Celebrating their 15th anniversary, YG Entertainment continues to see enormous success with their‘YG Family Concerts’, the latest concert in Osaka, Japan, drawing 80,000 fans to a one-of-a-kind concert featuring some of the biggest names in K-Pop.
With artists such as Big Bang, 2NE1, Se7en, Gummy, Tablo, PSY, and Jinusean, YG artists celebrated for two straight days at the Osaka Kyocera Dome on the 7th and 8th of January.
2NE1 kicked off the energetic night with their debut track, “FIRE“, and Big Bang took to the stage soon after, drawing immense cheer from the crowd.
Se7en continued the festivities, and sang the Japanese versions of his songs “Better Together” and “Somebody Else“, the title track for his Japanese mini-album, which is scheduled for release on the 18th.
As recent inductees to the YG Family, Tablo and PSY also provided solid performances, and PSY‘s trademark wit was in full effect as he dressed up as “Lady Psy Psy” and “Psyonce“, parodying the popular American artists.
Next came Gummy, on the heels of her first Japanese album, and Jinusean followed soon after with “Phone Number” and “A-YO“.
As for special stages, Big Bang‘s Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri collaborated with Se7en to perform2NE1‘s “Lonely” and “It Hurts“, and Gummy, Taeyang, and Park Bom made a special appearance on Tablo’s stage.
Altogether, 41 songs were performed at the YG Family Concert, and the energy never let up during the entire three-and-a-half hour long concert.

On December 4th, YG Entertainment rocked the Seoul Olympic Park Stadium for the second consecutive night with their ‘YG Family Concert’.
On top of performances of their released tracks, Big Bang and 2NE1 delighted fans with special never-before-seen stages. In particular, the five-man quintet surprised everyone in the stadium with a cover of hit track “I Am The Best“, transforming 2NE1′s track into a masculine performance with just as much “oomph” as the original.
T.O.P., G-Dragon, Seungri, and Daesung took the parts of Park Bom, CL, Sandara Park, and Minzy respectively, and were aided by the girls’ backdancers.

Big Bang‘s T.O.P. is notorious for being a sub-par dancer but it seems he’s vastly improving in that department.
On December 3rd, YG Entertainment held the ‘15th Anniversary YG Family Concert‘ at the Olympic Gymnastic Arena in Seoul. In the middle of the concert, Big Bang’s T.O.P. was caught via fancam having an impromptu dance battle with PSY.
T.O.P. showed off amazing footwork and fellow member Taeyang should watch out for T.O.P. and his smooth moves.
YG Entertainment will hold a second concert on December 4th and then move the concert to Japan next month.

Kang Seung Yoon and Kim Eun Bi were participants in last year’s ‘Superstar K2‘ and were recognized for their potential after placing in fourth and sixth place, respectively. They later signed with YG Entertainment and began training under the prestigious label.
Kim Eun Bi in particular has been gaining a lot of attention after news got out that she will be debuting in YG’s upcoming girl group. Similarly, Kang Seung Yoon is becoming a rising star after he started acting in MBC‘s popular sitcom, ‘High Kick 3‘.
Despite their contract with YG Entertainment, Kang Seung Yoon and Kim Eun Bi have yet to release any official albums. Fans were expecting to see the two rookies at the concert, however, because of their prior experience on ‘Superstar K2′.
YG Entertainment has announced that they’ve decided to postpone Kang Seung Yoon and Kim Eun Bi’s live performance. On December 2nd, a YG representative revealed, “Kang Seung Yoon and Kim Eun Bi have trained so hard that they would not have a problem standing on stage at this very moment. However, because they have not yet made an official debut, we have decided to postpone their participation in the YG Family concert to another time.”
He continued, “Kang Seung Yoon is currently busy filming for ‘High Kick 3′, and Kim Eun Bi is preparing for her girl group debut sometime next year.”
An earlier announcement revealed that Big Bang would reunite on stage for this concert, as bothDaesung and G-Dragon have confirmed their participation.
It’s been confirmed that Big Bang‘s leader, G-Dragon, will perform at the upcoming YG Familyconcert!
According to concert representatives on December 2nd, G-Dragon showed up in the early morning for rehearsal and successfully completed his preparations.
The announcement finally put to rest fans’ anxieties about the concert, as YG Entertainment had been mum about G-Dragon’s appearance due to an unpleasant controversy. In fact, reports are saying that YG seriously debated on the idea of G-Dragon’s participation until very recently.
However, since the YG Family concert is an event where all YG artists come together to successfully wrap up the year, the agency decided to let G-Dragon perform so that he could repay and thank his supportive fans.
G-Dragon’s participation was further backed up by the fact that this year is the ‘15th Anniversary YG Family Concert‘, which will be attended by over 200,000 people from both Korea and Japan. In light of such facts, it seemed unrealistic to leave out one of YG’s top stars from such a big company event.
Now that G-Dragon and Daesung‘s have been confirmed in the YG Family concert line-up, the concert will carry a bigger significance for those fans who’ve been waiting for months to see all five members perform together again. With the exception of Big Bang’s appearance at the ‘2011 MTV EMA‘ show for their ‘Best Worldwide Act’ win, this will be Big Bang’s first time appearing as a complete group.
Get ready VIPs, because GD is back!
