Korean News & YG Life Post About Billboard's 'Fan Army Face Off’

This was posted yesterday (7/30 KST) on “Expose” News’ website. YG-Life took the article, translated it and posted it to their website. It talks about how the fans are working hard to vote Big Bang’s VIPs as the #1 fandom, and the hard work they have done:

Group BIG BANG has advanced to the fourth round of ’FAN ARMY FACE-OFF’, a fandom vote hosted by American magazine/website Billboard.
On the 7th of this month (local time), Billboard introduced the vote by throwing out a question that says “Which army is the strongest?”
Billboard said, “In 2014, it’s easier than ever for fans of different pop stars to connect with each other. With the explosion of social media making it simpler than ever to find other fanatics of your favorite artist, “fan armies” have become a shorthand for singers’ most dedicated followers…”
Then, Billboard went on to introduce the purpose of the vote, saying, “Only one question remains: which fan army is the strongest? Billboard.com hopes to answer that question with the Fan Army Face-Off, a bracket-style tournament in which various fan armies will square off to prove that they are unequivocally the loudest voices in the pop sphere”. It also heightened the expectations for the vote by adding, “We’ve rounded up 32 of the most notable fan armies today, and through five rounds, we’ll let the fans themselves determine which fan armies stride forward, or fall by the wayside”.
BIG BANG’s fan club VIP, beat Rihanna’s fan club in the first round, Selena Gomez’s fan club in the second round, and Girls’ Generation’s fan club in the third round, to advance to the fourth round where they are competing with Skillet’s fan club, the panheads.
On the 29 (local time), Billboard announced the beginning of the fourth round of “FAN ARMY FACE-OFF” and covered VIPs’ opinion.
BIG BANG’s fan club expressed their thanks to BIG BANG by saying to Billboard, “We’re sure that the VIP club is the most excellent fandom. Since 2006, we have shared everything through a variety of social media channels and we have a deep bond. BIG BANG also shows us how important we are to them, through their Instagram or Twitter”. The club went on to express their affection for BIG BANG by adding, “Now we are celebrating the 8th anniversary of BIG BANG’s debut and we will be beside BIG BANG forever”.
Meanwhile, the fourth round of the vote will end on August 3 in EDT. If BIG BANG wins the fourth round, they advance to the final round.

Also, the opinion/words that are quoted from VIP above are reworded quotes from a short fan essay Big Bang Updates sent in to Billboard on why VIPs are the best fandom and deserve to win. We will post the essay again down below. (The reason the quotes are a little off is the translation. It was English, translated to Korean, than back to English again, and some words/phrases do not translated directly between the two languages.0
