Topp Dogg answer fan questions and reveal their cover of "Love Me Like You Do"
With Topp Dogg’s European showcase tour just around the corner fans are getting anxious as to what they can expect from the group at the concerts in Milan, London and Paris. By using their official YouTube channel, Jazzy Group (the team hosting the European Tour) have asked Topp Dogg to answer questions sent in by fans.
The first video shows B-Joo asking questions to Sangdo about fans visiting Korea, food, and places to visit. Though it seems B-Joo feels Sangdo is being too negative. The boys really show their caring yet comedic side to these interview questions.
Next up B-Joo decides to bother Hansol as he sits in the office quietly. In this video it seems Hansol finds it the best moment to promote how much he loves his fans, and to talk about his love for alternative dance and famous dance groups in Japan. Though things get aggressive when the brotherly love between the two are left in shatters because of B-Joo.
It seems B-Joo has really taken his MC position within these videos pretty seriously, so this time barges into a practice room with members Nakta and Jenissi. Again the subject of food is bought up and Nakta explains his love for pasta and how he can’t wait to try it when on tour. With doe eyes, Jenissi prepares himself to answer a serious question, which ends on a slightly “perverted” note about the colour of his underwear.
For Xero’s interview, it seems as if he was genuinely doing work when B-Joo waltzes in and starts his attack of questions about sleeping habits where they talk about Kidoh – But Xero gets his own back by declaring the worst sleeper in his current dorm is in fact B-Joo. Revenge is so sweet!
Taking things in a new direction, B-Joo makes Hansol join him in annoying Kidoh as he works, though they make a point of picking on him about his hair, calling him “mum”. In this segment Kidoh talks about his deep love for Poland, though things get serious when he starts looking for visa requirements.
We don’t know if there are more videos to come with the members answering fan questions, rest assured that MCM Buzz will update you on anything new. In the meantime, during the run up to the concerts, Jazzy Group revealed that Topp Dogg were working on a special project to commemorate their European tour. This project turned out to be the members performing their own cover version of Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do“. The setting for the video is among statues of the famous landmarks of each of the representative countries on their European showcase tour, giving the video a personal touch for European fans. Be sure to check out the video below.
Something which is shown throughout all of these videos is the excitement the members have for meeting their overseas fans. In return fans are showing their excitement of welcoming Topp Dogg to their country by arranging a special GoFundMe page to create fan items and provide gifts to the members. Plus, Jazzy Group are adding merchandise for the tour available to pre-order on the Jazzy Group Facebook page. There are still some tickets available for each of the venues which you can purchase from The Troxy (London), TicketOne (Milan) and TicketMaster (Paris). Or you can try your luck by entering Topp Dogg’s official competition to win yourself a ticket to their show.
Be sure to show some support for the movement of Korean music within Europe, and of course show your support for the members of Topp Dogg.

Calling all Topp Klass – Are you ready for Topp Dogg in London?
Following the announcement of TOPP DOGG’s first European showcase heading to London this September, we can now confirm that tickets are on sale with an official seating plan available. Back in December 2014 MCM Buzz announced that the Korean boy group would be touring the world with stops in Japan, Houston, Florida, Atlanta, South East Asia and Europe. It wasn’t long till our good friends at Jazzy Group US noted Topp Dogg’s popularity within Europe and decided to host the group’s first ever European showcase.
Consisting of twelve members – B-Joo, Hojoon, P-Goon, Yano, Nakta, A-Tom, Xero, Jenissi, Sangdo, Hansol, Kidoh, and Gohn (with a sub unit with the name “Under Dogg” consisting of Jiwon, Hyeontae, Andy A47, Jaehoon and former Topp Dogg member Seogoong) they were formed by Stardom Entertainment and debuted in 2013 with the song Follow Me from their debut album, Dogg’s Out. They also released a complex dance choreography video of Follow Me, showing the amount of work and effort they put into their performances.
Topp Dogg have embraced a lot of fan interest since the very beginning of their debut which allowed the group to successfully enter into the Korean music industry, leading to multiple repackaged albums and several releases. Known for their powerful dance routines, charismatic on-stage performances and extremely catchy songs, Topp Dogg have become one of the quickest rising idol rookie groups of the K-pop genre.
Hopefully the fans are as excited about the announcement of the group coming to London, Milan and Paris for their very first showcase tour. Topp Dogg hope to fulfill the wishes of the many European Topp Klass (Topp Dogg Fan Name), practicing extremely hard and putting on a show that is sure to leave them with a beautiful and fun memory. They would also like to reach out to K-pop fans, inviting them to join in the fun and games and enjoy the party atmosphere that will be held at the showcases.

