![Seungri Retires / Jung Joonyoung Spycam Exposed / BTS & Park Bom Comeback [D-K News]](/img/n.gif)
Wasn’t there something about one of his “roommates “ at the military base who would spy on him and send informations about him to his girlfriend? And that’s why he was given a private room at the hospital
ines hclexo exactly
ines hclexo why would he be with a girl that wants someone to spy on him??! Wtf
Maria C he’s talking about the spyer’s girlfriend not GD’s...
Azn oh LMAO
his girl friend is After school singer , now actress
Jiyong was always depressed dude, he never tried to hide that, which is probably why the military did that investigation. Can Koreans just understand that celebrities are humans too?
I totally agree with you. This goes beyond his knee injuries or any other physical situation. The investigation must have been about his mental health. This country needs so much help regarding mental health but not much is being done. Even I, as a foreigner in Korea sometimes get depressed and I have no idea how to handle it or where to look for help. It's serious. Celebrities have it rough too. I don't think just because he is the amazing G Dragon he's gonna be having an easy time in the military. He's human just like the other people serving.
'Can Koreans just understand that celebrities are humans too?' It's not just the Koreans, even though I think that the Korean Media sometimes is a bit more dramatic than other countries when it comes to things like scandals and the 'who is dating who' question.
But if you look at fans from other countries and what they want from their idols and celebrities, there really isn't much of a different, sadly.
Yes, they're human too. I always think that knetizen are over and cannot be tolerated.
I think so too.if you watch hello counselor(korean tv show).there is a problem that causing by the people have depression or mental health.but i think they didnt aware and think about that this way and only blame their behaviour.its frustrated when them cannot identify the real causes for the problem and just take it lightly
@@sitiaishah8132 I WISH Knetz were over
1 ) Gd is not an ordinary celebrity
2 ) He always suffered and struggled with depression issues
3) After his motte tour he lost a lot of wieght and u all can see how skinny he is
4) In one of the concerts he injured his ankle and neglected it so because of military training it will obviously be worst and need a surgery , he also suffered from tendinitis in his shoulder
5) Soldiers were stalking him and revealed his body informations like the size of his anderwears (yikes)
and after allll this korean media is creating unecessary scandals for him , even the minitery of defense released a statement about his issue , aren't there bigger issues in korea than this ?!
jiyong is human too , i hope knetzs will understand that someday especially that i see many actors who don't suffer from anything who get public work but why not jiyong who suffers both mentally and physically , hypocrisy indeed
so the military is the PERFECT place for him. (all about focus and not too many distractions) + physical exercise and a strict schedule with lots of rest. (and not drug parties and photographers)
I feel so sorry for Jiyong 😭 He doesn’t deserve this 💔💔💔
Fatima-zahra I don't understand knetz sometimes. They hold idols to an impossible and unrealistic standard and they forget that they are humans too. It's so sad.
And I always wonder how the Korean government has time to get caught up in idols scandals. Aren't there more important things??????
@@jpjay1584 he said music is O2
@@jpjay1584 your comment appears to me to be a little simplistic, naive and possibly libelous. 1. Physical exercise - probably the cause of the worsening of G Dragon's long term ankle injury. 2. Not too many distractions - G. Dragon is a naturally shy person. Going into an environment where probably everybody has already heard of you and already formed an opinion of you based on media reports, (maybe like you?) is going to be even more challenging than if you arrive as an unknown person. Most people don't react around celebrities in the same way as they do around others. E.g. a fellow soldier made a diary on him, including very personal information, and it ended up online! One of my school friends appeared as a child in a short TV series. This spread around the school and even though her "fame" was very minor compared to G Dragons, it affected how many people saw her. Jealousy, envy, judgemental, dislike, curiosity, wanting to put her down, wanting to become her best "friend." A lot more to deal with than if he had joined as an unknown person. Even you have put drug parties in your comment, implying that was his normal lifestyle prior to joining the army - based on what!!!??? A media story from years before - that was shown through evidence to be non-intentional and extremely slight? Additionally, G Dragon has a history of depression, which would make this experience even harder for him. I have read of many celebrities who have much lesser concerns, who go straight into the public service route. Add on the mental stress of knowing that your close friend has tried to commit suicide and the other external factors that would affect him. Although it is a privilege to be able to support your country in this way, and soldiers that complete this service have a right to be proud of their achievement, I have never heard of anyone who said it was easy. You make it sound like a resort!
