[NEWS] Big Bang not invited to Japan’s “Kohaku Uta Gassen”

Even though many Japanese reports had reported news (rumors) that Korean groups Kara and Big Bang would be attending Japan’s prestigious new year music show “Kohaku”, the line-up of artists that will perform at NHK’s annual New Year’s Eve music show, “Kohaku Uta Gassen (Kohaku)”, has just been announced and Big Bang and KARA were not added.
 
Big Bang had previously mentioned in an interview they would be very happy to attend this event one day because it was a significant ceremony, however they were not able to do so this year

Not the end of the world really. There’s always a next time and I’m sure they would have loved to go but I guess they need to work harder in Japan if they want to be invited. For now just focus in Korea and your VIPs because that’s where you will receive tons of love! ^^
