@@mivey_ This. Ever since he integrated into that one particular group of friends he distanced himself from the others so much and it’s obvious. Every time I watch Bigbang videos of them offstage and in their own limelight Seungri is never there. It’d always be Daesung, Youngbae, and Jiyong and Tabi (sometimes, he teleports). The company you keep also defines the person that you are, and Seungri is a prime example of the consequences of hanging around and being influenced AND influencing others like that. A shame really, but it’s in his nature and it’s disgusting.

In a way I think it was good that they laid it out on camera so that it was on record that they were already suspicious/concerned even back then. Back then many of us thought they were all paranoid or were big-brothering him to death because he was the maknae. Little did we know...

[@hamingnu6610]

It's so unfortunate, because imagine effectively growing up together, learning the ways of the professional idol industry, being an artist, becoming an adult, but once you all have a little freedom, instead of worrying about the next steps you take as individuals, entrepreneurs, or artists, you're worrying about your youngest member losing themselves in the worst endeavors possible. It's hard for a sense of family to be built within a professional environment, but when they go through what they went through as a group, it was inevitable that they were gonna be a family of five. But it seems it's very easy for some people to change and to neglect what has been built. It's very sad.

[@ricashielyn_]

Just thankful that the other 4 members weren’t influenced by Seungri 🙏🏻

[@ro-zeea.8734]

The other members were going through their own crap. The last thing they wanted is to babysit the magnae of the group. You can tell the guys didn't really care about him, just cared about the "image" and brand of the group. It is very telling how the other members already thought of themselves as a 4 member group. Be jokingly or not that hurts from people who he may have thought cared for him. It's giving that greenlight that says "ok so I'm out? and you care more about the brand and image? watch what I'm going to do to it you mfs." That's what he may have been his interpretation of conversation and being done and shown to the public too. You can tell by Seungri's reaction by having them clarify "wait what do you mean 4?" Joking or not that may have been the final straw for him? I don't know I could be reading to much into it. I am NOT putting blame on the other members, just to be clear. Everyone failed him in some form or another. My suspension he was troubled even before joining BB.

​@@ro-zeea.8734 i think that's kinda a cruel reading of the other members. I think they wanted to prevent him from going down the wrong path, but there wasn't much they could do. They talk about how he never hangs out with them anymore and how he basically ignores them. He seems to have isolated himself rather than them isolating him. Seungri came into the group a bit insecure already (since it was between him and someone else and yg just barely chose him). There is only so much you can do when you see someone destroying their own lives. You can warn them and try to stop them, but it's ultimately their life and their choices. Sometimes nothing works and I think that happened in big bang.

The people Seungri he was hanging around with had bad reputations word gets out and people talk. Plus seeing how Seungri was changing, people put 2 and 2 together. I was reminding by a saying that goes "you can tell a lot about the person by the company he/she keeps." Not excusing what he did, the lack of adult guidance and accountability is huge factor in the development of a young adult, mix in money, fame and having "yes" people around him is and will always be a disaster waiting to happen. He calls himself "the Gatsby " of SK, for those that haven't read the book "The Great Gatsby" (highly recommended btw it is deep read, with a lot of hidden metaphors and symbolisms) knows the ending and it isn't a happy one. Overall is a tragedy. He has hurt so many people, specially women. The real victims are the women.

We cant really judge G-dragon. If you have no evidence to convict a criminal, your efforts will be fruitless. He might have been trying to raise awareness through the song considering the country they live in. For Seungri to escape with a lighter sentence, it shows that the laws in Korea are pretty lax and BigBang members might not be able to do anything to it. The company was the one who suggested Mr Burning sun, it is probable that BigBang members are also threatened if they do anything. They may also not know the extent of his crimes. Just like most people didn't believe my siblings, my mum and I had to endure years of physical and emotional abuse from my dad.

