Taeyang cheered on by singer Sean's family

Taeyang of Korean idol group Big Bang, who released his solo album "Solar" last week, was recently cheered on by singer Sean and his two children.

Sean, a member of former hip-hop duo Jinusean, posted a picture on his social networking site Cyworld mini-hompy (http://www.cyworld.com/sean1010) Tuesday morning, which he shot when he took his young son and daughter to see the pop idol.

In the photo, the two singers were seen smiling with each carrying a child in their arms.

The father of three had also written some comments below the photo, which started with "To my loving family Taeyang, Ha-rang, Ha-eum."

Sean explained that upon seeing Taeyang perform, his daughter Ha-eum remarked, "Taeyang oppa [a Korean term used by females when referring to older male figures] is cool!" while Ha-rang held up his index finger and said, "Taeyang hyung-a [used by males when referring to older males], the best!"

Born Noh Seung-hwan, Sean debuted as the rapper of hip-hop duo Jinusean, one of the first groups created by Yang Hyun-suk of agency YG Entertainment.

Jinusean released their debut album "Gasoline" in June 1997, which produced two hit singles -- title track "Gasoline" and "Tell Me" featuring Korean pop singer Uhm Jung-hwa. Their last album as a group was "Norabosae," released November 2004.

Taeyang, whose real name is Dong Young-bae, was the first Big Bang member to debut as a solo artist, releasing his first mini-album "HOT" in May 2008. The album produced two hit singles "Prayer" and "Look Only at Me".

He also released two digital singles "Wedding Dress" and "Where U At" last November.
