Big Bang says goodbye with a big bang on Inkigayo


As expressed earlier, Big Bang concluded promotions for their repackaged album on today’s episode of Inkigayo with their final performance of ‘Love Song‘ on the show.

“Love Song” was one of two title tracks for their repackaged album, and were co-produced by G-Dragon and Teddy. It delivered a catchy, electronic rhythm with a unique modern rock feel and became another trend in the K-pop industry as it charted at the top of various music ranking charts after release.

Due to Big Bang’s impending Japanese tour scheduled for May through June, YG Entertainment had earmarked a short promotional period which ended this weekend.

With it being their final final stage, Big Bang had a 5 minute goodbye stage where they performed “Love Song” and a special “Intro” track composed by leader G-Dragon. G-Dragon revealed earlier that he had strung together solo tracks from the members into one short medley.

So check out their goodbye stage below!

CNBLUE performs ‘Love Girl’ on Inkigayo


Having achieved great success with their recent album “First Step“, the CNBLUE boys have returned with a special performance of “Love Girl” for this week’s episode of “Inkigayo“!

“Love Girl” in particular was re-arranged as an acoustic version, different from the original included in “First Step”. The song flawlessly managed to carry the same bright and upbeat rhythm into a smooth finish that only an acoustic cover can give.

FNC Music stated, “Since the boys have received so much love to the point of earning double and triple crowns, we have decided to produce a new album as a way of saying thanks to our fans. With three tracks that were originally only released in Japan and plenty of photos of the members, we hope that it will become a great present for our fans.”

So check out their “Love Girl” stage on Inkigayo below.

Lindsay Lohan to Plead No Contest to Theft Charge

Despite insisting she is innocent, Lindsay Lohan will reportedly plead no contest to the misdemeanor theft charges she faces over a necklace.

According to TMZ, the 24-year-old is ready to accept responsibility and movie on with her life, as her lawyer, Shawn Holley, will go back to Judge Stephanie Sautner as early as next week to enter the plea in the case.

Lindsay has already been handed to a 120 day jail sentence for a probation violation, along with 480 hours of community service.

Sources have revealed that Lohan and her legal team believe that the judge will not add additional prison time on the theft charge, which would mean that LiLo would serve only her original 120 days and that would end it.

After School makes a comeback with ‘Shampoo’ on Inkigayo

After a long hiatus, the After School girls are back on SBS’s Inkigayo with a brand new round of promotions after releasing their first album, “Virgin” earlier this week.

Decked out with a lovelier and more feminine concept, the girls have filled the album to the brim with songs that hold motivating themes like confidence and individuality. It’s been a long year since their last “Bang!” release, so the girls have set out to make this comeback particularly special.


In an interview with Sports Today, After School stated, “Because of a chain of events last year, we weren’t able to promote as a group. We’ve missed the stage that much more, and we’d like to emphasize that we’re promoting as a group now. It’s so fun and we love it.”

When asked about their tap dance routine, they replied, “It’s the result of five months of practice. Because of our personal schedules, we didn’t have a lot of time to practice but we truly tried our best. With our ‘Bang!’ promotions, we were always injuring our fingers. This time it’s our toes.”

The girls concluded, “We’ve been promoting individually until finally getting back together in nearly a year. Because of that, we’ll be giving our best on stage. Please give us your support, as we’ll be promoting for as long as possible.”


Their title track, “Shampoo”, was written by poet Won Tae Yeon (of Secret Garden’s “That Man“) and composed by Japanese producer, Daishi Dance.

With a subtle piano melody and an emphasis on the emotions behind the lyrics, the song seamlessly weaves in and out of After School’s beautiful vocals and powerful rapping.

Check out their comeback stage, which also includes “Let’s Step Up“!
