Bigbang is the blueprint of Kpop, they're 2nd gen they changed the whole Kpop industry from fandom names, lighstick, bright color hair, produced own songs, live singing, mini albums, different styles or fashions, sub-unit & a lot more than everyone follows. Bigbang really KINGS!
@@ukchanshiro5962 its true first sub unit from SM but i think mybe he want to said first group not disband and all the member have solo and sub unit career.
There's many content creators who had switched or gave up on BIGBANG after SR's scandal but u guys have always stayed loyal as VIPs. They supported through the good times but fled at the sign of controversy. Always appreciated this channel & one of the few real ones.
They started last years before/ after Seungri'a issue is not important, what most important is about appreciating great music . Just to remind many became Seungri's fan after the scandals
Fyi, Shout Out to The World is Bigbang biographical book. Which is filled with the efforts and tears of all the band members. Starting with their debut in summer 2006 to their breakout success to their triumph on the J-pop scene, this 280-page book penned by the members traces Big Bang's road to success.
Agree, I want to say BIG THANK YOU to Teddy, Taeyang and Jimin for making this collab happen, because our fandom need it. I think some VIPs, me including, gets lost in hate narrative that we receive from BTS fans, and we start negatively looking at BTS as artist too. This interview reminded me that BTS are our fellow VIPs and just very genuine and humble musicians.
Watching you both makes me feel like I have friends to watch stuff together, especially Bigbang related. It's more fun to watch with you than alone. I love you guys so much 💛
😁😁😁 Why did you make us smile so hard thank you and we'll turn up to some more Bigbang content soon! Working harder for you! Sending love all the way from Delaware
@@blakecate8099 i knew of its existense since Taeyang appeared on Return of Superman but i never got around to reading it. I shall fix that error and read it asap now. XD
And the fact that he follows them around to their dinner shows. I just recently knew that dinner shows were a thing coz of Suga 😅 he's the real VIP and I'm the fake one 😂
I dont know why. But I love seeing all BigBang content together with you guys. You always said something that me as a VIP really feel too. I really love you guys. And wanna say thank you for loving BigBang as much or even more than I do ❤❤
The sad thing when taeyang last statement to be with his member and meet vips . The beginnings of bigbang dreaming to debut and now dreaming to comeback as bigbang and kinda think his hoping for them to perform 5 not 4. We dont know behind seungri case but i still think as brothers they all waiting for him. Their maknae and pick him up.
Imagine BIGBANG has a full-on comeback and go on an award show or smthg or hold a concert. Kpop would be on absolute stop that day lmao. every group from 2nd gen, 3rd gen and 4th gen would be there. imagine the audience jam packed with huge class idols like svt, bts, twice, blackpink, exo, rv, mamamoo, g-idle......so many others j screaming and enjoying and going back to their teenage fanboy/girl selves
Bigbang's story was like a Kdrama in itself. They've been into a lot of obstacles and was able to surpass it. I do hope they'll be able to come out again and regain their name's dignity which was tainted by scandals. BTS doing all these collab with them is a big help to both groups. Someday soon each BTS member will do their solos and lay low as a group. Its helpful that they do find brotherhood from a group who've been through the toughest times of their career. At the end of the day, they're all just normal human like us.
I kept coming because I liked how you reacted to BIGBANG's songs a few years ago. I saved the video and still watch it often. It's nice to be able to see Taeyang's comeback song reaction. Thank you for liking k-pop, especially YG's hip-hop music.
I literally cried when Suga bowed whilst they were shaking hands. I miss Big Bang so much and I'm proud of BTS. To see these interactions is just affirming the positive in both & slamming down those toxic haters of the past. 🥂
OK click so fast now . Its weekend just chilling at home listening to VIBE. Thank you Charles and Chey for this genuine reactions yall put in your channel. More power!. VIP UNTIL WHENEVER!
