*Will G-Dragon make it to 250,000 copies of album sales for his first solo album?
Already 180,000 copies of G-Dragon's first solo album 'Heartbreaker' has been sold(up to 9/7), and they've ordered another 50,000 copies.
YG Entertainment first ordered only 100,000 copies for G-Dragon's solo album, but then they ordered another 100,000 on 8/26 because all the other copies were sold.
Even though it's been over three weeks since the album's been released, he's selling atleast 10,000 copies of his albums a day. If this keeps going on, we're predicting that he'll be able to sell atleast 250,000 copies.
(Reason why there is a difference between what YG says and Hanteo charts say is because Hanteo charts do not include ALL the offline and online stores in Korea; the ones sold overseas are not included in Hanteo charts either.) http://news.donga.com/fbin/output?n=200909080237
*Lotte Cinema is doing a special event 'Birth Night Party' to celebrate their 10th anniversary. They are having a talk show with Kim Haneul(actress) and Wang Sukhyun(actor) and a mini concert inviting 2NE1, G-Dragon, After School etc. This event will start on October 16 at 11:30PM until the next day at 4:30AM. http://www.segye.com/Articles/SPN/ENTERTAI...=20090907002426
*YG Music Service opened. YG is selling songs at their own website(http://music.ygeshop.com). They are selling very very high quality music (each song atleast over 30mb) in various different versions:
-AR(All recorded, the song on the cd)
-MR(Music Recorded, can hear everything but the vocals, so this is what they use on live stages)
-ACCA(Acapella, no instrumental, you can hear only the voices)
-INST(Instrumental, no vocals or choruses)
-PACKAGE(all the four in one, 13% cheaper)
Prices are high- they are around 1000-1200 won which is about a little over a dollar per version of the song. If you buy it in a package it's about 4000won(approx $4). They are planning on updating all the previous albums that YG released(which probably means like 1TYM, Jinusean etcetc). You can hear a 30sec perview of the songs. They only have Heartbreaker, Friend(TOP & Taeyang's OST album), 2NE1's first mini album and Gara Gara Go in service. http://www.bbvipz.com/bbs/view.php?id=vip&...sc&no=17760
*G-Dragon is planning on continuing his activities for his first solo album atleast until November; Taeyang is planning to release his second solo album in late October, or early November. There is a possibility that they will perform together on the year-end performances. http://star.mt.co.kr/view/stview.php?no=20...1&outlink=1
*Today(09/09) he will be on another radio show at 12.20pm(KST)
a bit of the translation
He is saying something like that: " the last time before summer is ending..enjoy the escape from normal life...that should be good"