Can we take a step back and realize he just said, and I quote:
*"It would be an honor to sleep next to G-Dragon"*
@@melharhyth-offline8056 Exactly, it's just cold, hard fact.
5 feet after apart cos they not gay
@@aspiringeyecandy4856 What does have to do being gay or not? He is Gay and so what? Doesn't mean because he is Gay he can't hold a riffle and perform his duties. During my National service in Italy, I did enrolled as a Police Officer for two years because that was my mandatory duties since I did chose the Police forces and they knew I was Gay but didn't treat me less that any one else. Actually I had more sexual experiences in the Police Forces with gorgeous guys then ever, and I love it.

They called that a scandal? GD getting hurt and the military responding to his injury as though he would have been a distraction....was the right choice and makes sense. His popularity is obvious, the media can’t leave him alone.
not that special lol, issues in korea are mostly called scandal.
Kwon Eunbi like most developed countries, the media rarely focus on the important stuff.
Park Bom was involved in a drug "scandal" a few years back too. She brought Adderall or something over from the U.S., where she got the prescription, and she was taking it for ADHD or something like that. They framed her as a drug-addict. I think GD or another k-pop artist was involved in another "scandal" because of some lewd dancing with a woman on stage with a bed prop. Korea's hype with "scandals" is ridiculous imo.
Doesn’t sound like a scandal to me. Just a guy that is forced to do something he doesn’t want to do. I’m glad we don’t have mandatory military service in Germany anymore.
Und was nützt es? Wenn Nordkorea Raketen schießt, werden ja wohl kaum halb-trainierte Eingezogene antreten. Wir sind nicht mehr in den 50ern, auch für Kriege braucht es heute kaum Menschen. @Esra aaa
Natürlich befindet sich Südkorea in einer besonderen Situation. Nichtsdestotrotz hat eine Militärpflicht etliche negative Auswirkungen auf die Betroffenen. Insbesondere wenn damit Nationalstolz verbunden ist und jmd der durch dieses Raster fällt, Ausgrenzung zu befürchten hat.
@@mynameisana09 Alter... ich lebe seit 7 Monaten in Korea und wenn ich etwas gemerkt habe, dass die Leute hier nicht durch so ne lächerlichen Sachen, wie Nationalstolz krank werden... wir deutschen sind einfach ein Volk von Weicheiern geworden. Vorallem was beschwerst du dich über den Dienst an der Waffe? Du würdest sowieso nicht eingezogen werden lol
@@xfranczeskax Und das was du von dir gibst ist absoluter Schwachsinn. Schau dir mal Syrien oder die anderen bombadierten Staaten an. Ist der Krieg dadurch vorbei? Nein, man braucht mehr und mehr Soldaten um nur die Sicherheit zu halten. Zumal hat NKorea ein Militär, dass auf tausenden von Soldaten ausgelegt ist. Dagegen muss SKorea bis zum eintreffen der Nato gewappnet sein.
Max Du hast gar nicht verstanden was ich sagte. Ich jammer nicht, ich bin emphatisch denen gegenüber die sich gezwungen fühlen Wehrdienst zu leisten. Wenn du HURRA schreist, weil du zur Armee darfst, freut mich das für dich. Nur sind nicht Männer gleich Weicheier und Verräter, wenn sie das nicht wollen.
Bruh if gd was sleeping next to me I’d be jumpy asf
Lol
Jae Lee same 🤠
I like your profile pic 😂
Jae Lee if he was sleeping next to me i might not wakeup deceased
-Oof
I totally agree with the private room for GD. You are exactly right, if I saw gd I’d low key freak out too. Plus it would be weird to be trying to get medical care and to have random people annoying you. In the US you most likely get a separate room for care and if you’re on extended stay you can get room for 1 - 4 people. When I was in the hospital for a while I had a 2 person room and I hated when guests visited my roommate...especially kids when parents can’t control them. Thank you headphones
I agree. I hated sharing my room with a three year old and his overly aggressive mother. It was not a great environment to get better in. I can see it being the same for G-Dragon.
Uhmmm ya mean hiGHH KEY FRIKin out, bc if gd were to sleep in the same room w me, I would.
Honey Lemon oh on the inside I’d be screaming like how Jojo Siwa sounds on a regular. But I’d be too afraid to bother him
Dude I only started watching you today but somehow I feel so proud of your English fluency and your fair and thorough reporting!
Being able to speak two languages is pretty common though.
