‘Let’s Talk about Love‘ 티저 영상 캡처 (YG 엔터테인먼트)
그룹 빅뱅의 멤버 승리가 솔로 컴백을 앞두고 파격적인 19금 티저영상을 공개했다. 16일 오전 “Let’s Talk About Love”이라는 제목으로 승리의 두번째 미니앨범 타이틀곡 티저 영상이 YG 엔터테인먼트 공식 블로그에 공개됐다.
YG 엔터테인먼트는 몽환적인 분위기의 티저 영상을 정식 성인인증을 거쳐야만 볼 수 있도록 했다. 승리가 직접 출연하지 않은 이 영상에서 남녀 모델과 오브제가 등장해 감각적인 화면을 연출했다.
YG 엔터테인먼트는 공식 블로그를 통해 “지난 1집 앨범과 마찬가지로 작사, 작곡은 물론 앨범 프로듀싱까지 모두 승리가 담당한 앨범”이라고 전했다.
K-pop 그룹 빅뱅은 2006년도에 데뷔를 시작으로 해 여태까지 ‘하루하루’ ‘거짓말’과 같은 수 많은 히트곡을 배출했다.
빅뱅 멤버 5명은 모두 솔로 활동을 활발하게 해왔으며, 특히 지드래곤와 탑은 ‘GD & TOP’유닛을 결성해 ‘뻑이가요’와 ‘High High’같은 노래로 인기몰이를 했다.
‘Let’s Talk about Love’는 지드래곤과 태양의 피처링을 더하며 승리의 지원군으로 나섰다. 세명이 함께 부른 곡은 빅뱅의 데뷔이래 처음이라 팬들의 관심을 집중시키고 있다.
승리는 최근 13일 개인 페이스북 페이지에 빅뱅 멤버 지드래곤, 태양과 함께 콜라보레이션을 하고 싶었다고 전했다.
2년 반만에 솔로가수로 컴백하는 승리는 새 앨범을 통해서 음악적 성숙함을 드러낼 전망이다.
승리의 새 앨범 ‘Let’s Talk about Love’는 오는 19일 온라인 음원으로 공개된 후, 21일 전국 온오프라인 매장에서 발매된다.

Seungri releases explicit music video teaser
By Cha Yo-rim
Big Bang member Seungri released an R rated video teaser on YG Entertainment‘s official blog for the title track for his upcoming solo album “Let’s Talk about Love” on Friday.
Viewers need to go through adult confirmation in order to watch the 28-second teaser video, which overall has a dreamy, hallucinating ambience much different from the concept of his first solo album released in 2011.
The teaser, which doesn’t feature Seungri himself, shows provocative slow-motion scenes of models and artistic close-up shots of sexually symbolic objects.
“Seungri played an active role not only in composing songs for the album, but also in production, just like for his first album,” YG Entertainment stated on their official blog.
Some of the more risqué scenes that have caught viewers‘ attention include the scene of a hand grazing a woman’s chest, and a man taking off a woman’s underwear.
The five-member group Big Bang made a debut in 2006 with G-Dragon acting as leader and is considered one of the most popular K-pop groups both in Korea and overseas.
All members of Big Bang have come out with solo albums in the past. Especially for members G-Dragon and T.O.P., they have actively participated as a duo as well as individual solo artists, coming out with hits such as “High High” and “Knock Out.”
Seungri’s new track features Big Bang members G-dragon and Taeyang, who each contributed to the production of the new title track. It’s the first time three members got together and took part in the production of one of their members’ new album since their debut in 2006.
“I always wanted to work with them. I imagined it to be very pleasant. The sophisticated beat sound and instrumental sound were all we needed for the song. I made my part; Ji-yong (G-dragon) wrote the rap and Taeyang composed a wonderful melody,” wrote Seunri on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
Although there has been criticism for the teaser because of its blatant sexuality, many fans showed anticipation for an older, more mature Seungri capable of standing alone as a solo artist like the other members of the group.
Seungri’s “Let’s Talk about Love” is set to be released online on Aug. 19 and the album will be available for sale in stores on Aug. 21.
