BIGBANG | 'FANTASTIC BABY', 'LOSER', 'SOBER', 'BAE BAE' MV's REACTION | What do I even say??

[@edvixas]

GD is the first idol to start producing songs for his group, he made it normal, so all of the BB songs that you listen are written by GD mostly, T.O.P usually writes his own parts but GD is the main composer/producer of the group

[@yhuynh1491]

Even Trot songs too, kind of Korean traditional song, GD wrote only 2 trot songs for DaeSung from 2008 to 2009, sr I don't remember exactly when but with only 2 trot songs , BigBang is Kings 😂 It's A BIG HIT and LOOK AT ME, GWISUN 😎

[@rothchristina347]

yes

[@bigbangtaeyang6908]

T.O.P writes all of his parts

[@metroglode1305]

Big Bang made it a norm to write and produce their own music and more than that they had a LOT of creative control from concept to fashion etc. Crazy how much they’ve shaped the whole kpop industry.

[@emjaytandingan9975]

All of them produces songs esp on their first album

[@dongtra3011]

"ooh who is this? i like him a lot" YESSS BECAUSE IT IS FREAKING G-DRAGON, the KING himself!!!!

[@leiyavns]

☉BAE BAE MV explanation: BAE BAE is indeed sexual but it also shows different phases of a person's life. 🔼 First, GD represents puberty, where this boy is curious about opposite sex. He is surrounded by so many females but they are all mannequins which shows he is interested in girls but he's too shy or he doesn't dare to talk to/approach them for real. The angel shows his innocence of being young/his spiritual side but he has this hidden side too. 🔼 Taeyang represents the next stage a bit mature where he is so lonely in the beginning(alone on the horse) but finds his special one and is in love now. . 🔼T.O.P's part is all about making love and of course having kids in other words getting married and having family. 🔼Daesung's part represents the phase of life where the person is satisfied with being with the love of his life and living happily with her. 🔼 Seungri's part represents growing old together (both Ri and his partner has white hair). He is afraid to lose (melting flower) her but as you can see she disappeared and all the members fall slowly which means death. 🔼Now there is a Korean folk tale that an immortal rabbit pounds rice on the moon to make rice cake. So the lyrics our chemistry is like sticky rice cake (chapssalteok chapssalteok gunghabi uri uri gunghabi) represents the eternal love and togetherness even after death. They are enjoying their after life with their partners on moon. Also tear drop, burning windmill, their sad faces has deeper meaning as failed relationship or the hurt they received or mistakes they made when they were in a relationship. [Credit comment by Aashna PS]

[@NanieTeisha]

Thank you for the interpretation, it's really interesting but I must say I have some doubts about some of your explanation. First, like you said the song is clearly sexual. The 19 at the beginning while there are no sex scenes is here to remember that fact. So for top part, I think weird the getting married idea, I mean top is in a cavity full of flowers and in French we talk about being I don't know how to say it in English but it's like take the flower of a woman. when she makes love for the first time a woman loose her hymen. So the set of top part makes me think at the first sex-time. OK there is a baby at the end but it makes me think more at "sex has consequences" than getting married. Or it would be getting married because of a pregnancy. And as I know the rice cake can be also a sexual metaphor for an unbridled sexuality. Yes, they are on the moon but the women are in kisaeng clothes and the reason why men visit kisaeng it's not for eternal love but more for having an unbridled sexuality. And there is the two rice cakes that have a collision + the white seeds that spread+ their faces when they fly.... personally all of this don't give me eternal love vibes. I don't tell that I'm right, just what I feel when I see the mv. And I'm wondering why a sexual song with lyrics about selfishness desire to keep the beauty of a moment should have a mv who talks about eternal love? It's a bit disturbing way of thinking to me, like an extrapolation for avoiding thinking about the fact that they are men too and can have sexual desire without love like any other human being on the earth. I don't mean that's what you said or think, and I don't think so. Again, I just wanted to say what I feel about this interpretation. I hope my English is not too bad. Have a nice night

[@leiyavns]

@@NanieTeisha yes you are right. But like i said at the beginning BAE BAE is indeed sexual but it also shows different phases of a person's life. I just want to show other meaning/other side of the mv not only on sexual aspect😊 But you make it perfect with your explanation about sexuality aspect in this mv👍❤ (Psstt i just dont want talk about sex haha but i do know this song has a lot of sex metaphor & reference )

[@itsarya9656]

Now that i think about it.. most of big bang mv have a story behind them.. interestingg!!

