G-Dragon’s solo album “One of A Kind” debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at 161th place. Prior to G-dragon, BoA, Big Bang, and TaeTiSeo made it toe the Billboard 200 chart. G-Dragon’s “One of A Kind” also made it to the top of World Albums chart and 6th place on the Heatseeker’s chart.

As a result, YG Entertainment now has two of its artists on the Billboard in both singles and albums chart. Currently, Psy is staying in the United States, focusing on promoting “Gangnam Style.” G-dragon recently made a comeback on SBS “Inkigayo” and officially started his promotional cycle.

Seung chan who loves BIG ECHO

Today, I had a recording for MTV’s KARAOKE CHART TOP 20. There’s a corner where the guest has to sing songs that are often sang in karaoke. So I sang 
Rainy Blue
 by Tokunaga Hideaki-san!

During my first Japanese class, I was asked by the teacher to listen and then to translate the song. For 3 days, I listened to it and it’s one of the songs I often sing^^ Please look forward for Seung-chan’s version of Rainy Blue!

I also gave a comment for those who want to sing BIGBANG’s songs in karaoke. Please check it!

After the recording ended, I went to eat Mexican food! What did you guys eat?^^

Everyone, let’s work hard for tomorrow! Good night!!!
