This is the last part of Taeyang's Star's Diary, enjoy it!
Soft charisma and a single minded devotion to his stages. What dream does the reliable singer, Taeyang (22·real name Dong Young Bae) have? “I don’t know whether this dream is big or small, but I wish to stand on stages for a long time and always do the best that I can”It’s a simple dream, but the pride as a singer could be seen in his eyes. All the while, he has run ahead and reached here, now he has gained the composure needed to look around.“Before, I wanted to be the person that everyone knew and recognized, and hear “That person is the best” whilst being on the best stage. I still want to be like that. But after a long time, I think I just want to do my best. Then, I’ll become the best for someone else”He said that he hopes his stages have a good influence on many people, and he thinks he wants to do performances that have purpose and meaning.“I hope to do performances that give a good message. That will be work, and when I become better and more influential…but I just hope to do meaningful performances, for children who are having a hard time, and so on”Just like his name, Taeyang wants to shine his light on the world as a singer. Rather than being a shining star, he takes it one step at a time to be an artist that is brilliant and warm like the sunshine that makes everything grow ““I want to abandon thoughts of obsession and greed, instead just do activities steadily. I believe I will be able to showcase not only one song but different songs on my album”Taeyang, who never forgets his passion for music and affection for others, and works with worry and relentless efforts, makes everyone who watches him smile.For us, he already is the bests singer in this world! And more than that!!! He's just PERFECT!!!!!!*.* We love him!!
Is pain needed for new things to be born? The product of pain which Taeyang (22·real name Dong Young Bae) went through last year is coming soon as
a full album. “I’m doing almost last-minute works. It seems like a little over
10 songs will be included.
He actually suffered untold pain last year because of preparing for this album. Managing both, work for his album and other schedules, he was tired mentally and physically.He has gone through a long painful time to put out a satisfying album. “My album is likely about to come out soon. It’s my first full album that I released with my name,
so I feel different from the mini album or the single album.”With earnest, he could use his own “colors”, those of which he couldn’t show this whole time.“It’s hard to say what style songs they are. You will see as you listen to it, rather than my words.
It may sound new. It was filled up with songs that can contain my style well rather than songs which are “too trendy”. It’s basically R&B”At the height of working for his album, he became sensitive enough that his members couldn’t easily come near him . But that time has passed.“It’s an official full album that I released with my name. That’s why I was very stressful and sensitive.
I kept trying to think of the reason of why I liked music. It’s right that I do music because I’m happy, I sing and I’m happy when I do music, so I thought it (music) shouldn’t be painful either”At the time, he made efforts to hold his own musical energy by breaking up his busy time and
gathering up his scattered mind.He grew up some more with the hard times.“Now I feel much more free. Actually on my birthday I even wanted to say to my fans don’t give me any presents’. Because I was sorry to give them nothing… But I think I’ll be able to give a
present now, too. Excited.”Ayyy! How can he say that he didn't give us a present when he's the most beautiful present we can get!! TAEYANG always VIP!!!*.*
Taeyang’s ideal woman is someone who has a sincere and pure air around them, a person with a warm and considerate personality. Taeyang reveals that if he met such a person, he would want her to be his first and last love.“I like someone who knows how to be considerate of others,” Taeyang begins. Instead of having a short term relationship, what Taeyang would like is a more deep and meaningful relationship that will last for a long time. Taeyang admits that there has been times in his life when he felt ‘worthless’ because of how awkward he felt around other people. Even still, he would prefer not to get involved in a relationship if it wasn’t going to be a long-term one.“After meeting someone once, if you like them…you can continue to be friends, but I can’t seem to do that. Instead of a person that I can meet with in my spare time, I want to meet a person that makes me feel thankful to be alive. If I was to meet that someone tomorrow, I would like that person to be my first and last love.”These days, Taeyang has many thoughts about love. But because of his cautious personality, he lacks a lot of experience for a young man of his age. Without having any former experience of being in love or the pain of that comes with a broken heart, Taeyang uses his imagination when it comes to expressing those kinds of feelings in songs.“Instead of a relationship where you just fight or hurt one another and then break up, I want to meet someone that I like a lot and cherish her for as long as I can. There’s been many times when I’m singing a song that deals with scars from an old love and I think, ‘This is what it’s going to feel like’. For example, in ‘Only Look At Me’, I sang that with a lot of anguish, but I had no experience to draw from. I just sang it with the feeling of ‘I love this girl so much’.”At a young age of 22, Taeyang still has many opportunities that lie ahead for his career and personal life. With his distinct calmness and serious personality, he will take his future one step at a time. Even though his stage persona may say ‘I know everything’, his real personality feels much more sincere and down to earth.Oh my god.... he's soo romantic!! And soo innocent......woow we're about to crying! He felt worthless? He is the only person that is more worth than the whole world! WE LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH!!
Taeyang (22, Dong Young Bae) who has a shy personality, actually has never gone out until now.
