do you think aside from the more obvious reasons for releasing the song. bb also released it to test the waters?
Yes, among other things, I do think this was a test of sorts. YG didn't seem to have confidence in BB in the days leading up to this, and I do suspect that with this one song and video they were giving BB just one chance to prove themselves... again. To show that they still have “it” and that there is still demand for them. Now? A recent report has YG saying "trust has been reaffirmed" 🙄 Even among VIPs there was a sense of deep uncertainty, not about the success of the song but about what it might mean for the future of the group. What message it might hold.
One of the most telling signs of this lack of confidence was the absence of promotion from YG (which they've acknowledged, as if it's something they're now proud of, praising BB for earning this success "on the merits of the music alone" ugh) as well as the tentative way the members themselves approached it in the days leading up to it, especially TOP, who until the day before shared next-to-nothing about it. Well, Daesung was the exception, with his D'splay vids confirming the announcement, analyzing the release date, and playfully "guessing" the melody (btw did y'all catch him singing the tune to Auld Lang Syne? As if ushering in a new year, and a new beginning)...
Anyway, I'd say they passed the test. With flying colors. And I hope that means we and BB won't be left waiting too long for a follow-up -- for what comes next.
#bigbang#still life#ask#anon#yg#yg entertainment#maybe daesung was more open and upbeat about it bc his youtube channel isn't followed as closely as the others' instagram accounts#followed and scrutinized by the media I mean#that's not to say that they don't report on it occasionally#but it really seems to be more between him and the fans#he's never gotten as much media attention as the others anyway -- it's how he's able to fly under the radar lol

DreamLog #003: Randolph
First Scene
Mam Cora's house, katabi daw ng Lets do it! Salon. dumaan ako, tapos bday pala niya.. kwentuhan kami konte tapos umalis na ako - - before that, may aattendan daw ako na seminar, nag pack ako ng mga damit ko.. over night lang un pero ang dami kong dala.. inaasar daw ako ni Charm and Danica, tapos naka uniform daw ako na pang high school..
So ayun na nga, nadaanan ko bahay ni mam.. dumaan ako. Eh bday pala niya .. nung paglabas ko ng bahay, sa tapat ng 4knots, nakita ko si Catherine, ung dark skinned girl na classmate ko, naka-angkas daw siya sa tricycle na naka park, and naka uniform din siya, pero ibang school!!!.. Nag catch up kami, and then nung paalis na ako, dumating ung ibang classmates namin . Sila Jerwin, Elizer, Joniel, and si Randolph. Naka uniform din sila, old HS uniform namin!!!... hndi ko na matandaan names ng iba.. I asked kung gusto nila batiin si mam Cora. And i said pa daw na "bilang president, I say, tara na puntahan natin si Mam Cora!".
So ayun, binati namin siya, may someone na may hawak ng bote ng Sprite tapos nilagyan ng kandila, struggle daw pag sindi ng kandila.. Anyways, nung tapos na, palabas na kami, hawak ni Ran ung bewang ko while nag lalakad kami, tapos sabi niya ihahatid na daw nya ako. Tapos, magka hawak kamay kami na naglalakad. Nung nasa may kanto na kami, naiwanan ko pala ung nga bags ko, so binalikan namin.
-End scene-
Second scene
Nasa apartment ko kami... may mga nakahiwang gulay-gulay sa labas.. pero wala si Karyl.. tapos while nag ku-kwentuhan kami, may kumatok sa gate. Pinuntahan ko.. si mom niya pala yun..
Tapos kwento-kwento siya, asked niya if may umuupa na sa mga katabing apartment ko, sabi ko vacant ung dalawa..
Sumandal siya dun sa lababo nung 2nd apartment. Kwento siya kung bakit nag annullment sila Ran and wife.. tango-tango lang ako, pero hndi ko maintindihan yung kinukwento niya.. parang may other anak si ate before naging sila ni Ran??? biglang dumating ung roomate ko.. si Daesung pala!!!!! HAHA
Tapos, un derecho si mom niya sa apartment, sinalubong siya ni Ran. Ang kalat daw ng apartment ko, mega tupi ako ng mga kumot, ung isang kumot ko pa, ka-print ung umbrella ko na blue haha
End scene. Nagising ako
Tulog ako ulit.
