Tae Yang was introduced by his fellow Big Bangers, Dae Sung and Seung Ri, who were hosting that night's show. Being named, "the highlight of tonight's show," Tae Yang performed his second single 'Pray', followed by his title track 'Look At Me'. Despite his simple wife beater getup (a white tanktop, and a black sleeveless vest for the 2nd performance), he was able to show his fans a powerful, charismatic performance.
Tae Yang's performance probably had a bit of an effect on the female population, but will he be able to beat the Wonder Girls and their pedo-male fans? He may have a chance, as long as he shows some more skin and catches the attention of his own kind, Korea's gay male population that is.

what???
my young bae?? UGLY???
dang! then what do you call yourself then??
hmmnn…
Jun 01, 2008 - 10:34 AM
If Big Bang can gain the fan girls’ hearts despite their stupidity, then I’m sure one of their members can, too.
I’m losing faith in humanity as time goes by. -_-
Jun 01, 2008 - 10:36 AM
wtf are they saying ....they are the ugly not tea yang..
Jun 01, 2008 - 10:44 AM
whoah… that jacket is so totally NEW to me.. that is something… *ugly* *cough*
yay for tae young!
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:00 AM
he has charisma on stage. But he can’t sing. His range is very limited. I think his singing rang = his talking range. He can’t hold the note at the end of the sentences. I wish he would focus more on singing than dancing. The dance routine is hot. But his voice is forgetable aka non-existing.
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:06 AM
I’m not liking the vocals either…
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:16 AM
hey if wonderhoes can call their song a hit because their fans love it, pretty sure taeyang can survive going solo.
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:20 AM
Where the fuck does it say anything about being ugly..?? ._O
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:23 AM
I sill think of Rain and Minwoo while I’m watching his perf. Skimmy clothes if not shirtless + not so good voice but sure can sing + sexy dance. It’d be nice if there’s only one of them.
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:25 AM
For the look only, Rain > Tae Yang > Minwoo. Is Tae Yang taller than Minwoo?
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:26 AM
your banner ._.;
i think his vocal isnt soo good here because his dancce is tooo VERY COMPLICATED.
and his microphone got problems. but hey he’s not ugly at all. HIS CHARISMA ON STAGE wwooooo.
i am pretty sure he can SURPASS wondergirls (MAYBE...) i think both wonder girls and tae yang are veryy good on the sbs inkigayo ..
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:26 AM
it’s sad...I’m not talking about his performance, I’m talking about his solo debut…
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:37 AM
you know the headline kinda threw me off…
i was expecting to read an article that said he was ugly and all…
but it was pretty okay…
i didn’t like the part about tae-yang attracting gay guys but it was okay…
this article still complimented him…
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:45 AM
the only prob i have with him is too me i consider him to be too much of the asian omarion, everything just speaks omarion or however you spell his name. I like Look at me song, its nice to dance too. He does need to improve on live perf.
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:46 AM
so you only like articles that compliment shitty talent like tae yang… real nice....
Jun 01, 2008 - 11:56 AM
that jacket, he could do without
Jun 01, 2008 - 12:00 PM
I don’t even want to watch his performance.
Really fans? Youngbae?
He’d have to be my least favorite member.
Gross.
Jun 01, 2008 - 12:20 PM
Man maybe if he didn’t try to act so cool with his dance moves he can focus more on his voice? Then again it’s not the first time the he huffed and puffed through a preformance. maybe rather than trying to so “hot” for the girls and the gays he should practice holding a note.
On the side note: Johnny i like ur sense of humor, but i find it pathetic that you talk about how you hate ppl with no talent then go ahead and praise shitty groups like Shinee and Wondergirls who are no better or even worse than big bang. Ur actions are a hugee contradiction to ur “beliefs”.
Jun 01, 2008 - 01:01 PM
his voice is not that bad . better than most people in live (sohee...)
Jun 01, 2008 - 01:29 PM
@ xstrir > WORD!!! for the side note! lolz!
