Big Bang teaser video receives overwhelming response causing YG homepage server to go down

After Big Bang’s teaser video “Stand Up” for their upcoming 3rd album was posted up on YG Entertainment homepage on 22nd July, the site server went down.

It had seemed that fans had taken great interests in the teaser video and due to fans accessing the site all at the same time, the server to YG homepage went down.

A representative of YG e-Business team said, “The bandwidth to the server was exceeded in an instant and the server went down. Soon after the problem was fixed, the server went down again. The problem went on like that the rest of the day.”

Even with their 2 server connectors to the site, the team is worried that server would be down any moment.

Not only this, once it was released on Cyworld, the teaser video was ranked number 1 on video views, and on the community site (www.bestiz.net), the total views on the site exceeded 100,000 in one day.

Netizens who had seen the video had said, “Looking at the Big Bang members now, I get the impression that they are more matured” , “I’m curious how the concept of this album”, “I am so looking forward to this album” etc.

This teaser video is made by the same director who did TaeYang’s “Prayer” MV and Um Jung Hwa’s “D.I.S.C.O”, and tries to portray a more matured side of the Big Bang members.

Big Bang will release their 3rd minialbum “Stand Up” on 1st August.
