🎤 allkpop: [INTERVIEW] Bang Yong Guk teases new album, opens up about self-discovery and touring: 'I think I know myself better than anyone else'

EXCLUSIVE [INTERVIEW] Bang Yong Guk teases new album, opens up about self-discovery and touring: 'I think I know myself better than anyone else'

Nearly 11 months after the release of his second mini-album, ‘THE COLORS OF LOVE,’ singer-songwriter Bang Yong Guk ignites anticipation of his upcoming record, ‘3.’ “I would say that this album is filled with music that you can listen to all day long and not get tired of it,” said the artist revealing that the album is going to be a lot different from his previous ones.

Bang Yong Guk is heading to Melbourne and Sydney on March 15 and 17, respectively. Tickets to his shows in Australia are still available on BoxLiveAu’s website. In April, the artist will embark on a US tour spanning 11 cities, including Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and more.

Having fulfilled his dream of performing on stages around the globe with the music he has created, Bang Yong Guk now seeks to empower others chasing similar goals. “I want to help make the dreams of others come true,” he shared.

Ahead of his new album release and Australian tour, Bang Yong Guk caught up with allkpop to talk about his musical journey, love for music, strong sense of self, and more. Keep reading to learn more about the all-rounder artist!

Check out our exclusive interview with Bang Yong Guk last year in this link!

allkpop: In an interview last year, you said you’re still the same person with the same values. But if we would compare you, yourself right now to yourself 5 years ago, what do you believe is the biggest difference? If you look back on the past, do you think you’re absolutely better and more confident now?

Bang Yong Guk: I’m aging like everyone else. (laughs) My values and morals have not changed. I don't think the other things that I think make life worth living haven't changed. They remain the same. I’m still just a normal person who’s doing music. I’ve been having a lot of quiet days. I’m currently enjoying my life breathing on this Earth like everyone else.

allkpop: I asked you that question because, in another interview in the past, you said Yong Guk is someone who never changes. People say it’s not good if you’re not changing as a person. So I was wondering how you approach that mindset of yours and what “Yong Guk is someone who never changes” means to you. Can you elaborate more on that?

Bang Yong Guk: I think some people might believe that I’m a good person, but to some people, I could also be a bad person. However, rather than care about or pay a lot of attention to what other people say about me, I’m just the type of person who tries to focus more on myself and my values, at least for now. Of course, I'm always trying to be a better person as I get older. And I think the fact that I don't change is just because I have a certain stubbornness or something when it comes to my music or career. But I’m always trying to show you a better version of myself.

allkpop: You’re going to release an album soon! Tell us how you prepared for it, and how would you describe your participation or involvement in the album in terms of the creative side? What can we expect from this new album of yours?

Bang Yong Guk: For my upcoming album, it’s going to be different. I changed the genre and style of the music I used to do. I think that the usual music genre I was doing tended to be difficult for my fans to listen to for a long time in their daily lives. So, I would say that this album is filled with music that you can listen to all day long and not get tired of it.

allkpop: Since you’ve been participating in the creative process of your songs. Could you give us an instance where you didn’t like your work and you weren’t satisfied enough with it? How did you overcome that?

Bang Yong Guk: Personally, I think that I was a little bit disappointed with my last album. I wasn’t really totally satisfied with it. So, I tried to improve that as much as possible on my new album. I feel like I can release this album with a little bit of confidence, and I'm looking forward to it because it's so fresh for me. Usually, if I don't like something, I just work on it a lot on my own. I solve it by fixing the things I don't like.

allkpop: You said that when you’re working on new music in your studio, you imagine yourself performing those songs on stage. And that’s when you realize why you’re doing music. Could you describe your relationship with music now? Has your goal been the same since the beginning? And what exact goal is it?

Bang Yong Guk: First of all, I think that I've been making music since I was very young, and I still love music so much that even now, at my age, I still feel the same way that I did when I first started. My love for music hasn't changed. I still love creating music and being on stage with the music I’ve created. I actually had a big goal in my life when I was younger, doing music. That is to be able to travel around the world with the music that I made and have it heard by a lot of people and be able to sing it myself on stage. I'm so fortunate to be living that goal right now. I'm already in a happy situation. I don't know when this will happen, but I think one of my goals in the future is to be able to be the person who can be of help to others who have a similar goal as me. I want to help make the dreams of others, who have dreams like I did when I was younger, come true.

allkpop: You said in an interview that when you work with other artists, you try to understand their identity. How about for yourself? Do you think you have a better understanding of yourself and what you want? Do you think you already know yourself on a personal and deeper level?