[@NanieTeisha]

@@leiyavns and I thank you for showing other aspect. I mean it, and I know you're right too. But like I said it's a bit disturbing to me, maybe because I'm older and I'm a bit tired by the romanticization in all the media. Like they are afraid that if girls don't see romantism, they won't want wedding and children... Have a Nice day 😊

[@bigbangtaeyang6908]

Do you have the Fantastic Baby explanation too? Because that MV has a deeper meaning just that I don’t have much time to write an explanation 😂

[@laceylee9695]

Rice cakes are made by pounding them. Its euphemism for sex. What you were thinking about TOP squirting milky substance is spot on. Result = baby Bae Bae is stages of love and relationships GD: fresh and new Taeyang: close and ready TOP: marriage and baby carriage Daesung: old age and retirement Seungri: death

[@bereb.6790]

I would suggest to do a video with ballads. One of their best is Haru Haru, We Belong Together. I suggest Blue, Let's not fall in love, Tell me Good Bye, My Heaven, Last dance, If you.

[@samanehrst]

BigBang was the first Kpop Idol who produce their song. Loser is a beautiful and sad song, especially when they said it was about their experience and when GD talked about his depression or TOP said about his suicide attempt.

[@OfficialAwkbe]

TOP hadn't tried to k*ll himself (that we know of) back when LOSER dropped even though he struggled with his mental health back then. It was after he left for the military when the attempt happened and he thankfully survived. His verses in LOSER more so discuss his difficulty in maintaining relationships given his discomfort of people getting too close to him and what he calls his selfishness; so when the woman looks under the cloth she's gotten too close and seen too much so he destroys that relationship and ends up alone.

[@starlicense]

Not really the first. Seotaiji wrote and produced his band's music since they came out. GD co-wrote a lot of stuff.

@Starli Cense not sure where you got the news that Top was hospitalized due to overdose in 2008. He has been struggling w depression ever since he was young but he didnt have any overdose incident in 2008. In fact he didnt have a lot of scandals until 2017 compared to other members. He even said that in his interview with Radio Star. It was only in 2017 when he overdosed with prescribed anti-depression pills after his marijuana scandal to which he admitted recently that he tried to committ suicide. This is the only confirmed case. Others were just rumors. GD wrote and co produced most of their discography with TOP writing his own rap parts, TOP and Taeyang were also credited for co-composing some of their songs.

[@leiyavns]

Rj you have no idea how BIGBANG destroyed the music industry with Fantastic Baby, Bang Bang Bang and Loser when it first came out. I'm so grateful I've been enjoying being a fan since then.

[@leiyavns]

🍺SOBER MV Explanation: Sober tells the story of a person who runs away from his problems in life with alcohol and fantasies. hate being sober. 🔼G-Dragon seems to be building his own fantasy world. 'smoke' means 'dream' or 'fantasy'. G-Dragon also imagined fantasizing about having a beautiful girlfriend as the men in the scene wanted. his life is just pathetic. 🔼Bunch of papers which is symbolizing 'money' in the MV. Through the scene Seungri portrayed someone who is actually obsessed with wealth that he dreams of buying everything and spend all the money he could. on the board in the mv it says 'joy', 'pride', 'lust', 'joy' which money can buy but the lyrics say otherwise. 🔼Taeyang in the bathroom of smoke which implies the condition of someone who is lulled by their overdose fantasies. Taeyang is trapped by his fantasies and his own thoughts that he can't stand. in the scene he chokes on excessive smoke (dreams) making it difficult to breathe. 🔼in T.O.P's part He is portrayed as someone who put a faith in his dream even though it is considered 'childish' to people around him. 🔼Daesung play as someone who is tired and sick of the job and life. He then run away from the stress by dreaming. 🔼The 'DREAMS' sign on the last scene symbolized the dream that we are aiming for and to achieve we will need to process in the right way as like it is symbolized by the 'One Way' sign in the scene. after achieving the dream and goal we set don't be afraid to set another goal and run for it. Just to keep in mind that you have to do it in the right way.

