Big Bang did it again. Not only did they win the Best Male Group of the year at MKMF, but their second round of “Big Bang is great” concert tickets were sold out in 10 minutes. 60,000 V.I.Pers (Big Bang fan club members) stood by their computers in hopes of purchasing 5,000 available tickets. Well done boys!

    Wow! Any idea if Big Bang will be coming to the other Asian countries?

  2. 2 Eve November 21, 2007 at 3:15 am

    oh damn ~ I wanted to buy tickets…and another oh damn ~ I’m not going to be in Korea during the concert!

    P.S. - this really isn’t sarcasm… >_<

  4. 4 wink_wink_ November 21, 2007 at 3:27 am

  5. 5 marmar November 21, 2007 at 3:32 am

    Congrats to Big Bang this is really there year.

  6. 6 valski November 21, 2007 at 3:46 am

    they really deserve all this success though.

    they are really talented.

    BB is also the reason why YG family One Concert is sold out even though it will be focus on Se7en and 1tym!

    They need to go away for a while.

  8. 8 reina November 21, 2007 at 5:02 am

    Good for them
    big bang Fighting!!!!!!!!!

  9. 9 ed November 21, 2007 at 5:10 am

    good for them! we hear CD sales are dropping every year (downloads, what not). looks like concert revenue will be the biggie from now on? nothing replaces that “live” experience :P

  10. 10 RoflMyWaffle November 21, 2007 at 5:14 am

    1TYM? Am I hearing htis right? No, just no. 1TYM is overshaowed by other rap groups. Se7en and BB is YG’s main focus.

    Wow, I can’t believe that like 90% of labels have only 1~2 good artists… expect SM back in the day of course.

  11. 11 p November 21, 2007 at 5:30 am

    yea big bang rocks.. i’m glad they won the best male group instead of suju. i love them… wish i was in korea so i cud go to their concert… sarang hae big bang. kah ji mal was the best song ever..aaaaaa big bang cant stop looking at them and TOP rocked the glasses at the mkmf.

  12. 12 May November 21, 2007 at 5:57 am

    only 5000? why not 40,000? that’s pitiful.

  13. 13 serene November 21, 2007 at 6:39 am

    Love them. <3 So proud of them too!

  14. 14 DT November 21, 2007 at 6:47 am

    Big Bang is Great (what a perfect concert title)

  15. 15 Brina November 21, 2007 at 6:49 am

    They may be great but what is with their clothes? Trying too hard is not cool.

  16. 16 I am your Death Note November 21, 2007 at 7:18 am

    they are pretty good live. yeah..clothes arent genuinely outstanding but they can sing well.

  17. 17 tangy November 21, 2007 at 7:18 am

    aweeee hope they have an awesome concert
    much <3 to the boyz

  18. 18 Aigoo November 21, 2007 at 7:22 am

    Brina - they’re not “trying too hard” to be cool. They projected that hip hop image from the get go.

  19. 19 Jen November 21, 2007 at 7:42 am

    congrats I would totally go to see them.

  20. 20 lolz November 21, 2007 at 7:52 am

    nice news.. but i wonder how many of those tickets sold out in the first 10 minutes would be sold at other sites for a higher price?

  21. 21 RoflMyWaffle November 21, 2007 at 8:03 am

    Numbers + jersey = reminds me of H.O.T’s Candy era.

    Haha, I wish they would grow out of their ganster wannabe-ness and go actual ganster. Other than that, its okay… except its quiet weird seeing ganster-wannabes being boybands…

  22. 22 Lisa November 21, 2007 at 8:10 am

    still not break DBSK’s record. Their ticket one sold out in 2 secs

  23. 23 anna November 21, 2007 at 8:39 am

    good for them!

  24. 24 RoflMyWaffle November 21, 2007 at 8:56 am

    Lol, no duh. DBSK = older, better, skilled, bascially better in almost every way.

  25. 25 Chee November 21, 2007 at 9:56 am

    YOU GO BIG BANG!! BUT SORRY I CAN’T MAKE IT!! BUT I’M GOING TO MEET YOU GUYS ONE DAY THOUGH!! FOR REAL!!

  26. 26 Jin November 21, 2007 at 9:57 am

    Who gives a damn about DBSK. Someday they’re going to be ass raped by one of their members. They’re overrated and I’m surprised Popseoul haven’t taken a shot at them.

  27. 27 ILuvKyuhyun November 21, 2007 at 9:57 am

    i love them how i was i was in korea.. T_T well i just wanted to congrat them….

