After over a year and 5 months since the release of his first solo mini-album 'HOT', Taeyang returned with his song Where U At, two weeks ago.
As you may all know by now, Where U At is not actually the lead single of his upcoming full length album, but is instead a prelude to it. He put on one performance for Inkigayo and now that that's over, in November, he'll release his digital single Wedding Dress, and continue promotions until the end of the year for the song.
So with him promoting his single for two months, it begs the question: when is his full length album coming out? Well, no official date is confirmed but for now all that's been said is that his new album will be coming out sometime early next year in 2010. When asked what kind of a song Wedding Dress is, he replied by saying, "In comparison to Where U At, Wedding Dress is a song that everyone will like." Does that mean people didn't like Where U At? Does it mean it's to attract other people who don't like hip-hop by going in another direction like fellow YG singer, Park Bom's You And I? Or are we just over thinking this? I think so. Oh see, there I go, thinking again about whether or not I'm thinking too much.
Now I know many of you fangirls and boys are distraught but think of it like this: What better way to start off the new year than with Taeyang?

Lee Hyori and TOP’s Kiss chosen as MKMF’s Best Performance
On October 29, Mnet said, “The production teams chose Lee Hyori and Lee Minwoo’s performance in 2003 and Lee Hyori and TOP’s kiss scene in 2008 as the best performances of MKMF’s history.”
When Hyori went solo in 2003, the song “10 Minutes” earned her the Most Popular MV award. She created even more topics in her sexy performance with Lee Minwoo that same year.
After that, in last year’s MKMF, Hyori and Big Bang member, TOP, performed in a music drama and shocked everyone with a kiss, which garnered a lot of attention from viewers and fans alike.
However, the PD for last year’s MKMF, Choi Jae Hyun PD said, “The kiss scene received approval beforehand, but we didn’t expect Hyori to actually do it.”
MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards), which takes place November 21, will be replacing MKMF at the conclusion of its 10th year.
The most stylish star is member of Big Bang, G-Dragon, said model Jang Yoon Ju.
Famous model Jang Yoon Ju is one of the top Seoul models. She has won many awards for modelling since 1998. Done Bazaar, VOGUE, ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Madame Figaro, VOGUE Girl, ELLE Girl, etc.
On October 31st at 11:00am Jang Yoon Ju stood on the stage for the ‘Endless Youth Engine’ at the gymnasium of Korea University in Anam-dong, Jang Yoon Ju chose G-Dragon as the most stylish star, “He is only about his music and style, he brings out his story in his music and style and makes a very good point. Apart from the plagiarism accusations, he combines his fashion and expressions really well to the point that he is very stylish.”
G-Dragons song 'She’s Gone' and 'Korean Dream' harmful to the youth
According to the Youth Protection Council, they recently examined the two songs, “She’s Gone” and “Korean Dream” from G-Dragon’s recent solo album “Heartbreaker” and came to the decision that they are harmful to the youth.
In “She’s Gone” case, the hazardous meaning that is embedded in the lyrics are harmful to the youth. And for “Korean Dream” the use of the profane words were also found hazardous to the public. Therefore the decision of these songs being harmful for the public will start to take effect.
G-Dragon’s album “Heartbreaker” that was released in mid-August, sold approximately a peaking 20 million copies just by the end of September. However since the council came to the decision that this is harmful to the youth, albums will now only be sold to those that are 19 and older. If this decision is not followed, distributors, dealers, studios and so forth will be fined. In addition, prior to 10:00 p.m these songs can no longer be broadcasted.
If you were planning on visiting Korea to buy G-Dragon's first solo album in person, don't count on it. That is...if you're a minor. On the morning of November 3rd (KST), G-Dragon's solo album Heartbreaker was declared unsuitable for children or anyone under the legal age (which is 19 in Korea).
After analyzing the lyrics of G-Dragon's songs "She's Gone" and "Korean Dream" off his album, officials deemed the lyrics too inappropriate for children. According to officials, "She's Gone" has an underlying suggestive meaning of drug use, while "Korean Dream" promotes an inappropriate "dream" of Korea. The title track of the album, "Heartbreaker," was said to be an automatic no-no for the young adult community. It's funny that they don't mention the most obvious one--"Breathe." G-Dragon clearly says, "You and me hardcore, baby. Let's do it some more. I can't breathe..." which I think is more suggestive than the other three songs.
These songs will not be available on television before 10pm, and his album cannot be purchased by anyone under the age of 19. The album, after selling nearly 200,000 copies by the end of September, will soon have the "19 only" sticker on it. Distributors who fail to comply will be issued a severe punishment or a heavy fine. Koreans seem to really take censorship seriously, don't they?
YG “There will be no modifications made to G-Dragon’s songs”
Earlier G-Dragon, leader of Big Bang, had two of his songs, from his first solo album, declared as ‘harmful to the youth’ by the Youth Protection Council.
To this YG Officials stated, “We should respect the decision made by the Committee of Protection for the Youth,” but “we will not modify or correct any of the lyrics.” that was their position on the matter.
According to the Youth Protection Council, they recently examined the two songs, “She’s Gone” and “Korean Dream” from G-Dragon’s recent solo album “Heartbreaker” and came to the decision that they are harmful to the youth.
YG clearly stated, “Those songs are the song itself as it is, there will be no changes, so no modifications will be made to the lyrics of the songs.” he reiterated.
