Big Bang is clearly making wave into the US market. They have been depicted as the true wild heart of K-Pop by the New York Times.
NY Times described them as "kaleidoscopically weird, hilariously comic and sinisterly effective".
NY Times see GDragon as the flamboyant center of the group, TOP has a regal bearing, Daesung with a totally incredible R&B voice, Taeyang the group's battery and the baby-faced Seungri playing the straight man (LOL).
Meanwhile, the world famous music magazine, SPIN praises the group's concert in New Jersey. It said the concert came at a time where everyone is mourning at the loss of family members and their entire heritage due to Hurricane Sandy.
The group's energy was like a battery that energised the crowds who attended the concert. K-Pop heals New Jersey, it said.
As for G-Dragon, it said he is the "Kanye West of Korea".
My take: GD will be happy to hear this. In one of the interviews, when asked about his dream, he said is to make other people believe in dreams, so that they can be whoever they wanted to be.
