Big Bang's Seungri transformed into a chef on the Japanese network TBS's 'Sanma's Super Karakuri TV-Men's Cooking', which aired on the 30th. The dish was ttukgalbi. Seungri explained, "The name comes from the fact that the meat is soft like rice cake, it was a fancy dish enjoyed by kings."

Seungri was met with applause in the studio after the impressive feat from pounding the meat and cooking it to making the sauce, all the while with an apron on. The guests who tasted his cooking didn't hide their praise, saying, "It's delicious!"

Seungri is currently doing solo promotions on various entertainment programs in Japan. In November, he is scheduled to start a six-city tour with the other members. With a total of six cities and 15 performances, they are expected to draw in an audience of 720,000.