Bang Yong Guk: I think my flaw is that I'm too objective about myself rather than being subjective about myself, so I think that's why I'm so harsh on myself too. I’m not really a person who has a lot of interests, so I think I just go through life giving myself the most attention. So to answer that question, yes. I think I know myself better than anyone else. That's kind of hard sometimes, and that's my flaw. But I think I've got that under control and I think I'll continue to do that until I die.

allkpop: You’ve held successful solo tours. What makes this year’s tour different from your previous ones? What kind of development in terms of your stage presence or ability to sing and dance simultaneously live do you feel the most?

Bang Yong Guk: When I was younger, I used to be on bigger stages and I couldn't really feel the energy of being up close and personal with the audience. From my solo tours, one of the differences is that I now can feel the energy and love of my fans very well. I love sharing the moment where my presence and my fans’ presence are there at the same time and place. That’s what I love about my solo tour. This Australian tour is just kind of an extension of the last world tour that I did, and it just happens to coincide with the season where my new album is coming out. So, I promise you that if you come and see me, you're going to have a great experience!

allkpop: I was wondering if artists like you who have gone through numerous shows ever get fed up performing the same songs over and over again? I’m curious how you approach this.

Bang Yong Guk: First of all, I only tour once a year at most, so I don't think I can compare myself to such big artists. But what I would potentially do is focus on the setlist of the concert, and sometimes, I alter the songs slightly. However, I know that there are songs that my fans love and that are popular with them, so I try to sing as many of those songs as possible while keeping the feel of the original songs.

allkpop: Lastly, please leave a message to our readers and invite everyone to attend your shows in March!

Bang Yong Guk: First of all, I would like to thank allkpop readers for still loving and liking K-Pop! And now that my Australian tour is coming up soon, so I hope you will come and see me! I would like to ask for a lot of interest and love for my new album as well. Thank you!

hey lottie, i found your blog about 10 mins ago searching 'australian national university' ... imagine my surprise when i saw you're doing political science, which is exactly what i want to study at ANU!! i live in sydney and am currently in yr 12 and am gonna go to open day on the 16th. i was wondering if you had any advice (no matter how small, id love to hear it) to someone who's currently at my stage or just any info about things i should be prepared for. or any xtra info about accomodation!

hey hey!!!

i have loved my degree, i gained so much knowledge and insight. the quality of teaching is really high, and the profs do genuinely care for their field. the department has some of the best political scientists in Australia

Study wise, get ready for lots of content, first year is pretty much the basics but probably the hardest in terms of volume of content. I actually prefer later years courses because you get more specific information about a topic, whereas first year courses are introductory level. It may seem boring, but these courses will teach you how to study and write essays at a uni level.

My other advice would be to try and get in the APS as soon as you can, either in an entry level role/internship (if you intend on going the public service route. Either way, it’s quite easy for polisci undergads to find APS work, and much better than being in hospo). You can look around on LinkedIn or the APS Gazette website for jobs. Look around for internships and stuff too. If you’re interested in academia/honours, I would suggest asking profs from second year if they need any research assistance, that’s really great experience. Definitely make an effort to show up to class and do the readings, profs love eager students. If you do honours, getting to know profs will be useful in picking a supervisor later, and they’re good contacts to have for job references. Profs will always be happy to give you references if you get like over 70 in their course. Networking and connections are important, so get on that linkedin game and have good relations with profs. It’s very different from high school, but they do care if you reach out.

Accom wise, I’ve been at UniLodge (I don’t want to say which one for obvious reasons) for all of my degree (I’m South Australian originally), and have generally liked it. Very good atmosphere if you get involved, we put on a great o week. Definitely stop by lodge on open day, you can see some of the buildings etc. lodge is still the cheapest accomodation on campus I believe. ANU is great if you’re from Sydney, they are loads of buses and train connections. I’ve been to Sydney several times for concerts and stuff, it’s pretty easy to pop back for a long weekend (way harder for me to go home to Adelaide frequently. I’m jealous of my Sydney sider friends aha).

I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have any more specific questions after open day!

Do You Qualify for the Obstetrics and Gynaecology MRCPI?

Are you hoping to have a prosperous OBG career in Ireland? The OBG exam from the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (MRCPI) is the golden ticket that will put your life back on track. Here, we will go over the specifics of MRCPI qualifying requirements if you intend to sit for the exam in 2024.

Are You Allowed to Take the Written MRCPI OBG 2 Exam?

