Plus, he proved his global influence once again by taking the ninth place in the year-end world artist chart in Billboard’s “2013 Year End Chart”, which was announced on the 13 this month.

G-DRAGON has been busy performing as a solo artist this year, achieving a great success as the top male solo singer in Korea, with the music of his second full solo album released this year.

It has enjoyed a great popularity during this year for expression of G-DRAGON’s unique character through a heavy beat and outspoken lyrics.

G-DRAGON has not only swept charts in and out of the country during this year, but also received a rave review as a huge K-POP phenomenon for his global appeal and sophisticated artistic sense, from a number of foreign media outlets such as “COMPLEX” and “New York Times”.

G-DRAGON has established his status as the top male solo artist with the success of his second full solo album. He has recently been performing in BIGBANG’s Japan six dome tour concert.

Epik High member Tablo recently opened up about his late father.

In the latest episode of “Superman Returns,” the artist and his daughter Haru visited the cemetery. Tablo’s father sadly passed away in March last year after a lengthy battle with cancer. While paying a visit to her grandfather’s grave, Haru placed a beautiful flower bouquet on the stone and showed him a handmade card with her favorite fish drawn on it. Even though she could not see her grandfather, Haru directed her heartwarming words at the sky, hoping that he will hear what she has to say.

During an interview with the producers, Tablo could not hold back his emotions, “I miss him the most whenever I have good news. I call my relatives when ‘Superman Returns’ airs, and I also want to call my father and my father-in-law, but I can’t call my father.” Thinking of his late father made the artist burst in tears, and the filming had to be stopped for a while.

He continued, “Sunday [when the program airs] is both the happiest and the hardest day for me. I always have the same thought in my mind, the thought that I want to see him. Before passing away, he said, ‘Haru smiles so rarely. Please make her smile often.’ Now she is smiling brightly, but he can’t see it.”

Boy group WINNER showed their loyalty which attracted everyone’s eyes.

 ‘WINNER TV’ 3rd episode that was aired on 27th, members’ loyalty test was held with Nam Tae Hyun’s acting with tears by hidden camera.

 WIINER was staying at the hotel in Japan as an opening guest of BIGBANG’s Osaka Kyocera dome. The staffs gave Nam Tae Hyun a secret mission which was to eat out in the restaurant without telling the company and ask for help to the members by saying you lost your wallet.

 The first hidden camera subject was Song Min Ho. When Song Min Horeceived Nam Tae Hyun’s text message he worried about Nam Tae Hyun’s unpredictable actions and came out from the hotel not letting other members notice. Nam Tae Hyun didn’t think Song Mi Ho will come; however, he was impressed that he worried as a big brother and scolded what he has done wrong.


Next target was Kang Seungyoon. He was angry at Nam Tae Hyun because he did not reply to his text, different than what was expected, he did not tell the company’s staff he also lied to the production staff and went out to look forNam Tae Hyun. Kang Seungyoon’s feeling was vulnerable with Nam Tae Hyun’s acting with tears and showed his leader like image by saying “Let’s go, I will pay”.

 The oldest Kim Jin Woo was the last subject. Kim Jin Woo lied to other members to protect the little brother and went out from the hotel. As Nam Tae Hyun concerned, Kim Jin Woo was lost and had hard time going out from the hotel, but with the worried mind, he went out wearing the hotel’s slipper.

 Lee Seunghoon fell asleep because it was late night and could not accomplish the hidden camera test.

 Through this test, WINNER members were able to find their teamwork getting tighter. Also, WINNER’s first radio program appearance and making takoyaki test drew the attention.

‘WINNER TV’ is aired every Friday by cable channel Mnet and portal site NAVER TV CAST.
