The Vancouver Sun: "Big Bang’s latest video is fantastic, baby"
K-pop sensation Big Bang’s latest video is fantastic, baby
The boy band genre may be slowly fading in North America, but over in Asia, one act is blowing up all over the place.
If you haven’t yet heard of K-pop sensation Big Bang, an ultra-stylized five-piece boy band from South Korea, chances are you will hear about them a whole lot more in the near future. Consisting of G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P., Daesung and Seungri, Big Bang has been active since 2006 and has released various EPs that helped it break into the Japanese market.
The group’s latest “mini album” Alive was released in February, and single Fantastic Baby has garnered over eight million views on YouTube since it was released just 10 days ago.
It doesn’t hurt that Fantastic Baby is easily one of the most colourfully twisted pop videos we’ve seen in a while, combining RPG style art, riot gear, steampunk elements and street pop swagger.
Rumours abound concerning a worldwide tour, so keep your ears peeled.

"Fantastic Baby" on Stereogum.com's 5 Best Videos of the Week
1. BigBang – “Fantastic Baby” (Dir. Seo Hyun Seung)
We used to make things in this country. Among those things were nonsensical high-gloss music videos that made your brain explode in another way every five seconds or so. Not anymore. We’ve totally given up worldwide-leader status in that department to South Korea, where incredible stuff like this comes out all the time.
BigBang, almost certainly the greatest boy band on earth right now , came close to topping this list last week with their breezily ridiculous “Bad Boy” video. That was awesome, but this — a candy-colored dystopia of dancing dragons and gas-masked rioters and hairstyles that laugh in the face of God — this is another thing entirely. If you’re in an indie band, please watch this and think long and hard before releasing another Instagram-looking mediocrity into the world.
Check the rest of their list here.
Last week, it was BIGBANG's Bad Boy that was included in their Best Videos list.

Date: 2012-03-17 03:17 pm (UTC)also i have to lawl at the current state of indie and alternative music if people are starting to look at kpop for new releases. i don't really want to invalidate kpop though because i think it's about time that people look to asian pop music as something EVERYONE can get into despite the language barrier. and i'd hope people don't get into it as a joke or something "ironic" because kpop and jpop/jrock can be as amazing and even innovative at times.

Date: 2012-03-17 10:47 pm (UTC)I agree with this wholeheartedly.
I'm still trying to understand the paradox of how everyone my age became 'indie' because it was the cool thing to do and by virtue that made the whole thing lame. I guess in a way, that would make kpop fans the new hipsters.
Idek, is what I'm saying even making sense?

Date: 2012-03-17 11:51 pm (UTC)As an old hoagie I often wonder if these young whipper snappers really know what their doing when calling themselves 'indie'. Then again I try not to get into the polotics of it, it ruins the integrity of the song.
