Thats right! Cos before the pandemic BigBang was line up for Coachella so after that everything was a mess specially with YG, i hope when 2NE1 come back , he changed his mind
@@shiion6711 that's not the point. He still love SK and I'm sure he's patriotic himself. But because knetz bully him too much to the point that he nearly took his own life he probably feels hurt too much by it he doesn't want to do things like promotions, interviews etc in Korea. Squid game also isn't exclusively for Korea only people watch the show all over the world.
@@obriendenis3965 so you are saying big bang members bully him so much that he have to block each and everyone of them also I didn't know big bang song are exclusive to Korea people only
So, they destroyed T.O.P's life over marijuana use. They harassed him so much that he tried to unalive himself knowing for a fact that he battles depression everyday. I'm trying to wrap my head around this. You know people still attack him on IG. However, fans shut them down quickly. He was supposed to go into space but that got canceled. He has new music coming out soon. His wine business seems to be doing well. He is getting back into acting (Squid Game 2 Dec. 26). Something happened that made T.O.P say No More Big Bang. Just leave him alone. Let him be. Time does heal.
Well Seungri happened. YG happened. YG really handled it the worst way possible. He stuck around long enough to crop that pic and write "I love my band. I love my fans". He started distancing himself from YG as soon as his contract was done. Since GD was the last one to leave YG and it was rumored, Yang hyun suk, was the one who tried to keep him around the most, then TOP MIGHT have had a disagreement with GD concerning how YG wanted to manage their activities/ brand as a group. Also, Yang Hyun Suk was involved in that case with Han Seo hee till 2023, might be related to that.
@@crisolivertan9700 which is exactly why i cant understand these people, they be kissing the western artists feet and listening to their music knowing full well they also smoking weed(and it's a damn plant) but scrutinize Top for it, mind you the reason he took them in the first place because he has sleepless night due to these people harassing them
They come from a country where drugs are frowned upon, it’s not the same as other countries so kpop celebrities have to conform to Korea standards not worldwide standards. They are under such scrutiny and rules that anything they do wrong is blasted in the news
TOP has been so much in his life. It's understandable that he wants to seperate himself away from all this. Let the man live his life. Hopefully he has a successful future moving forward.
TOP was my bias and I thought they enlisted in 2016 Also after the untimely passing of his friends Jonghyun, Sulli then Goo Hara TOP went live to say he will never perform in SK. The mentality of Knets is brutal and unforgiving. He has every right to live his life how he chooses. Anyone who has an issue is pathetic and needs to grow up and get lost. Wishing him all the best for a bright and fruitful future.
It’s crazy when Korean idols get so much heat about drugs and weed is legal in quite a few countries now. And idols who have SA and R word are out and making music
@@RoMayDrakoIt depends on the case. The latest dui case is proven to be exaggerated through fake news and fake cctv. Police never gave the information about alcohol level and the cctv is the scene of some random skooter driver. The newest one is legit abd
@@wildlotus4339Wait is that true? I read the alcohol level on the Yonhap news agency? And it was written that the police said it? Was that also wrong? If so he should sue.
No need drag suga in a totally unrelated video. when the fake footage came out the hate was insane , they literally sent 10-20 funeral flower bouquets size of a human in front of hybe to force him to leave the group and hybe had to make an official statement that he is not leaving. And all this for what for drunk driving an "electric kickboard" slower than the walking speed and falling down in front of his own house , before anything got released hybe and suga were first ones to apologize (I am not justifying his act but you can't ignore the amount of hate he got from his own fans).And if suga gets married I don't think the fans will leave him alone ....
@@tilikum.True Armys throw no hate, primarily antis pretending to be fans. This is so common in kpop. Knetziens seems to thrive on bullying and gossip. The crab in bucket mentality is crazy. I hope Big Bang do whatever they want regardless of what others think. They make good music and I'm pretty sure their fans will be there. SK is is just too toxic of a culture.
We know that TOP almost killed himself because of the scandals while under his enlistment. He couldn't handle all the hate with the knets. I still remember when he went live that he didn't want to be an idol in Korea, that's why I understand him that he doesn't want his name to be associated with the idol industry, that's why he block some VIP's who tagging him in a post regarding on the anniversary of BIGBANG. But i still support and cant wait to see him in squid game 2.
For real he will appear at squid game 2? Yes! Finally seeing him acting again...kinda miss him 😢 after those whole things happened to him...I hope that boy is fine. I remember how people criticized the mother for crying over him when he tried to kill himself..it was just heartbreaking and the hate comments was too much as well
I don't know what's going on so I won't judge anybody. T.O.P has very volatile emotions. He goes through periods of depression.We don't know what might be going on behind the scenes. If you are a V.I.P you know that he didn't just try to commit suicide when the scandal happened. He *allegedly* had tried it years before. They have been friends and colleagues, let them figure it out 🤷🏾
Fans should learn that these 5 or 4 dudes are still friends privately lol. They all just respect their boundaries in public and celebrity life. Plus, TOP already stated his future directions. If Gd and the rest can respect his decision. Why can't we? Be better and stop bothering him.
Well said.... Being in the spotlight certainly isn't easy. Not for nothing, I get the moods and broody moments FRFR, as a Scorpio too. His Birthday is the day before mine and we tend to lean into intensity. If he really cut them all off........ there is a reason. Maybe that was just publicly though. That has nothing to do with their relationship privately. Could be for the media and netizens to speculate on. Especially if he wants to distance himself from BigBang on SM. Could have something to do with him not receiving credits for any music he wrote before 2010..... which has more to do with YG having proprietorship over his material...... which is under BigBang's title. GD got all his song credits and stage name back from YG. Either way I really hope they're still close and moving towards whatever it is that brings them joy. ❤
It’s not like TOP doesn’t love Big Bang or his fans it’s just that the scandals wore him out. He has tried unaliving more than once..to my knowledge at least 3x He wasn’t doing well, even when he signed again for Alive he wasn’t sure he wanted to, I feel like the members promised to be 5 until the end but Seungri obviously broke that promise meaning the rest were free to choose. It’s almost like T.O.P. said No More. I can leave without guilt. Even when he told the fans you could literally feel himself un-burdening himself from the shackles that the name Big Bang implies. As a fan I wish to respect him and love and support him, it’s okay TOP. I want you to succeed, to marry have kids and to live in peace and happiness. That’s all I want for you. Thank you for the memories.
South Korean Netizens need some soul searching.Destroying peoples lives over marijuana,and every simple little normal life mistakes,is truly disgusting. How many suicides are you all responsible for? And the mean and hateful crap,still continues,,,Shame on you all.
the public hates the LYING and takes that more seriously than just smoking marijuana. the attitude matters. there are a bunch of celebs who are still very loved even after smoking pot. like Psy. Nobody is responsible for anyone's suicide. Suicide should never be sanctuarized because that is why kids grow up learning you will be honored for all the sins and troubles you made if you take your life away -very irresponsible-
@@jaynenyc1954They hate lying and then become murderers by bullying and harrashing the liars. Do you think a judgemental murder is an honorable deed ? I still think that somehow the ones who make someone else kill suicide will be held accountable.
@jaynenyc1954 I feel like you don't truly know how deep the topic of suicide is... No one unalive themselves coz they are irresponsible... I think you need to have a one on one conversation with a psychologist to get educated on how people can influence one's emotional state to the point of ending their own lives ( you seriously sound like you just tryna defend Korean netizens)
@@i.b3744 I do not condone or sympathize with suicides in general but I wasn't referring to all -like the ones with depression or hard living situations, I was referring to famous Korean ppl like former Seoul city mayor or Actor Lee Sun Gyun who kill themselves after being found out their illegal or indecent activities and still being under legal investigations, suddenly people blame others for their death and praise them like some heroes or saints who killed themselves after doing honorable stuff. this kind of culture will affect the little kids so that they can get away with being a good person with suicide after making trouble.
A very big shame on them, South Korean netizens that see dating between celebrities who are adults as a "Scandal", hating of Idols for weight gain and weight loss, vaping, smoking cigarettes, to be honest I'm disgusted.
I find a lot of Korean netizens are quite toxic but still want their idols to say nothing bad…and be perfect. I feel so sorry for all the idols and famous people in Korea dealing with this. There’s several idols ending themselves and nothing changes
This runs a parallel with what's happening to Suga right now, (what happened to T.O.P.). Does the Korean public never learn?? Particularly with Yoongi's vulnerability with his mental health.
