Big Bang Cafe Latte CM song ‘Youthful You’ misunderstood as new song release
Popular idol group Big Bang has received misunderstanding about them releasing a new song.
On the day of the release of their CF song ‘젊은 그대 (Youthful You)’ for Cafe Latte, the song was one of the top searches on search portal sites as fans misunderstood the song as a new song release from the group. And with the great interests coming from fans, the official Cafe Latte website was down due to overwhelming traffic.
Even the misunderstanding about the song was cleared, the song continued to gain popularity amongst fans. The song has a record of 100,000 download hits in just 1 week into its release. The song is produced by Yang Hyun Seok himself, and composed and arranged by Teddy, it is a sampling song of Kim Soo Chul’s ‘Youthful You’.
The song is well received from fans in their teens all the way to ajummas. “This is the song we hear even for kindergarden kids talent shows”, “It is great to be young, and Big Bang’s sampling version of the song sounds fun”, “The melody to the song is addictive” etc
MaeIl Dairy said, “Big Bang gets to personally taste our product Cafe Latte and came up with a song with such a fun atmosphere. Their song ‘Youthful You’ has brought effects better than we expected.”
Meanwhile, more videos of Big Bang for Cafe Latte like their NG scenes have been revealed. Also, member SeungRi has a solo song ‘If In love, like Caffe Latte’ for the CF.
Two members of the boy band Big Bang have been cast in the TV movie "19".
This isn’t the first time the two Big Bang members have been on screen. T.O.P., the oldest in the band, debuted in the 2007 KBS-TV drama "I Am Sam" and is currently shooting KBS-TV’s "Iris". Seungri, the youngest in the group, was the main character in the musical "Sonagi" last year. He also appeared in "Why Did You Come To My House", a movie starring Kang Hye-jung released last month.
19, a movie with stories by Japanese writers filmed by Korean directors, talks about three 19-year-olds involved in a murder. The singers will be playing the young students along with Korean actress Heo Yi-jae.
But acting isn’t the only thing that T.O.P. and Seungri have been working on for this movie. According to the film’s director, Jang Yong-woo, the two young men have each written songs for the soundtrack as well. Both of them performed their songs on the stage Wednesday, T.O.P., a rap song, while Seungri, a sad ballad.
The movie will be airing on Korea’s SBS-TV and Japan’s Asahi-TV this September.
Members of boy band BIGBANG flexed their acting chops on set last Wednesday.
On the last day of filming for their forthcoming telefilm, "19," T.O.P and Seung-ri took turns channeling teen angst; smoke swirling, rap pounding through the speakers.
One out of a series of eight feature-length dramas produced by Samhwa Networks under the overarching title, "Telecinema," "19" charts the growing pains of a trio of 19-year olds. The plot reads like your typical teen flick - a group of kids on the cusp of adulthood get implicated in a murder case and run away.
The writer behind this work, however, defies expectations.
Taking a cue from the Korean Wave, "Telecinema" has enlisted the creative prowess of Japanese scriptwriters, Korean directors and Hallyu stars to spin out, flesh out and act out the eight tales.
High profile directors like Pyo Min-soo of the hit drama "Full House" and Hallyu stars like Kim Ha-neul, Ji Jin-hee and Dong Bang Shin Ki's Hero Jae-Joong are taking part in this large scale project.
"The writer of '19' scripted the original 'White Tower,'" "19" director Jang Yong-woo referred to scriptwriter Inoue Yumiko during a press conference on the set last Wednesday.
"For this project, I went for a young vibe, for dynamism and movement," Jang added.
Decked out in black, BIGBANG member-and-fashion maven T.O.P, who is also starring in the blockbuster drama "IRIS," put the spotlight on his and his co-stars' roles: "I don't think that we will be fashionable (in '19'). Your attention won't be drawn to our outfits. It will be drawn to our characters."
Fellow member Seung-ri ruled out a full-blown romance, "Unfortunately, there are no love scenes in our drama."
"Co-star Heo Yi-jae was unhappy about it," he quipped.
"He is joking," actress Heo countered, playfully hitting her male co-star.
For those looking forward to seeing sharp outfits on their K-pop icons, this may come as a bit of a disappointment. But fans of BIGBANG's music may be in for a pleasant surprise.
According to director Jang, both T.O.P and Seung-ri worked on songs that may be featured in the forthcoming telefilm.
"It is very beautiful," Jang said of Seung-ri's ballad.
Following the press conference, Jang and the cast continued to film "19," which is slated to air, along with seven other "Telecinema" feature-length dramas, on SBS in Korea and TV Asahi in Japan.
Four of the works are slated to hit movie theaters in Japan and Korea this summer.