The Terminator Is Back – As Are Die Hard, Hannah And Her Sisters and Sleeper on Remastered Blu-ray
Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection, Hannah And Her Sisters, Sleeper and a remastered Terminator all coming to Blu-ray in the US…
20th Century Fox has announced new treats for US Blu-ray owners, with high-definition versions of four classic films arriving early in 2013.
Woody Allen’s Hannah And Her Sisters and Sleeper have both been given a polish, although as with DVD releases the director doesn’t believe in adding bonus features. Even so, cleaned up prints of both of these films should look amazing.
Two action heroes also get a scrub (or should that be a bed bath given their ages now?), as the Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection comes to Blu-ray and James Cameron’s The Terminator is remastered for the HD format.
Die Hard celebrates 25 years of Bruce Willis playing John McClane with a five-disc collection featuring the first four Die Hard films and an all-new bonus disc, ‘Decoding Die Hard’.
Hannah And Her Sisters and Sleeper are both released on 15 January, 2013, Die Hard follows on 29 January, 2013, while The Terminator is released on 19 February, 2013. Pre-orders for the two Woody Allen films start tomorrow, with Die Hard available to be reserved from 19 December, 2012 and The Terminator on pre-order from 9 January, 2013.
The full details of each title are below…
Hannah And Her Sisters Blu-ray
The eldest daughter of show-biz parents, Hannah (Mia Farrow) is a devoted wife, loving mother and successful actress. A loyal supporter of her two aimless sisters Lee (Barbara Hershey) and Holly (Dianne Wiest), she’s also the emotional backbone of a family that seems to resent her stability almost as much as they depend on it. But when Hannah’s perfect world is quietly sabotaged by sibling rivalry, she finally begins to see that she’s as lost as everyone else, and in order to find herself, she’ll have to choose – between the independence her family can’t live with… and the family she can’t live without.

When cryogenically preserved Miles Monroe (Allen) is awakened 200 years after a hospital mishap, he discovers the future’s not so bright: all women are frigid, all men are impotent, and the world is ruled by an evil dictator…a disembodied nose! Pursued by the secret police and recruited by anti-government rebels with a plan to kidnap the dictator’s snout before it can be cloned, Miles falls for the beautiful – but untalented – poet Luna (Keaton). But when Miles is captured and reprogrammed by the government – to believe he’s Miss America! – it’s up to Luna to save Miles, lead the rebels, and cut off the nose…just to spite its face.

It’s Treat and Treat from Hotel Transylvania Director Genndy Tartakovsky
New animated short Goodnight, Mr. Foot airing in US cinemas alongside the main feature…
Hotel Transylvania is adding a new animated short at some of its US screenings as a special Halloween treat for fans.
Beginning 26 October, 2012, all digital showings of Hotel Transylvania in Regal Entertainment Group Cinemas around the country will be preceded with a new traditionally animated short also directed by Genndy Tartakovsky.
Tartakovsky, 13-time Emmy nominee (and three-time Emmy winner) is well known by animation fans for his work on shows such as Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars and Dexter’s Laboratory. The Hotel Transylvania director also animated every key frame of the new short.
“After we finished Hotel Transylvania I got an itch to animate!” Tartakovsky revealed. “Taking inspiration from my favourite directors Bob Clampett, Tex Avery and Chuck Jones, I animated a short cartoon in the traditional 2D style. It was difficult and exhilarating all at once.”
Entitled Goodnight, Mr. Foot, the short stars none other than the legendary monster Bigfoot, and follows his adventure as he, too, checks into Dracula’s five-stake resort in search of a little R-and-R, only to find himself faced with an enthusiastic witch-maid, eager to make Mr. Foot’s stay a memorable one.
As a second treat – no tricks here – an exclusive new collectible one-sheet poster (also designed by Tartakovsk) will also be given away at all showings of Hotel Transylvania in Carmike Cinemas, while supplies last.
Tartakovsky’s feature film debut has proved to be a huge success, becoming the biggest September opening for any film in US history and the best opening ever for the Sony Pictures Animation studio.
Hotel Transylvania also opened at number one in many other territories around the world, including Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa and Sweden.
