Big Bang’s Concert DVD To Release Simultaneously In Both Korea And Japan

K-Pop group Big Bang’s “2014 BIG- BANG + a CONCERT IN SEOUL” DVD will be released in both Korea and Ja­pan on July 2. The DVD, which contains footage from Big Bang’s Seoul concert from this past January, features songs in­cluding “Fantastic Baby” as well as the group’s other hits. Big Bang met with 36,000 fans during their recent Seoul concert. Footage from the DVD is expected to make the viewer feel as though they’re actually at the performance.

At the concert, Big Bang member G-Dragon hinted that they would be releasing a new album soon, giving fans more news to be excited about. G-Dragon has reportedly been com­posing and producing for the group’s new album since March, according to Fuse TV. The album will be EDM and R&B-centric, a similar sound to the group’s previous tracks. The others in the popular 5-member idol group are currently busy with individual promo­tions.

Taeyang is set to release his solo al­bum on June 2. Although very little details have been released regarding the R&B singer’s upcoming album, there is speculation that it might be titled “Rise.”

So far, one poster with Taeyang’s name and the word “Rise” has been released to promote the singer’s new album. T.O.P is currently preparing for his photobook exhibit set which will be­gin on June 4 and last until June 7 in Seoul. Fellow Big Bang member Seung Ri launched his acting career with a role in the SBS drama “Angel Eyes.”

He also made an appearance on the Japanese drama “Detective Kin­daichi,” which is set to air in Korea as well. Daesung has been preparing to release a new solo album in Japan on July 16. News has been circulating that the singer will be holding another tour in Japan in June and July 2014. The tour will begin on June 11.