OMG! I had the same thought but kinda hesitant to comment given the history of both fandoms. When T.O.P. was at the hospital, it's one of the most stressful moment for me as a K-Pop fan. Like I keep checking for updates even at work. I was so worried and scared for him then. I know he's a very sensitive and complicated person, and bound to be misunderstood by many. He's the type who never hold back with his thoughts and craft, but I felt like being an idol really suppressed him. Looking back, and given his history with depression, I was not surpised he turned to marijuana, since it's anti-depressant. Not the healthiest option, I know, and I"m not excusing his behavior, but I do understand where he's coming from. Whether he decide to reconcile with BIGBANG in the future, I just want him to find peace healing and happiness. I'm rooting for Yoongi also, though this seems to be a deja vu. I'm quite scared for him, and I hope he has enough support system around him. ❤
@@kerrim4799 I know Yoongi has huge respect for Taeyang and G-Dragon, so I choose to ignore the fan wars 😄 I can only imagine what it must have been like for fans when T.O.P. went through the wringer like that. I would hope, and like to believe, that Yoongi has done so much work on his mental health over the years, and he has been so open and vocal about it, that he is both strong enough to distance himself from something that so clearly isn't about him as a person anymore, and is surrounded by people who understand and protect him. Not saying that it's going to be easy, but at least to prevent the unthinkable...
I don't think BIGBANG themselves truly know their value & how impactful they are as a group. Been watching Daesung's reality shows these days & you can just see how in awe & honored his guests are to even be in his presence. They were & still is the blueprint to many of the current groups & KPOP has been shaped by their music. Prime BIGBANG, Kings of Kpop.
In all honesty, none of them owe anyone anything. They are human beings like we all are and we all go through life trying different things. Relationships are like coats. Some you will always keep. Some will wear out from overwear, some will go out of fashion, some won't fit anymore and others just don't make you feel good about yourself. For whatever reason, you will either choose to keep them or let them go. That is the nature of being a human being on the journey of life. What right does any fan have to insist that a person has 'one' career or that they should keep relationships they've outgrown? I think the issue is with the fans who make celebrities 'demi gods' in their lives.
Every time you bring up this Burning Sun thing, you yourself are being an internet bully. He was NEVER charged or convicted of any of the hateful things he's been accused of by people like you. Do your research. I'd love to see him start suing for defamation of character, but that's unfortunately not the Korean way. They just eat it and let the bullies run the show. Makes me sick.
I can only imagine how TOP feels. He was the oldest Hyeong, and with that lies a huge responsibility. As much as they all tried to warn Seungri I am sure TOP feels the most responsible in some way for his downfall. Things may have been said behind the scenes and feelings got hurt. Who knows what happened. It makes me happy to see TOP doing what is right for him after all the years he dedicated to the group, YG, and his fans. Are we disappointed BigBang won't be performing any time soon, sure. However, he is allowed to have a life beyond K-pop. After all these years I didn't like seeing GDragon just eliminate him. That's just petty childish behavior, just like the toxic fans. I wouldn't want to be a part of that kind of negativity as well, and it was best he blocked IG posts for his own wellbeing. You never know what someone is going through.
GD probably felt the worst about Seungri. He really tried the most with that guy. Diplomacy, giving him the best parts in the MADE album, screaming at him for that birthday party they weren't invited to (good for them for not being there). TOP at some point either was glaring at Seungri or throwing shade. As a fan, GD and TOP Imo, are the most affected by the hate and might have fought. It's a shame for the fans but maybe it's better for them.
@@Kpop-b1u Not to mention to put so many years of your life into something as a group of 5. Senguri's decisions not only effected him but the entire group and the trajectory of their careers and the financial aspects they depended on from BigBang. They could have continued on made great music and still packed arenas. It wouldn't be the same for them without Seungri. They tried with "Still Life" but it was probably too soon and the wounds still fresh. I am sure there are hurt feelings, blame, and most of all grief. They are hurting, It's best they take a break, live their lives and heal. I still think what GD putting a pic of only 3 on IG was uncalled for, but understand people do and say harsh things while grieving. The fans are hard enough, it will make things worse if they turn on each other too. I wish them all healing and peace
@@souljourney60 Seungri destroyed them as a group. They were always strong enough soloists and GD, TOP and Daesung def didn't just get rich thanks to music but also with investing. So they're "fine" but can't deny it's a huge burden to get over and besides Taeyang and Daesung, it doesn't look like they actually want careers anymore. It feels like they're just keeping busy. Taeyang is trying to rebuild their reputation but it's barely working. Still Life was a goodbye song. To me and many it was perfect. No chorus, very empty, comes full circle and not Kpop. It shows the lost potential and sounds almost hollow, as intended. It's not meant really to console but just to give closure. I don't think they wanted to come back after coachella was cancelled and TOP decided not to renew. Very sad but at least they closed the chapter on their own terms. I rewatched the 2005 docu a few weeks ago and Seungri will remain YG's worst choice. And about GD and TOP, well, good luck to them. I support both regardless. TOP really deserves a lot of love and GD had it quite hard too.
@@souljourney60 you're talking out your arse though when you blame GD for posting a pic of 3. Bigbang right now is 3 because TOP himself withdraw from the group, what do you want GD to do about it? Post a pic of 4? Top himself doesn't want to associate himself with the others so how can you blame GD for it? No one is at fault they just went their separate ways. You will never know their relationship behind the scene and so am i but don't try to create this story inside your head that they dislike each other. It bemused me
@@obriendenis3965 Thank you, I don't know why his blaming GD when TOP had blocked him and said he had withdrawn from the group and doesn't want to be associated with it. GD is only respecting his wishes.
TOP wants a life, S K has serious petty social negative media,. How the heck àre artist suppose to belong to fañs like they are suppose to never grow into grown asd men., Fans àwe too much. He said one time the nastiness towards him was too much and I agree.
@@codywilkins4532 bruh, and I thought Japan was bad. Man, honestly, the East Asian countries deserve each other. Ya know, despite the East Asians keep on mocking / insulting / South East Asians as brown monkeys, jungle dwellers, etc, the SEA region are lot of less barbaric in general in comparison. No wonder I've seen a number of them moving to the SEA area despite the money being not that great(cheaper to live even with minimum wage).
@@adamh4h4that’s why with kpop it’s nice to listen to. but the actual real-life everyday life of most people in South Korea/ Japan is not good. Kpop stans have this weird inability to acknowledge the negative aspects of Korea/ Japan/ Asian countries in general. Gender equality in Japan is super low and most sea countries will put you in jail if you get caught smoking marajuana. Heck even if you’re outside the country and you post a photo online of you smoking marajuana and the South Korean government finds out they can arrest you when you come back. What are some examples of eastern Asian countries vs southeast Asian countries though? I’m bad at eastern geography. Do you mean like Thailand and the Philippines? Because marajuana is legal in thailand
I hope they are all successful in their solo careers. Even if Big Bang never comes back as a group of 4, I'm still grateful they were my first KPop group and I hope they all can still be friends/acquaintances even if they do not perform together.
Has anyone thought that his cold attitude is due to mental unwellness? Netizens and fans are to damn controlling to artists. You must act like this, you must behave like this, this is the line you must walk even if you want to remove yourself from the spot light. If Top is still struggling with depression he might be pulling away from BB like you pull your hand away from a hot pan to prevent further burns.
I have cut off friends and a whole spcial scene because of some really messed up ppl within that scene. It wasnt because I dislike everyone in the scene but I have trauma and reminders mess with my head. I think that is why TOP cut so much of Big Bang and anything related out of his social media. He prob doesnt want his name sullied with the group reputation seeing as he also wants to move forward.
I remember when I was one of the only people that was defending GD when the media and practically everyone had already convicted him and was bashing him and I’m not even a VIP..I’m a ONCE. I read so many ignorant comments directed at him. It’s sickening how quickly people will jump on and off different bandwagons. From everything that I’ve witnessed it’s always Knets. I remember commenting that GD didn’t need to smoke bcuz he had / has a brilliant and creative mind and knew he wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize that. GD is eccentric and drugs would just slow his creative process down thus being a waste of his time. No matter what, I stuck to my guns and I was right about him. We all need to remember that Idols are people too. They have feelings just like we do. Yes, sometimes they make mistakes but so do we. Idols get on TH-cam just like us and so does their families and friends. They all read the supportive comments and they also read the horrible mean ignorant comments as well and sadly those are the ones that cut them to the bone. Those are the comments that break their hearts and makes them question everything. I don’t want to lose any more Idols to suicide. Just be nice and decent to them. Please
BIGBANG to this day is still glorified and respected. Once as five, then four, and now three. Their music will forever be remembered and hold a particular meaning and memory to all who grew up with it, fell in love with it, and became inspired by it. We're all individuals living this one life we have; all we can do and should do is hope we make the best of each day and survive the next one. We love, we let go, and we love again. I am grateful for BIGBANG and I want nothing more for each member to continue doing what they love and be able to live the life they want (publicly or privately). **Although as a VIP, I secretly want a CB, however far into the future with all respective members**
Social media is not a proof of friendship or relationships. One's account is his /our PERSONAL space. Ifwe deem it be good for our mental health then do it block or unfriend people from social media and atill be friends with them in REAL life.