Third scene
(na-continue yung dream)
Nasa parang resort kami, with family, naliligo ako dun sa make shift na shower area, bamboo ung mga walls, tapos ang tagal ko daw maligo. May time limit pala.. tapos may ate na lumapit sa 'kin while naliligo, ang sabi, 30 mins na daw ako doon. Across the street, may ate na may hawak na papel may nakasulat na 30 mins!.. haha ayun. So, pag tapos ko, balik ako ng room namin, nag pa-pack na yung mga family members ko. Tapos si Ran, dadalhin niya dapat ung mga gamit ko, pero hinila siya ng mother niya.. lakad sila, nauna sila sa paglalakad, kasabay ko family ko.. eh may isang room pa pala kami na lilipatan (yata?). ako may dala ng susi, so inunahan ko sila na maglakad, nakatingin sa akin mom niya while nag bubukas ako ng susi.. tapos si Ran, sad daw..
Ang weird
Funny story, classmate kami ni Ran since Grade 1, 'till 4th year HS.. hindi ko alam kung may gusto siya sa akin, pero naalala ko, one time, sinabi niya na buti pa daw ung mga nanliligaw sa akin, hindi ko pinsan.. kasi.... pinsan ko siya.
That was more than a decade ago. Yun.

[NEWS] Ketiadaan BIGBANG Dalam Industri Musik Setelah T.O.P Bergabung Dengan Kepolisian Tidak Akan Lama... Member Lainnya Akan Terus Tampil
BIGBANG tidak pernah berhenti. Meskipun salah satu membernya, T.O.P, akan menghilang sementara dari industri musik karena bergabung dengan kepolisian untuk wajib militernya pada bulan Februari, keempat member lainnya akan terus tampil sebagai unit ataupun individual. Keempat member lainnya, kecuali T.O.P, pernah bekerja pada keadaan yang sama setiap kali T.O.P sibuk syuting film. Meskipun fans untuk sementara waktu tidak dapat melihat tim lengkap dari BIGBANG, namun mereka tidak akan berhenti tampil untuk fans.
Pertama, G-Dragon dan Taeyang sedang mempersiapkan perilisan solo mereka. YG mengatakan, “Waktu yang pasti untuk perilisan solo G-Dragon dan Taeyang belum ditentukan, namun solo mereka telah dikonfirmasi. Pengerjaan perilisan solo mereka sedang dilakukan.”
BIGBANG adalah grup musisi-idol dimana membernya dapat tampil sebagai penyanyi solo. G-Dragon selalu mendapatkan kesuksesan untuk perilisan solonya, yang pencapaiannya dapat dibandingkan atau bahkan lebih baik daripada BIGBANG. Taeyang selalu berkonsentrasi pada BIGBANG dan musik. Ia pernah mengatakan, “BIGBANG adalah keluarga saya. Kehidupan saya tanpa BIGBANG tidak ada artinya.” Diperkirakan bahwa Taeyang akan memberikan potensi dan bakatnya dengan melakukan comeback di semester pertama tahun ini.
Daesung akan memulai tur dome solo Jepangnya. Daesung adalah satu-satunya member dari antara grup idol Korea yang dapat melakukan tur dome solo di Jepang. Ini dapat terjadi karena Daesung selalu bekerja keras dengan semangat untuk musik. Daesung telah menunjukkan selera humor dan kejenakaannya dalam acara hiburan TV seperti “Family Has Come”. Konser solonya selalu penuh dengan tawa penonton karena ia selalu menunjukkan keahliannya berbicara dan bakatnya.
Tur dome solo Jepang Daesung tahun ini akan dihadiri oleh total 200.000 fans selama 4 konser yang akan dilangsungkan di 2 kota: Seibu Prince Dome pada tanggal 15 dan 16 April, dan di Kyocera Dome, Osaka pada tanggal 22 dan 23 April. Jumlah fans yang diperkirakan hadir dalam tur dome Daesung ini membuktikan kuatnya fanbase Daesung di Jepang.
