Seungri Confesses that Big Bang Did Not Get Along Well Last Year

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Big Bang’s Seungri tells it all on Alive Big Bang, about the accidents and how the members came together.

On the SBS special ‘Big Bang Comeback Show – Alive Big Bang’, Seungri stated, “The truth is that last year until we promoted on the song ‘Tonight’, the 5 members of Big Bang did not get along well. I think ‘awkward’ would be a better explanation”.

Seungri continued, “All the members were hungry for individual promotions. We all felt we could do just as well going solo. Taeyang and I, we wanted solo albums. T.O.P wanted to do movies and dramas. G-Dragon had big dreams as a producer”.

Daesung‘s car accident and G-Dragon’s marijuana incident became the magnet that would bring them together again. Seungri added, “We came together thinking Big Bang couldn’t crumble like this. We encouraged each other to press on with renewed energy”.


BB PANDA why you say that?? T_T
It seems that last year incidents brought them back together.

aw how honest. makes me wonder about other groups tbh like how close/not close they are

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

beautiful icon

[missaoki.livejournal.com]

If whatever terrible things that happened last year brought them back together then it's safe to say that whatever happened, happens for a reason.
I'm just super glad that Big Bang is back! :D

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

they do look better than last year though, somehow, even with these hair styles.

[floppykpop.livejournal.com]

they definitely could've made it as five solo acts

and they seem to work better together round of promotions.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

Yup I knew it before I even clicked, spotlight hog(gers) & not enough foundation to go around..yeah Ri it's a hard knock life.
All will be right when Dae's solo is released.

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

hmmm when I read the title, I thought it would be an article about how Daesung's car accident and GD's marijuana incident might have caused some friction between them
but lo and behold! I like how honest he is. But really? 2 years of not promoting as a whole group and they're still greedy for more? Hmmm.
And to be fair to Seungri's 'greed', his solo promotions were probably cut short by BB's comeback, right?

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He started his promos when GTOP's were winding down and right before they released the 4th mini. Which is a shame because his mini alone is so much better than GTOP's entire album.

seungri <333 i want more ri-solo too, but i'm glad they are getting along well again

[anabelstars.livejournal.com]

gaaad how i hate those commercials lol.

[domokuniscute.livejournal.com]

I've noticed that their chemistry has always been slightly different from other groups, more apparent in their recent appearances I feel. Not that they are not close, but more like individually they are very different? I'm not really sure how to express this; just wanted to let this out because I always get this vibe from them.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

To me, they've always kinda felt like 5 soloists doing their own things onstage instead just one group performing together.

[hannahsmeep.livejournal.com]

I am glad they are honest and forthcoming, instead of pretending that they are best buds all the time. They may not be best friends but its evident from the way they interact with each other, that they have genuine affection for each other. As much as i enjoy their solo work, i sincerely hope big bang will last another 5 years :D

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Not shocked tbh. I never got the impression BB were super close to begin with. Taeyang and GD perhaps or even GD and Top, but as a cohesive group I always felt they were just good business partners.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

I never considered them to be bffs anyway. Would love to get more deets on the relationships between members of groups. lol I bet some hate each other.

And they're better off solo tbh. This comeback sucked, give me the solo projects already.

[bumie.livejournal.com]

I feel they are getting along better but still don't think they are "close"

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

There's a lack harmony, honestly I'd be surprised if there wasn't tension in BB. GD doing so well, doing all the composing, giving himself the lines etc. THe other members probably do get pissed at the pixie. But its really best to talk through issues, it's better that they're getting along now.

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

ia. As much as I loved GD's solo and some of the songs he's composed for BB, I can't stand how many lines he gives himself. Like, you have 3 perfectly capable vocalists in BB, use them.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

everything he said makes me want to stan bigbang more (okay, just seungri).

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Give BB Panda all the love. He's a panda he deserves it.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I think in all those groups there are some people who are friends and everyone else is just there. Like Eunjung gets on with everyone but is closest to Hyomin and Jiyeon (her predebut pics were all with Jiyeon), Qri and Boram are close, but Soyeon and Hwayoung I can't really tell. I've always got the impression Soyeon doesn't really care for them and wants to go solo, and I think Hwayoung likes everyone but her affections aren't really appreciated? After School again have Lizzy/Nana, and a few are close with Kahi, but otherwise? With 4minute, I've got the opinion that only Hyuna and Sohyun are close, and Jihyun is the glue that holds them together. Gayoon always seems to me like she'd rather be on her own or with BEAST, and I don't know for Jiyoon.

[prdarkstar.livejournal.com]

They did say last year, i think it was Seungri, that they were having arguments during the making of Tonight. And that they had been apart doing their own thing for so long that coming back together was hard.

I do think some members are really close but really, it's hard to say for sure what goes on in their lives and relationships,

[unlickdbearwhlp.livejournal.com]

Idols saying they're like a "family" doesn't have to be bullshit/lies. I'm "close" to mine, in the sense that we're in each others' drama, and sometimes forced to deal with each other out of necessity/self-preservation (ie my hated cousin crashes here once in a while so as not to be homeless), but I can't stand not a one of 'em. If we met on the street, we would not be friends.

I wouldn't expect people who were thrown together for business to be besties, but they have to have some kind of bond, after half a decade plus together (up under each other, in a cramped ass dorm for some of that time). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tense bonds, sure.

ETA: I thought BB was the least family-like, and least likely to be friends (YB/GD excluded). I'm constantly surprised when they talk about going out together. TOP especially seemed like he'd hang out with a different crew (and that's what I used to hear, that he was the closest to his pre-fame friends).

[naturalhonee.livejournal.com]

GD is one of TOP's pre-fame friends. GD & TOP are very close. they share the same interests/sense of humor and the 2 of them seem to have a ton of inside jokes.
GD & YB are very close as well, but more of an opposites attract kind of way

[evivante.livejournal.com]

Wow. forxreal was right. Dang.

[jaerotic.livejournal.com]

exactly what was on my mind. :)) the 5-member group who couldn't even share rooms?

[lucyownsjoaquin.livejournal.com]

i get this feeling with beast sometimes.

[uglypricetag.livejournal.com]

eh really? among the many idol groups, they're the one group that seems genuinely close, imo

[thewarpedmelody.livejournal.com]

I always have the feel of a 3-2 separation in BB. Its like GD-TOP-TaeYang with Daesung-SeungRi

[nimco.livejournal.com]

I feel like its GD/Taeyang/Seungri with TOP-Daesung. Cause on Come To Play Seungri said TOP and Taeyang have fights and don't get along.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I wonder which groups are as close as they appear to be on camera. Mblaq and Infinite seem to have a good relationship with one another.

[twinkystar16.livejournal.com]

ft island..they're like real brothers
you can see the closeness from their interactions

[o13blackcats.livejournal.com]

OMONA! Tell me all the dirty secrets/rumors you've heard about other kpop groups not getting along or fighting (or just generally not liking each other)!

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

This. I'm still clueless as to why Taeyeon supposedly hates Jessica.

[crinkledpaper.livejournal.com]

You can honestly see and hear the difference in their relationships (with each other and the music) this time around vs Tonight promos. Their hearts weren't in Tonight/Love Song and you could tell. This comeback is full of feeling and you get the sense they actually care now.
