So recently Billboard wrote an article about G-Dragon‘s world tour, and in the article the event was compared favorably to Michael Jackson in some respects. High praise, and people are whining about that, but that’s not really the story to me. The vibrant, two-hour, Michael Jackson-level affair had begun. With eye-popping props, numerous outfit changes, multiple LED screens flashing video ... Read More »
“G-Dragon might possibly retire one day?” That was the title of an allkpop article recently, which was an especially insightful take on G-Dragon’s career. Alternative titles could have included: “G-Dragon breathes air?”, “G-Dragon drinks water?”, and “G-Dragon loves Japanese club gloryholes?” Well, duh. Read More »
So we just recently left-off with DMTN‘s Daniel in trouble with the police for selling and using weed, and I was anxiously waiting his company’s explanation. Well, we got it, and it’s … uh … interesting? The label confirmed that he had not smoked it himself, revealing, “At first, the prosecutors suspected him of smoking it himself and ran a ...

People are flipping out over the nose ring, I guess, but besides that: 1) Black eyeliner. 2) Purple eye shadow. 3) Magenta hair. 4) Green hair. 5) Pentagram drawn onto his head (what the FUCK?). 6) I think that’s lip gloss. And last but not least: 7) A beret? A fucking BERET? It was a good run. Read More »
I know it’s Vogue and I know Big Bang‘s Taeyang (and G-Dragon, even more so) likes to go crazy with the fashion, but what in the world possessed him to rock those Alicia Keys/Bo Derek dreads while wearing eye-liner and rocking a white dress? I’m all for being comfortable with your masculinity, but … uh … you look fucking ridiculous. ... Read More »
Big Bang‘s G-Dragon recently commented on how Korean music is limited and complained about music that only appeals to the masses, which is just fucking precious. At the press conference for the finale of Big Bang‘s world tour in Seoul, he said, “I’ve been thinking that Korean music has been for the most part, limited in scope to just one ... Read More »
Ga-In of the Brown Eyed Girls (with assistance from her fellow members) made a parody music video of G-Dragon‘s “One Of A Kind“ (originally for their concert), called “One Of Ga-In“, and it’s fucking awesome. The lulz start within the first ten seconds with the “wild and old” quip, and it only gets better from there. GIFS Via Into The ... Read More »
Hi, you shits. It’s your boy McRoth clocking in for my annual end-of-year list, which I think came together rather beautifully this time compared to the previous years I’ve done this. I hope it does as well a job of wrapping up a year in Korean music for you as it did for me, because not only do I feel ... Read More »
So SNSD‘s “Dancing Queen” is awesome … because it’s Duffy‘s “Mercy” except in Korean, and I didn’t have an issue with it because they look amazing in the music video. However, what I wanted to talk about was Sunny‘s … interesting hat towards the end. Like … how am I supposed to take that? It doesn’t come off as ironically ... Read More »
In my review of G-Dragon‘s “One Of A Kind” music video, I mentioned why I generally don’t like him, saying: Now if you’re surprised by my rating of the music video, you should be, as I’m not a real big G-Dragon fan. Not because he’s in a boy band or anything else, but just because he seems to be buying ... Read More »
G-Dragon‘s “One Of A Kind” music video is probably the most requested reviews I’ve ever had, mostly because it seems people don’t know what to think of it. From what I’ve observed, it seems as if most are expecting me to hate on it because of his attempt to go “hard” or because of his ridiculous hair or because of ... Read More »
For many, Psy‘s success with “Gangnam Style” came from nowhere. And yet ”Gangnam Style”, the undisputed release of this summer, represents the crowning moment of a slow, and at certain junctures, painfully arduous climb to the top. After spending over a decade in the business, Psy, after six albums, has finally mastered the rules of the game. That’s not a learning curve most ... Read More »
So Jennie Kim, an alleged member of YG Entertainment‘s new girl group and current star of G-Dragon‘s new music video, has been recently labeled by netizens as a bully and a bitch based on the testimony of an anonymous person who attended school with her in New Zealand. A person claiming to have attended the same school as Jennie Kim ... Read More »
So I saw this “THAT XX” music video being hyped, and not by people I would consider G-Dragon stans, so it got me curious. People were saying that his vocals on the track were tight … but it sounds quite bad to me, like how Ken Hirai would sound if he couldn’t sing for shit and wasn’t the ballerest homosexual ...
