BIGBANG BADBOY Lyrics Video
I tried to make the romanization of the hangul more readable and added some "signs"
What they mean :
1.The combination of vowels who are marked in RED represent ONE sound or sound combination.
Example -- YEO is a 1 sound combination and not 3 separate sounds. It should be pronounced as the vowel in the English word "young"
2.Where one vowel is bigger than the other is to indicate that the sounds is more like the bigger one ( check the exact pronunciation in the list at the end of the description)
3. SI is marked in blue to suggest you that "s"+"i" in Korean is usually pronounced as the English word "she"
4. Some letters are mark in grey cause they are hardly pronounced or almost mute. I am not sure for all of them , though .
Here is how to pronounce the vowel combinations
ㅏ ( a ) - as in father
ㅑ ( ya ) - as in yard
ㅓ (eo ) - as the sound "o" in open
ㅕ (yeo) -- as the sound in young
ㅗ (o ) - as in law
ㅛ ( yo) - as in yoke
ㅜ ( u ) - as in clue
ㅠ ( yu ) - as in you
ㅡ ( eu ) - as in the sound of oo in look
ㅣ ( i ) - as in heat
ㅐ(ae) - as in hat
ㅒ(yae) - as the sound in yam
ㅔ(e) - as in ten
ㅖ ( ye )- ye as in yes
ㅘ (wa) - as in water
ㅙ (wae )- as in wax
ㅚ (oe) - as in way
ㅝ ( wo ) as in won
ㅞ ( we ) as in well
ㅟ ( wi ) as in we
ㅢ ( ui ) as in u plus i

I hope this is useful !

BIGBANG Cover Contest - BadBoy video cover ( the making of )
Hello !
I really wanted to participate in the BIGBANG Cover Contest ! I had many ideas but at the end I decided to make a paper theater show that reproduces the video of BadBoy.
I had midterm vacation and I thought there will be enough time to finish my video. Little did I know about how tiring and time consuming my project will be . Still I enjoyed it a lot ! :)
Here I will share with you the whole process of creating the video !
Step 01 – Designing the Set
I followed some fan accounts about the shooting locations for BADBOY in New York and I managed to get the exact address of the place! I have never been in the US but there is Google earth who took me there.
At the beginning I was planning to make an exact reproduction of the street elevations but when I actually put all the google earth snap shots together and compared them to the video , I saw that this is too large area for me to build .
You can see here that I actually reconstructed the street elevation and followed BIGBANG down the block to compare where they actually filmed , in what direction they were going and so on .
Abandoning the idea of exact recreation of the street I decided to be more creative and to turn NewYork into BigBang city . Brooklynway became BIGBANGway and I also altered the shops as to refer to BIGBANG.
You can see some of the references I used to create my buildings here.
The drawing and coloring process
Step 02 – Creating the characters
I made BIGBANG and the girls from the video only but I was initially intending to make also the workers and the skaters … but due to a lack of time I made only the main ones .
See the process here .
Step 03 – Building the set
It was more difficult that it might seem. The hardest part was the bridge. First of all it took me two days to do it – draw it , cut it , glue it , color it …
The most amazing thing is that it actually stays on his own! I put nail polish ( the whole bottle not the liquid only ) into the base of the colons so that they have enough weigh to stay up .
The other part of the set was not so obedient and I was tending to fall or move around but I managed it somehow.
Step 04 – Filming
Here the real problems started . Not only some of my figures were constantly falling down but my camera that is already old, had a problem and didn’t want to work. I was in panic and the only thing I could do is … film it all with my mobile phone! LG Optimus saved my life but it was very uncomfortable and difficult process.
Nevertheless the difficulties I was enjoying the whole thing . It was hard, it was tiring but it was great ! I felt I am back in school , cutting papers and coloring them with my old paints . It was very refreshing to do something manual and not to use the PC for everything .
Still all the last process of the video making was made by computer .
Step 05 – Editing
I really lost count of how many frames I have edited! There must be hundreds. In the process of doing this I started to get better at it and wanted to go back to the beginning and add more frames where is needed but the deadline was so closed and I didn’t want to miss it .Therefore so I had to finalize it all as quickly as possible .
I stayed until 5 am last night to upload it and I went to bad totally exhausted.
Here is the video !
To vote for it you need to go here .
There are three menus . To find the video you have to
1.Choose BADBOY from the first menu ( wait for it to load )
2.Choose Etc from the second ( wait for it to load )
3.Choose Date Added from the third ( wait for it to load ) .
My video should now be on page 27!
I am happy that I did this even if don’t get any award. It was fun and now I have some unique memory from my vacation. I am only sorry I didn’t have time to edit it more but maybe like this is better.
Do you know what was the hardest part of the process ? It was when Fantastic Baby came out and I was so out of space and couldn’t get myself away from the video to work on my cover ! YG , you were trying to distract us so well ! hahah , I am joking !
After almost I week spent on this I am happy that is finally done . I cannot sing or play any instruments well , but as you see I have a passion for film making and design and I used all that passion combined with my love for BigBang in creating this video .
If you like it , please vote for me ! I will really appreciate your support .
Feel free also to share it as much as you can !
Thank you and see you soon !
PS I am now officially working on the Seungri Dress up Game ! I hope it will be done soon !

