Big Bang Hypes 'ALIVE' with Teaser Portraits, Title Tracks [PHOTOS]

With less than two weeks to go before the release of mini album ALIVE, Korean pop boy band Big Bang has been teasing fans with new photos.

So far, YG Entertainment has released photos of T.O.P., Daesung and the latest, Taeyang, which debuted on Valentine's Day.

The big theme for Big Bang with ALIVE seems to be oxygen masks. Photos of Seungri and G-Dragon are expected to be released in coming weeks.

According to MTVK, Big Bang will be promoting two title tracks, Blue and Bad Boy, off ALIVE, which is scheduled for a Feb. 29 release date.

The new images come just one week after the band announced the first dates for their first world tour, appropriately called ALIVE. The 25-city tour will begin with a 3-night concert on Mar. 2-4 at the Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastic Stadium.

The tour will also be the first major K-Pop partnership for promoter Live Nation.

We are very happy that we are working with YG Entertainment and Big Bang to show [our work] to worldwide K-Pop fans. If this performance is a good starting point for the Korea branch we established last December, we expect it to contribute to the K-Pop fever expansion, Live Nation president Alan Ridgeway said in a statement.

The ALIVE world tour will be directed by Laurieanne Gibson, whose previous work includes Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour and the moves for the hits Poker Face, Judas and Telephone.

Just last week, Big Bang was greeted by a swarm of fans at John F. Kennedy airport. The boys were in New York City to film two music videos, MTVK reports.

ALIVE will have six versions, each with seven new songs. The group's last EP, Tonight, was released nearly one year ago, climbing has high as number three on the US Billboard World Music Chart.