@@Cookiemonster456 im not very familliar with this channel, but im assuming based on what the original commenter said this person maybe learnt english later on his on? maybe idk
@@Cookiemonster456 I use to teach English in Korea so I'm impressed with his fluency, not every Korean national is this good...his organization of thought, use of idioms, and unforced speed is awesome.
Sounds like a very condescending thing to say.
@@gigihadid3745 it was meant to be a compliment. I'm just admiring his execution of the language. As someone who studies other lanaguages, I really enjoy seeing people flex their skills in their 2nd, 3rd, etc language.
Luckily he passed and was deemed fit to continue to serve otherwise Knetz are going to have a field day when he holds another concert and start dancing.
Hannah K they kept finding things to bring him down .
lmao
So the celebrity didnt finish the military or not
@@ardanormm7490 finished. Was supposed to perform at Coachella with 3 other members but COVID-19 happened.
Hannah K thanks ti covid 19 for stop the entertainment
He got the separate room because one of his roommate stalked him and sent personal information about him like where his birth marks are what products he uses what he eats his habits etc and she posted them to her insta
Fyi all military enlistment wear the same products
People are so weird.
Banyak sangat kpop adik ni..
her? so it's a girl?
Jennylyn Morillo his roommates gf I think posted them. The roommate was a guy
It's defently hard to see the importance of military service for a lot of international fans (myself included) but it's harder to see other idols go in the military and still post on social media and perform in military concerts and it's ok but GD goes and tries to lay low but he has people questioning his every move and soldiers making creepy diagrams of his body and then in top off all that people accuse him of special treatment???
@Dindinmoshi Yu of course I know the history behind it but just because you know the history doesn't mean you really understand the cultural importance. And I'm not trying to say it shouldn't exist but it's true that a lot of us will never really know just how ignorant this subject is in Korea so it nice to see a Korean persons perspective on an issue that many international fans were saying was overblown by the media. Because we will never really have that perspective it's nice to get that perspective so we all get more of a glimpse into Korean culture.
@Diane Black You wrote: "soldiers making creepy diagrams of his body", can you please explain that to me 'cause I might be missing out on something ;(
@@Stephania006 I don't have the exact link right now because I'm at work but there was a fellow soldier that was making note of GD's body. Where his scars were his tattoos stuff like that and sending it to his girlfriend. Who put them on Instagram.
WTF?! Woooow, thank you so much for that info, it's really shocking for me to find about that right now D: And it's so creepy and sick! (smh -_-).
If by any chance you had time to find that link you're talking about later, I'd really appreciate it! Thx for all the info anyway, I'm even in shock he has a girlfriend, I mean I can't recall any news about that before his enlistment xD

Well I don’t see the problem with GD getting so many sick leaves. You see how skinny he is ... the all that PT probably makes him vomit.
joon joon of course I did
joon joon just because he was “seen fit” doesn’t mean he actually is especially since he’s flunked hella training tests

@@kisatchi123 "keyboard warriors". They think that because their face and name are not there, they can speak shit without any repercussions or problem
Fcking snowflake. PT ain’t that hard 😂😂
May i suggest to lower the bgm. Sometime its to loud and make it hard to hear what you were saying
라정숙 it wasn’t a very funny joke and I don’t think ur “joke” really belongs here..there’s a time and place and u saying that just sounded rude
@라정숙 ok. Just be careful next time and thanks @Alex K
I Don't Care np😊
That’s really crazy. Even in the military the media can’t leave him alone. His popularity is immense. I only hope he stays healthy and strong.
During his motte world tour, your can literally see how unhealthy jiyong looked. He didn’t only look skinny, but also exhausted. He was clearly going through some mental health issues, most probably depression based on the signs that he has shown. This is probably way he didn’t pass the fitness test to get promoted. But as for the 100 days I can’t say much, you probably know about this far more. I respect Korea’s mandatory military service and do believe that people should not be exempt from it just because they are a celebrity.
I hope he finishes his service well and comes back in good shape. I also really hope that he is holding up well with the seungri scandal. He must be devastated. Usually when people who are suffering from depression are getting better, if something really bad happens it can cause them to be triggered and can go back to their old state. I hope this doesn’t happen to him.
Also, thank you for the video! You stated facts that clarified rumors going on in the kpop community.
