Vol. 6

When speaking about members… V.I (Japanese language… the most important thing is to enjoy and learn!) 

This time it is about Bigbang's highest maknae, V.I (22). The impression I had of him during trainee times was that he was good at singing and dancing and has a good personality. His cute point makes me feel “Ahh~ he’s a good kid” like this (laugh). 

He always gives me the impression that he is still growing up. In conclusion, regardless of the culture of other countries or whatsoever, his absorbing rate is the world’s number one. Including Japanese language, he can speak it after learning for awhile, I was really shocked. He keeps on holding on to the Japanese language vocabulary book and learning like mad, it is a passion I have never seen before up till now. To be honest, I was really surprised. I think the other members must be thinking this way too. When he appears alone in Japanese variety or talk shows, after everybody watches it they will go “have you watched it? It’s very interesting right?” as a form of support. 

When I see him speak fluent Japanese language with all the famous personalities in Japan, I feel that he is very reliable. Recently he is learning English oh. Although he works very hard, he doesn't show it in front of others. The most important thing is, I really admire him because he really enjoys learning. Precisely because of this is why he can learn so fast. I am the type who gets very stressful when I have to learn something new so I really want to learn from V.I on how he does it. However, during break time V.I is really noisy. This makes me very perplexed (laugh). Sometimes, when the jokes he prepares for his live doesn't make the audience laugh, I feel shy for him watching at the side. However it only happened twice in 7 years so it is quite impressive already (laugh).

Vol. 7


Speaking about the members… G-DRAGON (he used to cry while watching television dramas or movies) [laugh]. He is a romantic person!

Walking till here, there is only two more volumes left. I used my own view to speak about the members normal side, for the last volume, it is Bigbang’s leader G-DRAGON. It has been 7 years since the day we debuted, he led us with strong leadership skills. All of us members climbed to further ranks to become even professional artists, we are all strict to ourselves. The thing he is very good at is that, amongst us, he will always be the one working hard first. For example, after work has finished, all of us will be very sleepy, so we would like to take a short nap. No matter who it is, we will say “Let’s rest for 10 minutes or so before the lesson starts”. But G-DRAGON will say “If you guys sleep you will want to continue sleeping, in the end you will not practice. So don’t sleep for now, lets work hard”. He is actually very tired as well. However, he hid that heart of his well, I think he is a very strong person. Thus, thanks to G-DRAGON’s perseverance and strictness, there is a Bigbang today. To speak about his weaker points, in the past, he used to cry when he watches drama or movies (laugh). He is a very romantic person. Although in these past few years, there isn’t any time like this already… The members all understand how busy everybody is with their work. However, as guys, we will not say “Hwaiting!”directly. We will purely trust that the other parties can all finish their challenges well, so that everybody will be able to move forward.

Vol. 8

Speaking about Bigbang: The energy cultivated from solo activities will be integrated and developed together!

The final round of this volume, I will introduce to you my thinking about Bigbang and things I discover. This is what I experience based on the solo activities this time round, I guess there isn’t any other groups who can smoothly undergo both their solo and group activities like Bigbang. Even though the 5 of us are not together, it will not be a problem. When our solo activities have ended, we will bring what we have learnt back into the team. That energy will integrate as one, then we will venture again as Bigbang. To be able to do this, I think it is also because of the members’ thick bond which made it possible. Bigbang were in very difficult times before. When I was in pain, I can once again feel the thick friendship between us. This experience serves as evidence, I would like to tell young people out there: the most important thing about group activities is to be a team.         

To carry your own views and also seek communication with your team, the whole group will progress to the next goal, so that we can always be the best group. When producing this album, I had the goal to “be the bridge between Korea and Japan”. I hope that through singing, I can let Koreans discover J-Pop’s charm. I think in this way, it can be the moment to understand each other….. D-LITE’s first solo live, I would like to become someone who can enter into the world of music in depth, so, please come and have fun.
