Seungri “I didn’t want to be left as Big Bang’s ‘cute maknae”

previous part here.



“My solo album? Hahaha, it’s not a conspiracy with Yang CEO like I said on variety shows.”

Last 2009, Seungri (21, Lee Seung Hyun) came out with solo performances, surprising his fans. Turning into a Seungri that oozed of manliness, he exceeded expectations by having a stage performance that was impressive and talented.

My solo activities weren’t planned. There was this time I sang “U-Go-Girl” with Lee Hyori nuna at MKMF. Yang CEO saw that and I guess he thought ‘It’ll be okay if I put him up on stage alone.”

To promote a solo song which the hyungs haven’t even done. Seungri was so excited. He felt like he had the world at his fingertips.

“G-Dragon hyung said to me for the first time, ‘I’m jealous.’ Hahaha, my ego grew large. And I worked really hard to prepare for it. I didn’t want to be left as Big Bang’s ‘cute maknae.’ Really, I practised like crazy.”

Taking up exercise, he worked to throw away “young Seungri.” He wanted to show an image that wasn’t “Big Bang’s Maknae” but “manly,” and talent as an artist.

“I made my body through a totally sparta-like regimen. For food, I ate mostly Korean food, and I changed the way I spoke, the way I walked, my posture, and the way I looked at people. I wanted to go for a sexy concept. I wanted to have the music video be a little dangerous. Hahaha, Yang CEO also said, “Do it however you want” and gave me freedom to do what I wanted.”

Choreographing for his song himself, he was so happy. It felt like a dream, that he could make the perfect performance he’d imagined in his head.

“I was even more happy because the response was good. It doesn’t matter if I just tried and worked hard. It only means something if the public likes it. The hardest thing is when people show disappoitment. It’s hard because you see this, not because it’s hard physically.”

CLAP CLAP CLAP!

It was totally worth it, V.I bb.
I still can't get the image of his abs out of my head, the giant poster on my wall doesn't help either.
XD

[invalidreality.livejournal.com]

He's too cute, hehe. Even him talking about being serious is cute xD

[prdarkstar.livejournal.com]

ROFL I'm really surprised this whole article isn't about how he choreographed Strong Baby.

You gotta give it up to the boy, he's not afraid to admit he had a big ego during that time. He did the same when Key called him out for being a douche in the HaHaMong show.

[eyryg.livejournal.com]

Key of all people lmfao

[julili.livejournal.com]

who ever said he was a cute maknae?

[mskatness.livejournal.com]

lmao OOZED of manliness is a BIT of a stretch, but he did go through quite a transformation, that's for sure. it cracks me up how his ego actually did grow large during Strong Baby -- I saw the Haha Mong Show clip with Key where Key was all BITCH U DIDN'T EVEN SAY HI and Seungri was like SORRY MY EGO WAS LARGE DURING THAT TIME and oh, just, why is he like this ♥

[luckyredshirt.livejournal.com]

Oh god I love this boy man so much.

[summanaro.livejournal.com]

I'm torn because he is SO the cute maknae but was pretty hot in the strong baby mv.

“My solo album? Hahaha, it’s not a conspiracy with Yang CEO like I said on variety shows.”

Lolz poor Seungri, I think strong heart scarred him a bit with all the huge revelations. XD

And I'm really glad you got to do what you wanted, and yes your body was wonderful during strong baby.

BUT PLEASE TO STILL BE OUR CUTE MAKNAE Y/Y? you have to admit you have an innate ability to be extremely cute

[picklesnjam.livejournal.com]

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

[cristela.livejournal.com]

[lovemixin.livejournal.com]

i love this arrogant-cocky-overconfident guy ♥
SEUNG RIIIII ! <3

[u-niverse.livejournal.com]

love him so much. see, all the things he said that causes misunderstandings are just exaggerated for variety shows.

I changed the way I spoke, the way I walked, my posture, and the way I looked at people.

he really did "grew up", but i wasn't fond of the way he portrayed himself that time haha. he seemed so cold and indifferent and i know he's not like that. i'm glad that phase is over haha. baby Ri can be so kiddish at times lol

[loveariddle-16.livejournal.com]

ahh is no one translating part 8 :'(