Jun 01, 2008 - 01:29 PM
at least he’s better than jun jin and kim dong wan
Jun 01, 2008 - 01:30 PM
okay i think this is one of the nicer articles written about Big Bang.
usually allkpop just mindlessly bashes Big Bang.
there are some valid points like his voice was a little off, but the choreography was pretty intricate. i think he did much better as compared to WONDER GIRLS/SNDS when they first debuted, except for sohee she still needs to work on everything! dang those girls couldn’t sing and they had the rest of the group to back them up.
agree with xstrikr, i love reading allkpop because of the sarcasm, but it seems as tho it’s getting a little disillusioned praising Wondergirls and SHINee like that.
Jun 01, 2008 - 01:35 PM
If tae yang is considered ugly, then boy we sure have alot of hideous looking people in this world.
Jun 01, 2008 - 01:38 PM
johnny fagbag whatever your name is, your stank ass is always talking about somebody being gay when i think your the fucking fag. Taeyang gay? bitch please you wish he was gay so you could holla at him. Taeyang ugly? bitch yo momma! Taeyang is gorgeous, sick body, amazing voice and a crazy dancer! stop being a hating thats not a good look on you johnny-mae. you fucking like the wondergirls! how gay can a dude get? you like shinee ARGGH johnny your the fag! hahahaha your articles kill me when it comes to taeyang, you know hes talented but you just cant seem to find the balls to give the man his credit.
Jun 01, 2008 - 01:42 PM
Taeyang’s solo debut wasnt a failure! what in the hell are yall talking about? the man had 45,000 pre-orders of his cd. 12,000 sales in one day! Epik High sold 60,000 records for the month of April! Taeyang is about to surpass that record with only being out for a couple of weeks! Besides this is his first solo performance, it will get better, you can tell that he was nervous! But he still killed his performance, unlike the wondergirls who sucked! Taeyang should just come to America and try to debut cus you fuckers over in Korea dont appericate him! hes on another level, just like Tasha and Drunken tiger they should debut in America. Asia aint ready for them!
Jun 01, 2008 - 01:44 PM
.. if you think tae yang is ugly, then you must be the most hideous looking person in the world.
are you blind in this world? tae yang has a HUGE amount of fans.. especially girls, so i have no idea what you’re talking about. you’re nothing compared to tae yang or big bang. they have so much talent and they work so hard in life, and all you do is write stupid articles on how they suck. you try being a singer and see how successful you become, then you can talk.
Jun 01, 2008 - 02:03 PM
Guys give the people in allkpop.com a break. They are using the Kim Gura technique of bad mouthing everyone to gain fame. Using that method is hit and miss sometimes its funny and other times its offensive. Personally I think that writing news while bashing the subject is about as hard as making fun of someones mother. Writing real news and gaining fame is more respectable and would probably last longer.
But to each his own. Hell, I’ll still visit this site.
Jun 01, 2008 - 02:12 PM
he’s not UGLY. there’s better gogi out there but he’s not hideous. anyway, his debut was underwhelming but korean omarion was huffing and puffing and trying his darndest so effort begets effort. its was alright. TY needs to stfu with the solo career though and go back to his band, he’s stronger as a part than as an individual.
Jun 01, 2008 - 02:14 PM
“bitch yo momma!” “stop being a hating”
hahahahaha holy shit people on here crack me up
man that girl in the beginning is still hot o.o
Jun 01, 2008 - 02:14 PM
the female backup dancers were pretty hot....and taller than him.
Jun 01, 2008 - 02:20 PM
LOL, this is my first time seeing beautiful female dancers. LOL but unfortunately most of them are probably plastic. Anyways, he was pretty impressive. Though his vocals were lacking, i think he needs to work on his endurance even more, but dancing at the same time, its most definitely that he’s wonder girl’s biggest competition. LOL EH as for Shinee, who knows
Jun 01, 2008 - 02:22 PM
He’s a OMARION wannabe.
That’s fake. I hate people who try to be like others.
SUCKS.
Jun 01, 2008 - 02:41 PM
I love how some of you guys keep bashing Johnny oppa when he didn’t even write the article..
Jun 01, 2008 - 03:14 PM
Ya Tae Yang needs to work on his vocals, his dancing is fine but wo0ot take some more clothes off!
