Since many news sites have deemed Gahee, G-Dragon, Eun Joo, Psy, Lee Haneul, Baek Kyeong and Taeyang’s six-year-old cameo in Jinusean’s Jeonhwabeonho music video to be newsworthy, we here at YG Bounce decided to bring you another not-news scoop:

Taeyang was recently caught napping in the gym by Master Hwang, who shared the picture with us on his Twitter. He also posted a picture of himself and Minji.
Late on August 21st and early on August 22nd, Se7en and Taeyang both posted pics of the fan-made feast they shared, and thanked the fans for it.
Then, in the morning of August 22nd, Taeyang shared a picture of his dog Boss wearing a sign around his neck, with the caption “BABY ^^”. Around his neck, Boss is wearing a handmade sign that says “Hyung-ah chwego” which translates to “[Taeyang] Hyung is the best”.
Both Taeyang’s Solar International album and Big Bang’s Beautiful Hangover single came out on August 25. Also released are the English version of the “I’ll Be There” music video and the “Beautiful Hangover” music video.
Previously, Taeyang performed “I’ll Be There” on Music Core on the 21st, then on Inkigayo on the 22nd. The same day, “I’ll Be There”‘s Korean music video surpassed a million views on Taeyang’s official YouTube channel.

On August 23rd, the results of a study on ten Korean denim brands’ use of celebrity models was released, and they were sorted from most effective (that is, the celebrity endorsement having cause the largest increase in sales) to least. 2NE1 was number one for their Bean Pole endorsement, with a 30% increase in sales for the company.

Music: Nadir Benkahla, Saeed Molavi, Perry Borja
2. Somebody To Luv
Lyrics: Perry Borja, Kitayama Moss, G-Dragon

One of 2NE1′s stylists, Yang Seung Ho (AKA Yanggaeng or Xin), was drafted into the Korean army a while ago, and in his absence, the other half of 2NE1′s shock styling team, Daniel “Sexy” Lee, decided to go back to London, where they both studied. 2NE1 now has a new, female styling duo, one half of which is Seo Han Young. The change took place during April-May.
Seo Han Young is the designer for underground label Viva-H and also has a blog.
On a related note, we’ve read that Seung Ho and Daniel were just taking a break from school in London and were eventually planning to go back, but we’ve been unable to find a source to back that up. Can anyone confirm it?

Ricky Martin, puzzled by the trending “#happygday” on Twitter, asked “WTF is #happygday? happy gay day, happy gangster day, happy g-spot day?” He then tweeted “Cool! Happy Bday G-Dragon #GoodKoreanPop” once a fan explained.
Taeyang tweeted a link to the Korean version of his music video for “I’ll Be There” on August 19th. The MV was also released through his official YouTube channel, which also contains an ad for his upcoming solo concert. In addition, he now has an official Facebook, which informs us that “the official album will be released on 25th, August. For now, reveals the title song ‘I’ll Be There’ in advance of its official release.”
YG Life also has its own Facebook, created around the same time as Big Bang’s and 2NE1′s.
