BIG NEWS! 2NE1’s “Hate You” MV Accused of Being Anti-Japanese (Please READ finish) With Evidence & NEWS Report Updated photo

2NE1’s “Hate You” music video has been caught under fire lately after some Japanese fans accused it of depicting anti-Japanese sentiments throughout the clip. The video designed by pop graphic artist Mari Kim features a storyline where four female heroes (supposed to be the 2NE1 members) fight against an evil monster to save the world from destruction.

The anti-Japanese accusations are largely based on two scenes. One is an exploding nuclear reactor that, according to Japanese fans, looks very similar to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Also known as the Fukushima Daiichi, the nuclear power plant was made inactive after being damaged by massive earthquake and tsunami attacks in March. The second scene is the one with a giant evil monster that has a red dot on its forehead. According to the accusations, the red dot on its white head is supposed to signify Japan’s national flag (that of course has a big red dot on a white background).

Currently, the “Hate You” music video on 2NE1’s official YouTube channel is flooded with comments from both sides of the debate. Some of the comments read, “The nuclear power plant in the video is an insult to Fukushima,” or “If it was a different country, we might have thought it’s just a coincidence. But Korea is different because they celebrated the March earthquake in Japan.”

Japan was hit by a 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in March that are remembered as one of the worst in history. Following the disaster, many K-Pop stars and Korean fans sent messages of support as well as donations to help the recovery efforts. However, last September, during a soccer match between Korean and Japanese professional teams, some Korean fans brought out a poster saying, “We celebrate the earthquake in eastern Japan,” which fired up fierce controversy between Korean and Japanese netizens.

 “We celebrate the earthquake in eastern Japan”
The 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that hit northeastern Japan on March 11 has left some 20,000 people dead or missing.

Even some local media reported on this heated debate, saying, “This might just be simple animation. But if more and more Japanese fans start taking it the wrong way, 2NE1’s promotions in Japan might become difficult too.” 

2NE1 is expected to release their first Japanese single on November 16. 

Here’s the video of “Hate You.” Does it look anti-Japanese to you?

Be Prepare to be Ban by BIG BAND In Concert Style

K-pop idols Big Bang next year will hold their annual "BIG SHOW" in Korea as well as embark on a concert tour in Japan, according to YG Entertainment on Thursday. 

Yang Hyun-suk, CEO and founder of YG, announced on their official blog site (http://www.yg-life.com) that Big Bang will take the stage for their concert titled "BIG SHOW" at the Olympic Park Stadium from February 25 to 27. 

The concert is usually held in late-January every year but next year's show was postponed because Big Bang wanted to show fans new songs from their upcoming group album, the latest songs from G-Dragon and T.O.P's unit album, and the tracks from member Seungri's mini-album, Yang explained. 

He added that Seungri's solo album will be released on January 13, ten days later than the originally scheduled date since they wanted to give the youngest member a longer time to promote his record and give G-Dragon and T.O.P enough time to promote additional title tracks "Don't Go Home" and "Baby Good Night." 

The agency has yet to set an exact date for the release of Big Bang's group album. 

Yang further announced that the boys will fully concentrate on their singing careers in Japan as well by holding a concert tour in Japan for two months starting May next year. 

"We discussed it with our partners in Japan and we decided that the group should focus deeply on their promotional events in each country. The boys will be in Korea from March to April, hold their concert and promotional events in Japan from May till June, release a new album in Korea sometime between July till September and then return back to Japan." 

Composed of other members Daesung and Taeyang, Big Bang was discovered and trained by major talenthouse YG Entertainment. They have released several albums and hit songs such as "Dirty Cash," "With U," "Lies" and "Haru Haru." 

The quintet have successfully crossed over into the Japanese music market in June of last year with their debut single "My Heave" which reached No. 3 on the prestigious Oricon daily singles chart and toured three cities in the country which attracted a total of 60,000 fans. 

They have released other singles in Japan such as "Tell Me Goodbye" and "Beautiful Hangover" and performed on the main stage at the Summer Sonic Festival this August and took the stage with fellow YG labelmates for the "2010 YG Family Concert" in early December in Korea.