  28. 28 sarajo November 21, 2007 at 10:12 am

    shorties trying to act gangster.

    In terms of talent (song writing wise), Big Bang pwns DBSK. I don’t think DBSK has written a hit song like “Lies.” Moreover, Big Bang is young and to have that talent is amazing.

  29. 29 hip November 21, 2007 at 10:31 am

    go get em bigbang!

  30. 30 mimi November 21, 2007 at 10:38 am

    I agree with sarajo. Songwriting isn’t like some offhand hobby, it does actually take serious skill.
    These boys get props from me 8D

  31. 31 RoflMyWaffle November 21, 2007 at 10:48 am

    Don’t worry, remember H.O.T’s? They didn’t start writing their own songs until 3rd and completely @ 4th album.

    DBSK wrote Ballons =P

    Big bang and DBSK has 2 year apart. Which meants DBSK was introduced to public @ younger age.

  32. 32 chiaye November 21, 2007 at 10:54 am

    what does “V.I.Pers” stand for?

    also isn’t BB and DBSK are of two different genres? or two different styles? why comparing them?

    btw, 2 seconds sold out? that’s a HUGE exaggeration.. unless it really is true, then i apologize.

  33. 33 Thuy November 21, 2007 at 11:17 am

    I love Big Bang!!

  34. 34 Kristina November 21, 2007 at 11:20 am

    damnn i so wanna go…
    too bad i live in canada.
    hmm, i think DBSK is very talented as well as BB.
    and as sexy as hell ^-^

  35. 35 Jin November 21, 2007 at 11:25 am

    V.I.P. is the fan club name for Big Bang. I don’t know if they call themselves V.I.P.ers though. Probably a coined word. Some people just call themselves that they’re a part of V.I.P.

  36. 36 heyleadinglady November 21, 2007 at 11:34 am

    ah big bang, love love love love love!

  37. 37 ana November 21, 2007 at 12:09 pm

    Congratulations Big Bang.They are very talented and not overrated ,they totaly deserve this kind of success. Singers and Actors should be famous for their talents after looks so they won’t have surgeries gone bad like HAN AERI.

  38. 38 uhuh November 21, 2007 at 1:26 pm

    WOAH!!!!!! thats a great success for them! because they debuted not too long ago they r kinda new in kpop industry but wow….i admire them and LOVE THEM!
    they r HOT!

  39. 39 Cutie November 21, 2007 at 1:26 pm

    @RoflMyWaffle:

    Actually, I believe its a cover of a waaay older korean song (they may have edited it?)

    Anyways, my aunt has one of those old tapes with older korean songs (at least a decade or more!) and I was like, DBSK! and she told me it wasnt. Tho I forget who sang it- but I’ll ask- I know for sure it was a cover of an older korean song >.<

  40. 40 Cutie November 21, 2007 at 1:31 pm

    ^I meant Balloons by DBSK - that song was a cover of an older koean song…….

  41. 41 hoiakoito November 21, 2007 at 1:45 pm

    haha. balloons is a remake of an old song. that’s why so many ahjummas like dbsk for singing that song because they like the original & dbsk singing it brings back memories. anyways, if ur gonna defend dbsk by saying they write songs toos, at least be correct in your statements. like i know for sure, micky wrote “holding back the tears.”

    anyways, this is big bang! why you feel the need to mention dbsk out of nowhere & compare them with dbsk baffles me =/

    big bang deserves all their success especially g-dragon. g-dragon is mad talented. wrote his first rap in the 5th grade. like wow. what did he rap about? =/

  42. 42 Ann*e November 21, 2007 at 1:56 pm

    congrats!!
    i love big bang!!
    that’s great for them^^
    <3 daesung… XD

  43. 43 chiaye November 21, 2007 at 2:18 pm

    i know that VIP is the fanclub but what does it stand for? like how USA = united states of america..

    i’m wondering if VIP is the english equivalent of very important people/person

  44. 44 Jin November 21, 2007 at 2:51 pm

    ^ I think it’s the same equivalent.

    The original Balloons was by Five Fingers (다섯손가락).

  45. 45 penguin_x3 November 21, 2007 at 3:11 pm

    @ Jin…I so agree with you…who the hell cares about DBSK, I like them but their hella overrated and freakin lame now…they dont even care about the kpop world i bet…they’re so busy in Japan they, dont even want to go back…They came back for like what? a couple of months? then went back and if you’re going to bring DBSK in like that you should at least know the facts before you post something…To me they can NEVER compare to Big Bang…I mean seriously, G-Dragon wrote their song lie and most of the other songs in their albums…TOP writes his own raps, they sing LIVE, unlike most kpop singers…AND they are more unique than any other kpopper or whatever you call the others…They’ll make korean music history!! I loved them since their debut and i still do..always and forever V.I.P!!!

