[Video/News] TOP and Seungri was chosen as the one of "2% Imperfections"
Superstars also have 2% of imperfections?
#12: Seungri
BIGBANG's maknae has completed his solo activities well and has established an academy for vocal and dancing training. We can say that he's a successful singer and a good performer in the entertainment industry.
However, Seungri, who is full of confidence, is also in short of one thing -- the mystery of being a singer. He tends to expose his private life and that of his members so much. Because of this, he has become someone who people do not dare to share secrets with.
#1: T.O.P
T.O.P can be described as a 'homme fatale' at his age and ever since his debut, he has been receiving a lot of first class treatments. Because of this, the confidence he has might have placed him in unfavorable situations in front of his seniors.
His seniors have many reasons to dislike him -- especially when he had a chance to kiss Lee Hyori in front of the audience. Although it can be seen as only a polite gesture, wouldn't T.O.P be perfect if he tries to act more humbly and carefully to his seniors?

[News] According to YG Entertainment, Daesung will not promote this year
After Daesung has been claimed ‘not guity’ verdict for his involvement in the vehicle accident that killed motorcyclist Hyun. With all eyes on Daesung, many fans began vocalizing their wish to see Daesung reunite with his groupmates for promotions. However, YG Entertainment has firmly stated that Daesung will not be returning to the fold for the rest of the year.
On August 29th, YG Entertainment stated, “Regardless of his ‘not guilty’ verdict, Daesung does not have any activities planned for the rest of this year. Instead, Daesung will continue to focus on going to church.” Daesung has been attending church regularly to focus on his religious life due to the severe distress and heartache he felt from the situation.
The verdict ends a case that’s been dominating headlines since late May. After careful review, prosecutors decided that there wasn’t enough hard evidence to determine whether or not the motorcyclist had been alive or deceased before Daesung ran him over with his Audi vehicle.
Prior to Daesung’s accident, the motorcyclist had already sustained severe spinal injuries from a collision with a streetlamp, and was intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.186%. Therefore, the nine members of the citizens’ prosecution committee all voted to drop the prosecution against Daesung altogether.

It’s Official, Daesung is NOT GUILTY!
In celebratory news, Big Bang’s Daesung has received a verdict of ‘not guilty’ in his court case regarding his car accident on May 31st.
After reviewing the case, prosecutors decided that there wasn’t enough hard evidence to determine whether or not the motorcyclist Hyun had been alive or deceased before Daesung ran him over with his vehicle. Also, they did not rule out the possibility that the motorcyclist, who was under the influence upon the time of his death, could’ve died from the initial collision with a streetlight.
Based on the above information, they rendered a verdict of ‘not guilty’ for the beleaguered Daesung.

[News] Rookie boy group changes their name due to VIPs' opposition
The 5-member rookie group changed their group name to 'BOYZ' before their debut.
The members of the group are Enoch, Noah, Yudam, Junwon and Haru. Before they debut, they changed their name from 'VIP' to 'BOYZ'.
Their agency explained the group has changed the name to 'BOYZ' although it was originally named 'VIP'. It got the name because the members are known by it on the internet. However, since it is the same as the name of the Big Bang's fans, they have faced a lot of opposition from Big Bang's fan club. Therefore, they finally decided to change it to 'BOYZ'

[Video] Netizens on Seungri's old audition video, "Who are you?"
The episode of Mnet 'Superstar K3' which was aired on 26th started with the story of a judge, Kim Wan Sun. She told us about her judging experience in an audition programme, 'Battle Shinwa' in 2005.
She said, ' the nature of "Superstar K3' is as same as that of 'Battle Shinwa'. My friends, like G.NA, Brown Eyes Girls'Gain and Seungri of Big Bang all have participated in this programme before. '
Instead of sexy and attractive, G.NA had a different look in the past. On the other hand, Gain did not wear her trademark dark eyelines in the past either which enables us to feel her pure charm. Seungri was skinny and wearing a pair of glasses when he did the audition.
Kim Wan Sun recalled her stories with these 3 artists and said, 'I am thankful to them.' After seeing the old video clips of the artists, netizens commented, ' who are you?' , 'you look really different now.' 'you have changed a lot ever since the audition', etc.

[News] G-Dragon and Seungri for Singles Magazine "Barefoot Campaign"
G-Dragon: Youthfulness is like a motorcycle!
Adults say that motorcycles are dangerous and tell us not to ride on them, but don’t the children ride on them anyway? They even pursue for speed. Youthfulness seems to be like that too. You’re at the age where you don’t want to do the things you are allowed to do and want to do things you’re not. When you’re over the speed limit, you might miss out. You won’t know the correct direction and will blindly move forward and there will be lots of twists and turns along the way.
The present me is like that and being a singer seems like I can’t be too sensible. I’m still worried though. I used to do things with no hesitation but nowadays, I need to consider all my options.
This seems to be the process of becoming an adult, but it shouldn’t be like that.
Seungri: I don’t like to lose. In fact I have a strong desire to win and that’s why my name is called “Seungri” (Victory).
If people tell me that I can’t do something, I will want to do it. If they say I still can’t do it, I will want to do it even more. If there’s absolutely nothing else I can do, then my tears will fall. I think that is youth.
Rather than the people who follow rules, the ones that exceed all expectations are those filled with youthfulness and energy. I hope that I can enjoy every moment and stay happy forever under any circumstances.

[Magazine] Taeyang on GQ Magazine (September Issue)
GQ Editor Jang Woo Chul caught Taeyang on the way out and asked him :
Q: What would you do if you’re cast for [the show] “I Am A Singer”?
A: I’m already a singer. Actually I’m into Cho Yongpil’s songs these days. I’ve not heard domestic music that much, so I never thought I’d like them. But while listening to Cho Yongpil’s songs and watching his performances, I found out what I had felt I’m lacking in. Instead of appearing, I’d like to make an effort to be a better singer. Just on the assumption that they ask me to appear.
