BIGBANG, Stop Before it is Too Late

I'm going to use my newfound knowledge of actually being somewhat important/relevant in the K-Pop industry to try and plead with YGE and its stylists and BIGBANG to stop making some mistakes. I know the boys are going to debut in America and they're working toward that goal, but now it's serious. They can't come here looking like this or else they will get torn to shreds.

Can we please stop with this disaster print that looks like you've snuck onto a Native American reservation and stole some quilts line-drying? TVXQ did it and they looked awful and ridiculous. There's no need to put a whole outfit of that on Taeyang. I will admit, the hoodie with the fur-lined hood on Daesung looks really good, because it isn't overkill. It isn't too much for my eyes to handle.

The same goes for the pants that are on T.O.P. It looks sloppy and that man never looks sloppy. I get the impression by looking at his entire outfit, that he reeks of marijuana and does nothing but lounge around in a damn bean bag chair all day playing video games. What happened to the sexy, mysterious, smoldering T.O.P we have all come to know and love? I want that guy back, not the guy that looks like he's going no where with his life. I want my sleek and sophisticated T.O.P back. The leather jacket is way too big; if you can barely see his hands, you know it doesn't fit.

I'm not feeling the pants on GD, either. I know that is a little more his style, and I think if there was maybe a different shirt underneath his open jacket, I would feel differently about it. I do however absolutely love the wolf ears on the fur hood. Not only does it tie in my whole theft of Native American quilts, but it's so bizarre and off the wall that it shows us the side of GD that we love.

The only two I don't have a problem with are Daesung and Seungri. They're flawless. There is not one thing wrong with how Daesung is styled. His hair looks fantastic, the jacket, the pants, even the red shoes fit together so well. And Seungri is perfect. He could lose the leather gloves, but he can also keep them and it still looks good.

By this picture alone, in my opinion, the only two who are ready to come to America, image wise, would be Seungri and Daesung. GD could maybe get away with it, but T.O.P looks like an 80's stoner and Taeyang just looks ridiculous.

I have slightly less problems with this picture. First of all, T.O.P looks significantly better. This is T.O.P to me. I'm not too crazy about the shirt, but everything goes together and he looks great. The only problem I have with him in this picture has nothing to do with what he's wearing, it's the fact that the stylist should have known that hats with that kind of pattern in the fabric never photograph well. So it looks blurry and distorted and it takes away from him.

Seungri needs to lose the glittery jacket, but other than that he is absolutely flawless. Daesung, again, absolute perfection. And I really wish I could say the same about Tae and GD, but I can't. This is killing me because you all know that I hardly ever pick on Taeyang for what he's wearing, because he always looks so good. I don't know what happened, but the metallic purple leopard jacket is a heinous idea. That needs to be burned immediately.

Maybe just a solid color purple jacket if they wanted to have that outerwear factor and maybe channel Justin Bieber, but it isn't necessary. Especially when he has a neon pink squiggle of leopard print on his chest. Taeyang is manly, sexy, sweet, passionate. That squiggle is anything but masculine. Then when you add the green belt into the mix? I'm not sure if they just took a color wheel and closed their eyes and played eenie-meenie-miney-mo to see what colors to dress him in or what, but it just doesn't go together. Black pants, black shirt, deep purple jacket, purple belt, black shoes. There you go stylists! It wasn't that hard.

Oh my sweet GD. I know this outfit screams you, but I can't deal with this, bb. Not the leather fringe hanging down your back, not the excessive amount of leopard print. Not the way your jacket looks like it is composed of sequins, not the way it sparkles. I don't understand the pink belt at all. I even hate the way your pants are so tight it looks like you're wearing jeggings. THIS NEEDS TO STOP, JI YONG. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS.

However ... thank you for going back to blonde, because it has truly made me the happiest little fan girl ever :)

BIGBANG and their stylists, and even Papa YG if you're reading this, you need to work on this image of the boys. It might be perfect for Korea, but it will not work in America. Back off on the leopard print, I really mean it. I know Koreans gravitate toward it like a bear to honey, but men wearing it in America will NOT be received positively.
