The episode of SBS’s Late Night TV Entertainment, which aired on the 31st, talked about Daesung’s life after being acquitted on charges in a car accident.
A representative of Daesung’s agency says, “He stayed home, but he recently went to the dormitory. We’re not keeping close eyes on him because it might be uncomfortable to him. He’s just spending his days going to church.”

He continued, “He looks fine. He is doing very well in church. I think he’s trying harder than anybody else after the incident.”

YG confirms DaeSung will not return to Big Bang this year
With the case now dismissed, many fans began vocalizing their wish to see Daesung reunite with his groupmates for promotions. However, YG Entertainment has firmly stated that Daesung will not be returning to the fold for the rest of the year.
On August 29th, YG Entertainment stated, “Regardless of his ‘not guilty’ verdict, Daesung does not have any activities planned for the rest of this year. Instead, Daesung will continue focusing on going to church.” Daesung has been attending church regularly to focus on his religious life due to the severe distress and heartache he suffered from the situation.

GD & TOP 'Running Man' Hoax could be something darker
Netizens were abuzz with excitement when pictures were leaked from a purported filming of SBS’s popular variety show, ‘Running Man‘. According to the pictures, the show was filming in Changwon with guests G-Dragon and T.O.P.
The rumors were quickly debunked as a hoax, however, by various cast members and staff. “We have never filmed in Changwon,” said Jo Hyo Jin, a PD for the program. “We don’t have any plans of the sort until October.”
Unfortunately, it turns out that there could be more to this seemingly innocuous prank. “From what I’ve heard, these people have been acting as shooting staff and luring young girls to board their vehicles,” said cast member Gary in a Twitter post.
He added, “I hope Changwon residents will not become confused and will warn surrounding areas as well. It was serious enough for the police to contact us, so please be careful. And make sure to report what you see.”
PD Jo Hyo Jin later stated, “I have just heard the news, and I hope nothing bad has happened.”
“If an incident occurred where someone posed as a staff member and lured people to board their car, it could be filed as a kidnapping charge,” said a representative for the Changwon police. “However, we do not know anything concerning these Internet rumors at this time.”
Netizens reacted with disbelief and concern over the news. “I hope the Changwon-area students are very careful,” said a worried netizen.

The day VIPS have been waiting for-DaeSung cleared of all charges
Big Bang’s Daesung has received a verdict of ‘not guilty’ in his court case regarding his car accident on May 31st.
After reviewing the case, prosecutors decided that there wasn’t enough hard evidence to determine whether or not the motorcyclist Hyun had been alive or deceased before Daesung ran him over with his vehicle. Also, they did not rule out the possibility that the motorcyclist, who was under the influence upon the time of his death, could’ve died from the initial collision with a streetlight.
Based on the above information, they rendered a verdict of ‘not guilty’ for the beleaguered Daesung.

Daesung Acquitted of Victim’s Death in Car Accident
On August 29th, the Seoul Prosecutor’s office dismissed charges against Big Bang’s Daesung over the death of a motorcyclist that was involved in a car accident in late May.
The prosecutor’s office said no sufficient evidence was found to prove the victim was alive at the time of Daesung’s contact with him, and it’s hard to completely rule out the possibility of the motorcyclist being killed from his earlier crash into the streetlamp.
The motorcyclist was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.186% prior to hitting the streetlamp which resulted in severe damages to his face, neck, and back. However, there have been many speculations as to whether Daesung caused the victim’s death as he ran over the motorcyclist who was lying on the street just three minutes after the initial crash.
The Yung Deung Po police office conducted more investigation over the victim’s autopsy results, and held additional questioning sessions with Daesung, while analyzing more black box videos before reaching today’s verdict.
Also, at the citizen jury trial held on August 25th, all nine members of the committee agreed to exempt Daesung from indictment.
“Based on the evidence we have, it is true that Daesung hit the victim due to negligent driving. But it’s hard to identify the direct connection between Daesung’s negligent driving and the victim’s death, and in that case, the benefit of doubt should be given. So we decided to drop any charges against Daesung,” an official from the prosecutor’s office said.
Daesung was involved in a car accident on May 31st around 1:30AM. He hit a motorcyclist that was lying on the street from an earlier accident and later crashed into a taxi in front of him. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead shortly after the accident.