Untuk Seungri, belum ada jadwal resmi yang dikonfirmasi. Namun, kombinasi G-Dragon, Taeyang, dan Seungri selalu menghasilkan kesuksesan. Fans memberikan perhatian akan kejutan yang akan diberikan oleh produser utama YG, Yang Hyun Suk, dari keempat anggota BIGBANG.
Oleh karena itulah, BIGBANG tidak akan pergi jauh dari fans, hingga pesan selamat berpisah untuk fans pada konser terakhirnya seperti tidak berarti. Semua member BIGBANG adalah penyanyi solo yang sangat berpengaruh bila dibandingkan dengan grup idol lainnya, bisa dibilang seperti versi penyanyi dari film Hollywood, Avengers.

Lessons from an IBM Spectrum Scale object...
by DaeSung Chung , Big Data & Machine Learning, IBM Systems Lab Services, IBM Korea I recently had a chance to implement a 10 petabyte object storage solution using IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM Elastic Storage Server (ESS). The solution used Spectrum Scale to provide OpenStack Swift API services and Elastic Storage Server as back-end storage. In this post, I want to share some tips based on the lessons I learned from this project. Tip 1: Look for usage patterns of many, many files with heavy metadata searches.

-CENSORSH*P- sa larangan ng K-Pop
<4:30 ng umaga, sa aking kuwarto. Nagpaparinig na ang lecheng alarm. Sa totoo lang, ironic na ginagamit ko ang aking paboritong awitin bilang pananda ng isa pang “nakaeenganyong” araw sa unibersidad 🙄😢>
🎵GFriend (여자친구) - LOVE WHISPER (귀를 기울이면)🎵
AY NAKO GOOD MORNING TALAGA!
Nagmamadali ako makarating sa Ateneo para maka-review ako ng reading! “Summa Theologica” ni St.Thomas Aquinas
(Oo, si Santo Tomas, ‘yung patron ng UST! Sabi pa nga ni sir na dinukot ng Ateneo Philosophy Department bilang patron ito!)
Habang pinupukpok ko ang aking utak sa modes of understanding ni Aquinas, biglang dumating ang BEST-FRIEND-KO-SINCE-HIGH-SCHOOL na si Justin. Binabansagan ko siyang white-washed dahil tumatangkilik siya sa musika ni Taylor Swift (kaya siya ay isang SWIFTIE.) Kahapon nga lang, hindi siya mapatahimik tungkol sa MV ng Look What You Made Me Do
Subalit, galit na galit ito sa mga “BANJAY BANJAY NA K-PAPSH NA YANH 😡” (sa kanyang pananalita). Minsan, gusto ko siyang saksakin (ay nako talagaaaa), pero alam ko nambibiro lamang ito. Naiintindihan naman niya na matagal ko nang minahal ang K-Pop. Nagsimula ang LOVE AFFAIR ko with K-Pop noong ako’y nasa ika-limang baitang sa Ateneo Grade School. Ang taon ay 2007, isang dekada na ang nakalipas. Noong panahong iyon, tanyag ang awiting Nobody ng Wonder Girls sa Pilipinas, at napanood ko ito sa “makabagong” plataporma ng YouTube.
Naalala ko pa ang choreography nito at madalas ko sinayaw ito sa klase. Kung babalikan ko ang alaalang iyon, nasusuka ako sa pagkahiya. Dahil dito, HINDING-HINDI KO MAPAKIKINGGAN ANG NOBODY SA KASALUKUYAN 😳😳😳.
AT DITO NAGSIMULA ANG PAGTATANGKILIK KO SA AWITING KOREANO.
