Big Bang is VIP

With the discovery of my other half across the lecture hall, came a realisation that new obsessions were about to be discovered and squee’d about. In true epiphanic film fashion, we ran towards each other, arms open wide and hugged and exclaimed with exclamation- BIG BANG!!!- well, not really, but that how things should have gone down!! Wait a minute...I lie....that did happen!! Eventually!! Only after I had been enlightened by the wise one, May, during an epic MSN conversation, did this occur.

May opened my eyes to a whole new world of Korean music. She said ‘Have you heard of Big Bang?’ and I said something to the effect of ‘No...’ and then May showed me my first ever Big Bang video- ‘Sunset Glow’. I strangely wasn’t that into it, but after seeing the people in the band, my mind was changed and I thought to myself... “People this good looking, definitely deserve chances.” That was what they got, and how right it was to give them that second chance. I was astounded and in love! I saw that this was the start of something new. No, we aren’t talking about High School Musical, you don’t have to leave!!! I won’t do it again!!!

Oh! I just realised that you might not know what I’m talking about! We did tell you that we would be random. Let me clarify for you quickly!

Big Bang is a group comprising of 5 extremely talented members, each with different skills, eclectic tastes and general good lookingness. They are Korea’s premier hip hop group, although their talents expand far beyond the reaches of just hip hop. Mixing vocals with rap, they produce tantalising music that you won’t want to stop listening to. Let’s meet them!

G-Dragon aka Kwon Ji-yong (권지용) - The group leader, and most flamboyantly fashioned member. He has crazy mad skills when it comes to composing music and organising the group. Some consider him to be the most fashionable, this isn’t true, he’s just the most experimental. We’ll come onto that later…

Taeyang (Sol) aka Dong Young-bae (동영배) – He’s the one with the most ‘gangsterish’ look, but we all know he’s a big softie at heart! Always being photographed with flowers and cute little doggy’s, he brings a new dynamic to the group, with flawlessly gorgeous vocals, and looks too!

T.O.P aka Choi Seung-hyun (최승현) – Our first love, T.O.P blows the world away with his delightfully sexy rapping vocals, a cute smile, and smouldering eyes. Words can’t describe our feelings towards this particular member, but the word ‘kidnap’ often comes into play. His raps are just too good.

Daesung (D-Lite ) aka Kang Dae-sung (강대성) – The joker of the group, always willing to play pranks on the other members. When he speaks he has a matured rough, but soft voice, this makes for an awesome singing voice, and the image of the joker is once again shed. The song finishes and you can see it come back. Always smiling, and we wouldn’t want it any other way!

Seungri (Victory) aka Lee Seung-hyun (이승현) – Aw, the baby of the group. Or not so baby-ish anymore. Seungri has grown into a sexy man, with a voice that also blows you away!Usually the focus of jokes and taunts by the other members, he still comes through strong. Choreography and dance skills are Seungri’s strong points. He also loves to eat broccoli, because it has healing properties!

And there we have it, no more confusion! Right?

Back to T.O.P (because he can’t be left without more mention), he is also a budding actor! Taking roles in recently made programmes, I Am Sam and Iris, T.O.P shows there is more to him than sexy rapping and a pretty face. Another thing we know, is that he likes to eat :D and we like that! He’s always looks so happy with doughnuts, apples, and pizza! We love the way he raps, and the way he sings, and the way he dances, and the way he dresses. Proving he is the perfect husband, in addition to all the others. We can always make time for him!

Look out for PART 2!! COMING SOON FROM MAYBELLE!
