JYJ‘s Jaejoong
has been gaining attention for an appearance in an Italian magazine —
but what’s really been getting fans talking is the comparison that’s
been made between the Korean idol and English actor Robert Pattinson!
A photo of the magazine feature has been circulating on an online
community as of late, featuring a photo of Jaejoong back in the Mirotic days, showcasing his solid abs.

Jaejoong as a man of the best beauty.
Netizens replied with, “Italy knows Kim Jaejoong? That’s great“, “A face known in foreign countries“, “Why is Jaejoong’s photo really big“, and “Of course, Kim Jaejoong! He appeared in a French magazine, and now even an Italian one?“.

During this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards, MTV kept track of which
artists were creating ‘buzz’ on Twitter and with the paparazzi. Not
only did Big Bang just win Best Worldwide Act award, but the group proved to be the most tweeted artists throughout the evening, coming in at #1 on the 2011 MTV EMAs Twitter Tracker.
They also managed to work their way to #2 in Paparazzi Buzz, a
category tracking the number of retweets made for celebrities’ official
red carpet photos on Twitter.
MTV asked, “Which EMA stars are you tweeting about? Get the buzz on who’s trending right this second!”, and tonight, that answer was Big Bang. Over the course of the three hours of festivities, Big Bang, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez each battled for overall top spot.
Roughly midway through the event, Big Bang fans were able place the
beloved quintet at #1 on the tracker. However, shortly before their
victory was announced, Big Bang made it to the #1 position overall where
they have stayed since then. It looks the years of practice to get
birthday and anniversary tags to trend on Twitter have paid off big for
VIPs.
Prior to their win, Big Bang was interviewd by Western media on the
red carpet. Taeyang stated, “I grew up with MTV, they were always
showing us alot of musiv videos and music information.” When asked who
he was most interested in seeing, G-Dragon named Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga. Check out the full interview beloa.
Thanks to the surprisingly fast work of fans, there is now an English
subbed version of Big Bang’s acceptance speech. View it below.
Finally, here are a some pictures from the red carpet and during
their win. Fans were excited to see all the memebrs smiling brightly,
there is even one with Big Bang and 2011 Global Icon Award winner, Queen!
Given the ups and downs for Big Bang over this past year, with this
kind of international recognition, what do you think the future holds
for this them?