[@leiyavns]

"Kings. Sitting in the thrones as they should be." The one i really like the best about Bigbang is their versatility. That's why i stayed loyal as a VIP

[@ID_iKONIC_VIP]

For Loser, Daesung's part was so sad.... when he said he became weary of people's eyes.... he used to be loved by the masses and was on a lot of variety shows... but one day after he got in a terrible car accident he started getting death threats and he chose to stay out of the publics eyes.... withdrew from all shows and public appearances... and had to fight to live and not be grappled with guilt and being unworthy of living. To this day he doesn't drive anymore and has been living a very quiet, secluded life. Before he was the Smile Boy and very witty and funny and everyone loved him.

Just be aware that they always use Korean idioms that is difficult to translate to English. Anyway, if you checkout their discography, G Dragon writes 95% if not all of their songs, so it is really relatable. From writing, composing & arranging, he is so involved with it. 👑

That whole “This company has X. That company has Y etc.” They’re referring to this era of k-pop. No one was doing MVs like YG and BIGBANG. Everyone else was shooting in studios while YG was shooting cinematic MVs on location. Everything was a whole ass spectacle. BB stages are also insane and not so choreo oriented like other bgs. They just fill the stage with their presence. Sometimes TOP would just not do any of the choreo, and no one would write articles about how he wasn’t hardworking lmao. ‘Loser’ is about their lives as these huge celebrities. Having all these people looking up to them when their personal lives are falling apart. Even though they definitely broke the idol mould and got away with somethings that would’ve gotten other idols in hot water, their lives were definitely not wholly theirs to live as they pleased without there being huge public backlash. GD was in the entertainment business since was 6 years old. He spent 5 years training at SM before going to YG. Even BB’s time leading up to their debut was documented for TV. It can’t be easy for them to maintain healthy personal lives when so much is intertwined with their public personas.

[@christinab1288]

Few sets of facts: G-Dragon has had every hair color/style you can ever imagine (some I love and some...) G-Dragon started as a trainee at 8 and he spent almost every day writing songs in some way, that was part of his training Bigbang do indeed write their own music, I suggest checking out solo stuff as well. You want a list I can give you one. The members of Bigbang were the first to do both group and solo stuff, before them, people left their group if they were going to go solo. Taeyang seems to not really like shirts, and T.O.P is always fully dressed (there was a drama he was in however...) because he was self conscious about his weight as he was rejected by YG initially for that reason. The lyrics in Loser were written by each member for their verse and are super personal. As many have stated, live performances are where it is at for this group. Charisma off the charts. Most 3rd and 4th gen idols have members of Bigbang as their idols. Their has been lots of freedom for this group unlike many others and sometimes that is good and sometimes that is not so good. I feel that they don't really hide their true personalities, but that means they get hurt a lot by comments and certainly criticized for mistakes. I think they are just human. Little nervous for this comeback because I have waited so long. I cannot tell you how many times I have listened to the MADE album. The earlier MVs are lower quality, but the songs hold up. Lies, Blue, Haru Haru and Tonight will be favorites forever. No one asked but T.O.P is the bias

[@milindawilson9175]

The MV for "Bae Bae" is all about sexual innuendo. Most of what you saw happening was a tounge and cheek reference to something sexual. Like I said before, BigBang is much more adult than the average Kpop group and they aren't afraid to cover topics that often make people cringe or blush, or can make the general public uncomfortable, etc.

