BIGBANG member Taeyang [real name Dong Young Bae] with a noticeably different appearance, is now a trending topic heating up the on-line discussion community.

On June 10th, all of BIGBANG [G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang, Daesung, Seungri] members attended the VIP Premiere of 「71-Into the Fire」at the movie theater to celebrate the debut of fellow member TOP [real name, Choi Seung Hyun] in the film.

Even though BIGBANG was together doing a group activity but all eyes and attention of the fans were fixated on member, Taeyang. Taeyang appeared with a short stubble/beard covering his chin and also scrapings on the nose giving him a rugged look.

One netizen who caught this “publish on-the-spot photo” to on-line community and then nicknamed Taeyang’s appearance as “HairyYoungBae” which led to a tense disagreement among the fans.

Netizens who came in contact with the photograph, poured negative reactions such as “seems better to shave the beard off”, “do not forget, you are still an Idol”, “dirty” and etc. While on the other hand, some Netizens reacted positively to Taeyang’s new appearance with comments such as “its simply stylish and fabulous”, “it is fine, a man with beard”, “very man” and etc.