    TAEYANG OPPA!!! SARANGHAE!!!!

    ps…yes…VIP is very important people and it’s there fanbase thingy…they’re fans are their supporters and also very important to them so that’s what their fans are called to them…AND I LOVE their outfits, it’s better than any other groups clothes!!

  46. 46 HL November 21, 2007 at 3:36 pm

    !?!?!??!
    i don’t understand why big bang is always being compared to dbsk..when there are groups like 1tym..f.t island..and others.

    @penguin: you like them….but you think they’re lame…..ok…

  47. 47 igoRAWR November 21, 2007 at 4:26 pm

    Congrats to them.
    but i hate the name of the concert, after i found out its meaning:

    Gdragon;seungRi;taEyang;deAsung;Top

    its kinda lame ==

    gdragon looks constipated in the picture.
    love seungri…
    but hate his hair in the pic.

    he looks like a chicken >.<

  48. 48 anecia November 21, 2007 at 5:49 pm

    -RoflMyWaffle
    LOL!!You’ve got to be kidding.Lie is the “song of the year” as far as i know NON of DBSK’s own written songs got “Song of the year before”PLus I’ve never heard Big Bang lipsyn before.

    Big Bang’s going to thailand on the 1st of december.

    No Doubt,2007 is definately Big Bang year.

  49. 49 junsufan November 21, 2007 at 7:23 pm

    i don’t get it..if they have 60000 members..why only 5000 tickets??!! my goodness..don’t they want profit.. :O

    U guys can’t compare DBSK to big bang ROFL..DBSK made 6 sell outs concerts this year..all tickets were fought by all the fans(the interpark site crashed down multiple times)..and even the concert merchandise..the cassiopeia and japanese fanclub(bigeast) fought over it..they’re the real deal okay..

    I do admit they’re overrated sometimes though..but..erm..compared to other boybands..THEY’RE SO MUCH BETTER..they went to japan to expand their career..and they’re doing great there for a korean artist..

    they can’t help but be popular.. :p

  50. 50 Eve November 21, 2007 at 10:00 pm

    haha i just saw the picture ~ i Love how they’re all acting tough but daesung has the biggest smile…SWEET!

    The New “Big Bang” in Korea
    Sunday November 20, 2007 Korea

    Exactly how popular is the YG group Big Bang? Apparently the five member boy band is one of the hottest groups out in Korea.

    Tickets for their four-day concert, “Big Bang is Great,” went on sale not only once, but twice. The venue, Olympic Stadium, which holds over 15,000 seats, had to meet the demands of the faithful Big Bang fans by selling an additional 5,000 tickets.

    The concert, which is scheduled for December 28 through December 30, is noted as being one of the most anticipated concerts of the year. The tickets sold out within 10 minutes.

    —- It’s not 5,000, it’s 15,000 + 5,000 more due to the fans heavy request…..

    I so love Big Bang!

  52. 52 Star November 21, 2007 at 11:17 pm

    COOL! I WANT BIG BANG IN THE STATES!! THEY ARE DOING IT BIG!!! I’VE GOT BIG BANG ALL THE WAY!<3<3 ALWAYS..HEHEHE…

  53. 53 Areyouserious? November 22, 2007 at 3:03 am

    @RoflMyWaffle, obviously you’re not a YG fan or you wouldn’t have made that comment.

    What other rap groups? Please don’t say Big Bang b/c they’re not a rap group and never will be.

    Next year is 1tym anniversary and they will release their sixth album and preparing their comeback while Se7en is slated to release his English album.

  54. 54 penguin_x3 November 22, 2007 at 3:42 am

    for those dnt unstand what I said about DBSK (like HL) I like them cause I think there cute….other than that their lame…xiah and changmin are the only two I mainly like though…the others are kind of blah to me..but still good enough to look at

  55. 55 .... November 22, 2007 at 4:46 am

    lol, fangirls.

    who cares if big bang is better than dbsk or vice versa? it’s all a matter of personal opinion anyway. it’s not worth fighting over, it just makes you look immature.

  56. 56 citra November 22, 2007 at 4:48 pm

    yeah come on girls!!!!! what so fussy about? get a real life!

  57. 57 reynie November 22, 2007 at 11:12 pm