[@krstnsndart]

At 12:17, when Taeyang threw the cross that had “Sin Will Find You” written on it, and then he jumped and then the cross hit the ground and it broke, the part that was broken says “WILL” 😭😭😭 it gave me goosebumps when I first realized it.

[@luzitea1178]

yeah it's them doing this. GD (the leader, the one you like) is a fashionista, has his own label, has been invited as special guest by every big international designer even before gangam style was a thing. He's the creative head behind almost all shit bigbang do :D (also writing, producing). While he was in the military (i.e. not releasing anything), he still topped the chart of most earnings from royalties in that year, he's that huge.

[@leiyavns]

The best Bigbang live is on Awards Show and on their own concert🔥 Music show like inkigayo or Mcountdown is good but Bigbang on their own stage is more insane

[@10sure-bang]

My confession as a VIP is that I didn't like Fantastic Baby when I first heard it and I couldn't find the connection between the song title (Fantastic Baby) and the concept of the MV (music reigns). But when I learned more about GD and his lyricism, it all fell into place. He can make opposite ends of the world meet with his lyricism. GDragon wrote most part of all the songs you have reacted to so far. TOP writes his own parts and Taeyang has contribution in some songs. GD also had 2 solo full album releases aside from Bigbang's.

I think Loser is one of my favourite Bigbang songs! Bigbang didn't come out with music that often for being kpop so i was already super emotional when they finally came back with this album but I really resonated with this song at the time it came out. I believe it was Taeyang, GD and TOP who wrote this song. I also totally agree with what you said about being an idol and how they have to be perfect all the time. It must be a lonely life for most of them.

[@duckie1996]

I remember when FANTASTIC BABY came out, the Korean public were shocked because it was the first song with that type of sound. Kpop was completely different at the time. And it's still a bop to this day. BIGBANG were the first group to write, produce, and come up with their own style and concepts, which is why other idols look up to them. LOSER story line is based off their own personal lives/ struggles. 😭

[@multifandomchica4life397]

The best I can describe BB to someone who's new to kpop is that they made the weird and unusual "normal" and also a part of their storyline. They incorporated visuals that were so unexpected and unique in their mvs which made the viewer not want to look away.. *They hooked you with visuals, moved you with the lyrics and made you happy with their energy..* Style icons, artist but at the end of the day, humans just like the rest of us..Big Bang made me embrace my weird..😁

[@lilithofnod]

There have been several essays written about the meaning of Loser. This is just one interpretation. I prefer the one that delves into the idea that each scene represents real events and fears that plague the individual members. GD being alone, T.O.P harming others or himself, Seungri being cheated on or falling for the wrong girl, Taeyang committing a sin (that's his real dog that passed away in the mv), and Daesung being attacked by the public (pertaining to his tragic car accident). GD's version tackles the very real feeling of being a performer and onstage being loved by thousands/millions and the severe depression that follows that when you're all alone in your hotel room. This has led many to self-harm, switchblade or violence, destroying the hotel room, baseball bat, and even suicide, bathtub scene, which is followed by GD, ghostlike, wandering the streets - even laying down on the street - but no one sees him anymore. They all could be perceived as having committed suicide (Korea #1 in the world for suicides). T.O.P is covered in blood in the alley, his own?,Taeyang jumps off the roof and Daesung starts a fight he can't win and is seen being beaten at the end....are they all dead in the end? T.O.P is wearing a jacket with a skull on the back. Taeyang has even talked about getting hurt irl flinging himself off the building and landing on the pads wrong, so that one is definitely meant as a suicide. That's just one of the darker interpretations. Art is all about how the audience perceives it, and in this case, LOSER, like most great art has many interpretations. The amazing thing is everyone responded to this song as a very personal song. Check out the MAMA 2015 performance (LEGENDARY) of Loser, Bae Bae, and Bang Bang Bang. The audience knows every single word of LOSER for a reason. I'll only add a quick note on Bae Bae that "sticky" is a term used a lot in Korea as a metaphor. Rap styles are even described as sticky. So the sticky rice cakes are also a form of sexual innuendo.