Fast-forward naman tayo sa 2012. Isa pang kantang K-Pop na maituturing essential sa pagpasimuno ng Hallyu Wave ay ang FANTASTIC BABY ng BIGBANG. Nahanap ko ang kanta dahil ipinakita ito ng aking kaibigang mahilig sa K-Pop, si AG! (Shoutout sa’yo AG! LUV THIS SONG OMG! 💖)
youtube
Gustong-gusto ‘to ng mga Filipino noon, at hanggang ngayon sapagkat napakikinggan ang awitin sa local na telebisyon katulad ng late night variety show na Banana Split (o “Banana Split” na kasalukuyang pinapalabas pagkatapos ng ASAP). Makikita sina Angelica Panganiban at John Prats na sumasayaw parang mga tanga pagkatapos mai-deliver ang punch line ng bawat joke habang pinatutugtog ang Fantastic Baby.
JOKES ASIDE, kung titingnan ang music video ng Fantastic Baby bilang isang teksto ng Kulturang Popular, makikita sa subtext ng music video ang paraan ng pag-iisip ng kapanahunan nito.
Para maintindihan ang mga paraan ng pag-iisip, tumungo muna tayo sa mga imahen na pinepresenta sa MV. Ang konsepto ng SAUSSUREAN SIGN, more specifically ang SECOND-ORDER SIGNIFICATION (o ang connotative sign) ay mahalaga para sa pagsusuri ng mga imahen. Sa pagsusuri, makikita natin kung paano gumagalaw ang South Korean Media at Lipunan sa taong 2012.
1. Ang Kuwago o Owl
Sa unang frame pa lamang ng video, may makikitang kuwago na nakatayo sa isang street lamp. Sa literatura, ang kuwago ay isang signifier para sa kaalaman o knowledge.
Makalipas ng ilang segundo, makikita ang Kuwago na lumipad. Ang paglilipad ay isang signifier para sa pagpapalaya o liberasyon.
Kung iisiping magkasama, ang paglilipad ng Kuwago ay sumisimbolo sa PAGPAPALAYA NG KAALAMAN. Ang kahalagahan nito ay aking babalikan mamaya.
2. Ang Dalawang Panig
Dito, makikita natin na naglalaban ang dalawang panig. Isa rito ay ang pulisya, na collectively ay nagiging signifier para sa control at awtoridad.
Ang pangalawang panig ay mga indibidwal na nakasuot ng mga gas mask. Ang signified ng mga nakasuot ng gas mask ay rebelyon dahil common o ingrained na sa ating isipan ang imahen ng isang vandal na gumagawa ng graffiti sa pampublikong espasyo at madalas siya nagsusuot ng gas mask para hindi makalanghap ng kemikal mula sa spray paint.
Dito, makikita natin ang binary opposition ng CONTROL/REBELYON at ang kanilang pakikipaglaban isa’t isa.
3. Ang mga Kadena
Dito, makikita natin si Daesung (completely ignoring the fact he is shirtless OMG) na nakakadena sa pader. Bukod sa pulisya, ang estado ng pagkakadena ay isa pang signifier ng control.
Makikita rin natin na sinusubukan niyang makawala, at sa mga susunod na punto ay matutuklas natin kung ano kanyang tinatakasan.
4. Ang Iisang Denotative Sign
Makikita natin sa riot shield ng mga pulisya ang mga katagang
“STOP MUSIC”
“STOP SINGING”
Dito, inihahain na ng teksto ang problema na hinaharap sa kapanahunan ng pagkasulat ng Fantastic Baby. Ito ay ang ISYU NG CENSORSHIP sa South Korean Media, specifically K-Pop. Tingnan natin kung papaano malalapat sa CENSORSHIP ang mga tinukoy na imahen thusfar:
Ang pagpapalaya ng kaalaman sa imahen ng kuwago ay tumutukoy sa kagustuhan ng mga manunulat (na sina BIGBANG members G-Dragon, T.O.P, at ang producer na si Teddy) ibuwag ang sistema ng CENSORSHIP sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalaya ng nais nilang sabihin.
Ang binary opposition ng CONTROL/REBELYON ay kumakatawan sa paglaban ng mga radikal na artist katulad ng BIGBANG sa sistema ng CENSORSHIP.