This talk between 2 legends was everything for me. I am ARMY to my core but I have always appreciated BIGBANG. That appreciation grew since I knew how much my 7 love them. I tend to keep to only certain social kpop avenues so I stay away from a majority of the toxicity. Personally, I got stupid excited when I heard about the Collab since I knew only a portion of Jimin's admiration for Taeyang and I was jumping up and down for him. Then this interview with Yoongi just made me smile. Yoongi has always been straight forward and I'm thankful that now he has someone he can talk to who is experienced and grounded as Taeyang after this. I don't know much about BIGBANG except maybe a handful of title tracks I still play every now and then. I loved this reaction, showing love to both kings. So VIP, any b-sides you guys recommend from a newbie willing to experience more?
BigBang changed and shifted kpop to the whole kpop culture junior groups use today. BTS impacted the industry by reaching stages and records korean artists had never reached and by making kpop even more worldwide. I think that's why there's often fight between the 2 fandoms, it's basically Culture vs Industry.
I was introduced to BTS when "Dynamite" came out. So, I started to watch their videos and that is when I started to watch Big Bang. Jimin and Taeyung were jamming to "Fantastic Baby" by Big Bang. I love your reactions.
That quote about Bigbang making BTS is perfect coming from Suga, because haters would have to do some superhuman mental gymnastics to argue against it.
Our YoungBae and his deep thoughts😌.. This man has always been this wise, I can't be more proud😌 Guys you were all of us when Bae said "April or May"👀💓.. same thoughts I was like wait BIGBANG is coming😂.. And then ah no no no it's our YoungBae album but damn we must wait that much for his album😩....also Did you notice how they show in the screen 4/5???.. Still Life was released on April 5(4 of 5 members).. so this give me chills💓 Btw Charles, Chey can I ask guys to keep reacting on YGFAMILY CONCERT 2014, please???... It so fun and funny🙏🥺💛... I love your reactions you are the best🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Please guys, react to another interview too, it's even more fun. Btw, YB is so talkative on this CB. I'm loving it. He is so much more mature and reflective. In total the interview is very good and YB is comfortable, I like that! 💛
When Taeyang is talking about what Jimin fans and himself would like, he is referring to the close ups of Jimin and the dance moves. He is correct, over and over in the reaction videos, the reactors talk about the close ups of Jimin's face. I think Taeyang wanted the very best collaboration, a lot of artists would not have shared the spotlight encouragingly. It was lovely to see the synchrony.
Taeyang always like that with other collaborations too.. the obvious one was MAPSOSA, him with GD and Kwanghee, they gave Kwanghee the longest line kwanghee has in his idol career.
Both of them start not as a singer, taeyang trained as a rapper and dancer then when Top came taeyang swich to be a vocalist. BTS never have a sunbae to help them and now to see youngbae talked to them like this, understand what thet been through it's like a big brother to their dongseng
Love 'BTS Global Pop ICONS and Humble 7 Souls..👑💜🥰 So proud of Suga, So humble and He got his own variety TV cute talk show call 'Suchwita not to mention He's now Mr Ambassador for Valentino brand to, plus he got a new Solo album coming out soon to can't wait, and for V to got a solo album coming out this year to.🥰💜 Translate to Korean
zooming on their shoes means...at first suga was so nervous that he is shakings his feet. .later on as he gets comfortable talking to taeyang...no more shaking his feet.
Mad respect for both these guys 💞 finally i/we get to see Taeyang in the now luving this interview what a Vibe 🫰🏼kotahi aroha e te iwi (one luv everyone) 🫶🏽
I have NEVER understood Fanwars. The following are Facts. Musicians listen to Music. Authors read Books and Film Makers watch movies. What's so hard to figure out here. Your Faves like and respect the ones you don't like. Charles, you are a Bills fan. Do you like the opposing teams? Who knows? You sure respect them, right?