React to BIGBANG and 2NE1 "Lollipop" and then react to 2NE1 "I am the Best", "Comeback Home", "Fire" and "I love you" they're well respected that yg had before even when they disbanded their songs are still on fire 🔥

[@00cupcake]

I really enjoy when non/new fans reacting to Big Bang MVs. I can feel the confusion when they're questioning whats going on in the MV 😄. Esp on Bae Bae, Zutter, Sober MVs. I really love your reaction & hope to see more Big Bang contents on your channel. 😊

[@katdono6168]

The one you kept saying that you liked his voice was Taeyang, and his solo stuff is amazing! I personally like all of his songs but I think one of his best is Eyes, Nose, Lips, would definitely recommend!

[@mbrow]

Fantastic Baby was my introduction to BigBang. Loved their aesthetic and freaky-azz videos. No one else like them!

[@saramiiaaa2450]

Bigbang is truly a king of k-pop. No one can beat them in stage presence alone. I suggest you watch their live stages especially on MAMA.

[@souljourney60]

Taeyang's singing takes you to another place. His solo White Knight album is amazing. Here is a link to a clip of him live during his 2017 White Knight tour. Watch on a Big Screen with surround sound and you won't be disappointed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qV7aaYB5YpWWsKs

I understand why you cut the lyric videos, but I just wanted to say I wouldn’t mind if you kept them in and made this video longer and I’m sure a lot of other people wouldn’t mind either because as fans we can never have too many reactions to the same song lol. I really appreciate you taking the time though to watch the lyrics right after the song especially since BigBang has a lot of meaning/messages in their lyrics and a lot of them have to do with personal experience or struggles. I just started your video, but want to once again say Thank you for reacting to all these songs and hope you continue with them and their solo stuff. I’m excited to watch your reaction now 🥰 Edit: G-Dragon was the first one in Fantastic Baby that you ask who was it because you liked him

[@iamxyrcyll1283]

Agree! I would love to see your reactions to MV, lyric video & live performance. Even if it’s an hour long, I wouldn’t mind it.

[@leiyavns]

1:12 Rj, we love watching long reaction video about BIGBANG

[@meliameliala7839]

I hope you watch the live performances... they're insane :)

[@camilasilveira1818]

BB music is so real... I love them!!!

[@lazerx1828]

Dude, you NEED to watch this iconic live, triple-threat concert performance of BANG BANG BANG/FANTASTIC BABY/SOBER from their 10th Anniversary Tour. Their energy will blow you away, plus the venue is Huge, they have a live band and the audience was given color-changing LED bracelets that were controlled by the lighting director, making them part of the light show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaaXeIyMhtieiq8

[@allons_y1001]

Taeyang is so damn fine. I can't wait to see your reaction to Eyes, Nose, Lips. 🤪 He channeled some serious D'Angelo vibes in that one. Now that you've heard BangBangBang and Fantastic Baby... I suggest watching (on your own time probably) this video of Taeyang and Daesung performing the two songs while in the military. It's pretty impressive how even though it's just two of them, they are still fully in command and deliver a great performance... just solid professionals at their craft, the crowd was so hype and the guys look AMAZING in uniform. And ngl, I came away from this one with a little crush on Daesung. 🤭 181009 Taeyang/Daesung, BANGBANGBANG+FANTASTIC BABY @ JISANGGUN FESTIVAL(마지막날ㅠㅠ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYarf4BrqdimgLs Also, I am absolutely convinced that TOP, SJ's Donghae and NCT's Jeno are related in another universe. That bone structure... 😍

[@ygstan2433]

They can sing different genre. They really kill it. Please check their live performances for sure you will know why they called king of KPOP. As a vip, thank you for checking out BigBang' s mv. Looking forward for your next reaction videos to BigBang!