K*Ships in K*Chups I’m sorry I don’t understand what you are trying to say?
when he would go live on Instagram it was obvious he was depressed. I feel for him
K*Ships in K*Chups sorry! I misunderstood! 😅
But during motte world tour in manila philippines and in malaysia i didnt see any sign of depression she is smiling giggling and laughing while performing with dara
Lu tian xing depression doesn’t mean that you are sad and crying all the time. Most of the people that are depressed don’t even show it to people. They look happy and normal like everyone else. It’s the way people act and think when they are alone, you can tell if a person is really depressed. Gd has said in many interviews that after concerts he always feels very lonely and also when he is alone he feels very empty. He also lost a lot of weight due to stress. If you watch motte the movie, you can tell how much stressed he was and kinda tell how he was feeling. Sorry for writing so much, I also want to say that this is my own opinion and understanding of him based on what he was going through. Hope you understood~
People can’t just leave G dragon alone. Even in the military.
"G-Dragon changed the way people viewed kpop" jeje yes Sir, idols are more than products👏
Thank you, as a G Dragon fan this was a refreshing summary of his scandal with valuable insight from you who are Korean and have been through the military service. It's really good to have the insight of what Koreans think of these things.
I really like your video. Turn the music down a bit and it'd be perfect :) VIP forever
yea true... my ears bleeding
Yeah I only watched a third of the vid because my ears hurt if I tried to hear him >>
Thanks for that. As an American i couldn't figure out why this was a "scandal." I mean he's an artist ang honestly, he may be struggling with depression and/or anxiety. Frankly, i don't blame him.
We call it equality. Being some sort of famous doesnt give you benefits in the military.
What i didn't state and should have, Was more of understanding that perhaps he struggling with something that we may not see and maybe some of those days were taken just because he wasn't in the right frame of mind and should have been on active duty to begin with. We have a huge problem here in the US of soldiers struggling with depression and anxiety and not getting treatment for it but because the military over there will not disclose why he had those days we don't know if maybe he was getting treatment for something or if he was just trying to fart around. In any case that's between him and his commanders it's not up to us to judge. Of course I don't think there should be special treatment because everybody in the military is military no matter what but as long as they were approved that he to and he took the right steps then we can't say whether it's right or wrong.
@Ilerre i actually watched act iii: motte the other night and as a teacher, i was like, "damn, if ever there was a kid with ADD and vast amounts of artistic talent, that's one right there." He also seemed to be struggling with anxiety. I think his artistic side gives him the outlet as therapy for it. I just don't feel everyone is meant for military service. IMHO, this is not a person i'd recommend for active duty. But that's just me. I like the idea of mandatory service in theory but, in practice, there should be alternatives to military.
@Ilerre youre describing him like he is doing some sort of heroism. Only kpop fans think of that.
@@Written_in_the_Starssnope. Just teachers brain. I work with young children with severe emotional issues daily. And i have anxiety too. So it's easy to recognize. It takes a strong person to battle a hidden illness and push through. Not everyone has coping mechanisms. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has basically been working and sheltered for their entire life. They don't know what it's like in the real world. We all have struggles- paying bills, parenting, etc. These idols get groomed to be perfect from early adolescence. Part of my job is to teach coping mechanisms and be real with my kids. But if you have a kid that's had those struggles hidden, he/she wil not be able to function in society at large. Honestly, i have huge issues with kid stars, even in the US. I can tell you how so many former child stars here have committed suicide or ODed because they couldn't handle real life once the fame and money were gone. All these idols being forced into the reality of life for everyone else in such a drastic way (joining the military is a big deal), is no joke. It's a literal shock to the system. If they have previously undiagnosed mental issues, it can lead to severe trauma and stress and have life changing effects. We have enough psychos over here shooting up schools and churches that it's a huge societal issue. That's why i stay doing my job. Mental health is not taken seriously enough all over the world and opening up the conversation about how real that stuff can be is more important than anyone's perfect image.
Awesome video, thanks for the info
Finally a voice of reason in a world of attackers and haters, Thank you!!
THANK YOU for covering this with actual fact and giving your own thoughts as well. It's great that there is someone who actually has the background and actually knows about the Korean military from first hand experience who is giving their opinion.
G dragon has always had problems with depression, he's never made the effort to hide that fact so I think that knowing this it was completely necissary to do the investigation just in case. Not only because he's struggled for a while with it but on top of that he's an idol and the stress can be worde for them.