Ang control sa imahen ng mga kadena ay tumutukoy sa kalikasan ng CENSORSHIP na pagiging limiting o hadlang sa creative process ng musika at ang karapatan ng freedom of speech.
Sa mga susunod na imahen, tingnan natin kung papaano naman nilalaban ng Fantastic Baby ang makapangyarihang sistema ng CENSORSHIP.
5. Ang Pagliyab
Dito, makikita ang isang road sign na naka “🚫” o naka cross-out ang logo ng mga rebelde, ang gas mask (na siyang sign ng rebelyon). Subalit, tinapunan ito ng molotov at ito’y lumiyab. Ang pagliyab na ito ay maaring maintindihan sa dalawang paraan:
Una, ang akto ng pagliyab sa tumututol na road sign ay signifier ng pagsisimula at pag-usbong ng rebelyon laban sa sistema ng CENSORSHIP.
Pangalawa, ang akto ay signifier sa mismong pagtutol sa sistemang ng CENSORSHIP.
6. Ang Obra at Rebolusyong Pranses
Makikita natin si T.O.P na nakasuot ng isang costume na remeniscent sa kasuotan ni Napoleon Bonaparte
Si Napoleon, higit sa pagiging emperor ng Pransiya, ay isa sa mga mahahalagang personalidad sa Rebolusyong Pranses dahil sa kaynang pagsugpo sa mga tumutol sa revolutionary government at pagiging mapangahas na pinuno sa larangan ng digmaan. Sa madaling salita, siya’y isang rebolusyonaryo.
Similarly, ang BIGBANG ay itinuturing mga rebolusyonaryo (self-imposed, of course).
Mahalaga rin ang pagpresenta kay T.O.P sa loob ng isang frame, possibly sa isang museo. Sinasabi naman nito na hindi lamang sila rebolusyonaryo, kundi mga obra maestra na rin. By extention, ang mga kanta nila ay mga obra maestra rin. Kung ilalapat sa CENSORSHIP, dapat makita ang musika bilang mga obra maestra imbis na mga bagay na kailangang ma-filter o pagsuspetsahan.
Sinasabi ng music video ng Fantastic Baby na ang BIGBANG ay mga rebolusyonaryo dahil hindi sila takot na maglahad ng mga saloobin tungkol sa CENSORSHIP. Sa halip na iwasan ang pagkasalungat sa sistema, sinusubukan nila ito. In a sense, rebolusyonaryo rin sila dahil pinapalaya nila ang saloobin ng mamamayan laban sa CENSORSHIP in the media.
Higit sa lahat, sila ay rebolusynaryo dahil nais nilang magpasimuno ng bagong sistema katulad ng mga literal na rebolusyonaryo sa kasaysayan ng mundo.
8. Ang Seksuwalisasyon
Isa sa mga nais tanggalin ng CENSORSHIP sa media ay ang kahit anong sekswal na representasyon: ng katawan, ng indibidwal, atbp.
Ang imahen nito ng paghahawak sa abs ni Seungri ay isang paraan na sabihing walang pakialam ang mga manunulat sa sistema ng kapangyarihang ito. Muli, sa halip na iwasan ang conflict, gumagawa ito ng skandalo para magparinig ng hinaing.
9. Ang Paggiba ng Kapaligiran
Sa imahen na ito, makikita si G-Dragon sa ibabaw ng ginigibang kapaligiran. Ang paggiba ng kapaligiran, kasama na ang mga imprastraktura katulad ng mga pader at bakod, ay maihahalintulad sa ninanais ng manunulat na magiba ang sistema ng CENSORSHIP.
10. Ang Pagtanggal ng Gas Mask
Mahalaga ang pagtanggal ng gas mask dahil kinakatawan nito ang inaasam na tagumpay ng mga manunulat laban sa CENSORSHIP, patungong KALAYAAN.
