*Kim Jinpyo(artist) revealed his thoughts about idol groups during his interview. How did he view all the idol groups these days as an artist that debuted fourteen years ago?
"When I see the idol groups today I really get the impression that they are 'really good'. The performances of the YG Entertainment artists are just great but I like SNSD(laugh)."
Also he was very positive about the idol group performances, "I think it’s very desirable what’s happening right now. About ten years ago it was only the teens that praised the idol groups but now even the parents can. Recently G-Dragon's performance became an issue, but I think it is a successful case. He finished his performance and even made it a hot issue. I think these controversies are steps that G-Dragon has to go through to become an artist."

*Kiss Scene TOP 10

The advertisement was for LG CYON's clear keypad phone. Both of them, wearing casual clothing, talk about each other’s most attractive parts of each other’s face looking through the clear keypad. TOP, to his 'girlfriend' Shin Saekyung, says "I think number 6(your eyes) is the prettiest~" and gently kisses her on the lips becoming a soft and gentle man.

TOP's exciting expression of affection and Shin Saekyung's shy consent made the viewers' hearts flutter. Because of this, new words such as 'Number 0 handsome guy, number 6 pretty lady' came out.

*Hu Eejae on Kang Shimjang revealed the reason why Seungri is a 'bad man'. On this episode she mentioned, "When I first met the Bigbang members while MC-ing for a music program, Seungri really gave me a really cute greeting. Even though it was my first time meeting all the members he used his hands to make bunny ears and gave me a really cute 'hi'. I was so confused because of this that I couldn't sleep that night."

*This year’s music scene based on albums and performances?
-Kil Hyesung: Out of all the Korean artists' performances this year I think Bigbang's concert was the most memorable. Inside the Olympic Park Stadium they constructed the stage to come up to right in front of the second floor viewers; it was a concert that they put in a lot of effort in for their fans. It was also impressive how they filled up all the seats in the stadium for all four days when the stadium could hold about 10,000 people at once.

*High Cut - Fashion Awards
5) Male Singers: 'Style Genius' G-Dragon
-Hwang Jinsun: G-Dragon is the only idol that is not just 'good' at dressing himself, but an icon with impact. Because of Bigbang, style became vital in the entertainment industry and there has been a change to the relationship between the singers and the fashion brands(Before fashion brands tried to avoid sponsoring singers but for G-Dragon a premium brand(which was Louis Vuitton) asked first to give him a sponsorship). One of his strongest points is that he has his own vision about fashion, not made up by all the experts. In 2009 where he did all his solo activities, he made himself the best contemporary icon through his music, performance and style. He dyed his blond, and added bold accessories etc. to make his style even more extreme. His photo shoots in the fashion magazines were impressive also. His ability to pull-off various looks despite his height and skinny-body was amazing. He is a style genius that would stand out wherever he is.
-Kim Areum: Bigbang gave grave a more fashionable look for the idol group styles which used to be more like costumes. Out of Bigbang, G-Dragon's sense and ability to understand fashion is quite amazing. It was amazing enough that there was an idol group member who wore John Galiano and Ann Demeulemeester, but it was even more amazing that he could pull those looks off in his own way. It was obvious that I was interested in what kind of fashion he was going to experiment with when I heard about his solo album. His album had a big controversy because of the plagiarism dispute; thus there were various opinions about his album. However, the style he presented on stage was even more than what we expected. His unique look where he mixed and matched many items and his blond hair made me say "wow G-Dragon". I'm really looking forward to his fashionable performances at the year-end performances.
-Lee Heeseung: There was no artist that had a unique identity as an artist after Seo Taiji. G-Dragon is worthy of being called our generations style icon since he makes all the trends. G-Dragon is the only idol that can understand and pull-off designer brands such as Ann Demuelemeester, Bernard Wellham etc. that fashion experts prefer. When Bigbang first debuted all I thought was 'oh an idol that has nice style came out'; however, their style was not just made by their stylist. Especially, their leader G-Dragon, walks in an extinct pathway of fashion with his trendy and unique fashion sense where he does not fear of experimenting with style. His sense and creativity to make his musical talent and charms into his own style is the best in our music industry right now.