This guy has made more sincere apologies over 4 instances of marijuana use yet still gets more hate over male idols who have s** assaulted women... what is wrong with people. Do we not agree that hurting another person (female fans) is worse than using even the hardest of drugs, let alone weed??
Okay chronically online fan here to add some information which maybe helpful for context. As of atleast June T.O.P and GD do not seem to have each other blocked- because T.O.Ps likes on GDs posts are visible currently. Now apparently this in itself isnt a sign of blocking according to instagram. Because if you block someone or are blocked, their likes don't get restored when you unblock them. Idk if its a verified feature or restrict feature or something
The guys are worn out. I miss all of them. T.O.P especially who was my biased for over a 15 years. Can you imagine having depression, attempting and then people tell you to get over it. Can't people just leave him alone?
Leave T.O.P. out of this. He has explicitly closed the door on that chapter of his life and rightfully so. And they did announce his leaving and included that he was going into acting. He even did a farewell song. It’s not his fault people missed that announcement. He’s done with ya’ll KNetz. You all treated him the worst with your nasty sns comments then expected him to then be happy in your presence?! FOH
Leave seunghyun alone.... These VIPs are mad that they got blocked when they've been bothering him since his statement and even tagging him in pics w s3ungri!!! Ofc they will got blocked. His rap in still life has signaled his departure and solo career.... Fuck everyone omfg.
I feel like that people need to go easy on him. I feel like that TOPs response is somewhat giving feelings of how a triggered person from trauma may respond. And based on the response from GD it doesn’t look like he has given up on rekindling the friendship with TOP either. We do not know who is in the wrong here or what really happened. And yes as fans it’s sad and heartbreaking to see our favourite group having a fall out especially after so many hardships and years of being together, but we need to not speculate and let them be as well. I just hope like GD that there’s a possibility for them to be 4 again one day. And honestly as a VIP I don’t think that I would want to ever see the group accepting Seungri again.
I think he has some kind of anxiety disorder.. could be PTSD, that anything associated with Bigbang has been associated with some kind of trauma he experienced. some people with anxiety dissociate themselves from anything that make them relive those experiences..
Top tried to take himself out due to harsh judgements of others. It got under his skin unfortunately. I don't blame him for saying f the fans and everybody else. He literally chose to put his mental health and himself 1st as he should. Some fans really need to touch grass, self reflect and seek therapy.
I think the new BBC film about BS scandal can be a reason too. It revoked an international wave of hate again. T.O.P even changed his name in Instagram not to be visible for public. I feel sorry for him and all the idols who's life was smashed by "fans" and haters. It's horrible. I think that international fan community must do something about it. So many talented people just suffer and loose their health, life for someone's hate. Korean entertainment industry isn't safe enough, nobody can build a beautiful culture on blood and suffering.
Every people makes mistakes but it is better to grant them wish to heal and opportunity to mend their heartache. We cannot judge why their friendship is like this now but to support each and every one of them and let them themselves to bind back again. I do agree SK netizens are worst and unforgivable
ex-VIP here. i have to say they’re not perfect and i’m disappointed with them. however i do know throughout their careers they’ve had it really hard. lets not forget they’re from Gen 2 of K-Pop. this industry was never easy but the first few generations had it extra hard and things were way more fucked up back then. i don’t stan them anymore but i wish for all five of them the best and that they heal. as much as i’ve went through countless of times being upset with them i don’t think they deserve being harassed. truthfully no one does. i hope people would leave them alone, bullying and sending hate is never the way to solve things. i’m a little scared for TOP and GD as they’ve struggled throughout their career. i genuinely pray for their mental health and hope that their depression is cured. coming from someone who’s depressed myself it’s a dark place to be in. imagine having that as a public figure in the South Korean entertainment industry…Korean celebrities are a lot stronger than we give then credits for.
I've been a fan of Big Bang for a long time and honestly I do not blame nor pass any judgement towards TOP I feel like most people might be making more out of the situation than it is cause one social media is not the only way to know if people are friends or not and two maybe he's trying to distance himself from the band so that he won't feel like that's what people only know him as or want him to just another member of Big Bang plus as a fan I know that they have gone through a lot as a group like when the neitzens attacked daesung during his unfortunate event causing him to go in to depression at the time the media as well as some of the toxic fan base can be ruthless so I will keep being a fan and wish each member including TOP well
K Netizens ...this all falls squarely on you. You need to evaluate your culture...values...there is a toxic cancer in the KCulture that needs to be addressed within. These fans act like tragic ex girl/boyfriends that cant let go... There is something profoundly pathetic about fans demanding things from stars.
honestly, so many things could have happened. we all know top is very volatile and sensitive plus he’s been through a lot. maybe they did have some beef, i dunno. he needs some time away from them to heal and grow, and we should accept that. i hope one fine day he finds it in himself to accept the members again though, it’s a shame to throw away such long and solid friendships
TOP has every right to block toxic fans especially since they didnt care about his health, but are quick to demand like hes some stage monkey to be forced to congratulate something that is a sore spot for him. We dont know what happened and the fact that fans are quick to drop him for something they absolutely know nothing about. I hope TOP is in a better place and may he find success somewhere especially on Squid Games S2. True fans understand and will wait and support.
I feel bad that people automatically judge what he’s doing. Has anybody ever thought that his company didn’t defend him when he was getting accused. And that the ones in the group are told what to do by said companies. So if they were told not to speak to him not to have any association with him, that’s what they did Because they are owned by the companies . TOP must have been really hurt not to have anyone in his corner. Netizens and fans need to be more understanding and respectful of his boundaries. Stop making it about all you all. This is a man who suffers from depression and anxiety, and who tried of an alive himself, and you guys are being petty as to why he’s not making any comments about Big Bang? How do you feel when you’re supposed friends turn their backs on you? Do you keep trying to make a relationship with them or do you move on? I really hope that he finds happiness and peace
sebagai fans cuma bisa berharap yang terbaik untuk mereka berempat, setidaknya walau TOP keluar dari bigbang, aku berharap pertemanan mereka tetap terjalin baik walau tidak terlihat kamera. aku berharap kebahagiaan kepada mereka ber empat. aku berharap mereka bisa sukses di jalan masing masing walau jalan TOP mungkin akan berbeda dengan yang lain. dan hanya bisa berharap bigbang bisa melakukan aktivitas group walau OT3 dan world tours concert sebelum mereka resmi disband. mudahan di anniversary 20 tahun bigbang mereka bisa concert lagi. aku akan terus menunggu kalian comeback dengan mendengar lagu kalian.
Honestly hearing what seungri did is pretty horrible. Guy had so much money and could have done great things with it. It's scary to hear that was going on while the group was still together. To think top or gd were involved. I would certainty hope not. As of September 6th 2024 gd changed his profile picture to a new picture of himself and he and the other 2 members all just got on stage and preformed. Maybe new music is coming our way again ❤🎉
I believe it is important to let people know when the mess up that they did mess up and not cover up for the . I also believe it is important to help them not to mess up again instead of using it to make their life miserable. That truly caring.
Maybe he just want to break off from the Big Bang identity and move on. He can decide for himself what he wants to do with his life. Would anyone of you like people following you around trying to tell you how to live your life and keep dragging you back to the past, maybe people want to move on so let them move on. You want to live your life the way you want, they have the right as well
BIGBANG is sooo gonna come back. Taeyang confirmed it on the latest video on ZIP Daesung that they're going to have NEW SONG. GD too confirmed it. Can't waitttt!
10:45 Yeah of cource he's getting paid.He gets money because he played a part in the success of the songs and he participated in writing lyrics. If your that butthurt over that then stop streaming songs.What a rude comment.
I was reluctant to watch this video because honestly the whole situation and all of the hardships BB has gone through really make me sad. It’s like these guys have spent their whole lives fighting and fighting to be able to do what they love, make music. How tiring! How frustrating! Considering all the accomplishments they were able to make, can you imagine how much more they could have done if unnecessary controversies and drama and even their military duties, and then the pandemic weren’t always getting in the way? Other groups wouldn’t have made it but somehow BB kept rising like a phoenix. There’s a little part of me that will keep hoping for a CB someday, and of course I pray that the four members can all feel proud of and at peace with one another. I like the quote you included about GD accepting the ups and downs of life. TOP has really had it rough and even though his behavior hurt some fans I am glad to see that many people (like most of the ones here in these comments) recognize that he needs some space and can be respectful of that.
