The Guardian:"GD and Taeyang the real global stars"

 BIGBANG’s G-DRAGON and TAEYANG are drawing attention, as the Guardian names them “the real global stars” of 2014 Paris Fashion Week.

The online edition of the Guardian wrote, with a photo of GD and TAEYANG watching Saint Laurent show in the front row, “Their legions of fans in native South Korea and Japan made sure the two of them – with TAEYANG in a checkerboard biker jacket, and G Dragon with blue hair – were Instagram’s stars of the Saint Laurent show.”

GD and TAEYANG, who left for Paris on Jan 15, have been attending fashion shows of global brands like Chanel, Lanvin, Saint Laurent, Tom Ford, Juun. J, and Kenzo. The two attracted paparazzi’s everywhere they went, and have been mentioned by foreign media including W Magazine and WWD, apart from the Guardian.

Their encounter with world’s top designers like Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld, Tom Ford and Rick Owens, along with former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld was also captured in photographs. High-end brands mentioned the two YG artists’ visit to their show through SNS, which shows that their popularity in Paris is simply magnetic.

The two will be in Paris until Jan 22, and will be back in Korea in the morning of Jan 23. From Jan 24 to Jan 26, they will be joined by the rest of BIGBANG members for 2014 BIGBANG +α in Seoul at Seoul Olympic Park’s Gymnastics Arena. This will be their first South Korean concert of all five members in a year.