Appreciate your explanation and that you even bothered to give one. I'm a U.S. Air Force veteran and few things trigger me more than people who have never served commenting on my military service and privilege. There's curiosity and then there's ignorant presumption. Thank you again.
I got my knees and ankle injuried during basic training. It affected me mentally as I couldn't participate, my sergeants didn't take my injuries seriously and belittled me, and my depression came back in full swing. I get where he's coming from honestly.
I have a crappy memory, so I can't tell you where or when, but G-Dragon did seriously injure his ankle on stage. He finished the concert but had to be carried off and there are plenty of pictures of the accident and dealing with it after. It always seemed to me that he changed the way he performed since. After how fans inundated the base with e-mails, mail, etc., when he first joined I can understand why THEY sent him to a less public hospital. At the hospital it wouldn't just be family of other soldiers, but lots of friends of families of soldier patients trying to get in, e-mails, gifts, and so on and so forth inundating it. But I heard that he was not receiving very good care where he was sent. All it takes is for a higher up in the hospital not liking entertainers for that to happen.
As far as issues in the military, that is on the military. A guy is free to ask, but it has to be approved. And where could he go without it ever being discovered? Again, to leave the base it needs approval from higher ups, be it a sargeant, lieutenant, or whatever. If he wasn't really having problems then there are still problems among longer term personnel despite the changes made after Rain's scandal. If the rumor about the poor care is true or not, maybe most of his problems are tied to his ankle injury.
Rain had a scandal in the military??
@InbornHappy Thanks for the reply. I vaguely remember some of this now.
@InbornHappy Dang. So Rain basically ruined it all the artist after him. Lol That sucks to know. I'm disappointed in him.
I pressed the like when u said g dradon is the guy who changed the opinions about kpop idols, thats so true bro
Wow, I just subscribed to you. You are one of the first TH-camr that I really appreciate when reporting news. Good job.
yo man! hope your channel grows big. It's so hard to find unbiased and proper news about korean idols. I like your approach and explanations in terms of a foreign viewer!
Yeah I feel like it’s only this channel and dkdktv!
I agree so much, he is not having any unfair privilegies, this was the smartest choice. No one can deny G-Dragon's fame, and that would have been (and was) a problem with roommates.
So I’m actually looking forward to him being discharged and making good music again
Saaaaammmmeeeeeee. Awesome content, just a lil feedback the bg music is just abiiit loud. Otherwise, keep it up☺️
G- Dragon is someone who has fought people telling him what to do his entire life (k-pop industry). After working his ass off to prove people in the industry wrong, he is put in that position again. Also, it must be incredibly hard for an artist that it's as his prime to not be able to do what he loves. I would be depressed too geez
Wow i love your way of explanation togetherwith ur past military experiences given. But i have a request, can you lower down the background music's volume for your next video.tq
I support GD just like you do. People just don’t understand that he really had depression and went through so much already. Plus, his ankle injury was pretty serious. But instead they are blaming him for everything.
He was probably depressed or dealing with other mental health issues, which counts as sick leave, as well it should. Mental health is important. This reason would make sense to me. Being an idol is pretty stressful. Being one of the most famous idols, and being put in with a huge group of normal people who act weird around you is probably even more stressful. There's a reason that idols have bodyguards and stay secluded most the time. The world is quite rough and overwhelming on them at times.
GD is a known person. He has bashers too so I'm pretty sure the private room is not only for crowd control but also for his protection. He has higher threats compared to other military so I think it's just fair to give him higher security.
I was thinking exactly the same like you for GD's injury, plus since he is also top few idol in Korea, he deserves the privilege of the MC
If I'm with GD in one room, I'll definitely look at him the whole day.
Mee too but I won't be a sasaeng nor I would check his personal info nor any eating habits
OMG. G-Dragon is the PRINCE. He deserve the best of the best. honestly he shouldn't have to go into the Army/Military but bc he wanted to Honor Korea he joined. be blessed he joined. G-Dragon: youre more than what other see you. you should hold your head up high and not let others' negativity bring you down. that's what they want and don't give it to them. if need, ill hold your hand, be by your side, and serve you. Much LOve to G-DRAGON, THE ONE AND ONLY
You know who need a lot of subscribers? Yeah yeah. It's you

Thanks for this!
really well explained.. 👏👏 i appreciate how you respected both g-dragon and the theorists with their theories 👏
Thank you for clarifying that I am a GD fan and I appreciate your honesty on the military matter, you've made a new subscriber and I liked the video very much keep it up 😊👍
gd has always struggled with depression he has been pretty clear about this specially in his lyrics. to me like some other people said, it doesnt sound like a scandal lol more like a normal human being who is being forced to do something he doesn't want to and doesn't see any point in it. i don't see anything wrong with any of this. its just bad timing with seungri's scandal which is actually bad.
thanks for this very good video!