And true enough, ang problema ng CENSORSHIP sa K-Pop ay nanatiling isyu mula noon hanggang ngayon
Dito, makikita natin si Jay Park na LITERAL na sinensor dahil sa kanyang mga tattoo (also, isn’t he adorable HAHA 🐱). Naging common practice na ang pag-censor ng mga tattoo ng mga K-Pop Idols sa telebisyon.
Sa musika, ang cover art ay isa pang sinesensor. Ang unang album nina G-Dragon at T.O.P na tinawag GD & TOP ay nirelease noong 2011 at gumamit ng ibang cover bago ito sinensor at ginawang puso
Ayan na po! Ang naunang cover ay may Playboy Bunny, na signifier ng kalaswaan sa mata ng gobyerno. Sapilitang iniba ito!
Ang single ng album na tinawag na “Knock Out” ay hindi pinayagan ma-broadcast sa telebisyon (”GD&TOP's "Knock Out" banned on KBS, MBC, & SBS“) Nakasabi sa artikulo na ito ay dahil gumamit ito ng slang, subalit hindi ba ganoon na ang norm sa Kanluraning musika?
Sinabi na nga ng isang netizen na kinuote sa artikulo; ang K-Drama ay maaring maglahad ng isyu katulad ng sexual abuse at ang mga tauhan ay gumagamit ng malalaswang salita. Ngunit, hindi pinapayagang mag-perform sina G-Dragon at T.O.P dahil gumagamit sila ng slang. Makikita rito ang kawalan ng katarungan sa sistema ng CENSORSHIP. Makikita rin ang kawalan ng freedom of expression dito.
Kaya talagang nangangailangan ng kampeon ang mga musikero na nais maipahayag ang kanilang sarili sa larangan ng K-Pop. GOD BLESS G-Dragon at BIGBANG dahil bilang isang Hallyu Wave group (isang grupo na malaki ang impluwensiya sa mga banyaga rin), binabandila nila ang genre ng K-Pop sa buong mundo. Bilang mga maimpluwensiya, sila ang dapat mag-spearhead ng rebolusyon sa K-Pop laban sa CENSORSHIP.
IN ALL HONESTY, minahal ko ang kantang Fantastic Baby hindi dahil sa subtext na tinatago ng music video, kundi dahil nagustuhan ko siya bilang awitin LAMANG. Ngunit, pagkatapos suriin ko ito nang mabuti, may natuklasan rin ako hinggil sa aking sarili; na ang aking mga kagustuhan at libangan, katulad ng K-Pop, ay may sinasabi tungkol sa sarili.
Halimbawa, masasabi kong radikal ako dahil higit sa pagtangkilik ko sa BIGBANG, mahilig rin ako sa mga kakaibang fashion, at makikita iyon sa aking mga punit-punit na pantalon, mga choker, at mga oversized sweater at jacket (pero hindi ko masyado sinusuot ngayon dahil tinatamad ako these days HAYYY).
Pero higit sa superficial na bagay katulad ng kasuotan, ako’y naniniwala rin sa pagrerespeto sa mga ideya at mga nais ipahayag ng ibang tao. Kaya naiinis ako kapag mayroong gustong mag-talk-over (hal. manslpaning) sa iba. Naiinis rin ako kapag hindi pinapahalagahan ang aking mga ideya sa isang group work.
At ganito ang pakiramdam ng mga manunulat ng tekstong sumasailalim sa sistema ng CENSORSHIP, awtor man ng nobela, tanyag na musikero man, o simpleng mamamayan katulad ko at katulad nating lahat. Sa katotohanan, the experience of CENSORSHIP is very much HUMAN and relatable.
Sa ganitong paraan nagiging makasaysayan ang musika, in particular, ang K-Pop para sa akin; dahil may sinasabi ito tungkol sa aking personal na paraan ng pag-iisip; dahil mali ang nosyon na tumatangkilik ka para tumangkilik lamang. Para sa akin, walang “art for art’s sake”. Mayroon itong kahulugan. Palagi itong makabuluhan. Nasa atin lamang ang pagtuklas ng ibig-sabihin nito.

