get rid of the narrative that “no one wants BIGBANG anymore”; a thread.

G-Dragon’s discharge is the most iconic discharge in korean history with 3000 fans waiting for him. an artist that’s been on hiatus for 2 years did that.
his discharge article has over 1.1 BILLION reads just on weibo. when we say he and BIGBANG are #1 in china, it’s facts.

3 weeks after his discharge, he became the first korean artist to collab with Nike which sold out as soon as it was dropped.
literally if u were 1 second late to the site to buy them you missed out.

these aren’t concert tickets, but SHOES.

yes this was a line for just shoes;
G-Dragon’s shoes.

now let’s talk about TOP.
his discharge literally known as “Operation 007” bc of how he and fans tricked the media and made the media end up looking like obsessed clowns. all while he had a secret fanmeeting with 800 fans.

TOP gave the media exactly what they deserved bc the media literally BEEN keeping their eyes on TOP so they can find any reason to criticize him for what??? bc they know TOP stays unbothered.
lmao kmedia is fr pathetic.

Taeyang and Daesung’s discharge is the 2nd most iconic and anticipated discharge in Korea. they got the opportunity to discharge together which is the FIRST for members of the same group and over 2000 fans joined them.

now let’s talk fashion industry.
“fashion trends of korea was stopped after his enlistment”

G-Dragon quote “King of Kpop” and “Kpop’s King”(Vogue 2020) made his iconic return at Chanel FW front row in Paris after not attending for 2 years bc of military.
he’s been a Chanel ambassador for years and there was no doubt he wouldn’t show up this year, which he did.

he was invited to and attended the Nike Forum FW front row in New York along with other global celebrities like travis, drake, virgil, ambush, etc. and went to dinner with them.

oh and did i mention he didn’t debut in the west yet??? yeah. king.

Taeyang has been a global ambassador for Fendi for years and he was again invited to Fendi FW in Milan.

just LOOK at him eating up his military hairstyle. i never thought someone bald would look good until i saw taeyang.

Fendi FW x Taeyang

he also became the face of the monthly men’s magazine esquire.

Daesung literally gone MIA from the public eye other than him attending Dara’s show with Taeyang.
meanwhile, he and G-Dragon were listed in a list of the top 6 korean artists known as huge real-estate moguls in Asia.

we can’t forget how BIGBANG was personally invited to Coachella as a headliner despite what happened last year and no comeback since 2016.
BIGBANG has never promoted in the west other than tours so essentially this was going to be their western debut had covid not happened

this deserves a whole nother thread but in other words G-Dragon is leading the lifting of THAAD (hallyu ban).
he became the first korean artist to be in a China cf since the ban as the CEO of the company personally reached out to him.
china wants BIGBANG and GD most.

BIGBANG are doing literally NOTHING but are trending on music charts multiple times a day.

the demand for them is STILL here. y’all needa stop saying “no one wants them” bc the charts say otherwise.
they are in the top 3 most searched bgs almost everyday.

the demand for them in asia is insane-no scratch that. the demand for them in just China alone is beyond INSANE.
BIGBANG and GD are the top foreign artists there with a huge gap, they’re untouchable.
even with BIGBANG on hiatus no one came close to catching up to them.

BIGBANG haven’t even BREATHED but newbies are shitting on them and doubting their talents everyday. are y’all really that bored of ur favs??

the gp isn’t streaming their music from over a decade ago because they’re just bored. BIGBANG’s music is timeless and that’s a fact. next.
