member. Mostly ‘cause he’s my age. haha. I really like Onew… and one of the younger ones, though. Not sure if it was Minho or Key. I only bothered to name Onew and Jonghyun. And I only remember Taemin ‘cause his hair is ick, just like Seo In Young’s.

@Big Flop. HAHAHAAHHAHAHAH. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT YOU CONTRADICT ALOT??

“Big bang are basically a bunch of kids, with music made for them, with lyrics written for them, with dances choreographed for them, Bands like SHINee and SUJU work hard for their individuality. Big Bang are clones, so many other feminine boy bands out there which are identical.”

ISN’T SHINEE THE FKING 14 YEAR OLD? big bang don’t lip sync, the only time they’ve ever limp synced was when the performed seo taiji and this other song. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

g-dragon is interested in fashion. they do have a fashion sense. Seung ri actually does work with choreography and about Taeyang.... the choreogrpaher was the guy who choreographed omarion’s NO SHIT THEY’RE ALIKE.. but at least he attempted something not known in the korean industry. it’s called pioneering (korean industry wise.)

i don’t get why you must diss big bang and how does this relate to shinee. it’s fine for me if you don’t like big bang but it’s offenseive to people who do. can’t you just NOT COME HERE AND SPREAD YOUR SHITTT? seriously. you’re like an SNSD fan, why don’t you go stab someone for liking big bang. GODDD! get a life.

BigBang makes their own music! G-Dragon write A LOT of their songs! ‘Lies” for example…
and they NEVER lipsync!

Shinee and SuJu are both unique in their own way… and we have to give them credit cus they work hard too!
but GAH.. dont bash BigBang! they truely are good artists!

jonghyun’s outfit during the Dream Concert was copied for BigBang..
Bandanna scarf, big gold chain, skinny jeans, high top shoes etc..

the music industry is a huge pot of stew! they share and borrow and learn from each other!
