[News] Dae Sung’s “I Love You”, an expectation in Japan

Dae Sung (or D-LITE, as he’s known in Japan), member of the great group Big Bang, made his solo debut in Japan at the beginning of the year.

He managed to conquer everone’s heart thanks to his powerful voice with the album “D’scover” and now he’s going to reach an other huge success. The month of July will see his first solo Japanese single, “I Love You“, which is a remake of the legendary singer Ozaki Yutaka’ song.

The short version of the song was realead in the first half of the month and shows the collaboration with the renowed Japanese violinist Hakase Taro. This song is important and probably unforgettable for Dae Sung because he did his very first kissing scene and after filming he said that he was too nervous to remember anything.

On July 18th the singer has also attended the first airing ceremony for UULA drama “I LOVE YOU” in Japan, giving the audience an enjoyable performance and demonstration of his singing hability, receiving also high praises from Japanese female actors for his surprise live performance. This is not a fortunate coincidence, in fact, “I Love You” will also be used as the theme song for the drama. 

During the whole month different versions of the song were realeased, creating a great expectation for the single, which will be released on July 31st. A part of the title track “I Love You” and its instrumental version, it will contain three bonus tracks: the incredible “Wings”, “Try Smiling” and “A Big Hit~ Look at Me, Gwisun”.

[News] Big Bang’s G-Dragon And Daesung Different Dating Styles, Who Would You Date?

G-Dragon and Daesung of Big Bang showed off their dating skills on the March 26 episode of 'Incarnation' broadcast on SBS.

In the show, G-Dragon and Daesung demonstrated how they would ask a girl out using actress Kim Hee Sun as the object of their affection.

At the beginning of the skit, G-Dragon joked around with Kim Hee Sun, greeting her as "Grandma" because the actress is 36 and G-Dragon only 24. G-Dragon and Kim Hee Sun are known to be close; she even calls him 'Grandson' as a nickname.But both of them eventually stopped joking and settled down at the 'movie theater' stage design on set. Kim Hee Sun said, "I heard this movie was good." G-Dragon answered, "Yeah, the movie is good, but this is a little uncomfortable. G-Dragon was talking about the armrests, which were between him and Kim Hee Sun

Smoothly, G-Dragon pushed up the armrests surrounding his chair and put his head on Kim Hee Sun's lap. G-Dragon, before his suave armrest move, had set the soda cup nearly out of Kim Hee Sun's reach. So, when the actress wanted to take a drink, she had to almost lie on top of him, creating ample opportunity for 'skinship'.The MC of 'Incarnation', Shin Dong Yup, exclaimed, "He's a genius!" The guests and audience members couldn't help laughing at G-Dragon's expert dating antics.

Daesung had to follow G-Dragon's show of dating skills, and he said, "I'm going to go for a romance movie." But, Daesung's actions didn't feel romantic. From the start of his skit, Daesung made the date scenario a comedy by breathing hard. Kim Hee Sun laughed at one point and said, "His breathing is really loud." Daesung explained, "This is part of my acting." When Daesung and Kim Hee Sun were watching the movie, he threw down his popcorn all of a sudden. Kim Hee Sun was shocked and asked, "What's wrong?" Daesung said, "It's just stuffy in here. I can't breathe," he continued, as the audience laughed. But then, he grabbed Kim Hee Sun's arms and brought them to his chest, saying, "Feel it." The sudden physical contact made the ladies in the audience scream, but Daesung ignored the uproar and said, "Can you feel it? When this movie ends, can you not look at the screen, but only at me?"
Would you go for suave or comic? Which style do you like best?

The 'Incarnation' episode aired on March 26.
