Korean boy band Big Bang member Taeyang has uploaded several photographs of himself traveling in Las Vegas on his official Twitter account (http://twitter.com/Realtaeyang).

In the pictures posted on Monday, the idol star was seen posing next to a man dressed up as "The Simpsons" character Homer Simpson, while another photo revealed the singer walking in the city with a comment underneath saying, "Las Vegas - flashy city, full of crazy people."

Fans who have seen the photographs responded, "It seems like you're having lots of fun on your trip!" "Is that your new friend?" and "What will you be shopping for?"

"Taeyang is currently receiving dance lessons and enjoying his vacation in the United States. He will be returning back to Korea either next week or at the end of January," a PR official YG Entertainment told 10Asia over the phone on Monday.

Born Dong Young-bae, Taeyang is the first Big Bang member to debut as a solo artist, producing several hit songs including "Prayer," "Look Only At Me" and "Wedding Dress." He released his first full-length album "Solar" in July 2010 which topped various online and offline music sites.

As a group, Big Bang will unveil their new album on February 24 and hold their annual "BIG SHOW" at the Gymnastics Stadium of the Olympic Park in Seoul from February 25 to 27.
