CXYi1RjUkAAk2Xx
As 2015 draws to a close and we head into the New Year, Big Bang′s Seungri donated 130,000 charcoal briquettes for those in need of warmth.
Seungri, who had a particularly active year promoting Big Bang′s new album and going on a world tour, decided to donate 30,000 charcoal briquettes to give back the support he received from fans and even spent time volunteering at the Seoul Charcoal Bank on December 29.
Seungri, who has volunteered with YG Family in the past, showed up early to volunteer in the cold weather alongside Jinusean′s Sean and other celebrities.
Seungri then donated 100,000 more charcoal briquettes on the spot in order to share the love he has received with more people. As such, including the original 30,000 briquettes Seungri originally intended to donate, he donated a total of 130,000 briquettes.
Meanwhile, Seungri will continue on Big Bang′s world tour with the members, performing at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka from January 9-11, the Yahuoku Dome in Fukuoka on February 6 and 7 as well as the Tokyo Dome on February 23 and 24.

TOP 10 MOST STREAMED TRACKS OF 2015 REVEALED

gaon-chart-2015-800x450
2015 was the year of male soloists and boy bands — at least according to Gaon‘s respected streaming chart.
Local news outlet Hanguk Ilbo combined streaming chart data generated between December 28, 2014 and December 19, 2015 to find out which songs were most popular among the Korean public in 2015. The article refers to information provided by leading music chart Gaon, which compiles data from six leading music sites including Melon, Bugs, and Mnet to provide comprehensive charts about music sales, streaming, and more.
Surprisingly, only one girl group made the list this year — and on top of that, with a song released in 2014. EXID places eight with its viral hit “Up and Down.”
The only female soloist to break into the Top 10 is Baek Ah Yeon with her chart-topper “Shouldn’t Have.”
Also worth pointing out are this year’s big names BIG BANG and Zion.T. Both have three tracks in the Top 10, proving their commercial appeal and wide popularity.
Beloved ballad singer Brown Eyed Soul‘s Naul tops the list with his first solo single “You From the Same Time.”
Check out the Top 10 below.

Top 10 Streamed Tracks of 2015
1. Naul — “You From the Same Time” (approximately 81,970,000 times)
2. BIG BANG — “BANG BANG BANG” (approximately 81,340,000 times)
3. Baek Ah Yeon — “Shouldn’t Have” (approximately 72,570,000 times)

THE 100 MOST BEAUTIFUL FACES OF 2015

this video was created and posted by TC Candler youtube channel. The channel combines reviews and opinions of multiple film critiques to create their opinions and ratings. While we are not sure if this rating honestly holds any merit or not, the most beautiful people video is popular each year and this year, also included T.O.P and Taeyang. So we thought it was no harm to include it here.