FANTASTIC BABY video review
(Warning ! this is fan girl account . Not objective. Strongly personal I will try to cut down “OMG” and “Wow “ to the minimum )
It is not my thing to write reviews or interpretations but I cannot help it this time. Blue and Bad Boy had really good videos but it is FANTASTIC BABY, I want to write about .
When I first saw it I was in a strong fangirl happiness shock for I don’t know how long. The video might be weird for some people, but perhaps because it is weird that I like it !
There are 3 things that stroke me in this one (without mentioning the high quality of the production, the great colors and so on ) and that I want to write about .
1. Damn, there was so much skin !
I think BIGBANG have never shown so much skin in one video … like ever! They didn’t have to do it, to still be very charming, appealing and sexy. But this time we had our overdose of fan service and I must confess – I love it !
Taeyang – we have seen him shirtless before countless of them. He is too hot to need any clothes, right haha . But in this video he was so fierce! The tattoos gave him this badass look that combined with his anger, determination and confidence made him look so … strong and wild ( and sexy of course ) ! Strong in sense of invincible . His look was so “don’t mess with me “. Even when he was standing still , his eyes were full of fire . The Sun God – wise and strong , but with no mercy for who stands against him ! hahah
He was different, if you see what I mean. The typical sunglasses were gone. That was one new Taeyang with fierce eyes, moves and voice! I totally love his part in the song . It might be one of my favorite parts. His vocals are just hitting the right place.
Daesung – well here is the place where !OMG ! must be added . We have seen pics of shirtless Dae , so we know he is well built but THIS ! This I didn’t expect it , honestly ! In one scene he is this wild person tied to a wall ( I guess many people dreams came true ! haha ) and in the next we have him super elegant , super handsome in this blue suit . Daesung , you almost gave a heart attach to half of your fans ! I just love you more and more and more ! I am so glad you are back !
So , Daesung shouldn’t run away next time Taeyang tries to undress him on stage . He should proudly show what he has hahah ! ( I am joking here )
Seungri – he gets all the girls in this one ! Damn , little boy , you are so not a boy anymore !
He is flirting with the camera so well ! His looks are improving by the day, really ! I think he was equally sexy just showing skin under the jacket/coat. Ok , I will not say more cause I might get off topic …
G-Dragon – well … he showed his bared shoulders! He was just looking super cool , no matter if you like his hair or not . I mean GPunzel rocks the night !
TOP – the only time you can see Top showing skin is in your dreams , girls ! But is this one of the reasons I like him so much ? Anyway – he is so handsome here that I am totally satisfied with him … well , the curls were a little funny , but it is ok . I have some weakness towards French general or what ever it is clothes style and seeing this on TOP just made my day …. Ok , lets move on before I get stuck on TOP , haha
2. The interpretation
This video has a lot of symbolism but I won’t pretend I understand it all. I will just tell you what I think . It is a tricky thing to interpret things , cause you might get yourself giving a meaning to something that they decided to make just randomly or for artistic purpose .
So here is the story – BIGBANG were in a frozen state . They were put on a hold . We all know that . After last year scandals they had to keep low profile and stop all their activities .
The society/the haters / some medias were telling them “don’t come back yet “ , “stay away “ and so on . Basically the “army” with the “stop the music” signs were the ones who wanted to keep BIGBANG on a hold and not let them come back .
But BIGBANG are awake now , they defrost and come back alive . Ready to fight back for their music .
There is the rebellion. The people who rebel are the BigBang army . They might represent the VIPs themselves – the one who fought to have their music back , to have BIGBANG back .
So there is the battle field ,and GD is there , wounded , but leading the fight .
Taeyang is …praying ? But looking quite angry and ready to “fight for his rights “ .
Daesung had been chained – yes , he spent most of the last year , hidden , “chained” , in pain . But he is now trying to break trough, to get free .
There is something interesting I read on twitter – according to one fan , when Daesung is falling in one of the scenes , VIPs are the ones who catch him and “save him” . The same ones from the BigBang’s army .
What about TOP ? He is also a general in this battle … but there is something funny I was thinking about . Actually TOP spent most of the last year doing commercials and being on the cover of the magazines . Here again we have him , changing frames and being “piece of art “ .
Ok , so what about Seungri ? He was socializing with hot girls , who were fighting over him? I am joking ! He is all in scars . He must have been hurt badly as well .
Daesung is out of chains , looking cool , checking the battle field , fully recovered .
Actually I read somewhere that the fact he is surrendered by cars refers to his car accident .
This thing on GD’s mouth is ... a. purely for concept/design/art purpose or b. he was been poisoned or he has been much slandered … or some fans suggest it is dragons that are painted on his lips which referece to his lyrics .
Apparently BIGBANG win the battle so it's party time ! BOOMSHAKALAKA time!
People can now be free from their masks , can breathe normally and dance and enjoy the music .
BIGBANG are back together . Their moves could be again only a dancing idea , Dragon Ball reference or could be a hint that they have been “blown away” 2 times but they stayed up and didn’t fall down .
What are the animals dancing in the end ? Dragons ? I assume they are dragons since is dragon year .
Finally we have BIGBANG back on their thrones , ready to rule the world !!!
I want to give them a hug ! They made it , they are back !!!
This is why I like this video – one way or the other – it tells the story of BIGBANG coming back after hard times and fighting over the prejudices of people !
3. Energy explosion !
I liked the song before but the video just made me totally love this song ! It fills it up with more energy ! Or is the other way around ? Idk , but the combination of the two is an explosion !
I already wrote too much , so I should stop now even there is probably much more to be said .
It might not make much sense but I wanted to write it !
BOOMSHAKALAKA , everyone !