I think any reason that made bts, is made by bigbang. i know bts is more internationally? or world wide even, but bigbang is just made bts, as u can see in the video how suga respect that much to taeyang, taeyang, not even full members of bigbang. i think suga will cry of happiness 😂, BUT the fandom (Army) was just idk.. cannot accept them (Bigbang) as who that create a kpop in Gen2 till now maybe at least every group and fans after Gen2 they know how to respect bigbang. its not that im placing bigbang in the top of everything, but thats the facts. i was fan of superjunior (elf) i feel bigbang time back then was hype enough to made me become kpopfan not only Superjunior but i was start digging some others group to stand 😘
So, I saw a snippet of Taeyang and Jimin on a song called Rollin. Do y'all think that's the next release? Or have I gone crazy? Thank y'all, love the equal attention with zero negativity. Been following for a few months and I appreciate the content being viewed open mindedly.
please reaction GDragon & TaeYang on IÌninite Challege from ep 435-440 2015 Yeongdong Expressway Song Festival GD joined in 4 times in Infinite Challege and they're "over lit" 😂
First time seeing Suga. Avoiding the toxicity so legit don’t know bts. It’s not their fault but ain’t no one got time for it with so many great groups to chill out with. Suga seems like a decent dude. It’s too bad he got such flack for this mellow interview. Reinforces to me I need to keep back. Even without hearing anyone but Jimin just this week,im certain they deserve better than having the toxic ones push potential appreciators away.
TBH i don't really blame ARMYs in general cuz if you know the history(lol), VIPs and EXO-Ls literally bullied BTS and their not so big yet fandom early in their career.
all these bullying stuffs are so childish & only new/kids fans that continuously do this shit. in the past, i would say there's bigger fan wars between vips & exols compare to how vip vs army. it's simply because exo debuted with a lot of instant big achievements compared to how bigbang & bts very first debuted.
It's true. History got lot to do with wy ARMYs hate VIPs and Bigbang. But lot of things were too exaggerating. ARMYs is a great community you can get along with just like VIPs. Both are so chill. Wish both fandoms could clear their differences and actually find themselves being good friends cos BTS & Bigbang got the same vibe.
@@saymyname9335 I am literally a VIP in first place. I am in Kpop scene since 2002 during first gen too lol. It's true how much toxic people in the fandom back then bullied Bts & their fans. It effected them gravely too. Why you trying to act like nothing happened at all? Everyone in Kpop knows the history pretty well. The evidence is pretty up there too. Even BTS members spoken about it. Stop defending those toxic people and stand up for right at least once.
I was puzzled that you laughed many times when something seemed different from American ways of doing things. When people do that, I feel ashamed that we are so ignorant about other countries' cultures. Were you nervous? Or did it really seem funny to you??

Fandom names existed during the 1st gen.

and first sub-unit were from SM

Hey MADE album songs literally has tittle track materials I mean all of the songs from BIGBAG MADE album topped the charts! Check out the playlist 😉

BTS impacted the industry by reaching stages and records korean artists had never reached and by making kpop even more worldwide. I think that's why there's often fight between the 2 fandoms, it's basically Culture vs Industry.
The fight is not about culture or whatever, but more of one stan discrediting other in their cult fandom.
What a warm interview💖💖💖

Every time I watch this , Suga is so humble and it seems that Taeyang is also. 💜
So happy to see them together. I watched once and watched your reaction again.
Once a VIP will always be VIP.
My goodness you were sooooo fast reacting in this video….lezzzzz go charles and chey and I’m so hype…. Im 10 minutes late tho
I'm happy that these humble talented Idols connected. Taeyang is 7 years older 34, than Jeemin. Taeyang is also a Team Player just like BTS.
Taeyang's the healthiest member in Bigbang. Taeyang's defined as looking like a bad boy outside but good boy inside.
All BIGBANG members are good person .
@@saymyname9335 Absolutely. That's why people always try to drug them down.
VIP collecting BTS members one by one is the twisted plot in 2023 😅.
