YG Entertainment gives Taeyang a double dose of promotions

Fangirls will be delighted to hear that Taeyang of Big Bang will be doubling his music show performances from here on out!

YG
Entertainment has confirmed that Taeyang will be performing at 2 music
shows a week instead of one for his Wedding Dress promotions. At first,
there were many concerned voices regarding the extra workload, but the
agency reassures that these promotions will be successful.

YG
Entertainment decided on "one TV show per week" policy when G-Dragon
and 2NE1 started promotion, limiting their exposure on screen because
four days of music show schedule per week seemed too burdening. At
first it seemed to backfire, but YGE's figurehead Yang Hyun Suk thinks
that it has been successful. He expressed, "I felt bad for working the
artists all day from 9AM in broadcasting stations. ... Originally,
everyone, including the vice president, was opposed to this new policy.
I'd take full responsibility if it fails, but the results have been
good."

"Taeyang has been preparing very well," YG shared with
Asian Economy Daily over a phone conversation. "We plan to refrain from
the typical YG policy; he himself is in favor of this exception of
doing broadcasts two times a week."

"The Wedding Dress comeback
performance on last night's (November 15) SBS Inkigayo received a hot
response," a representative added. Taeyang worked with the same team
for Look Only At Me, the singer's popular solo debut song back in 2008.
I think many fans would agree - with its refined choreography and
addicting melody, Wedding Dress is undoubtedly the talk of many fans
out there.

Let's just hope that we don't get any overexhausted
celebrities in the next few months - after watching the cast members of
Boys Over Flowers dropping like flies earlier this year, fans are
paying special attention to dangerously loaded schedules.

Yang
Hyun Seok, the representative of YG entertainment, revealed his new
scheme, “Only TaeYang is intended to broadcast twice in a week,
changing the past policy.”

Recently, by telephone, he stated
that, “TaeYang’s performance is very ready. He will be an exception to
the policy that YG has on limiting broadcasting. It will now be a
“twice a week” broadcast.”

He revealed why he decided to change
the policy, “I’ve seen TaeYang practicing the choreography, and I felt
it was too good to be seen by just me. Also TaeYang seemed to have
practiced enough, and it looked good enough to be broadcast twice in a
week.”

YG entertainment has released 2NE1 and GDragon this year
but has been decreasing the number of broadcasting, making
‘broadcasting once in a week’ their motto, because it is burdensome to
take four days in a week to broadcasting schedule. There were a lot of
concerned voices at first, but he reassures that it is successful.

He
says, “I felt bad holding the artists all day, from 9:00 AM, in the
broadcasting stations. I wanted to carry through the policy of
broadcasting “once in a week” from the time Big Bang’s Haru Haru was
being promoted, but instead it began from the rookies 2NE1 because I
feared Big Bang may seem “changed” after their success. Actually all
personnel, including the vice president, was opposed to this strategy.
I would have had to take full responsibility if it had failed, I was
lucky to get good results though.

He also said, “TaeYang needs
less practice than 2NE1, so I thought it would be good to increase the
number of broadcasting, and TaeYang was in favor of this as well.”

In
addition, TaeYang got a warm response after his comeback stage on
Popular songs ( SBS Inkigayo). He worked again with the team who
choreographed “Look only at me”, which gained popularity last year, and
the choreography this time around gained approval and praise such as
“That’s TaeYang, as expected”.