Sure! I love putting blood-sucking Seungleeches like you in their place. Also, for your information, I haven’t been in your inbox or anywhere near your sewer of a blog in recent memory, and frankly, that you think I would be makes me sick. Please, I don’t make a habit of hanging around people who suck up to sex offenders. Interesting that I’ve “been on your radar,” because girl, you haven’t been on mine.
Now, to answer your question. Those pics of GD’s that you’re still clutching white-knuckled are gravely outdated – 1 and 2 years old, respectively – and were posted long before Seungri was found guilty by the court on all counts and before he followed up his conviction with a full confession of his own, confirming once and for all that he had in fact been presenting himself dishonestly since the start. Alexa, play Stupid Liar by BIGBANG. If GD had any faith left in him back then – and that’s a big if – that faith’s been betrayed.
TOP’s post, on the other hand, is much more recent – posted less than 3 months ago (right around the time Seungri finally ‘fessed up to his crimes), and is therefore more pertinent to BIGBANG today. The image was left up for several months, which says something, as TOP is known for habitually deleting/archiving his posts soon after posting them. He’s constantly curating his Instagram gallery. That he kept his OT4 edit public for as long as he did, knowing how he is, made a strong statement: it was done to ensure that delusionals like you got a good, long, reality-inducing look at it.
By the way, the statement he made with this edit was strong enough to leave you Seungri stans reeling in shock, meltdowns taking place all across Twitter and so-called “VIPs” attacking him relentlessly for months. But now you’re wanting to pirouette and act like he’s suddenly back on Seungri’s side? For no good reason whatsoever? Don’t be silly.
As for GD? GD never deletes or archives anything. Two different members of BIGBANG with two vastly different styles of managing their social media. I’m pretty sure you know these things, yet here we are…
Interestingly, TOP changed the caption of his post in the days leading up to BIGBANG’s comeback, which shows it wasn’t just an impulse post that he soon forgot about; he was actively tending to it in recent days, as if further preparing us for what was coming:
BIGBANG’s New Year’s Eve. Still Life marks the start of their new “year,” their new start as four. Fun fact, and possibly coincidence, but this aligns nicely with Daesung singing the Still Life lyrics to the tune of Auld Lang Syne, a New Year’s anthem, in his video upload the day before the comeback. Looking back on old times fondly yet resolving to move forward. A much-needed goodbye to yesterday in order to greet the new day. The group is moving on, and they expressed this exquisitely. It’s as YG explained in plainer terms: “BIGBANG’s four seasons are not the end, but a new beginning.”
That TOP has now archived his OT4 post comes as little surprise and is of no concern to VIPs. What need is there to leave it up any longer? BIGBANG’s message about continuing their journey as four as told in Spring Summer Fall Winter (Still Life) was as clear as day. They said what they needed to say. One week ago today they sang about and showed us where they’re coming from and where they’re going, and they did it the best way they know how: through the power of their music.
Please don’t ask me to cite every instance of OT4 imagery in Still Life – in the M/V, the lyrics, the concept, the teasers, and even in the title itself. We’d be here all day.
It's me again. Just wanted to point out that lyrics can be altered and manipulated to suit the musician's agenda. There's a chance that they just reused the melody and you can't deny that they definitely have thousands of soundbites from the one you hate. Tbh, I don't even know what Burning Sun is about but I do want to apologize for getting you this upset. Sorry! I'll leave. Have a good day!❤Dae❤SH❤
*You don't have to post this*
"I don't even know what Burning Sun is about" -- That's why you're "impartial" and that’s why you think this is even a possibility. I have to laugh. That does explain some things.
And uh, yeah, this posted just a few months ago by TOP totally sends the message that he wants to include that guy in his group’s new work 🙄 TOP is credited for lyrics and composition on Still Life; along with GD he’s known for being very hands-on involved in creating their music. And he recently cropped Seungri right out of an old group pic like a boss.
They may have the soundbites, but I assure you they are not letting them see the light of day. Let’s all take a page from BB’s book and stop trying to force the ex-member back in where he doesn’t belong just because you think that once upon a time long, long ago, he looked a little pretty with some makeup on.
