They, who recently had their ‘Stand Up Tour’ in Osaka on 28th October, have also been receiving a lot of attention and interests from the Japanese media.

They have a tight schedule promoting in Japan, which includes appearing on TV programs on NHK and Fuji TV etc as guests together with some of Japan’s top stars and also doing interviews. Famous media and newspapers have also done interviews and articles on Big Bang.

Big Bang, following the footsteps of groups like Dong Bang Shin Ki and SS501 who have also advanced and did well in Japan, has received a lot of attention from the Japanese media regarding whether they will succeed like the previous Korean boy bands.

Not long ago, Big Bang was also hailed as ‘Korea’s EXILE’ by one of the Japanese newspaper.

Som Japanese reporters and media representatives recently visited Korea, and when asked about Big Bang they said, “They seem to be doing very well with their first official album released in Japan”.

They also said, “For those who are interested with HanRyu (Korean Wave) will know Big Bang well in Japan. Big Bang is seemed as a singing group who have their charms and their unique music styles. There is quite a mania for them here in Japan.”

“Even though they are quite successful in Japan, there are still much for them to do. Big Bang’s music style and trend is still quite distance from that of the masses in Japan. Also, Big Bang seemed to be more concentrated in promoting in Korea than in Japan, hence there is a limit to what they can achieve in Japan.”

Meanwhile, Big Bang will be holding more concert performances on 29th in Nagoya and on 1st November in Tokyo. After which, they will release their 2nd Korean official album in beginning of November.

There has also been news articles reporting that they have plans for American concert tour next year. And this is the only information that we can get as of now.

The film is titled “71” and takes as its backdrop real events of the Korean war, in particular the August 10, 1950, incident at Pohang in north Gyeongsang province. Combat had broken out between several hundred soldiers from North Korea and 71 young student soldiers defending their homeland over a 12-hour period, which would later prove to be a pivotal moment marking a reversal in the war.

The 19-year-old Kim Bum will take on the role of a young man who conveys leadership and judgment beyond his years as the commander of the student troops, who had only received basic training and were unable to receive the support of the national army.

Fifteen-year-old Yoo Seung-ho plays one of the 71 student soldiers who does his best to retain his warmth and humanity in the midst of battle.