Its because he was arrogant and money hungry. Hed been like that for a very long time. I found BigBang in 2008, even then you could see he was "off" for lack of a better word.

[@hamingnu6610]

@@RoxxyFly He was also probably not doing shady business right from the get go. But it was clear probably to the members that his personality led him to wanting to do things that aren't so safe. So as soon as he gets an ounce of freedom both from the demands of BIGBANG as well as from his members (as their activities slowed down late 2010s) he probably was able to get into contact with more and more people who convinced him they could give him what he wanted. Most normal artists who have a sense of self preservation are probably gonna weed out the people who's just gonna bring them to places they shouldn't be, doing things they shouldn't be doing, but Seungri probably liked the attention and the fact he had influence. He liked it far too much. It's most unfortunate when it's the Maknae that falls from grace, because you'd feel a lot of remorse as an older figure in their lives.

And im not a VIP but i love the way the other members kind of prepared their fans beforehand on what is going to happen in the future.

[@phamngocongthi5174]

I think GD means he wants a normal party where members are invited to celebrate SR birthday bc they still consider him as their family, not mean that party, and GD is upset that instead of having normal BD party with members, SR chose to use that to get investment for that shjt even before all his hyungs were not around in next 2 years that he didnt even care to give a shjt abt his hyungs. But in front of camera, that's all GD can say about but he couldnt hide his dissapointment.

[@hamingnu6610]

Ultimately he knows he'd lose everything by directly placing the members in the light of those activities he wanted to do. But he was playing with fire. The worst thing he could've done was neglect the friendship that they had all already built, and the fact that they all had plenty of success to their names as BIGBANG and as YG artists. He thought he'd be in more trouble if he let his hyungs see the utter BS he was getting himself into, but he only irreversibly lost them in the process because he was completely neglecting their relationship. Let alone doing completely fucked shit. It's not like he never cared for his hyungs, but it's clear his sour ambitions got the best of him and it only made him lose the four guys regardless, despite all the care they had for him.

[@gdvibes888]

His hyungs were already sounding the alarm. It's like BB was preparing VIPs for the worst. So sad ... BB as 5 on stage fades with every passing day

In the Bigbang song "sober", GD, Teddy, and TOP wrote the lyrics. And they had Senguri sing the lyrics "If you only chase after money, power and fame Your crotch is gonna rip and you’re gonna fall They say love is good, friendship is good But be warned, the back of your head might be in pain". seems like they were trying to warn him, even in 2015

And s* opened that club only after all the members enrolled in military so there's no chance they would've known what illegal activities that man was doing. And it takes a lots of courage to openly criticize the grp member infront of whole nation still the rest of members took that risk and warned him to not be a greedy(as it may lead to disaster in the end that's what happened). At last not to the point of direct victims of this case but a little bit rest of members also victims of that pimp as it also effected their life in many ways

VIPs merely say BIGBANG is a legend for paving the way but other fans claim BB as a criminal group because of SR only. Some even took it far with Daesung's accident as a murder & TOP smoking weed as a druggie (even GD smoked marijuana when he was unaware). At that time, they were at the top that many would (still now) take advantage of from them. I'm happy Taeyang has a happy marriage & Daesung has a solo career now. GD has revealed his upcoming album too. I hope TOP could get better in the future. There are so many hates from Knetz that are worrisome, esp him joining The Squid Game S2

[@syaiam5542]

Its too hard for them to throw him out of the group earlier probably because 1) they still had hopes for him to change and the fact that they build the group BIGBANG together from the bottom to be the top, 2) OT5 BIGBANG fans are too fking hardcore so its hard to push him out, 3) seungri is a bitter man and he’ll stick to the brand BIGBANG as if his life depends on it (which it does lol) no matter how the members try to push him away.. so yeah.