No one hurts our Gdragon😢❤️ He must have been through a lot.
i never thought about this perspective before! Whether anybody likes it or not GD is a high profile dude, and i can't imagine the shit show that goes on for him trying to balance his military service and not disrupting others.
Excatly. He even has a 'black card' one of the few Koreans who have it. That sure he's a high profiled dudee
I’m new to your channel and I’ve watched two videos so far. I really appreciate your unbiased, accurate, objective, and fair assessments of what’s been recently going on with some Kpop idols. Keep up the great work!
Wow...the reports were conflicting. I read where they said the Kakao talk messages were in excel format, so may not be good evidence. I really hope they are not criminally liable, it would be such a shame for so many reasons.
Great video. Informative. One note - the background music was too loud so it was drowning out your commentary in some places.
Can you talk about sopa and yg's tax evasion next? I would like to understand the scale of these 2 issues in korea? And if you would rank these four issues : seungri, gd, yanghyunsuk and sopa, from the most targeted/talked issue in korea to the least care issue? I am really interested with the sopa issue progress. Thank you in advance 🙇
I will gather some info and try to make a video on them! Thanks for the suggestions. I will go ahead and answer that this is the ranking of issues getting press in Korea right now.
1) Seungri
2) YG Tax Evasion
3) G Dragon
4) SOPA
@@koreascoutertv3004 wow. Thank you for the rank. And thank you for replying as well. Take your time :)) thank you again
Yesss i wanna know too...
The SOPA video is going up today! Again, thanks for giving me suggestions 😀
Wow so SOPA is the last? Children being molested but seungri is more important?
Thank you so much. I learned about some of the scandals from another TH-cam but there was no follow up. I'm glad to know more about the situation in Korea.
Who’s here after GD got discharged? 😍
Is he now? I hope he will be back on " Music scene! Missed him!
wait he’s discharged?
:o
i have been hospitalized in a room with another patient, and I could not rest because my roommate had many guests, who can not help but make noise. Cannot be helped, but I was very tired. Good job on the reporting. It was informative, thanks.
i just want them to LEAVE G-DRAGON ALONE ! our poor baby :((( Cant wait for him to come back. Honestly, he's just trying to live his best life, and im not mad at that
Thank you for taking the time to explain!
Thank you for this,i am Bigbang fans since i was in high school (international fans),coz just like you said there are not real artist in kpop during those days,then i found Bigbang,gosh they change my whole percertion of kpop,they are so talented,and now hearing all these scandal starting from 2ne1 and than bigbang TOP,i thought the other would come clean,seungri ,look at his innocent face,i can't believe it,i am so disappointed,i am glad GD scandal is not as huge as Seungri
Gosh you delivered it beautifully
Truthfully. I felt he should not have passed and forced to seek treatment first. He was injured in concerts but endures it until they found out while in services. He aggravates an injury that probably should have healed faster. My speculation is that the sick leaves are him seeking outside treatments. Is it unfair to ordinary soldiers, probably but but do ordinary soldiers have millions invested on you. GD is not only an artist but a sure investment and YG will do what it can to protect its investment. Though I am sure what YG and the Military do treads a fine line of legality.
Thank you for this video, Im from Paraguay and I couldnt understand what actually happened before this video.
Can we please leave these "Idols" alone! We recently lost one because of scandals dam! Just leave them alone their human beings like the rest of us!
I honestly applaud you for giving such thorough and unbiased reports on the scandals. It must have taken some guts to post this and I can assume that the information was not easy to obtain. You just gained another subscriber, keep up the good work!❤️
G-dragon i miss you terribly, please come back, you’re my sun and part of me who didn’t give up on me when everything was going wrong... 😢
I like how you explain things. Straightforward but unbiased. Better than most news channel. Good job! New subbie from the Philippines. I recently visited South Korea, lovely place!
*I think youre exactly right!* Yes his hospital room is an unfair advantage to regular citizens, but for a celebrity of his massive size, it's really all about safety.