All I know is VIPs has always stands with the menbers (TOP, GD, Taeyang and Daesung) doing their hardship so I could understand the fans and the way they felt because their was no official statement of TOP leaving the group, I mean it the least he could've done for VIPs who had stood by him, defending him and sending him love doing his scandals 4:05 so I could understand them because he left without goodbye. Also I understand TOP being upset with K Nets, but to be upset with VIPs who has done nothing, but stood by him and for him to get mad at them for asking him if he had left the band when their was no official statement is crazy and kind of disrespectful probably hurtful too. Anyways, I wish TOP luck and best in life plus the others members (GD, Taeyang and Daesung) too.
I don’t care. TOP GD YB & DS are soulmates. They’re brothers. Top cares for them and he’s always been a non conformist, headstrong BUT SENSITIVE and FEELS DEEPLY. real fans know.
If you're not really a fan of bigbang, you won't know what's happening.... As a fan of bigbang for so long,they talk about this in Their 10th year anniversarry especially in there bigbang boy's scouts run... TOP Really said that they eont stick up together coz they got different personality, they have other goals that they want to pursue in life. And if the time that they got the mutual feeling in music again they would do a comeback... So i think people who didnt been there for so long dont need to make opinion
I wish the best for BB. Our kings deserve all our love,support , loyalty and prayers. I wish they would reunite but whatever paths they choose ,we VIPS shld love them unconditionally ❤❤❤❤❤
They basically wanted to rub in his face that the other members were celebrating their 18 anniversary with out him. Those weren't his personal fans, but fans of Big Bang. Then they got pissed, when he wouldn't allow them to continue. He has every right to block anyone who he feels is posting or tagging him in things he clearly doesn't want to be associated with. We have no clue what happen between G dragon and T.o.p, even if T.o.p said that's it, I'm done with Big Bang, that is his right, its his life.
Big Bang was, is, and will be my favorite band. Although it breaks my heart not to have the chance to seeing them singing as a group again or listening to their disruptive and amazing music, I want each member to be happy and mentally and physically healthy. Knets are brutal and they don't deserve the hate. Thank you for the wonderful music and memories you gave VIPs! Long live the Kings of Kpop 👑 👑
I'm just happy he's still alive and well after all he gone through I'm thankful he's still active because if it was someone else they'll leave the industry the country in blink of eye non of these mofos who commented went through or faced what Top faced getting bullied and harassed from the whole nation the so called fans and on top of all that losing 3 friends nobody ever been strong like him to continue but bom they have the right to withdraw themselves anytime anywhere and no one has the right to judge them
Thanks for this summary, I didn't have a clue. Some of these comments that were mentioned in the video are just mean. Though I can't really understand why he shut out BB members and his past like he did, there must have been a huge hurting experience going on which I don't know about, which makes me really sad (not that I don't know but that it happened, they brought so much happiness). I can now understand he left it all behind and the fandom too. But I loved them together. TOP
Anyone who smokes weed in korea is really dumb. But it isn't a crime that hurts others. Getting that much hate is ridiculous. Seungri deserves the hate for his crimes. TOP does not.
damn I had no idea all this happened with Big Bang, I had wondered what happened to them after dropping Still Life then disappearing. I hope they're able to reunite and make music again one day
Fans need to realize that their favorite idols, any idol/celeb, is a human being with a personal life that does not include fans. The fans that tear their “favorite” idol down or not fans but insecure individuals.
I feel it's just a culmination of the controversies, online vitriol from some fans, and horrible incidents that have happened to him. I just T.O.P can pull through and keep his head high, I don't want more bad shit to happen to him, he's my favorite after all and I really like and respect him. And hope he enjoys future project's.
Top is so much 🧳 in his shoulder when he is young and fat till he become teenager and trainee So know wonder he doesn't want anything now.. Go top fighting 💪
Its fine. Im sure they will (4 of them) one day reminisce and maybe talk to each other to start soemthing or the other. Its common for groups that go through immense fame like this and have scandals at the level the media projected theirs to go through a period like this. I don't believe for a second that the 4 of them cut ties with each other. Theyre just going in their own paths for now as daesung said. Let them focus on that and when the time comes and if theyre ready to do something together it will come.
we dont know his mental state...it must be a great trauma for him to remove Big Bang word from his life...remove all the glory that he can be associate with to launch his solo career...to not talk about it anymore...some people keep mentioning their ex-group to keep relevant...but for him to delete everything must be big for him...just leave him alone if you dont want to support him anymore....
Why don't people just let Bigbang end? At some point everything comes to an end. People have to learn to accept this and let the artists move on with their lives.
I did exactly the same as T.O.P when I got married. I erase every trace of my past relationship. It doesn't mean that I can't move on or that I hate my exes, no, I am doing it for myself. TOP had darker days. I remember I cried when he brought out of the hospital on a wheelchair. The great TOP, was so vulnerable and humiliated. I said, TOP, dont ever show up in front of KNETZ again, just be happy and live your life fully, I am happy for you
Imo BigBang is the greatest kpop group ever. I really respected Seungri and T.O.P before their actions, even i can't justify them. Still can't understand some fans supporting person like Seungri till date. T.O.P situation is different though but he shouldn't have done all that. He's an amazing artist by himself but the chances were given to him just because he was a BigBang member, he should respect the group's name
Kings of their time, yes. Taeyang is amazing, not much from GDragon on the music side, but I would love to hear more music from him. Big Bang is over, but going solo is an option for them both. TOP has the right to live his life.
No he didn't retire as of now.There is news about his grand comeback in the 2nd half of 2024(well his comeback news has been going on for years now)Let's hope it's true.I mean it's the year of the dragon. @@Kpop-b1u
I think their brotherhood is still intact, they still hint about that. But they're not allowed to mention Seungri and TOP has been so burnt by the industry he wants nothing to do with it
In all honesty,i just want T.O.P to be happy and healthy. I grew up with Big bang (14-28 now) and they are my ult group. After everything that group has been through they all deserve happiness and health. I don't know what may be going on between T.O.P and the other members but its obvious that T.O.P is struggling with idol life after everything thats occured. I'm sure everything will eventually be straightend out between them and if that doesn't happen,then im just going to be happy that T.O.P is happy and okay.
Why can't you let that man TOP live? Leave him alone, I wouldn't want to be part of big thing either after all the drama they've been through, he's probably stressed as heck and man's almost committed You know what while in the group due to society pressures, leave that man alone and let him live in peace. He owes you nothing, he's an entertainer You don't own him.
Big Bang members have had quite a few scandals. But everyone is supporting them now. Now Suga is going through the same thing but his offense isn’t as serious but everyone is hating on him. I hope people especially VIPs remember how it felt when the members were going through these scandals. I am a Big Bang fan and I don’t care about their scandals I just care about their music. Do give Suga the same empty his scandal. He should not be kicked out of BTS just like no one except the one member was forced to leave Big Bang.

Well TOP said it before if he ever makes a comeback , it wont be in Korea.I believe K nets did him a lot of emotional damaged.
Knets destroy everything and everyone
Thats right! Cos before the pandemic BigBang was line up for Coachella so after that everything was a mess specially with YG, i hope when 2NE1 come back , he changed his mind
squid game is from korea too
@@shiion6711 that's not the point. He still love SK and I'm sure he's patriotic himself. But because knetz bully him too much to the point that he nearly took his own life he probably feels hurt too much by it he doesn't want to do things like promotions, interviews etc in Korea. Squid game also isn't exclusively for Korea only people watch the show all over the world.
@@obriendenis3965 so you are saying big bang members bully him so much that he have to block each and everyone of them also I didn't know big bang song are exclusive to Korea people only
So, they destroyed T.O.P's life over marijuana use. They harassed him so much that he tried to unalive himself knowing for a fact that he battles depression everyday. I'm trying to wrap my head around this. You know people still attack him on IG. However, fans shut them down quickly. He was supposed to go into space but that got canceled. He has new music coming out soon. His wine business seems to be doing well. He is getting back into acting (Squid Game 2 Dec. 26). Something happened that made T.O.P say No More Big Bang. Just leave him alone. Let him be. Time does heal.
Well Seungri happened. YG happened. YG really handled it the worst way possible. He stuck around long enough to crop that pic and write "I love my band. I love my fans". He started distancing himself from YG as soon as his contract was done. Since GD was the last one to leave YG and it was rumored, Yang hyun suk, was the one who tried to keep him around the most, then TOP MIGHT have had a disagreement with GD concerning how YG wanted to manage their activities/ brand as a group. Also, Yang Hyun Suk was involved in that case with Han Seo hee till 2023, might be related to that.
