    The five members of Big Bang are currently in New York to start shooting their music video and therefore, there is a huge increase of paparazzi following them around.

    Big Bang is in New York to film the music video for their two title tracks, "Blue" and "Bad Boy." Although the level of security was high, the increase of paparazzi caused each member of Big Bang to have a personal bodyguard with them at all times.

    News of Big Bang's music video shooting was leaked by the paparazzi on an international site, which proved that the hype and anticipation for Big Bang's comeback is quite big even overseas.

    Meanwhile, Big Bang has chosen all tracks from their upcoming album to be title tracks. The album will be released on February 29 and the track, "Blue" will be released on February 22. A 30 second teaser of "Blue" was released on February 17 through Naver Music and on the same day, television ad campaigns that showed each of the members' thoughts and feelings about their comeback were aired on national television. Big Bang will start a world tour called "Big Bang Alive Tour 2012" starting from March 2 to April.

    BEAST gets a warm welcome from their Chinese fans ahead of the six-member group’s visit to the country. BEAST’s special music video for “Mystery,” off their 2009 debut mini-album, reached the top of China’s music web site Yineutai.com K-Pop video charts recently.

    The feat becomes even more special since “Mystery” did not originally have a music video when the track was first released. BEAST only filmed a video on occasion of the group’s “2012 BEAST World Tour – Beautiful Show” that kicked off in Seoul on February 4. The music video for “Mystery” was only released on Valentine’s Day, February 14, through BEAST’s official YouTube channel as a treat to B2TYs and fans worldwide.

    “This success tells of how BEAST is popular in China,” a representative from BEAST’s management company, Cube Entertainment told local news agencies.

    BEAST will stage a show in Shanghai on February 25
