What do you guys think of this friendship? I personally love it and can't get over how ridiculous both of them are.

Big Bang's Seungri has landed a spot as the first foreign MC to host a main broadcast on Fuji TV!
YG Entertainment announced on the 24th, "Seungri has been appointed as the MC for one of Fuji TV's main programs 'Motejo 100' ('Motezo 100')." 'Motejo 100' will invite 100 women on the show to reveal their dating lives and lifestyles as well as give unpopular men advice on how to gain more attention from the ladies.
Seungri will be working alongside Japanese comedian Yamazaki Hirano. Reps from the show stated that they decided to add Seungri to the show after seeing his appearance on the Fuji TV variety show 'Room Share'.
Congratulations to Seungri!

( a MYNAME post celebrating their 700 day anniversary! )

and congratulations on being perfect for 700 days!

From Pitchfork
The Korean pop star Kwon Ji-yong-- best known as G-Dragon-- is such a force at home that six tracks from his new solo album Coup d’Etat, released earlier this month, have already cracked the country’s top 10. Ji-yong, a national figure since rising to prominence in the enormously popular and quite good Korean boy band Big Bang, has been fleshing out his solo agenda, which so far has seen 2009’s so-so solo debut Heartbreaker and the more exploratory 2012 EP One of a Kind. (Setting up a career trajectory not unlike that of Justin Timberlake, many have noted.) Both sold extremely well-- at this point, G-Dragon was pretty much just breaking records set earlier by G-Dragon-- but One of a Kind suggested a more frenetic and singular style, best exemplified by the magnificent “Crayon”. That song represented a logical collision of fluorescent, pound-the-alarm EDM, the tomahawk chop chant, and G-Dragon’s referential, sharp rapping; every element throbbed with electricity. But it was an exception, as the quality of his music hasn't always matched his innovations as a style icon. At the moment, G-Dragon is getting more press for his swag than his sound.

Edit: Pitchfork gave a score of 6.1
From MTV IGGY
On the recently released Coup D’etat, K-pop star G-Dragon has his cake and has a fanciful outfit made out of it too.
Successful pop megastars engage with a fan’s sense of fantasy. The Beyoncés, Britneys and Biebers of the world incite lusting, envy and lifestyle aspirations. One of the reasons K-pop’s prince is so magical, and not to mention wildly successful, is because he sets the imagination off in so many different directions. He gluttonously engages with identities; he is a suave superhero, a trusty sidekick (especially to his YG Entertainment brethren, like his group Big Bang), and a Tim Burton-esque cartoon villain all in one.

G-Dragon announced K-Chart winner for last week's KBS Music Bank episode
KBS Music Bank did not air last week due to the Chuseok holidays, and therefore, a winner was not announced for the third week of September.
On September 24th, Music Bank updated their website, announcing the winners for both week 2 and week 3 of September. After revealing KARA as the winner for week 2, G-Dragon was revealed to have taken the crown last week with his track, "Who You?", with 6,441 points.
While EXO's "Growl" maintains their 2nd placing for the 2nd week in a row, and SISTAR's Soyu and Mad Clown's "Stupid In Love" takes in 3rd place, as Crayon Pop's "Bar Bar Bar" moves up 2 places for 4th place. KARA's "Damaged Lady" falls to 5th place for the week.
Congratulations to G-Dragon for his K-Chart win!

Ssongji looks ethereal and considering that all we get is one long adlib, this teaser is definitely more visually enticing and intriguing than musically. There's potential for some really great artistry, though, and I cannot wait!