Yeah. So weird. Why they idolize snoop for smoking weed in his video hahahahaa
@@crisolivertan9700 which is exactly why i cant understand these people, they be kissing the western artists feet and listening to their music knowing full well they also smoking weed(and it's a damn plant) but scrutinize Top for it, mind you the reason he took them in the first place because he has sleepless night due to these people harassing them
It's Korea haha. Many of them is close minded. @@obriendenis3965
They come from a country where drugs are frowned upon, it’s not the same as other countries so kpop celebrities have to conform to Korea standards not worldwide standards. They are under such scrutiny and rules that anything they do wrong is blasted in the news
TOP has been so much in his life. It's understandable that he wants to seperate himself away from all this. Let the man live his life. Hopefully he has a successful future moving forward.
Well said.
Agreed.
TOP was my bias and I thought they enlisted in 2016 Also after the untimely passing of his friends Jonghyun, Sulli then Goo Hara TOP went live to say he will never perform in SK. The mentality of Knets is brutal and unforgiving. He has every right to live his life how he chooses. Anyone who has an issue is pathetic and needs to grow up and get lost. Wishing him all the best for a bright and fruitful future.
It’s crazy when Korean idols get so much heat about drugs and weed is legal in quite a few countries now. And idols who have SA and R word are out and making music
How about that one group that one member has a few DUIs and fans love him but the one that is married some want out.
@@RoMayDrakoIt depends on the case. The latest dui case is proven to be exaggerated through fake news and fake cctv. Police never gave the information about alcohol level and the cctv is the scene of some random skooter driver. The newest one is legit abd
@@wildlotus4339Wait is that true? I read the alcohol level on the Yonhap news agency? And it was written that the police said it? Was that also wrong? If so he should sue.
No need drag suga in a totally unrelated video. when the fake footage came out the hate was insane , they literally sent 10-20 funeral flower bouquets size of a human in front of hybe to force him to leave the group and hybe had to make an official statement that he is not leaving. And all this for what for drunk driving an "electric kickboard" slower than the walking speed and falling down in front of his own house , before anything got released hybe and suga were first ones to apologize (I am not justifying his act but you can't ignore the amount of hate he got from his own fans).And if suga gets married I don't think the fans will leave him alone ....
@@tilikum.True Armys throw no hate, primarily antis pretending to be fans. This is so common in kpop. Knetziens seems to thrive on bullying and gossip. The crab in bucket mentality is crazy. I hope Big Bang do whatever they want regardless of what others think. They make good music and I'm pretty sure their fans will be there. SK is is just too toxic of a culture.
We know that TOP almost killed himself because of the scandals while under his enlistment. He couldn't handle all the hate with the knets. I still remember when he went live that he didn't want to be an idol in Korea, that's why I understand him that he doesn't want his name to be associated with the idol industry, that's why he block some VIP's who tagging him in a post regarding on the anniversary of BIGBANG. But i still support and cant wait to see him in squid game 2.
For real he will appear at squid game 2? Yes! Finally seeing him acting again...kinda miss him 😢 after those whole things happened to him...I hope that boy is fine. I remember how people criticized the mother for crying over him when he tried to kill himself..it was just heartbreaking and the hate comments was too much as well
I'm happy that he's ALIVE and WELL. He can do whatever he wants in his account; block anyone.I just want him to be happy.
I don't know what's going on so I won't judge anybody. T.O.P has very volatile emotions. He goes through periods of depression.We don't know what might be going on behind the scenes.
If you are a V.I.P you know that he didn't just try to commit suicide when the scandal happened. He *allegedly* had tried it years before.
They have been friends and colleagues, let them figure it out 🤷🏾
You're right, for their fans to give them time and respect their wishes should be something to come naturally, hope they do so.
Fans should learn that these 5 or 4 dudes are still friends privately lol. They all just respect their boundaries in public and celebrity life. Plus, TOP already stated his future directions. If Gd and the rest can respect his decision. Why can't we? Be better and stop bothering him.
Well said.... Being in the spotlight certainly isn't easy. Not for nothing, I get the moods and broody moments FRFR, as a Scorpio too. His Birthday is the day before mine and we tend to lean into intensity. If he really cut them all off........ there is a reason. Maybe that was just publicly though. That has nothing to do with their relationship privately. Could be for the media and netizens to speculate on. Especially if he wants to distance himself from BigBang on SM. Could have something to do with him not receiving credits for any music he wrote before 2010..... which has more to do with YG having proprietorship over his material...... which is under BigBang's title. GD got all his song credits and stage name back from YG. Either way I really hope they're still close and moving towards whatever it is that brings them joy. ❤
It’s not like TOP doesn’t love Big Bang or his fans it’s just that the scandals wore him out.
He has tried unaliving more than once..to my knowledge at least 3x
He wasn’t doing well, even when he signed again for Alive he wasn’t sure he wanted to, I feel like the members promised to be 5 until the end but Seungri obviously broke that promise meaning the rest were free to choose. It’s almost like T.O.P. said No More. I can leave without guilt.
Even when he told the fans you could literally feel himself un-burdening himself from the shackles that the name Big Bang implies.
As a fan I wish to respect him and love and support him, it’s okay TOP.
I want you to succeed, to marry have kids and to live in peace and happiness. That’s all I want for you.
Thank you for the memories.
South Korean Netizens need some soul searching.Destroying peoples lives over marijuana,and every simple little normal life mistakes,is truly disgusting. How many suicides are you all responsible for? And the mean and hateful crap,still continues,,,Shame on you all.
the public hates the LYING and takes that more seriously than just smoking marijuana. the attitude matters. there are a bunch of celebs who are still very loved even after smoking pot. like Psy. Nobody is responsible for anyone's suicide. Suicide should never be sanctuarized because that is why kids grow up learning you will be honored for all the sins and troubles you made if you take your life away -very irresponsible-
@@jaynenyc1954They hate lying and then become murderers by bullying and harrashing the liars. Do you think a judgemental murder is an honorable deed ? I still think that somehow the ones who make someone else kill suicide will be held accountable.
@jaynenyc1954 I feel like you don't truly know how deep the topic of suicide is...
No one unalive themselves coz they are irresponsible...
I think you need to have a one on one conversation with a psychologist to get educated on how people can influence one's emotional state to the point of ending their own lives ( you seriously sound like you just tryna defend Korean netizens)
@@i.b3744 I do not condone or sympathize with suicides in general but I wasn't referring to all -like the ones with depression or hard living situations, I was referring to famous Korean ppl like former Seoul city mayor or Actor Lee Sun Gyun who kill themselves after being found out their illegal or indecent activities and still being under legal investigations, suddenly people blame others for their death and praise them like some heroes or saints who killed themselves after doing honorable stuff. this kind of culture will affect the little kids so that they can get away with being a good person with suicide after making trouble.
A very big shame on them, South Korean netizens that see dating between celebrities who are adults as a "Scandal", hating of Idols for weight gain and weight loss, vaping, smoking cigarettes, to be honest I'm disgusted.
this kind of toxicity is too much for 1 person. why people act all holy and perfect? yikes to all that engage in this kind of online bullying
Those are not fans… Let them grow!! Sending love and strength from USA.
I find a lot of Korean netizens are quite toxic but still want their idols to say nothing bad…and be perfect. I feel so sorry for all the idols and famous people in Korea dealing with this. There’s several idols ending themselves and nothing changes
I am sending T.O.P prayers.
This runs a parallel with what's happening to Suga right now, (what happened to T.O.P.). Does the Korean public never learn?? Particularly with Yoongi's vulnerability with his mental health.
T.O.P didn't deserve all that.
G-Dragon didn't deserve all that.
Suga doesn't deserve all this.
@@nina19733 Couldn't have said it better.
@@nina19733
wonho didnt deserve all that.
soojin didnt deserve all that.
garam didnt deserve all that.
ilhoon didnt deserve all that.
OMG! I had the same thought but kinda hesitant to comment given the history of both fandoms.
When T.O.P. was at the hospital, it's one of the most stressful moment for me as a K-Pop fan. Like I keep checking for updates even at work. I was so worried and scared for him then. I know he's a very sensitive and complicated person, and bound to be misunderstood by many. He's the type who never hold back with his thoughts and craft, but I felt like being an idol really suppressed him. Looking back, and given his history with depression, I was not surpised he turned to marijuana, since it's anti-depressant. Not the healthiest option, I know, and I"m not excusing his behavior, but I do understand where he's coming from. Whether he decide to reconcile with BIGBANG in the future, I just want him to find peace healing and happiness.
I'm rooting for Yoongi also, though this seems to be a deja vu. I'm quite scared for him, and I hope he has enough support system around him. ❤
@@kerrim4799 I know Yoongi has huge respect for Taeyang and G-Dragon, so I choose to ignore the fan wars 😄 I can only imagine what it must have been like for fans when T.O.P. went through the wringer like that.
I would hope, and like to believe, that Yoongi has done so much work on his mental health over the years, and he has been so open and vocal about it, that he is both strong enough to distance himself from something that so clearly isn't about him as a person anymore, and is surrounded by people who understand and protect him. Not saying that it's going to be easy, but at least to prevent the unthinkable...