[Extract] Quoting Day 6 [Seungri's Shout To The World Chapter 12]
<Create a ‘dream’ which can change your life>
‘It is okay. Although you have been eliminated in another audition before, if you keep trying, you can do it. Son, Do it until you succeed. We believe in you.’
When I returned to Gwangju after the selection of Big Bang members, my parents had not said anything to me besides encouraging words. I was sure they were disappointed at my failure but they did not show any traces of it. I always reminded myself that ‘I cannot let the efforts that I paid to be in vain.’ so I relaxed a bit. My mum had prepared some good dished for me at the late night for me since I was heading to Seoul again very early on the next year. She showed her support by providing me with good food.
I cannot give up since I don’t want to disappoint such a pair of good parents. ‘In order to repay what my parents have given me, I have to work really really hard. I have to try again ’ I promised myself.
I guess all parents support their children like how my parents do but my parents are especially supportive. When I was small, I did not put studying at the top of my list of priority but they never complaint. They knew that I was very interested in singing and dancing, they just supported me to do whatever I want and have never, ever blamed me once for this.
’You can do whatever you want but I want you to work hard on them.’ I am really thankful for having them as my parents. Even after I was accepted by YGE to be a trainee, they had been helping me out too. They asked the school to allow me to take leaves for training even though I was only a junior school student. On the other hand, I was stressful for their support so I worked very hard to achieve what I promised them.
When I was still a student, I once met some classmates whom did not pay any attention to schoolwork. I went to the game rooms and comics stores with them every day after school. It was the time before I had met the dancing team that I later enrolled in. At that time, I did fight with people sometimes, too. However, one day, I suddenly saw the sad faces of my parents and from there, I discovered deep disappointment. At that very particular moment, I knew that what I had done was wrong since I thought, ‘if even parents could not place their trust in me, who would ?’ And I am so glad that I also started to dance at that time.
Ever since I was small, I have had a dream, ‘I have to be a person who can repay the trust and love that my parents have been giving me.’ Although I did not know what I should do in order to make them happy, I was so determined to do so. I want to try my best in every aspect and be the son that my parents can always be proud of.
This is the dream which motivates me to work very hard throughout the course of my life.

VIP becomes BOYZ after Big Bang fans' protests
The 5-member rookie group have changed their group name to ‘BOYZ’ before their debut.
The members of the group are Enoch, Noah, Yudam, Junwon and Haru. Before they debut, they changed their name from ‘VIP’ to ‘BOYZ’.
Their agency explained the group has changed the name to ‘BOYZ’ although it was originally named ‘VIP’. It got the name because the members are known by it on the internet. However, since it is the same as the name of the Big Bang’s fans, they have faced a lot of opposition from Big Bang’s fan club. Therefore, they finally decided to change it to ‘BOYZ’

A blackjack saw GDYB from the van together.
YB was wearing a black hat. He even waved to the BJ.
After that, GD came out from the van. GD was wearing a white shirt, hat, and short pants
On this final day of the concert, TOP is finally seen! He was with TaeYang at the audience.
When 2NE1 came with ‘Can’t Nobody’, TOP was jamming to it! When CL’s solo came up, TaeYang was jamming and singing along at the audience.
However, it’s not only TaeYang. TOP was also seen jamming completely to CL’s solo!
No TaeZy’s stage tonight, but there was Team GG’s! GD wore a total white suit while Park MyungSoo in black and Park Bom in her red glittery dress.
At the end of the song, GD and Park MyungSoo greeted the crowd while Bom left the stage right away.
GD left when Park MyungSoo had his solo stage. Not long after that, TOP also left. People thought TaeYang was leaving as well, but it turns out that he was with the cameramen in staff area, then he really left.
2NE1 kept performing and after a long while, TOP was back to the concert! And then he left again -___-” (What’s wrong with him?)
No more about BIGBANG later on. 2NE1 continued to perform until the concert ended ^_____^