[@jumitsu]

I love the crazy creativity of the MVs and the incredibly great lyrics from BIGBANG! This almost unlikely mix is ​​what made them kings! I commented on the first post and I comment again: SHINee and BIGBANG are definitely icons of versatility and both are wonderful in live stages! My suggestions: If You, Tonight, Last Dance, Haru Haru

[@browniemorado]

If you react to 2NE1 it's another world as well, they were created after bigbang and they had the same aura as them, you know, they were from YG too but they already disbanded. They were such an amazing, iconic, talented, baddest-queen-vibe group, they were my first and only favorite girl group! No one can do it how they did! Unique outfits, lyrics and vocals 💜💜

[@virihdz1444]

BIGBANG Kings of Kpop, the idols of your idols

[@asiyahzahra2239]

G-Dragon is the master mind of BIGBANG, he's the main producer of this group

[@chichi3713]

I feel like if there is a bigbang song you don't appreciate on the first listen, their live performance will definitely change your opinion about that certain song. They're just spectacular on stage and I am speaking as an avid listener which says so much about their effect on people.

[@kitkat6150]

Thank you so much for this video. We VIPS really appreciate this. More Bigbang videos in the future especially their live performances 💛

[@Jenniii86]

The BB members are heavily involved in every aspect of a comeback. They (or mostly GD) write and produce the music (first idol group to do so), the styling (they do of course have a stylist, makeup artist and a hairstylist, that they have worked with since their debut in 2006), the MV's, everything. They even pay their conserts form their own pockets and are involved in everything from lights to the stage and every small detail. They made it normal for groups to be involved in their own music and MV's.

[@chillndy.5954]

I really miss 2nd gen so much where they are more freely showing what they want not that now but i just really really want to go back where idols are truly perform with happiness and natural. Or is it just me😭🥺

[@jikyusoulmates]

Im laughing i love your reaction so much, love how your very expressive through your facial reaction. The roller coaster ride you went through from fantastic baby to loser to sober then to bae bae. Your reactions with the Bae Bae MV lmao i get you, its okay, ive watched this mv tons of time and i get still weirded out whenever watching this. Yes, RJ, thats Bigbang for you 🤣🤣 they got you mind blown in all aspects. musicality? Vocals and rapping? lyrics? MV visuals? fashion sense? Overall concept? Name it. They got you. And just when you thought you've seen it all. They will still surprise you every time. Im telling you though you aint see nothing yet until you see their live performances!! This series makes me so happy. Feels like im going back to that time I first discovered them. Imagine entering the world of kpop through them, they've set the bars way too high.

[@ABBY-sf3ei]

For me sober is actually pertaining to depression. That line of taeyang always catches me it was the first pre-chorus “hey doctor doctor please save me” and “hear me say”. They want a person to listen and understand them.

[@Ahlade]

Top and GD write all the lyrics. GD also composes all of BIGBANG's music. GD and TOP conceptualise the MVs and TOP guides the visual language of the set design and the album.

[@mashikyukyu8519]

definitely proof why bigbang have always been crowned the kings of kpop, they are trendsetters with so many concepts and genres

[@alvinchew8593]

Big bang live performances is going to blow your mind

[@imskooin7230]

This year so many YG artist gonna make a comeback ( Bigbang, Blackpink, Ikon) And this mont treasure gonna make a first concert online and offline

[@analyalma6520]

G Dragon is a very good composer, producer, singer songwriter, leader, etc. For something BIG Bang are considered the Kings of K pop 🤩🤩

[@tigger7744]

you will appreciate more these songs once you watch their live performances. firsr time i did not like the mv's because its a little bit weird, so i did not appreciate that well eventhough i was vip. after watching the live performance , i returned to these mv's and now i can't stop singing them. eventually love them

[@willforeverlovetreasure3950]