GD sitting vulnerable in a hospital bed? Open to the public? Trying to sleep, rest, and who knows, if hes not looking his best someone could take photos in the middle of the night, who knows what bad things could happen. I think it really only makes sense for him to have a private room. Not as a luxury, but for safety and privacy.
Love your opinion on this topic! Really appreciate to hear the opinion of someone who grew up in Korea and also served in their military, especially on a topic like this. Thank You!
His mental health 😢 you never know what might happen. I hope GD knows there’s people waiting for his return , not as A BIGBANG member but as Jiyong 💜
Thank you for enlightening us especially international fans who doesn't have a good source and is having a hard time understanding the issue.
I think military service is not understood at all by international fans. Like i oersonally have read and stuff about it so i try to understand more but ppl dont realise how imp it is as a korean citizen its not just something they need to get over with its something of respect and integrity i believe
Thnks for this video i actually understood the whole situation now and i think ur pov’s in the video were very interesting and actually helped me understand the stuff more :)
It has nothing to do with integrity. It's mandatory because they were first military ran and were in a consistent state of war for over 50 years with Nkorea. USA used to have mandatory enrollment. Most countries activate it when their country is in a consistent state of war. They would never inactivate it because 2 communist countries that surround them, they've already went to war with. It's to help prepare them, since that country crumbled and would have been defeated if it wasn't for the US. It's to assure the survival of that country against any other foreign entity, since they are in a vulnerable position with where that country is located and who surrounds them. It's not integrity or respect.... it's for survival of the democracy of that country. Even though it's crappy at protecting the women.
Just like every other issue, it depends on the person. Not everyone in Korea is in love with the idea of going to the army. Some consider it a great honor.
Christina G ik its mandatory but people in korea dont just look it as something they need to do
Maybe i didnt convey my point well
I meant to say that people there think of it as an achievment they go there try their best and its not something like a chire its their duty and they take pride in it as its something they r doing for their country and alot of people out of korea living in countrues who dont have this madatory service dont understand what it means to them on a patriotic level
JLynnEchelon ofc thats tru i shouldnt generalise anyone but i was just tryna point out that many people think of it as an honour :)
I get the basic ideas of mandatory military service and the pride of serving (my aunt wanted to be pilot in the navy so much she lied about having seizures and got dishonorably discharged for lying, but still talks proudly about being in the military), I think the issue is there are some things that don't click just on a human level. like gdragon had his ankle injury beforehand and it was known to be chronic, in the U.S. even during a draft he would be put in non-active duty job or depending on severity wouldn't be admitted at all. Then if an injury that severe happened during service they might be put in the reserves while they heal or discharged in case putting someone back out on duty would make the injury worse again. For G-dragon specifically it seems like he should have been put in a desk job like t.o.p instead of back on duty where he could injure his ankle again and the fact that this stuff keeps coming up for g-dragon is like forcing him to continue on active duty and that could completely destroy his leg
🇰🇷 as an orthopedic nurse with many years of experience, an ankle injury can be life changing. I choose to let the military doctors determine how this will effect his status. It also may effect his kpop dance ability. Best wishes for recovery!
it would be an honor for me also to sleep next to G-Dragon,, :’’)
You earned yourself a new subscriber,Im glad you went on and talked about this topic because my family,who loves kpop,was worrying about GD and his members and if this hurt the group and make them disband,along with the Seungri Burning Sun scandal
Yes I agree with u 🙋♀️
And respect for korea and korean army and really respect for u bro from vips
You explain very well, It’s great that you can keep us updated like this!
“It would be an honor to sleep next to G Dragon” 😂😂 if I were to do that I would faint
This is a non bias video. I really like how you balance your opinion and the issues. Thank you for the effort of explaining everything to us.
I love *BIGBANG* for a very long time.
We fall in love with an idol when we are young and grow up together in all these many years. My no.1 is T.O.P who himself has more than enough problems. When idols join the army, we realize that they aren´t just superstars, but also men who have to do their military duty. And this in Korea, a country where military service is still very important. In my country, that doesn´t exist anymore. For us fans it´s really hard but also for the idols begins a new period of life. And that's hard when you're not ready and have no choice. For me, GD is a very soulful artist with a fragile soul and I can easily imagine that he´s the one with the hardest time there. And when you have mental pressure, you notice a lot more of physical pain. If you have always been protected and lived in your own little world, it´s even harder to sleep in a room with many unknown persons and to follow the military drill. And now the Seungri scandal makes it even harder for all of them.