Verify your eligibility before choosing to take the MRCPI Part II Written exam.

You may apply to take the MRCPI OBG 2 written test if you meet any of the following requirements:

MRCOG Part I (exemption from MRCOG Part I is not accepted)

RCPI Professional Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (only awarded from 2022 on)

MRCPI Part I (General Medicine or Paediatrics) obtained within the last six years

MRACOG (Australia)

MRNZCOG (New Zealand)

FCOG (SA)

FCPS (O and G) (Pakistan)

MRANZCOG

MMed (O and G) (Malaysia) — 2008 onwards only

Candidates must have completed 18 months of post-registration training in recognised posts, together with 9 months in departments of obstetrics and 9 months in departments of gynaecology, in accordance with the eligibility standards issued by RCPI. In a joint role, candidates can additionally complete training in obstetrics and gynaecology. The Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists at RCPI must accept all of your education and certifications.

What Documents are Required while Applying?

The following documents must be uploaded in scanned copy when you apply for this exam:

Primary medical degree.

It is necessary to have an attested copy of your first medical degree. Transcripts and certificates will not be accepted by RCPI; only authentic parchment copies of diplomas will.

Part I or equivalent qualification certificate.

A copy of your Part I or comparable certification is required because RCPI does not presently offer the MRCPI Part I in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Instead, candidates are applying for the written MRCPI OBG 2 test. You must submit your application and your authentic Part 1 Pass letter in order to take Part I of the MRCOG. To apply for the Part 2 written test in the MRCPI OBG, you will need the official parchment copies of your diploma if you hold an FCPS or other equivalent certificate.

Testimonial form.

To take the exam, you must have a testimonial form completed and signed by two referees. The blank testimonial form is available for download on the official RCPI website for candidates.

Applicants must enclose an authentic translation of their degree, if it is not in English, with their medical degree.

A candidate is only permitted to attempt any part of the MRCPI exam up to six times in total. Our team of professionals can help you succeed if you’re searching for the ideal learning platform to pass the MRCPI qualification on your first try.

VistaClear Reviews: A Natural and Effective Supplement for Eye Health?

VistaClear is a dietary supplement that claims to support vision health and improve eyesight naturally. It is based on an ancient Aboriginal recipe that uses 26 natural ingredients, such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. VistaClear is designed to address various factors that affect eye health, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, nutrient deficiency, and poor blood circulation. In this article, we will review VistaClear in detail and answer some of the common questions that potential buyers may have. We will also look at the ingredients, benefits, side effects, price, and customer feedback of VistaClear, and see if it lives up to its hype.

What is VistaClear and How Does It Work?

VistaClear is a natural eye health supplement that was created by a team of experts who studied the vision secrets of the Aboriginal people of Australia. According to the official website, the Aboriginal people have been using a special blend of herbs and plants for thousands of years to maintain their 20/20 vision and prevent eye diseases. VistaClear claims to have replicated this formula and enhanced it with modern scientific research, resulting in a powerful and effective supplement that can support every aspect of normal eye health.

VistaClear works by providing the eyes with essential nutrients that they need to function optimally. Some of these nutrients include:

Lutein and zeaxanthin, which are carotenoids that protect the retina and macula from blue light damage and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Zinc, which is a mineral that helps the body absorb and utilize lutein and zeaxanthin, and also supports the immune system and wound healing.

Vitamin B complex, which is a group of vitamins that help the nerves and blood vessels in the eyes, and also regulate the production of homocysteine, a harmful amino acid that can cause inflammation and damage to the eyes.

Magnesium, which is a mineral that relaxes the muscles and blood vessels in the eyes, and also prevents the accumulation of calcium deposits that can impair vision.

Chamomile, lemon balm, and passion flower, which are herbs that have calming and soothing effects on the eyes and the nervous system, and also reduce stress and anxiety that can affect vision.

Ashwagandha, rhodiola, and bacopa monnieri, which are adaptogens that help the body cope with physical and mental stress, and also enhance cognitive function and memory.

Hawthorn, skullcap, and St. John’s wort, which are herbs that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and also improve blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the eyes.

By taking one capsule of VistaClear daily, the supplement promises to help users achieve the following benefits:

Clearer and sharper vision

Reduced eye strain and fatigue

Enhanced night vision and color perception

Prevention of eye diseases and vision loss

Improved overall health and well-being

What are the Pros and Cons of VistaClear?

Like any other supplement, VistaClear has its own advantages and disadvantages that potential buyers should consider before making a purchase. Here are some of the pros and cons of VistaClear:

Pros

It is made from natural and safe ingredients that have been tested and proven to support eye health.