I don't think BIGBANG themselves truly know their value & how impactful they are as a group. Been watching Daesung's reality shows these days & you can just see how in awe & honored his guests are to even be in his presence. They were & still is the blueprint to many of the current groups & KPOP has been shaped by their music. Prime BIGBANG, Kings of Kpop.
In all honesty, none of them owe anyone anything. They are human beings like we all are and we all go through life trying different things. Relationships are like coats. Some you will always keep. Some will wear out from overwear, some will go out of fashion, some won't fit anymore and others just don't make you feel good about yourself. For whatever reason, you will either choose to keep them or let them go. That is the nature of being a human being on the journey of life. What right does any fan have to insist that a person has 'one' career or that they should keep relationships they've outgrown? I think the issue is with the fans who make celebrities 'demi gods' in their lives.
I'll take Mary Jane use over Burning Sun crimes. The latter is more disgusting.
Every time you bring up this Burning Sun thing, you yourself are being an internet bully. He was NEVER charged or convicted of any of the hateful things he's been accused of by people like you. Do your research. I'd love to see him start suing for defamation of character, but that's unfortunately not the Korean way. They just eat it and let the bullies run the show. Makes me sick.
@@renees1211dawg it was his club you're actually a little bit demented if you think seungri wasn't involved at all
I can only imagine how TOP feels. He was the oldest Hyeong, and with that lies a huge responsibility. As much as they all tried to warn Seungri I am sure TOP feels the most responsible in some way for his downfall. Things may have been said behind the scenes and feelings got hurt. Who knows what happened. It makes me happy to see TOP doing what is right for him after all the years he dedicated to the group, YG, and his fans. Are we disappointed BigBang won't be performing any time soon, sure. However, he is allowed to have a life beyond K-pop. After all these years I didn't like seeing GDragon just eliminate him. That's just petty childish behavior, just like the toxic fans. I wouldn't want to be a part of that kind of negativity as well, and it was best he blocked IG posts for his own wellbeing. You never know what someone is going through.
GD probably felt the worst about Seungri. He really tried the most with that guy. Diplomacy, giving him the best parts in the MADE album, screaming at him for that birthday party they weren't invited to (good for them for not being there). TOP at some point either was glaring at Seungri or throwing shade. As a fan, GD and TOP Imo, are the most affected by the hate and might have fought. It's a shame for the fans but maybe it's better for them.
@@Kpop-b1u Not to mention to put so many years of your life into something as a group of 5. Senguri's decisions not only effected him but the entire group and the trajectory of their careers and the financial aspects they depended on from BigBang. They could have continued on made great music and still packed arenas. It wouldn't be the same for them without Seungri. They tried with "Still Life" but it was probably too soon and the wounds still fresh. I am sure there are hurt feelings, blame, and most of all grief. They are hurting, It's best they take a break, live their lives and heal. I still think what GD putting a pic of only 3 on IG was uncalled for, but understand people do and say harsh things while grieving. The fans are hard enough, it will make things worse if they turn on each other too. I wish them all healing and peace
@@souljourney60 Seungri destroyed them as a group. They were always strong enough soloists and GD, TOP and Daesung def didn't just get rich thanks to music but also with investing. So they're "fine" but can't deny it's a huge burden to get over and besides Taeyang and Daesung, it doesn't look like they actually want careers anymore. It feels like they're just keeping busy. Taeyang is trying to rebuild their reputation but it's barely working. Still Life was a goodbye song. To me and many it was perfect. No chorus, very empty, comes full circle and not Kpop. It shows the lost potential and sounds almost hollow, as intended. It's not meant really to console but just to give closure. I don't think they wanted to come back after coachella was cancelled and TOP decided not to renew. Very sad but at least they closed the chapter on their own terms. I rewatched the 2005 docu a few weeks ago and Seungri will remain YG's worst choice. And about GD and TOP, well, good luck to them. I support both regardless. TOP really deserves a lot of love and GD had it quite hard too.
@@souljourney60 you're talking out your arse though when you blame GD for posting a pic of 3. Bigbang right now is 3 because TOP himself withdraw from the group, what do you want GD to do about it? Post a pic of 4? Top himself doesn't want to associate himself with the others so how can you blame GD for it? No one is at fault they just went their separate ways. You will never know their relationship behind the scene and so am i but don't try to create this story inside your head that they dislike each other. It bemused me
@@obriendenis3965 Thank you, I don't know why his blaming GD when TOP had blocked him and said he had withdrawn from the group and doesn't want to be associated with it. GD is only respecting his wishes.
Kpop stans say “huhu idols are human too… “ but jumps to hate on another idol they dont like , the next day. Scandal hungry hypocrites.
TOP wants a life, S K has serious petty social negative media,. How the heck àre artist suppose to belong to fañs like they are suppose to never grow into grown asd men., Fans àwe too much. He said one time the nastiness towards him was too much and I agree.
When smoking marijuana gets more severe punishment than R - wording someone 😑
That’s South Korean law logic for you
@@codywilkins4532 bruh, and I thought Japan was bad. Man, honestly, the East Asian countries deserve each other. Ya know, despite the East Asians keep on mocking / insulting / South East Asians as brown monkeys, jungle dwellers, etc, the SEA region are lot of less barbaric in general in comparison. No wonder I've seen a number of them moving to the SEA area despite the money being not that great(cheaper to live even with minimum wage).
@@adamh4h4that’s why with kpop it’s nice to listen to. but the actual real-life everyday life of most people in South Korea/ Japan is not good. Kpop stans have this weird inability to acknowledge the negative aspects of Korea/ Japan/ Asian countries in general. Gender equality in Japan is super low and most sea countries will put you in jail if you get caught smoking marajuana. Heck even if you’re outside the country and you post a photo online of you smoking marajuana and the South Korean government finds out they can arrest you when you come back. What are some examples of eastern Asian countries vs southeast Asian countries though? I’m bad at eastern geography. Do you mean like Thailand and the Philippines? Because marajuana is legal in thailand
I hope they are all successful in their solo careers. Even if Big Bang never comes back as a group of 4, I'm still grateful they were my first KPop group and I hope they all can still be friends/acquaintances even if they do not perform together.
Has anyone thought that his cold attitude is due to mental unwellness? Netizens and fans are to damn controlling to artists. You must act like this, you must behave like this, this is the line you must walk even if you want to remove yourself from the spot light. If Top is still struggling with depression he might be pulling away from BB like you pull your hand away from a hot pan to prevent further burns.
I have cut off friends and a whole spcial scene because of some really messed up ppl within that scene. It wasnt because I dislike everyone in the scene but I have trauma and reminders mess with my head. I think that is why TOP cut so much of Big Bang and anything related out of his social media. He prob doesnt want his name sullied with the group reputation seeing as he also wants to move forward.
Big Bang is no more. We VIP are sad but shit happens I guess.
TOP owes no one an explanation for what he is doing. Especially with all the shit they put him through. Just leave the poor guy alone.
I remember when I was one of the only people that was defending GD when the media and practically everyone had already convicted him and was bashing him and I’m not even a VIP..I’m a ONCE. I read so many ignorant comments directed at him. It’s sickening how quickly people will jump on and off different bandwagons. From everything that I’ve witnessed it’s always Knets. I remember commenting that GD didn’t need to smoke bcuz he had / has a brilliant and creative mind and knew he wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize that. GD is eccentric and drugs would just slow his creative process down thus being a waste of his time. No matter what, I stuck to my guns and I was right about him. We all need to remember that Idols are people too. They have feelings just like we do. Yes, sometimes they make mistakes but so do we. Idols get on TH-cam just like us and so does their families and friends. They all read the supportive comments and they also read the horrible mean ignorant comments as well and sadly those are the ones that cut them to the bone. Those are the comments that break their hearts and makes them question everything. I don’t want to lose any more Idols to suicide. Just be nice and decent to them. Please
And GD was completely innocent too 💛
funny cause many people smoke or take other substances cause it helps with their creativity.
Thankyou for defending our GD I'm happy you defend him when others are mocking him you're such a nice person thankyou and lots of love from a VIP..🎀💕✨
BIGBANG to this day is still glorified and respected. Once as five, then four, and now three. Their music will forever be remembered and hold a particular meaning and memory to all who grew up with it, fell in love with it, and became inspired by it. We're all individuals living this one life we have; all we can do and should do is hope we make the best of each day and survive the next one. We love, we let go, and we love again. I am grateful for BIGBANG and I want nothing more for each member to continue doing what they love and be able to live the life they want (publicly or privately). **Although as a VIP, I secretly want a CB, however far into the future with all respective members**
What is a CB?

I just wanna go back to 14 and listen to haru haru for the First time again sigh..
People never learn even after so many idols died.