Jun 01, 2008 - 03:15 PM
I love Taeyang’s new album....You can call him ugly but I know better (;
Jun 01, 2008 - 03:26 PM
Good. Now stick to korean tracks, stay far far away from english
Jun 01, 2008 - 03:50 PM
Now the objective review:
While tae Yang may not have the traditional Korean good looks, he definitely has unique good looks about him and sex appeal. However, if he expects any longevity in the KPOP music industry he will have to work on his singing as it was uninspired and over-produced. He may have potential as a singer but he my do better as an actor.
yes his dance moves are pretty good, but wouldn’t they be for his debut? Regardless, I’ve seen many singers that are much better dancers. Also, in regard to his look. It was too much like Rain’s look fro his 4th release, no? Tank top, baggy pants, rough look. Well, maybe not exactly but he REALLY needs to try and distinguish himself from M and Bi and others instead of coming off as an amalgamation of them. He should try harder to set himself apart...or rather, have his handlers work to set him apart. Isn’t everyone getting sick of the manufactured pop stars?
As to the last comment in the article. TY will of course appeal to many gay guys as he does happen to have that stereotypical look...especially the hair and the vest. Yes, I know, performers are eccentric, but the look does lend itself to the look I’ve seen popular in Korea in certain sub-cultures. Is he gay? I have no idea, nor did I say he was. But if he is...good luck. Sucks to be gay in Korea....
Jun 01, 2008 - 03:51 PM
um. i dont know what you mean considering the crowd was shouting his name and following along with him. and ugly? yeah, im sure you’re SO hot. i mean if he attracts guys, he cant help being so good looking. lets see you get up there and sing live while dancing. please, his vocals are better than a lot of people. stop bashing him because you have no life.
Jun 01, 2008 - 03:53 PM
I like TaeYang and I believe he did well…
I like his new song ‘Look At Me’,,, his performance reminds me of the time when Rain and Se7en were active performing in Korea… Solo performances were hit,,, now everyone needs back-up/groupmates to cover for them…
I like him taking of his clothes…
Jun 01, 2008 - 04:12 PM
what the hell
hes fuckin gorgeous
Jun 01, 2008 - 04:20 PM
His dancing’s fine. His debut songs were choreographed by an american choreographer who teaches at the Millenium Dance Complex (i.e. Wade Robson, Britney Spears, etc.)...The same guy who helped choreograph With U. We know TaeYang (and BB for that matter) can dance and it just varies with whatever song they want to do. And not only that, check out any of the Big Bang dance practices from their MTV show. They’re really good and I’m sure some of you antis couldn’t even do half of what they can.
Someone has to be really jealous or blind to think that TY’s ugly. Tastes differ but I know this guy looks way better than most asian guys I’ve seen in real life. I don’t really like his hair or the clothes he’s wearing in those pics but his personality in addition to his sexiness is just amazing.
Jun 01, 2008 - 04:29 PM
It’s obvious that you guys don’t even care about the actual article, seeing how the majority of you just noticed the caption in the banner and are only commenting on that.
And for those who think I’m an asshat after reading this article, I LIKE his mini-album (not a psychotic fan like some of you, but yeah...). If you’re still not used to/familiar with AKP’s style of writing, GTFO.
Jun 01, 2008 - 04:33 PM
^...Okay, I think we should be more worried about you liking it. OMG unni likes something related to Big Bang...and Kpop?!
-sLaVe
Jun 01, 2008 - 04:44 PM
at the end of the day, he still sucks.
Jun 01, 2008 - 04:53 PM
yeah...he’s gotta learn to stop singing from his nose.
Jun 01, 2008 - 05:00 PM
You Big Bang lovers stop your pmsing now.
Im actually glad that this blog has sarcastic things to say.
If your panties get red just stop visiting this website.
Jun 01, 2008 - 05:03 PM
lol at “look at me i’m ugly”. he’s not that ugly. i’ve seen worst looking people.
Jun 01, 2008 - 05:40 PM
his hair is ugly.... but he’s not ^^
Jun 01, 2008 - 05:42 PM
--” have you ever heard of being nervous, this was his first LIVE performance. i think he did a pretty good job but i agree, his voice was sort of ‘short’ . the most recent one (inkingayo) does him justice.
anyway, have you seen his dance, he actually dances around the entire stage and not on the spot. you can’t expect him to have that much control of his breath --”
and i TOTALLY DISAGREE! his is hotneesss to the extreme.
taeyang <3
Jun 01, 2008 - 05:54 PM
TY is ugly, but amazing body. mwahaha.
the last part of this article is hilarious, but i must digress. i’m in love with TY’s album.