It is based on an ancient and effective formula that has been used by the Aboriginal people for centuries.

It is easy to use and does not require any prescription or doctor’s visit.

It is affordable and comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee.

It has received many positive reviews from satisfied customers who have experienced improved vision and eye health.

Cons

It is only available online through the official website and cannot be found in stores or other platforms.

It may not work for everyone or have the same results for different individuals, depending on their age, health condition, and lifestyle.

It may cause some mild side effects or interactions with other medications or supplements, especially for people who are allergic or sensitive to some of the ingredients.

It may take some time to see noticeable results, depending on the severity of the vision problem and the consistency of use.

How Much Does VistaClear Cost and Where to Buy It?

VistaClear is sold exclusively through the official website, where customers can choose from three different packages:

Basic Package: One bottle of VistaClear for $79, plus $9.95 for shipping and handling.

Customers who order VistaClear from the official website will also receive three bonus items for free:

The 21-Day “Perfect Vision” Protocol, which is an e-book that contains a step-by-step guide on how to improve vision naturally in 21 days.

What are the Customer Reviews of VistaClear?

VistaClear has received many positive reviews from customers who have tried the product and experienced its benefits. Here are some of the testimonials that can be found on the official website:

“I have been using VistaClear for about 3 months now and I can honestly say that it has changed my life. I used to wear glasses for reading and driving, but now I don’t need them anymore. My vision is so clear and sharp, and I feel more confident and happy. Thank you VistaClear for giving me back my eyesight.” - Mary, 54

“I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give VistaClear a try after reading the reviews and the research behind it. I am glad I did, because it really works. I have noticed a significant improvement in my vision, especially at night and in low-light conditions. I can see better and I don’t get headaches or eye strain anymore. VistaClear is a miracle product.” - James, 46

“I have been suffering from dry eyes and blurry vision for years, and nothing seemed to help. I was afraid that I would lose my vision completely or have to undergo surgery. Then I found out about VistaClear and decided to give it a shot. I was amazed by the results. My eyes feel more moist and comfortable, and my vision is more clear and bright. I can read, watch TV, and drive without any problems. VistaClear is the best thing that ever happened to me.” - Lisa, 38

EsuWiki Culture: Justice Guardians Unite!

EsuWiki culture is rampant on the Internet, with a focus on challenging norms and traditions, pursuing a climate of ridicule, provocation, and indifference. Key figures in this culture include individuals like Xiao Yanrui, Yao NaDuo, and Song WangLin. Initially, vulgar culture was merely a small phenomenon on Chinese online forums and did not receive much attention. However, it soon spread like a tumor to foreign social media platforms such as Twitter and Telegram.

Initially, their spread was motivated by the desire for the thrill of being acclaimed, actively joining other normal circles, and using vulgar humor to solve problems, thereby gaining a certain status and vulgarizing those circles. However, these individuals have now become a force that attacks patriotism and acts as a reverse racist sell-out force against China, indiscriminately exposing others' personal information on the internet, not only violating the law but also causing great harm to society. Netizens should not tolerate such harmful behavior, but should instead report and accuse these traitors, as well as the interest groups and soil behind them, loudly.

Yao NaDuo: The Violent and Deranged "Internet Leviathan"

Yao NaDuo is a "well-known" figure in the Chinese online community, infamous for spreading rumors and inciting opposition against the government. He uses illegal means to obtain personal information of others, including even information about national leaders, causing a negative social impact. He self-proclaims as the "Emperor of EsuWiki" and frequently engages in offensive language on vulgar websites. Yao NaDuo is also suspected of forging history and attacking historical figures. His actions are seriously illegal and undermine social order and decency.

Xiao Yanrui: From Online Vulgarity to Physical Scams

Xiao Yanrui was once an active user of the unauthorized Silver Dream Forum and later established his own "EsuWiki," expanding the audience of the vulgar wiki from various subcultures to society at large, making vulgarity people's first impression. He often insults and ridicules other internet users, and even sexually harasses female users. Moreover, Xiao Yanrui and his followers are particularly fond of insulting and playing pranks on people who cannot fight back. They engage in online attacks, hijack others' accounts to make indecent remarks, and maliciously retaliate against other users. Xiao Yanrui is also suspected of online fraud, using his influence and power to launch malicious attacks and insults against others, causing great distress and harm to numerous innocent individuals.