I also think it's just shenanigans of these people who're already just using Seungri for clout trying to see if they can get to GD, who's arguably an even bigger asset - no matter what way they use him. It's just fortunate that GD's not heartless and unaware enough to not see that these people that have let themselves get close to Seungri aren't using him for anything other than their own benefit. And it's even sadder that Seungri was willing to go above and beyond to do the worst shit possible just to uplift himself.

“It’s hard to get a meal with him.” “It’s only the four of us offstage.” Imagine them saying that even when they’re touring with him for 2 fucking years. These were the hyungs that he struggled with when they debuted in 2006. And he threw that all away.

They probably all already knew that he was getting into bad circles of people, but the more he did, the more he isolated himself from the members. It doesn't even matter if he did that for the sake of his hyungs (or a feeling of shame), ultimately it's clear his members already saw that he wasn't using his isolation from them for good and he was only getting himself wrapped up into places and people that'll only lead him down a bad path. But then he got the fame and money, and once the members went into the military, he got the freedom too to do the worst to try and uplift himself; all for the wrong reasons.

I don't think the fans of Seungri understand how bad that incident was. I have just sat and watched a documentary about it that was made by my own countries television channel the BBC. Quite frankly anyone who is defending this man, hang your heads in shame. Had he been British him and all his little pals would have been thrown in jail for a very very long time. Instead of siding up to him because he was part of BIGBANG how about people have some serious sympathy for the poor women who were used and abused. He indeed has tarnished BIGBANG and there is nothing he can do to put that right. However the world at large do not need to paint the other four with his dirty brush. They haven't done anything wrong. It is incredibly sad that these phenomenal musicians have been treated so harshly because of one of their members.

All this time and it still hurts my heart to badly. He was so careless and got so caught up and lost in the fame. It's not like he didn't have good advice to follow or did not have many others looking out for him, INCLUDING HIS OWN FAMILY. Not everyone is cut out for fame. There is no rule book or instruction manual to follow. But you should have the common sense God gave you and he IGNORED it all. Being famous is like a very thin line and everything wrapped up with his takes your mind is a zillion directions. So you have to either "get it" & understand ... or you don't. And he soooooooooo did not. And it can be a lonely life at times. The gruely recording sessions, practicing, touring, fan events. For as much as you gain, you lose even more I think, as far as your personal freedom and choices go. You must learn and grow. He did neither. Ever. It's like he never knew just HOW HUGE Big Bangs impact was in the industry. That's was frustrates me the most. He did not get it at all, the part BB played on setting up how the current stage is for those coming up behind them. The influence they were. How scary was it for the other four to helplessly watch this happen and have zero control? Does he even think about where their music would have gone had he just listened and been patient? The heights they could have reached? All the music we lost out on from the main 5. He threw all away like trash. And it was all for what again? Where is he now? Has he gained is lost respect back? Has he atoned for the sins and acts committed against those women and their families? Has he sincerely made efforts to reconnect with his former "brothers" and with VIP & do all he can to work hard for a better life? Thank God we have the other 4 members solo work, and that they are still here for us to love, support and cheer! Magic happens when the 4 of them are together and it will happen again one day.

[@skrxxkk_6401]

This! Say it louder for the people in the back! The members all knew something was off, but they could not say for certain since Seungri definitely hid things from them. All they could do was to try to talk him out of it, whatever it was. I could only imagine how the members must have felt all those years before the scandal broke and came to light.

[@kpopx21xtim]

After years of warning him, he still did it. It makes sense for the rest of the members to not even consider him a member or a brother, since that was their right as older hyungs. Now look at the overall scope of things, Big Bangs career is over, all members went off doing their separate things. If only this didnt happen, Big Bang could have went on for another 5-10 years

[@HailToTheMeep]

To those who see Seungri as a victim and as if the members of Bing Bang or his parents or others failed him somehow. Please don’t insult the victims nor the intelligence of the people around you. Please have some self respect and some shame. He is the perpetrator and RUINED a lot of people’s lives. He ruined Big Bang’s legacy. Now, unless you are into kpop, everytime the name Big Bang is mentioned, all people will remember is the Burning Sun. That is thanks to Seungri. NOBODY FAILED HIM. HE FAILED EVERYONE.

