[NEWS] G-Dragon’s Doppelganger Auditioning for Super Star K4?! (120821)

Tweet

Yoo Seung Woo came out of nowhere and is drawing attention as G-Dragon’s doppelganger on “Super Star K4.” His segment was shown on “Super Star K4”, a show hosted by the cable Mnet, on the 17th. Lee Seung Chul, one of the judges, has commented that Yoo Seung Woo is a strong candidate to make it to TOP 10 and his statement is creating much buzz. Yoo Seung Woo looks similar to Big Bang’s leader G-Dragon when he was little and it’s stirring even more attention on the internet. He appeared on the 1st episode of “Super Star K4” with shaggy hair, cute eye smiles and round face similar to G-Dragon.

On this day, Yoo Seung Woo appeared with the indie band “Fire Moth Star Sausage Club.” He arranged the song “Suk Bong Ah” and sung while playing the guitar showing that he has musical skills similar to G-Dragon and not just the face.

[NEWS/PHOTOS] G-Dragon's Tattoo Fashion! (120623)

Tweet

Group ‘Big Bang’ has always received public attention. It is fun not only to listen to their new music, but also to watch their new style. Among others, G-Dragon is the fashion icon of Bigbang. He is considered best fashionista in Idols. The clothes which he wore, the shoes on which he put have always been major issues.


Then how about his style in daily life? Expectably, STYLISH~

The pants covered his knee, the high socks with star pattern. Who would dare to try wearing these style?At the beginning of June, this was him on Rodeo street in Apgujeong. It’s a place where hot people go. Most people just can’t attract other people’s attention. Of course, G-Dragon, can. His unique fashion, can.

That day, G-Dragon’s fashion was ‘funky’. His pants struck the eye of many people. Long-short black pants with white cross stripes on the upper part and high socks with white star pattern. No one could try wearing these style except for GD.But the point of that day was his tattoos. He had letterings on his both arms. On his right arm, he also had heart tattoo by Keith Harig who is graffiti artist. And there was dragon ball on his left shoulder. It means his name, G-Dragon.

His act of freedom was also 

unconventional. He spent time alone without the other members. He wasn’t conscious of public eyes, he passed Rodeo street in Apgujeong naturally. And he met his friends and talked to them with his bright smile.

Nowadays Bigbang has had their world tour in Japan and met fans. And next month, they will hold their world tour in 7 cities around the world. We hope that 2012 will be ‘fantastic’ and ‘monster’(good meaning) to them. 

He's such a fashionista!^o^