I’m literally in tears over this. 16yrs of my life I have loved this group. 😢
Social media is not a proof of friendship or relationships. One's account is his /our PERSONAL space. Ifwe deem it be good for our mental health then do it block or unfriend people from social media and atill be friends with them in REAL life.
Exactly, like people judge of both Top and Gd relationship based on them not following each other like wtf?
This.
This guy has made more sincere apologies over 4 instances of marijuana use yet still gets more hate over male idols who have s** assaulted women... what is wrong with people. Do we not agree that hurting another person (female fans) is worse than using even the hardest of drugs, let alone weed??
Okay chronically online fan here to add some information which maybe helpful for context. As of atleast June T.O.P and GD do not seem to have each other blocked- because T.O.Ps likes on GDs posts are visible currently.
Now apparently this in itself isnt a sign of blocking according to instagram.
Because if you block someone or are blocked, their likes don't get restored when you unblock them.
Idk if its a verified feature or restrict feature or something
Ah true maybe restricted only..yes once blocked likes and comments are not visible ..all totally gone..what are their IG
The guys are worn out. I miss all of them.
T.O.P especially who was my biased for over a 15 years.
Can you imagine having depression, attempting and then people tell you to get over it.
Can't people just leave him alone?
Leave T.O.P. out of this. He has explicitly closed the door on that chapter of his life and rightfully so. And they did announce his leaving and included that he was going into acting. He even did a farewell song. It’s not his fault people missed that announcement. He’s done with ya’ll KNetz. You all treated him the worst with your nasty sns comments then expected him to then be happy in your presence?! FOH
We all know who ruined Big Bang and it wasn't TOP.
Leave seunghyun alone.... These VIPs are mad that they got blocked when they've been bothering him since his statement and even tagging him in pics w s3ungri!!! Ofc they will got blocked. His rap in still life has signaled his departure and solo career.... Fuck everyone omfg.
I feel like that people need to go easy on him. I feel like that TOPs response is somewhat giving feelings of how a triggered person from trauma may respond. And based on the response from GD it doesn’t look like he has given up on rekindling the friendship with TOP either. We do not know who is in the wrong here or what really happened. And yes as fans it’s sad and heartbreaking to see our favourite group having a fall out especially after so many hardships and years of being together, but we need to not speculate and let them be as well. I just hope like GD that there’s a possibility for them to be 4 again one day. And honestly as a VIP I don’t think that I would want to ever see the group accepting Seungri again.
I think he has some kind of anxiety disorder.. could be PTSD, that anything associated with Bigbang has been associated with some kind of trauma he experienced. some people with anxiety dissociate themselves from anything that make them relive those experiences..
Who knows what happened. Sometimes a person needs to break away and burn some bridges to heal and get on with life. I'm not going to judge T.O.P.
Top tried to take himself out due to harsh judgements of others. It got under his skin unfortunately. I don't blame him for saying f the fans and everybody else. He literally chose to put his mental health and himself 1st as he should. Some fans really need to touch grass, self reflect and seek therapy.
Even when they're not currently make album or songs,, people just can't shut up.. Just leave them alone in their life...
I think the new BBC film about BS scandal can be a reason too. It revoked an international wave of hate again. T.O.P even changed his name in Instagram not to be visible for public. I feel sorry for him and all the idols who's life was smashed by "fans" and haters. It's horrible.
I think that international fan community must do something about it. So many talented people just suffer and loose their health, life for someone's hate. Korean entertainment industry isn't safe enough, nobody can build a beautiful culture on blood and suffering.
Every people makes mistakes but it is better to grant them wish to heal and opportunity to mend their heartache. We cannot judge why their friendship is like this now but to support each and every one of them and let them themselves to bind back again. I do agree SK netizens are worst and unforgivable
ex-VIP here. i have to say they’re not perfect and i’m disappointed with them. however i do know throughout their careers they’ve had it really hard. lets not forget they’re from Gen 2 of K-Pop. this industry was never easy but the first few generations had it extra hard and things were way more fucked up back then. i don’t stan them anymore but i wish for all five of them the best and that they heal. as much as i’ve went through countless of times being upset with them i don’t think they deserve being harassed. truthfully no one does. i hope people would leave them alone, bullying and sending hate is never the way to solve things. i’m a little scared for TOP and GD as they’ve struggled throughout their career. i genuinely pray for their mental health and hope that their depression is cured. coming from someone who’s depressed myself it’s a dark place to be in. imagine having that as a public figure in the South Korean entertainment industry…Korean celebrities are a lot stronger than we give then credits for.
I've been a fan of Big Bang for a long time and honestly I do not blame nor pass any judgement towards TOP I feel like most people might be making more out of the situation than it is cause one social media is not the only way to know if people are friends or not and two maybe he's trying to distance himself from the band so that he won't feel like that's what people only know him as or want him to just another member of Big Bang plus as a fan I know that they have gone through a lot as a group like when the neitzens attacked daesung during his unfortunate event causing him to go in to depression at the time the media as well as some of the toxic fan base can be ruthless so I will keep being a fan and wish each member including TOP well
K Netizens
...this all falls squarely on you. You need to evaluate your culture...values...there is a toxic cancer in the KCulture that needs to be addressed within. These fans act like tragic ex girl/boyfriends that cant let go...
There is something profoundly pathetic about fans demanding things from stars.
with Seungri still doing suspicious activities even after that Burning Sun Scandal....I doubt if they will ever have a comeback
He is no longer associated with bb
honestly, so many things could have happened. we all know top is very volatile and sensitive plus he’s been through a lot. maybe they did have some beef, i dunno. he needs some time away from them to heal and grow, and we should accept that. i hope one fine day he finds it in himself to accept the members again though, it’s a shame to throw away such long and solid friendships
TOP has every right to block toxic fans especially since they didnt care about his health, but are quick to demand like hes some stage monkey to be forced to congratulate something that is a sore spot for him. We dont know what happened and the fact that fans are quick to drop him for something they absolutely know nothing about. I hope TOP is in a better place and may he find success somewhere especially on Squid Games S2. True fans understand and will wait and support.
I feel bad that people automatically judge what he’s doing. Has anybody ever thought that his company didn’t defend him when he was getting accused. And that the ones in the group are told what to do by said companies. So if they were told not to speak to him not to have any association with him, that’s what they did Because they are owned by the companies . TOP must have been really hurt not to have anyone in his corner. Netizens and fans need to be more understanding and respectful of his boundaries. Stop making it about all you all. This is a man who suffers from depression and anxiety, and who tried of an alive himself, and you guys are being petty as to why he’s not making any comments about Big Bang? How do you feel when you’re supposed friends turn their backs on you? Do you keep trying to make a relationship with them or do you move on? I really hope that he finds happiness and peace
I like top acting ❤
sebagai fans cuma bisa berharap yang terbaik untuk mereka berempat, setidaknya walau TOP keluar dari bigbang, aku berharap pertemanan mereka tetap terjalin baik walau tidak terlihat kamera. aku berharap kebahagiaan kepada mereka ber empat. aku berharap mereka bisa sukses di jalan masing masing walau jalan TOP mungkin akan berbeda dengan yang lain. dan hanya bisa berharap bigbang bisa melakukan aktivitas group walau OT3 dan world tours concert sebelum mereka resmi disband. mudahan di anniversary 20 tahun bigbang mereka bisa concert lagi. aku akan terus menunggu kalian comeback dengan mendengar lagu kalian.
South Korea netizens basically killed bigbang 😒
I love Top❤ 🙏🏼much success in your future ❤
Honestly hearing what seungri did is pretty horrible. Guy had so much money and could have done great things with it.
It's scary to hear that was going on while the group was still together. To think top or gd were involved. I would certainty hope not.
As of September 6th 2024 gd changed his profile picture to a new picture of himself and he and the other 2 members all just got on stage and preformed. Maybe new music is coming our way again ❤🎉
I believe it is important to let people know when the mess up that they did mess up and not cover up for the . I also believe it is important to help them not to mess up again instead of using it to make their life miserable. That truly caring.
I’m a forever VIP. I love their music. I stop listening to K-pop when BigBang ended.
Maybe he just want to break off from the Big Bang identity and move on. He can decide for himself what he wants to do with his life. Would anyone of you like people following you around trying to tell you how to live your life and keep dragging you back to the past, maybe people want to move on so let them move on. You want to live your life the way you want, they have the right as well
as VIP we know Tabi well, let him be ☺️
BIGBANG is sooo gonna come back. Taeyang confirmed it on the latest video on ZIP Daesung that they're going to have NEW SONG. GD too confirmed it. Can't waitttt!
10:45 Yeah of cource he's getting paid.He gets money because he played a part in the success of the songs and he participated in writing lyrics.
If your that butthurt over that then stop streaming songs.What a rude comment.