[@kozumekenma9157]

He is a victim to himself. Like I understand a bit?? About how maybe he wanted attention that stemmed from feeling insecure but he had so so many people good people to turn to yet he chose the wrong path now look at him one if the biggest downfalls

[@dolledwon]

What some people look over is that groups always have little disagreements and they only sometimes show on stage, like bumping into eachother or not interacting with eachother when they have a feud. Yet with BB, all the other members called out seungri in public, even in a “joking” manner but that shows how much discourse there was behind the scenes.

[@shermayboo]

In the height of their career, my friends were all non-kpop stans & I went to their concert & GD's solo concert alone. Now that my friends are listening to kpop, I want to see them with friends and brag about their music & live performance. Sadly, there's only a slim chance of seeing BB live in the future, as a 4-member group. But still, I'm hoping..

[@hope.ritzies7777]

I hope the 4 of them would come back to the stage

[@goofymermaid]

I’ve been a casual fan of Big Bang since 2009. I never liked Seungri from the start-something about him always made me uneasy, though I couldn’t pinpoint why until the Burning Sun scandal. My heart goes out to all the victims. It’s a shame he didn’t end up rotting in prison for what he did to those women.

[@queeniana5607]

He just needs the popularity and name of bigbang, he doesn't have anything without that

[@RealTaIk]

6:16 damn, T.O.P actually looks concerned throughout the whole thing...

[@tamtye7947]

When I first watched this, I didn't look at Seungri. I couldn't and didn't want to look at him. Then I watched it again. I watch the TOP section many times ( 0:30 ). While TOP was voicing his concerns about Seungri's friends, I finally looked at Seungri. He looked as though he didn't care. There is one word I'm thinking...smug. TOP was speaking the truth and G-Dragon was agreeing with every word TOP said. Then you hear the members of BigBang discussing how Seungri never hangs out with them but he hangs out with questionable friends. After that Burning Sun doc, I bet you G-Dragon was thankful he and the other members were not invited to that birthday party. I remember when TOP posted that crop photo of BigBang. He received a lot of hate but luckily, he had a lot of fans and friends that backed him up. Daesung took a hit from those haters too. G-Dragon knew that Seungri was not worth the effort. Seungri would never listen. So, G- Dragon cut him loose and the idiot didn't realize it. I hope the 4 members can come together and do another song (that will be difficult since 3 left YG) because anything is possible.

[@TreScotts1Fan]

This is so heartbreaking. They are genuinely pleading. He is too far gone at that point and does not care. I wish I could hug the four.

[@TreScotts1Fan]

He is a demon.

[@onetwothree8359]

without seungri is okay his doesnt help a lot . But without TOP is different😢 ,TOP mystery n charisma is no one cant have n copy

[@nualrea9266]

To the fans who still defend him …. Even his own members his own hyungs ( older brothers ) the people who actually knows him more than y’all do they are avoiding him as possible and warned him him before. And now he is not one of the band members anymore . Try to defend even more he is not gonna pick you

[@Belectraaaa]

Burning sun gives me chills like i cant even watch the bbc at midnight😭only during the day i can because im scared😢im NEW TO BIGBANG im just trying to know them except seungri! Bigbang hyungs really cared for him it looks like they even tried to warn him stop him his greed for money! They warned him about his shady friends and he never spends time with them or eat with them😢which idol does that? Looks like seungri was really a weirdo cause i dont see any idol who has done that. God he really showed many signs i mean hyungs really said it on tv, made him sing a song about money in "sober" i think and then "i know many beautiful girls give me your number"😵‍💫damnnnnn they cared for him but he ruined it all and still have the audacity to use bigbang name? Why tf he only got 18 months jail time?wtf🤡
