CASS BEATS CF FEATURING T.O.P SURPASSES 2 MILLION VIEWS

The power of BIG BANG is evident in OB Beer’s recent Cass Beats CF featuring charismatic member T.O.P.

On January 17th, Cass released a highlight reel of the Cass Beats CF on their official YouTube account and garnered over 1 million views within the first week. Since the release, it was reported that the video exceeded 2 million views on January 29th. The highlight version of the CF reveals TOP as a DJ with an extensive backdrop and a large crowd.

The promotional motto for Cass Beats is, “This could be the most exhilarating beat’s moment if I only had Cass.” The highlight reel of the CF can be accessed through the QR code on each Cass can to bring TOP and his EDM music come to life. Though the QR code is for the highlight reel, the full version of the CF, interviews, and behind the scene clips are accessible on Cass’s Youtube channel.

OB Beer shared that, “This CF features TOP, Cass beer, and EDM, which are representations of the younger generation and all these elements come together to create synergy,” and, “OB Beer will continue to choose representatives of the young generation to represent the beer of younger generations.”

Meanwhile, BIG BANG members are currently working on a new album.

G-DRAGON’S INTERVIEW @ CHANEL’S SPRING-SUMMER 2015 HAUTE COUTURE SHOW

Celebrity interviews at Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2015 Haute Couture Show in Paris. G-Dragon’s part start at 3:01:

G-DRAGON’S “IMO” FAN

An “imo” fan of G-Dragon was featured on the latest episode of KBS’ VJ특공대. “Imo” literally means maternal aunt, but it’s also used to politely address older/middle-aged women in Korea. It’s thepolite/more preferred term for “ahjumma”. When used with non-relatives or strangers, I guess it’s between a “noona/onni” (older sister) and a “halmoni” (grandmother). The equivalent term for males is “samchon” (uncle) fans.

The husband says he’s quite happy that Big Bang is not actively promoting since they can live comfortably (i.e. not spending money on concerts, albums, etc.), but he’s afraid that when Big Bang comes back, it might get hard to see his wife. (At least Big Bang’s hiatus makes some people happy.)

She was also featured in another show in 2013:

K-Pop fans in Korea are mostly tweens and teenagers, so being anactive “imo” fan who collects merch like the one featured on the show is a quite uncommon. Emphasis on “active” because I’m pretty sure that a lot of people outside the the tween-and-teenager demographic love Big Bang ;) Also, I believe quite a lot (if not most) of Japanese K-pop fans are of the same age as the fan featured on the show.