I was reluctant to watch this video because honestly the whole situation and all of the hardships BB has gone through really make me sad. It’s like these guys have spent their whole lives fighting and fighting to be able to do what they love, make music. How tiring! How frustrating! Considering all the accomplishments they were able to make, can you imagine how much more they could have done if unnecessary controversies and drama and even their military duties, and then the pandemic weren’t always getting in the way? Other groups wouldn’t have made it but somehow BB kept rising like a phoenix. There’s a little part of me that will keep hoping for a CB someday, and of course I pray that the four members can all feel proud of and at peace with one another. I like the quote you included about GD accepting the ups and downs of life. TOP has really had it rough and even though his behavior hurt some fans I am glad to see that many people (like most of the ones here in these comments) recognize that he needs some space and can be respectful of that.
All I know is VIPs has always stands with the menbers (TOP, GD, Taeyang and Daesung) doing their hardship so I could understand the fans and the way they felt because their was no official statement of TOP leaving the group, I mean it the least he could've done for VIPs who had stood by him, defending him and sending him love doing his scandals 4:05 so I could understand them because he left without goodbye. Also I understand TOP being upset with K Nets, but to be upset with VIPs who has done nothing, but stood by him and for him to get mad at them for asking him if he had left the band when their was no official statement is crazy and kind of disrespectful probably hurtful too. Anyways, I wish TOP luck and best in life plus the others members (GD, Taeyang and Daesung) too.
I don’t care. TOP GD YB & DS are soulmates. They’re brothers. Top cares for them and he’s always been a non conformist, headstrong BUT SENSITIVE and FEELS DEEPLY. real fans know.
Subs TOP is fragile.... and sensitive....
His a great actor I love his acting in commitment ❤
If you're not really a fan of bigbang, you won't know what's happening....
As a fan of bigbang for so long,they talk about this in Their 10th year anniversarry especially in there bigbang boy's scouts run...
TOP Really said that they eont stick up together coz they got different personality, they have other goals that they want to pursue in life. And if the time that they got the mutual feeling in music again they would do a comeback...
So i think people who didnt been there for so long dont need to make opinion
my bias 😢 its ok to quit as an idol.. as long as you happy TOP. ❤
I wish the best for BB. Our kings deserve all our love,support , loyalty and prayers. I wish they would reunite but whatever paths they choose ,we VIPS shld love them unconditionally ❤❤❤❤❤
They basically wanted to rub in his face that the other members were celebrating their 18 anniversary with out him. Those weren't his personal fans, but fans of Big Bang. Then they got pissed, when he wouldn't allow them to continue. He has every right to block anyone who he feels is posting or tagging him in things he clearly doesn't want to be associated with. We have no clue what happen between G dragon and T.o.p, even if T.o.p said that's it, I'm done with Big Bang, that is his right, its his life.
Choi Seung Hyun i love you forever. I support you forever. Please be happy. Youve done so much already and deserve to live exactly how you choose
Big Bang was, is, and will be my favorite band. Although it breaks my heart not to have the chance to seeing them singing as a group again or listening to their disruptive and amazing music, I want each member to be happy and mentally and physically healthy. Knets are brutal and they don't deserve the hate. Thank you for the wonderful music and memories you gave VIPs! Long live the Kings of Kpop 👑 👑
I'm just happy he's still alive and well after all he gone through I'm thankful he's still active because if it was someone else they'll leave the industry the country in blink of eye non of these mofos who commented went through or faced what Top faced getting bullied and harassed from the whole nation the so called fans and on top of all that losing 3 friends nobody ever been strong like him to continue but bom they have the right to withdraw themselves anytime anywhere and no one has the right to judge them
Thanks for this summary, I didn't have a clue. Some of these comments that were mentioned in the video are just mean. Though I can't really understand why he shut out BB members and his past like he did, there must have been a huge hurting experience going on which I don't know about, which makes me really sad (not that I don't know but that it happened, they brought so much happiness). I can now understand he left it all behind and the fandom too. But I loved them together. TOP
After what the press did to him and the way fans "stood behind" when he was going through the scandal, i'm not surprised he reacted the way he did.
Anyone who smokes weed in korea is really dumb. But it isn't a crime that hurts others. Getting that much hate is ridiculous. Seungri deserves the hate for his crimes. TOP does not.
damn I had no idea all this happened with Big Bang, I had wondered what happened to them after dropping Still Life then disappearing. I hope they're able to reunite and make music again one day
Fans need to realize that their favorite idols, any idol/celeb, is a human being with a personal life that does not include fans. The fans that tear their “favorite” idol down or not fans but insecure individuals.
How does one lance bass😂
I feel it's just a culmination of the controversies, online vitriol from some fans, and horrible incidents that have happened to him. I just T.O.P can pull through and keep his head high, I don't want more bad shit to happen to him, he's my favorite after all and I really like and respect him. And hope he enjoys future project's.
Grateful that I got to see BigBang in concert years ago. Sad that it may never happen again.
Top is so much 🧳 in his shoulder when he is young and fat till he become teenager and trainee
So know wonder he doesn't want anything now..
Go top fighting 💪
You spend so much time on the troubles top and GD had but you gloss over the Human Trafficking and SA? Really?
I have made so many videos about Seungri and what he has done.
noone was accused of human trafficking or SA, what tf are you even talking about?!
Its fine. Im sure they will (4 of them) one day reminisce and maybe talk to each other to start soemthing or the other. Its common for groups that go through immense fame like this and have scandals at the level the media projected theirs to go through a period like this. I don't believe for a second that the 4 of them cut ties with each other. Theyre just going in their own paths for now as daesung said. Let them focus on that and when the time comes and if theyre ready to do something together it will come.
we dont know his mental state...it must be a great trauma for him to remove Big Bang word from his life...remove all the glory that he can be associate with to launch his solo career...to not talk about it anymore...some people keep mentioning their ex-group to keep relevant...but for him to delete everything must be big for him...just leave him alone if you dont want to support him anymore....
BIG BANG LEGACY KINGS OF KPOP!!!❤
SB19 LEGACY
KINGS OF PPOP!!!❤
😂
Why didn't yg protect bigbang ?
Why don't people just let Bigbang end? At some point everything comes to an end. People have to learn to accept this and let the artists move on with their lives.
I did exactly the same as T.O.P when I got married. I erase every trace of my past relationship. It doesn't mean that I can't move on or that I hate my exes, no, I am doing it for myself. TOP had darker days. I remember I cried when he brought out of the hospital on a wheelchair. The great TOP, was so vulnerable and humiliated. I said, TOP, dont ever show up in front of KNETZ again, just be happy and live your life fully, I am happy for you
Imo BigBang is the greatest kpop group ever. I really respected Seungri and T.O.P before their actions, even i can't justify them. Still can't understand some fans supporting person like Seungri till date. T.O.P situation is different though but he shouldn't have done all that. He's an amazing artist by himself but the chances were given to him just because he was a BigBang member, he should respect the group's name
let TOP live his life
Kings of their time, yes. Taeyang is amazing, not much from GDragon on the music side, but I would love to hear more music from him.
Big Bang is over, but going solo is an option for them both. TOP has the right to live his life.
GD has the most prolific solo career actually. But he's been on hiatus since 2017. He might have retired.
No he didn't retire as of now.There is news about his grand comeback in the 2nd half of 2024(well his comeback news has been going on for years now)Let's hope it's true.I mean it's the year of the dragon. @@Kpop-b1u
I think their brotherhood is still intact, they still hint about that. But they're not allowed to mention Seungri and TOP has been so burnt by the industry he wants nothing to do with it
In all honesty,i just want T.O.P to be happy and healthy. I grew up with Big bang (14-28 now) and they are my ult group. After everything that group has been through they all deserve happiness and health. I don't know what may be going on between T.O.P and the other members but its obvious that T.O.P is struggling with idol life after everything thats occured. I'm sure everything will eventually be straightend out between them and if that doesn't happen,then im just going to be happy that T.O.P is happy and okay.
I still listen to their music, it's not the entire band, it's individuals. The music doesn't change, people change.
Why can't you let that man TOP live? Leave him alone, I wouldn't want to be part of big thing either after all the drama they've been through, he's probably stressed as heck and man's almost committed You know what while in the group due to society pressures, leave that man alone and let him live in peace. He owes you nothing, he's an entertainer You don't own him.
Big Bang members have had quite a few scandals. But everyone is supporting them now. Now Suga is going through the same thing but his offense isn’t as serious but everyone is hating on him. I hope people especially VIPs remember how it felt when the members were going through these scandals. I am a Big Bang fan and I don’t care about their scandals I just care about their music. Do give Suga the same empty his scandal. He should not be kicked out of BTS just like no one except the one member was forced to leave Big Bang.
Hoping for all of them to get back together again😢
