    BIGBANG Taeyang’s Concert In Seoul: public apology to The Black Label+Jeon Somi, “I am also a VIP”

    On the afternoon of August 31st, Taeyang held a solo concert called “TAEYANG 2024 TOUR [THE LIGHT YEAR] IN SEOUL” at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul.

    At the event, after all the performances were over, Taeyang thanked the fans for filling up the seats. “There are so many people who helped me prepare for this concert. I am so grateful to the fans that I can’t express in words,” he said.

    Taeyang then added, “The Black Label listened to all the things I wanted to do. I’m really grateful for that,” expressing his special affection for Teddy, the head of The Black Label.

    In particular, he said, “I can’t see it, but as far as I remember, the staff who prepared the concert with me haven’t slept for a few weeks. Thank you to all the staff of The Black Label. I think they had a hard time preparing for the stage because I was very sensitive, I’m sorry to take this opportunity,” drawing laughter.

    Taeyang earlier did a cover of Dynamic Duo’s “Smoke” and Jeon So-mi’s “Fast Forward.” Jeon So-mi, who was a guest at the concert, said, “I was watching from behind, but he was definitely not that good at ‘Fast Forward’ without me,” and Tae-yang said, “That’s true. I can feel it when I do it with the original singer.”

    Jeon So-mi heated up the atmosphere with “Fast Forward” and her new song “ICE CREAM” while Taeyang went to change for the next stage. Jeon So-mi’s energetic energy gave her a different charm from Taeyang.

    Jeon said, “I am also a VIP (BIGBANG’s fandom name). As a former VIP, it is a great honor to be a guest. I think the atmosphere of the concert was so good, I hope it will help me a little bit,” and added, “I will stir and have fun as if it is my own concert.”

    Former BIGBANG Member T.O.P Erases His Past: Allegedly Blocks G-Dragon and Taeyang on Instagram

    On August 21, reports emerged that former BIGBANG member T.O.P allegedly blocked fellow members G-Dragon and Taeyang on Instagram, sparking intense speculation among fans and media alike.

    This revelation came just days after BIGBANG’s 18th anniversary on August 19, a milestone that was celebrated by fans worldwide. However, instead of joining the festivities, T.O.P reportedly blocked fans who tagged him in congratulatory posts. The escalation of these actions led many to believe that T.O.P had also severed ties with G-Dragon and Taeyang by blocking them on social media.

    Rumors that T.O.P blocked G-Dragon first surfaced in mid-2023. Specifically, many people noticed that all of G-Dragon’s likes on T.O.P’s old posts had disappeared. This sparked speculation that T.O.P had outright “blocked” the account of his close younger brother and former groupmate.

    Fans were abuzz with discussions, raising suspicions that a major conflict had arisen within BIGBANG, leading to the duo “cutting ties” with each other.

    Previously, in February 2022, T.O.P ended his contract with YG Entertainment. At that time, it was announced that he was still a part of BIGBANG, though the group had few joint activities. However, this past May, T.O.P confirmed that he had officially left BIGBANG to embark on a new journey.

    Notably, the former BIGBANG member even removed the group’s name from his posts on his Instagram story. This saddened BIGBANG fans, who felt that even though T.O.P had left the group, it wasn’t necessary for him to be so harsh.