[Extract] Quoting Day 5 [Seungri’s Shout To The World Chapter 10]
< If you love yourself, you have to be responsible to yourself>
At the end of 2007, I have hurt myself quite seriously 2 times. When I was rehearsing the prize giving ceremony of Inkigayo, I twisted my foot for a wrong step. I was so painful but for the fact that our concert was approaching, I could not give up but took some painkillers instead.
In the middle of rehearsing for our concert, we also had to attend other activities. My foot had been swollen to an extent that I could not even wear my shoes. When I was standing on the stage, I could not concentrate on singing my songs.
Another accident happened when I was performing on the stage. The fireworks had splashed on my face. Although I was not hurt, I was pretty stunned by what had happened. When I walked down from the stage, a lot of people came to me and asked, ‘are you okay?’ I just kept saying, ‘yes, I am, please don’t worry.’ Since I knew that no matter what happened, we could not give up the concert which we had been preparing for such long time. However, despite of my strong will, my body still collapsed. When I was waiting for my turn at the backstage, I fainted suddenly and when I woke up, I found that I had already been taken to a hospital with my parents accompanying me. There was also a staff,too.
‘What happened?’
‘You have just fainted.’
‘Is the concert going well?’
‘They are still doing their parts, just take a rest today.’
When I was heading back to the dormitory, I could not hold back my tears since I felt so desperate that I could not stand on the stage which I love and perform for the thousands of people whom love me. I blamed myself. ‘What can a physically-weak person do?’ Whenever I thought of it, my tears could not be dried.
The hyuns came back when I was still crying. They did not ask me anything other than my condition. My anger towards myself had been growing when they treated me like this. We had been practicing as a team and without me, all of our efforts had been wasted. I felt so sorry for my hyuns who must had been angry and sad.
I surely had to bear the responsibility since if I love myself,then I have to discipline myself to be a better person too. It is just the same case as the parents treating their children harshly in order to lead them to the right path of life. Instead of forgiving myself so easily, I have to face the mistakes I make squarely and solemnly. This is the real way of loving myself.
I do not only need to train up my performing skills but also my physical fitness since skills would be of no use if I did not have good health to support me.

The North Face Lyrics-English Trans
Never stop exploring the northface
GO GO
When I cast my gaze on that high mountain which is far far awayMy heart is filled with joy because of the happiness
I make new ways on the paths which have not been explored before
Step by step GO GO GO GO
Let’s all challenege ourselves
When I look at the high mountain which is right in front of me
Not only have I not feel scared but I am so proud of my being able to conquer the challenges
People are standing at the peak and they shout from the bottom of their hearts
There is no boundary Everything is possible
At the very moment that I stepped at the peak
My adventure has started
the northface Say YES !
Embrace the challenge of climbing to the peak Don’t complain that the mountain is too high to be conquered
Before you fly don’t complain about how far you have to travel
Even though there are obstacles which seem not to be easily overcome like flames burning , I have to stand up straight
the northface I use all my might to try pushing my boundary Say YES!
Never stop exploring
Although there are obstacles which separate us in this cold world
The sun will still rise again tomorrow
Adventure is a must whenever I am still alive
Never stop exploring
It’s the north face
It’s the north north face
It’s the north face
It’s the north face
It’s the north north face
It’s the north face
Everything is possible, I will never stop exploring
It’s the north face
It’s the north north face
It’s the north face
It’s the north face
It’s the north north face
It’s the north face
Everything is possible I will never stop exploring
Survive even when you are facing extreme condition
Survive even when you are facing extreme condition
