DiZcover: BANG YONGGUK (I Remember, YAMAZAKI, UP) / REACTION

[@soloscape3]

Bang yongguk is definitely an underrated producer/lyricist and rapper, Zelo (who was also in B.A.P) is also really good with rap and dancing, for me those two were the most underrated rappers in kpop. Also, B.A.P were one of the firsts kpop groups to show things like violence, guns and blood in their music videos and touch on really heavy topics not only in their MVs but in the lyrics of their songs and we have to thank Yongguk for that

Thank you that you reacted to Yongguk, I don‘t see it often that pepole react to him. I would love to see a reaction to B.A.P

Good reaction! I personally absolutely love his full album called 'Bang Yongguk', has a different vibe as the songs you listened to. I'll recommend 'Codex Gigas', 'Journey' (has MV) and 'See you later', all b-side tracks

BAP debuted back in 2012 and for many they were quite a iconic boy group that addressed and spoke up on social issues such as crime,police brutality and mental health in both their lyrics and music videos BAP were a very loved group with a huge fan base and very powerful leader Bang Yong Guk cause sadly BAP were signed TS ent TS ent is a company that was founded in the late 2000s and it had a very bad reputation The company had always been in debt so they just decided to not pay their artists as well as physically and mentally abusing the artists and taking advantage of their underage artists BAP was forced to perform during the times that they had been hospitalised and the group would go on 3 World tours within the same year The company would never provide basic necessities and Yong guk would sell his expensive cloths and take on part time jobs just to provide for him and his members He would beg fand not to buy the groups merchandise and albums as well as to boycott all BAP Concerts so that he could cut off support for the company He even took the company to court and finally won tho the company came to a agreement and screwed the members over again after resigning In more recent years the boy group TRCNG had a massive scandal a couple of years back where 2 members were kicked out of the group for revealing all of the horrible things the company did to them and they sued these 2 members for false accusations tho luckily the Korean media outlet Dispatch found proof that everything was true and so here are some things that they expirenced that many other TS artists probably had to go through Living in the basement of a tiny apartment that they can barely stand in with their clothes coving the floor No heating and the company wouldn't fix the bathroom or pay the electricity bill They had to pay for their own meals,clothing and medical expenses they were physically abused by staff members and 1 staff member mad the boys do manual labour for his hobby of buying and selling off designer shoes and they weren't getting payed for this Taking members to help them attract woman at a bar known for prostitution BTW back then all of the TRCNG members would have been underage so the company got done for child abuse The company has many other stories with its artists tho these are the 2 most known Thankfully TS ent finally closed down in 2021

At the beginning you said it's not a common thing to see guns, blood and all that stuff; and yes, you right, but there's B.A.P (group were Bang Yongguk was)... they follow that kind of concept. I highly recommend ONE SHOT & SKYDIVE, you might like it

[@NexX35]

The concepts bang yongguk and his group bap did was definitely not normal especially not nowadays Would appreciate it you reacted to their music

[@aRedBaroness]

Bang Yongguk - 2 is my album of the year so far. (But yeah his solo mvs, I am not so into visuals, but the songs!) He has also produced for rookie bg, Just B. B.A.P. is a fun group to check out, their stuff can be like mini movies particularly Shoot Out and SkyDive. I also recommend Jongup's solo stuff.
