YG's Message: Taeyang Concert Plan - 1 for minors and 1 for adults in Korea

Hello, this is Yang Hyun Suk… /bows~

Today, I’ll be giving you news about Big Bang.

It’s been 3 weeks already since Tae Yang’s solo album came out, but we only carried out TV broadcasting twice (translator’s note: I translated this line literally, but it basically means Tae Yang only made a TV appearance, performing songs from his new solo album, twice)

The person who is most worried and think it unfortunate in regards to Tae Yang’s lack of TV performances is in reality, YG, but the current situation is the fans completely branded the company as a company who can’t pr its artists~ so, we’re receiving both reproach and complaint (translator’s note: the word used here can also be translated as bullying) (there’s really no other place plea our situation to T T)

Of course, it’s true that YG can’t pr that well, but ^^ it seems that the reason Tae Yang’s publicity seemed even less was that while it’s a traditional practice for the majority of the record companies to make a CD for submission to the broadcasting companies a week before the album release (till you receive the broadcasting companies’ judging based on the media content, it takes about a week of time (translator’s note: think of it as a sort of censorship process; they judge to see if the content needs parental advisory or not, etc.)), it’s common to have album contents leak out before the release of a new album nowadays, so in Tae Yang’s solo album’s case, in order to prevent the leak, we delayed the submission of the judging CD till after the release of the album. This decision was based on the love for Tae Yang’s music, but it created a cause for the small misunderstanding.

(Translator’s summary: Mr. YG basically explains why Tae Yang made so few TV performances and appearances. To prevent Tae Yang’s solo album from leaking out, he deliberately delayed the submission of the judging CD to the major broadcasting companies in Korea- most likely cause that’s how they get leaked. Someone in the broadcasting company probably leaks the entire judging CD out online)

And unfortunately, Tae Yang couldn’t carry out his solo activities due to Big Bang’s Thailand concert.

For the angry Tae Yang’s fans~ Yang Ssa’s (nickname for President Yang) special event that he thought of ㅋㅋ

I was thinking of having Tae Yang’s solo concert(?)

I didn’t make specific plans yet but, the concert should be around the end of July and as there’s not enough of Tae Yang’s solo songs to have a full solo concert, I think it appropriate if we held it in a club or a small theater. And in Tae Yang’s case, he has a lot of male fans and fans in their 20s and 30s, so I’m thinking if it’d be more fun if we hold a concert in two turns, dividing the audience between minors and adults.

After thinking about this more carefully, I’ll give you a more specific news soon.