I appreciate your very great reports that you never really judge someone. You explain the facts. Thank you for your hard work. ♥
dude, i just found your channel from my recommended page. your english is fluent as heck, and your presentation is neutral, respectful and informative. keep it up man!
"It would be an honor for me to sleep next to G-Dragon"
Me: Oh yes I feel you
I really appreciate the fact that you put yourself out here but also i would like to add you talk very well at explaining something that i myself knew very little about so thanks for that.
Your music is louder than you and I would suggest a lowered volume for your music so I can hear you and not be distracted by your music. thank you
I really appreciate your opinions, and it actually makes sense
Omg honestly as an international fan I get so mad at most likely new fans bashing’s South Korea about their law for men and their military service. They don’t understand why it’s necessary, yeah it’s sad your oppas going but it’s sad that the country has to do it for their safety of a possible war that would happen at any time.
like I'm sorry but Korea is/was not the only country in the world having similar geopolitical situation.
If you really want to prepare for war, in TWENTY FIRST CENTURY, you start with including women too. Let's start from there. I'm just gonna remind that alternative service exists too. And to country which do not have such big man power as let's say US, it would be wise to ged rid of patriarchal remnants and start to do some changes.
Being not Korean doesn't have anything to do with your inability to form an opinion on political matters.
as a women I feel like treating women as useless soldier's home wives do not bring any good when women can learn a lot of ways how to serve as for example medical support. or SELF-DEFENCE for starters because we all know what happens with women during the fuxking war.
Lithuania.Is.NOT.Russia ugh I already know they aren’t smh, but am I talking about the other countries involved? No I am on a Korean Video.
Women in Korea have the choice to serve the army or not, so it’s entirely up to them and in my opinion they shouldn’t be forced. I’m being old fashioned with they should stay home and look after the children or elders, because who else would? That is saving too, you don’t have to carry a gun to save lives. Little things matter too. If these women want to serve the army then they can, it is open for them but to make it compulsory for ‘equality’ is stupid.
There's a reason woman are not the first choice for battle. If captured, their punishments are far worse than any man could ever receive. Woman are simply built differently. After puberty men develop muscle fibers are thicker and develop extra muscle groups on their bodies. Making them naturally stronger and faster. Combat between a man and woman is an unfair match, which is why men can go to jail for hitting a women. It's just common sense why women should not be at the forefront.
On top of the fact women in the military have a higher increase chance of being raped and or beaten. SKorea is not known for having amazing protection of women's rights. Women in the military shouldn't even been on the list of things that country needs to focus on and change. Their healthcare system should be top priority.
Great explanation very clear and direct to the point......
IT'S THE MEDIA THAT MAKES THE NOISE
yo, as an American I will never forget kpop…..at the time my "best" friend broke up with me and i had kpop to get through it. bands like big bang and girls day. i was listening to that all day. my favorite solo singers are taeyang, gdragon, TOP, sojin and minah. i have no idea what the hell they are saying but I LOVE IT!!!!
Why so many scandals
Well put on details. Good job to you sir
gd has never hid the fact that he has depression. he was also very underweight during his motte tour and i think it's definitely something that the koreans should take into consideration. he's human after all.
Thank you for being unbiased, informative, and concise.
hey, i love ur content but im curious... are you reading something or ur just looking at the viewfinder screen? ☺
prolly made a script or outline of what he will say so he isn't just sitting there mumbling and thinking about what to say the whole time
OMG! You’re English is good... congratulations! I love the way you explain things rationally with regard to the issue but what captured me most is the way you deliver your information and convey your audience with the use of English language...♥️🙏👏👏👏🇵🇭
G dragon is very popular among men his fan base is full of boy fans so i think it was right to put him in a privet room
This is my first time watching you and I already love you
Then national defense is delivering such a big lie officially?about sick leave?
Army officially stated sick leave exist
Diana gd i find ya 😁
Sick leaves exist but there has to be a reason for u getting extra vacation days (sick leave). Sick leave is not being hospitalized at a military hospital. Its staying outside of military and going to civilian hospital
Hey you explain very well, It’s great that you can keep us updated like this!
i am not gonna lie i hope g-dragon will just leave south korea and live freely somewhere else , any country will be honored to get an artist like him meanwhile south korea is busy ruining his life
Facts
I heard he only took total of 70ish days not 100. From what you explained it seems to be bad but if the military allows him to do so and says that it's completely acceptable, do you think they have good reason? Maybe he really needed to go to hospital?
