fila.

It’s only been days since their nth comeback of the year, the release of their new album and a sleek ad campaign with LG Electronic’s CYON. Now, the boys are at it again for more endorsement deals.

Big Bang recently wrapped up a photoshoot with international sports brand FILA. The concept of the shoot was “chic and stylish” with a dash of “masculinity and individuality”.

Aside from modeling the brand, FILA also revealed their plans to collaborate with Big Bang as designers for a limited edition ‘Big Bang for FILA’ collection to be released this December.

Chickening Out

Just when the K-pop battles actually got interesting, Big Bang announced that they’ll be backing out of their showdown with DBSK. According to Master YG, the boys simply had too much on their plate and had to end their third mini album promotional activities.  What’s too much you ask?  Their “Stand Up Tour” in Japan hitting three cities starting on October 28th and their new Japanese album titled “Number 1.”

The five midgets will have their goodbye stage on MBC’s Music Core this Saturday, September 27th.

Big Bang is N to the I, I

Rejoice as there are no more “I love sex” or “69″ faux badges in sight. NII has been collaborating with Big Bang for several seasons of campaigning now, and the entire catalogue for the Fall/Winter 08 has just debuted on NII’s site.

NII goes back to rich, dark colors for the fall and while the clothes may be your standard prep-school, Ivy League outfits, there’s no harm in being safe, especially if we’re talking about Big Bang. I just wish somebody would tell G-Dragon (again the perpetrator) to stop trying to make headbands work.

Big Bang to release “Making of Video” on MTV

VIPers must be jumping for joy.  MTV Asia will release Big Bang’s “Making of Video” for “Haru Haru” and “Oh My Friend”, covering behind the scenes and short interviews with the members.  Big Bang’s “Making of Video” episode will be aired in all countries that fall under the MTV Asian umbrella.

The exact air date is dependent on each country’s schedule, but many are predicting that it’ll air before the month’s end.

Big Bang’s “Making of Video” will air sometime during the second week of September in Korea.

Big Bang thinks they are “Number 1″

While DBSK is returning to Korea with their full album this month, Big Bang will release their full length album titled “Number 1″ in Japan next month. How ironic or is it? The five mini muffins are probably running off to Japan because they can’t handle the heat in Korea.

Big Bang already signed with Universal Music and their music will be released under indie label “Village Again” on October 22nd. Their album will be released in CD and limited edition CD+DVD format.

Check out the tracklist for Big Bang’s album and take your best guess at how many Japanese songs they recorded. I have my money on none – just like their last album.

02 Number 1
03 Make Love
04 Remember
05 All About The G’s