I'm enjoying your reactions to big bang I hope you can check more of their songs. ❤

[@iamxyrcyll1283]

You’re wearing yellow 👑💛

[@thehotcrippled1]

You are adorable. 😊 Yeah, once you see Bigbang it's as if you are being enchanted by them. 💫

[@miguel_94tk78]

T.O.P "Doom dada" 🔥🔥 and GD x Taeyang "good boy" 🔥🔥

[@h.s.4246]

Wow another reaction on Big Bang. Love this. Enjoyed watching it with you. Big Bang musics always change with each album which make them interesting. You gotta respect them for writing their own songs too. TOP wrote his own rap verses too. Each of them are a successful soloist too. You gotta check that out. You can enjoy taeyang voice more too by hearing to his solo songs. Can’t wait for more, thank you.

[@hushiechan]

It's amazing you noticed these about them. They are the first Kpop group to be involved in every aspect of their music...they are a visionary in everything. They are years ahead when it comes to live stages, even fashion. I mean Top's 2016 Valentino jacket is still being worn by Kpop idols until now!

[@jonangee]

Bigbang is pure G Dragon and Taeyang composed . Rap wise is TOP. All YG rappers, even 16 yr. Old Haruto write their own raps. So far, Bigbang, WINNER, AKMU, IKON write and produce their own singsand now Treasure is starting to write their own songs. IKON during BI Era. Nowadays, some producers are helping them. YG in-house producers are envied by many. But hard to pirate since most are also performing artists. Treasure have been blessed to be given songs from their seniors. Like SLOWMOTION was from AKMU Chanyuk. And Wayo of Yedam was from Yoon of WINNER. and now Yedam is the one giving a song to his Senior, his Born to Love You demo shown in TMAP is now WINNER Yoon's single recently.

[@yutari97]

you must to watch live performance.. Bigbang live performance is another level

[@cutealmae]

You definitely need to watch the live version of If You. It's a different level of raw and personal. They didn't even shoot an mv for it cos they wanted people to concentrate on the lyrics and music, them considering it being their saddest song.

[@shauniek]

I would say 90% is all in their creative control... the music, lyrics, clothing, hair and how the m/v is conceptualized by them. They were the first idols to have this much creative control that’s why till now they are not like any other idols.

[@MrJtz31]

I love Taeyang’s voice too!! It’s piercingly beautiful haha idk how to describe it. Maybe you can check out some of his solo songs too, the most popular one is ‘Eyes, nose and lips’

[@annaholmes5232]

Big Bang sings about the good and the bad, the incredible and the ugly. They are not afraid to touch on all subjects. And they often use upbeat songs with sad hidden meanings. Such as sober, which is a song about addiction. Loser which is a song about not liking one self, feeling like a Loser, even somone who seems to have everything.

[@jaehyuklion786]

All of these song really dominate not only music industry but the world, during that time you can hear these anywhere.

[@PAISMOM]

If you, cafe and sober live made tour…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Scones777]

Yes! I was really hoping you would check out Fantastic Baby next! Your reaction to their outfits was so fun to see! 😁 I'm not a VIP but I love many of their songs and I'm happy to see them back after everything! Sober totally makes me nostalgic for the early 2000s!

[@30goals]

Because rice cakes in korean is known for their sound when making them being similar to - you get it lol. And the tone/chant they're using at the end is the tone old rice cake sellers used to sing (like an ice cream van) to call people to buy them.

[@wiinnnn___]

KING OF KPOP V.I.P 👑

[@rrayzy1243]

I ALWAYS LOVE HOW EVERYONE IS ALWAYS SPEECHLESS WHEN IT COMES TO BIGBANG. KINGS.

[@marsyedam1905]

Promise please watch their live performance, it's super littttt

[@May-kf6gl]

BIGBANG has been one of my favorite groups of all the time thank you for reacting to them. I recomend you to listen CAFE it´s my favorite song from them, there´s no oficial video but there are some live videos, this song has a really R&B vibe
