G-Dragon and 2NE1 to attend Global Gathering Korea
Big Bang member G-Dragon and HOT girl group 2NE1 will attend the 2009 Global Gathering Korea festival.
The Global Gathering Committee stated:
"G-Dragon and 2NE1 both have very trendy music and fashion. We feel they are a perfect fit for the Global Gathering theme, therefore we asked them to make an appearance."
The Global Gathering festival first started in England, and it occurs every year, in which 70,000 people from 8 different countries attend. It is the world's largest dance music festival and it will take place in Korea on September 18-19th.
Will there be a joint special stage performance with G-Dragon and 2NE1? My gut feeling tells me, maybe!
Lee Min Jung gave up opportunity to appear in G-Dragon’s MV
Lee Min Jung, best known for her role as Gu Jun Pyo’s fiancée in popular drama "Boys Before Flowers", was originally the female lead in G-Dragon’s MV for his first solo album. However, she gave up the opportunity and instead, starred in newbie group December’s MV.
As G-Dragon’s "Hearbreaker" album is enjoying record-breaking sales and extreme popularity, netizens were naturally curious about the reason behind Lee Min Jung’s decision.
In reply, December’s agency CS Happy Entertainment said that ‘Before Lee Min Jung became popular, she starred in Zia’s MV ‘Violin’. Hence, she was grateful for the opportunity we had given her then and hence decides to star in December’s MV.’ It was then said that the schedules would clash and that she would be unable to take part in G-Dragon’s MV.
As an insider in the K-pop industry put it ‘Although I understand her point of gratitude, isn’t it a waste to give up on such a great opportunity?’
According to CS Happy Entertainment, ‘At first, Lee Ming Jung didn’t know that she was invited to take part in GD’s MV. It is rare these days that an artiste will give up such a great opportunity and we are really grateful.’