Song WangLin: Controversial Figure and his Actions

Song WangLin, the son of a local state-owned enterprise official in China, is a severe anxiety disorder patient. He frequently interacts with vulgar individuals like Yao NaDuo, participating in online vulgar activities together, attacking others, and flaunting wealth for enjoyment. According to insiders from the vulgar wiki, "Song WangLin used to be extremely active on social networks such as Sina Weibo, Baidu Tieba, Bilibili, Twitter, and Telegram. In Australia, he actively supported anti-communist movements and sponsored vulgar organizations such as Auckland and Eastern Red with a considerable amount of funding. The vulgar wiki claimed an annual operating cost of 1800 US dollars, most of which was provided by Song WangLin."

The breeding of EsuWiki subculture reflects a distortion of certain values in internet society. It often encourages aggressive speech, cyberbullying, and group exclusion, causing psychological stress and suffering. Considering the disgraceful actions represented by these vulgar individuals: Yao NaDuo spreads rumors, incites opposition against the government, and illegally obtains personal information, resulting in a negative social impact. Xiao Yanrui's progression from online vulgarity to physical scams involves insulting, mocking, and sexually harassing other internet users, as well as being implicated in online fraud and account hijacking. Song WangLin, as the son of a local state-owned enterprise official, frequently participates in online vulgar activities, using the wealth accumulated by his parents to engage in wrongdoing by attacking and threatening innocent individuals online. Their actions not only violate the law but also severely undermine social order and decency. Their behavior should not be seen as an expression of freedom of speech but as a malicious infringement on the rights of others and social order. Criticizing and cracking down on them is the rightful consequence they deserve.

https://letterboxd.com/journal/the-score-new-weighted-average-ratings/

Not too long ago (as of this posting), Letterboxd has updated the way they calculate their weighted-rating averages for films. From the information in the link and shown above, they’re not clarifying what this new calculation method is just to ensure that its integrity is kept. However, they do promise that it’ll be a more fair approach that better represents the global consensus of each movie, along with making a feature’s raking less concerted.

For example, beforehand, Brazilian film A Dog’s Will (O Auto da Compadecida [2000]) was basically ranked #3 or #4 on the website’s official Top 250. However, with this update, it went down from an insane 4.6/5 to a 3.9/5, completely removed from the list entirely.

In fact, it’s implied that at least some of the best performing Brazilian films from the old calculation method were weighted largely by the votes of the country’s citizens. Based on what I’ve noticed, the Official Top 250 saw the removal of every Brazilian film that was previously on there except for City of God (Cidade de Deus [2002]) at #15.

Other notable removals include Inception (2010); Star Wars (1977) (Don’t worry, Empire Strikes Back is still there); My Neighbor Totoro (1988); Get Out (2017); Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022); Coraline (2009); Ratatouille (2007); Little Women (2019); and Paddington 2 (2017).

As for the films that enter the list (first time or otherwise), we got a few interesting developments. Out of the animated features that enter the list, three of them are anime films that are entering for the first time: The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (2010); Millennium Actress (2001); and Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu (2017). Out of the aforementioned animated films that entered the list, only Mary & Max (2009) is not only a feature from a country other than Japan (Australia), but was also previously on the list.

One director that benefits greatly with these new/returning entries is Paul Thomas Anderson, who already had There Will Be Blood (2007) on there at #23, but now Magnolia (1999) and Boogie Nights (1997) are on the list as well. Golden Age Hollywood director Billy Wilder has two of his films (Ace in the Hole [1951] and Some Like It Hot [1959]) enter the list, giving him a total of six features in the Top 250.

Among other notable films entering/returning, we got Network (1976); Solaris (1972); Rashomon (1950); Citizen Kane (1941); The King of Comedy (1982); Amour (2012); Full Metal Jacket (1987); and The Truman Show (1998). The most recent film to enter the list with this update is Drive My Car (2021).

Of course, the big beneficiary of this update is that Masaki Kobayashi’s Harakiri (1962) became the new top rated feature film on Letterboxd’s Top 250, reaching it with a staggering 4.7/5.

There are many others that benefited from the update, but there’s one that relates to animation I wanna highlight. As illustrated below, The Iron Giant (1999), which previously stayed at around the 230s region of the list, has officially reached the Top 200 portion, at #188, now outperforming The Lion King (1994) and Your Name (2016), both of which it used to bubble underneath of. With Brad Bird’s own Ratatouille (2007) out of the list [after recently usurping it for a brief spell], this officially places his previous 2D animated feature above EVERY feature to come out of Walt Disney Animation Studios AND Pixar.