“I certainly want to meet a girlfriend this year. It seems as I get older, I won’t be able to meet anyone”There’s a couple Taeyang envies so much. They are Sean and Jung Hye Young of the same company. When he sees Sean living happily, he thinks ‘I should live like that, too’.“Maybe three months ago, Sean-hyung said he would make dinner for me, so I went to his house. Having dinner, I felt so many things while I saw Hye Young-nuna, Ha Eum, Ha Rang and Ha Yul together.”It was a result of a happy family that he saw. It was a family that makes you happy just by looking at it.But Taeyang is a man who is poor at relationships. Even if he gets to like someone, he misses the timing after worrying ‘What if doesn’t goes well?’, ‘Wouldn’t she be uncomfortable?’“I had a first love in my school. But I didn’t think it would go well, because I couldn’t help her . Looking back on it now, it might have been well…”He hesitated and hesitated again that he would disturb her, his first love.“She was preparing to enter a foreign language high school. Shas studied a lot, so I could see that she was debating whether meeting me was important at the time”He stepped back, seeing her work hard. After that, he has never gone out because of hard training and busy activities.When he focuses on something, he is stuck in it. But, his careful and prudent personality became an obstacle in relationships.“I could feel free to meet someone. But why can’t I?”Wow! This guy is the dream of everyone... Someone like him you do not see everyday!! And you won't see in the next hundred years! And also futher than that! This person is too perfect! This is our YoungBae - the cutest and hottest person ever!
2009 was an exceptionally tough one for Taeyang (22·real name Dong Young Bae). Managing both Big Bang’s activities in Japan and preparing for his solo album, he got more and more tired both mentally and physically.“I feel last year was just a blank in my life. It was a nervous time, maybe because it was the third year in my singing career.”For him, it has often been obligatory to stand on stages. Singing in an uncharged state, he has been exhausted and it has been hard on his mind.He was the happiest, singing and dancing in front of audiences and he believe that was what brought him the most happiness, but he also felt pathetic towards himself that he couldn’t do his best.“I thought I didn’t sing sincerely, and felt like ‘What did I do on the stage?’.”This was during the time he had to prepare for his solo album under pressed schedules. His music didn’t come from the mind to begin with. His mind felt unstable, like he was pressed for something, and there was no particular goal for an outcome.“After schedules were finished, I had to prepare my solo activities. I was pressed for time and pressed for work, so I couldn’t have the peace of mind I wanted”At that time, he sang to tunes and beats but there was no emotion. The doors of his heart were shut as well. It was hard for him to meet people and smile.“I didn’t even want to see people so I just stayed home. Besides, I couldn’t sleep well…”But the moment he saw the first snow of 2010, he changed his mind.“It’s too hard to live like this.”Ayy....he couldn't sleep....why didn't he call us?
We can't find words to describe him.....he's just soo amazing*.*
Taeyang (22·real name Dong Young Bae) finally debuted in Big Bang, after his tough trainee days. Doing activities in front of the public, he was able to give pleasure, but he has also had numerous secret conflicts.“To tell you the truth, I had some worries after my debut. Actually I’ve liked “black music” since my childhood and thought I could become like my favorite artists. I’ve always dreamed of that but after I debuted in an idol group, I had to be “popular” and do activities with songs which I’ve never considered singing. So I was confused for a while.”He learned, for the first time, that the world couldn’t be as he had hoped. He was sorry to miss the many musical activities he strived for because of his busy schedules.“I didn’t even have time to shed tears. The expectations of too many people became a burden for me from the beginning of my debut. We continually put out albums and still now, have work to do. Receiving the grand prize is not the end because we always have to think of the next.”Because they are a popular idol group, there were a lot of activities like filming commercials besides music. These outside parts became stressful to Taeyang. But the missing parts could be fulfilled through his own effort and solo activity. “There are many things I gained through my solo activity. When I did activities as Big Bang, the members used to fill my lacking areas. In the solo activity there was a feeling of backpacking. I had to do everything by myself but that was very amusing.” He got to like music more. He tries to convey and give his 100% percent during those moments. He felt, that the more he – through music – gives other people pleasure, the more happier he would be. Seeing that audiences were delighted, Taeyang was the happiest in those moments while standing in front of his audience.
Taeyang (22·real name Dong Young Bae) and G-dragon (23·real name Kwon Ji Young) have been together over 10 years, from trainee days. Suddenly I was curious. Wasn’t there any rivalry between each other? Have they ever fought?
“We’ve fought only once. While playing basketball together…”Taeyang and G-dragon were playing basketball, dividing into teams with the dancer team. They lost to the dancer team every time. Competitive Taeyang thought ‘I will win at any cost’, but G-dragon said ‘it’s an impossible game’ and wanted to stop.“We continuously lost and Ji Young said ‘Let’s stop’, but I said ‘let’s try until we win’. We quarreled ‘do’, ‘do not’ and finally fought. Hahaha.”The two of them have opposite personalities and preferences. For example, G-dragon’s has had a variety of hairstyles of over 200 times after his debut, but Taeyang has changed his only twice.“Ji Young is always fearless when doing something. I’m cautious when I choose. So I think that’s why we’re very compatible. I hold him on and Ji Young shows me what I can’t see.”Even when they choose menus, Taeyang wants to have ‘something that is just tasty’ but G-dragon has a specific menu in his mind that goes like ‘this in this situation, ‘that in that situation’.“I’m indecisive so it’s hard to choose something. Ji Young is not so. But we basically have regard and respect for each other. There are things I concede when I see Ji young, and Jiyoung as well. Now actually I think my real friend is only Ji Young.”Two friends, who have consoled and supported each other and have been together in their tough childhood throughout their trainee days. The hard entertainment life has not been lonely because they’re by each other.“Working together, plainly there would be parts that don’t fit. But I think we have been doing well through thick and thin together."
Isn't he lovely?? And not to forget:the cap! He was is and will be the cutest boy we've ever seen! *.*