BIG BAND DELAY CAUSE BY 2NE1

You might think this is just a rumor again. But the truth is that why has BIG BAND been postpone of their album. It is clear now that they finally spills the beans.

Why do I said is 2NE1 that causes:
They have been very proactive. For example, they have already Japanese website provided by the infamous AVEX company which SNSD/Girl’s Generation is in (WOW! How did maintain that). Their album “To Anyone” release on September 9, 2010 and on October 31, later revealed to be "It Hurts (Slow), and on November 26, 2NE1 released the single "Don't Stop the Music". They won first place on “Mnet M! Countdown” for "Clap Your Hands and so many others awards.

But BIG BAND is stuck with Universal Music, 2 Japanese single albums and very few actives are allowed. ? … Why up to now BIG BAND album has postpone again. Last time, YG Entertainment said that there will an album in 2010 August or something like that, nothing came out. I hope that this time they wouldn’t do that again. If you are a fan, you know that I’m telling the truth. You got to know the last Korean album is like (I can’t remember!), but I check it’s in February, with the release of "Lollipop Pt.2", the follow-up to their single, "Lollipop", with 2NE1. Now you can why you can see the reason. So many months, NO BIG BAND AT ALL! Really you think we can not see.

The Future Plan of 2NE1:

Originally, 2NE1's Japanese debut was planned for December 2010, but this was delayed to February of 2011. In addition, there are plans to release a new Korean album between May and June. 2NE1's American promotions with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas has no set time for release yet, because of the Black Eyed Peas' new album release, The Beginning.

The Future Plan for BIG BAND:

T.O.P, Daesung, and Seungri are working on solo projects, while Taeyang is continuing promotions for his album. YG Entertainment had revealed that Big Bang will make comeback on Korea stage on February 2011 after released GD & T.O.P unit and Seungri solo single in December and January respectively.

So there have it folks

Who Dare to BAN GD + TOP!

GD&TOP’s third title track, “Knock Out“, has been banned from all three public broadcasting networks.

KBS, MBC, and SBS stated that the reason for the ban was because the title and lyrics used slang, which they believed would damage the national psyche.  The song itself has been popular on music charts, and news of the song’s ban quickly became a controversy amongst fans and netizens alike.  The majority are of the belief that the ban is “ridiculous and out of line.”

One netizen commented, “TV dramas are allowed to show adultery, violence, swears, and even sexual abuse.  I cannot understand why they would say that the expressions used in ‘Knock Out’ is a problem.”

Representatives of YG Entertainment commented, “The song has already been released to the public, and we cannot edit the title or the song just because the public broadcast networks ban it.  We won’t be editing anything that damages the original meaning of the song.”

G-Dragon had previously revealed that he drew inspiration for the song’s Korean title, ‘Bbeokigayo,’ from the MBC drama, “My Name is Kim Sam Soon“, since it was an expression used by the leading character.

GD&TOP has decided to jump over their triple track promotion by promoting an additional two songs, making it a total of five tracks they will be promoting this cycle.

WAR ZONE Between BIG BAND & 2NE1

YG Entertainment’s fandom has been suffering internal troubles due to a fan division between Big Bang and 2NE1 fans.

Many Big Bang fans have recently been voicing their disappointment due to their belief that YG’s head man, Yang Hyun Suk, is “favoring 2NE1” over Big Bang. The internal conflict originated from when YG did not approve of and boycotted the selection process of the ‘Best Popular Song‘ award at the KBS ‘2010 Music Festival’ on December 30th, which resulted in GD&TOP being unable to performon KBS2′s ‘Music Bank.’

On various community sites for Big Bang, fans have voiced out, “2NE1, a group that underwent the most active promotions last year out of YG artists, didn’t have the confidence to win the ‘Best Popular Song’ award, which is why they decided to not attend the show, no? This only resulted in G-Dragonand T.O.Pbeing burdened by the resulting damages. Why does Yang Hyun Suk CEO only favor 2NE1?”

Yang Hyun Suk then wrote an entry on their official YGLIFE blog on December 30th, in what seemed to be a conscious reaction from this backlash. He stated, “The reason why YG decided to reduce broadcast schedules was for the consideration of the artists. 2NE1, for example
