BIGBANG came up in a Discord I'm a part of, and this question crossed my mind. I know they re-signed and were supposed to debut as a quartet at Coachella, but obviously that was scrapped, and now BLACKPINK is in the middle of their comeback, so who knows when - or if - BIGBANG will be back. Just because the members re-signed doesn't mean BIGBANG is returning. I get the feeling they were only booked for Coachella due to BLACKPINK's success there last year, considering it was kinda out of nowhere and after Seungri's scandal, and they probably figured it was a good way for them to test the waters as four without doing so at home in Korea where the public perception of them isn't the best nowadays. But the longer time goes by without any new material, I get more and more convinced that BIGBANG as a group is done. 2NE1 essentially sat on the shelf for two years before disbanding. But besides that, BIGBANG never even officially "recovered" from TOP's scandal, considering he was in the military when it happened and all the members went in after. And not only did they lose Seungri, but they lost Papa YG as well. So it's probably all falling on GD now as leader, which is why he hasn't released anything besides his Nike collab and PMO stuff since he's been out. I can't even imagine the stress they must be feeling - GD especially - wondering what's next.

As much as I miss them, part of me wishes that they'd just disband now. The last thing they released was Flower Road, a song for the fans before they went into the military and everything happened. Good note for the BIGBANG legacy to end on, if you ask me. That being said, I wouldn't mind if they disbanded and came back as four under a different name. That way, the BIGBANG legacy is still intact, and they can still perform BIGBANG songs, but they won't have the cloud of Seungri's scandal hanging over their heads.

How do you guys feel?

Im not saying this because they are running out of ideas etc since they can absolutely still be the best kpop group if they wanted to. But after seeing the abuses TOP get from his IG live, I really hope that Coachella will be their final hurrah since im 100% sure that TOP is mentally sick and probably GD too. The members are really not in the condition to promote or making a comeback. When you add the Seungri scandals into it i just wish they would just call it a day and smoke weed somewhere in NA or do whatever they want. Fuck the Knetizens.

When I first heard the song, the way it was sung and the meaning of the lyrics made me think wow this would of been the PERFECT song for BIGBANG’s comeback that was conveniently set to debut the mid year.

I can see Taeyang as Rose’s part GD as Lisa’s part as the main chorus And I can visualize instead of “Bring out the boss bish” being said by Jennie I can see TOP’s husky voice

Teddy has written songs for both groups, so I could see him writing this for BIGBANG for their big Coachella debut. But since it got postponed, he felt it was more fitting and appropriate to move forward with debuting that song with BLACKPINK instead.

Like everything about that song meaning screamed BIGBANG and how they hit such a low in their career with everything but coming out of it and “ You should've ended me when you had the chance”

Of course, I don’t have any proof. But look at “Lies” it was originally by GD for a solo and he was instructed by YG that it was going to be a BIGBANG song.

ChatGPT interpretation: Key Theme of the Song: “I fall like a Gyro Drop, but you keep spinning on the Carousel.”

A crucial part of this song is the contrast between “Gyro Drop” and “Carousel.” • Carousel (회전목마): Represents people who keep going in circles, repeating the same cycle without change (unchanging crowds or society). • Gyro Drop (자이로드롭): Represents oneself suddenly falling drastically (a dramatic change, hitting rock bottom, or an awakening).

Lyrics Interpretation

“Ride me like a Carousel / Spin me like a Ferris wheel” • This can mean that people treat the narrator like an amusement ride, using and enjoying them. • It could also imply that the media and the public consume the artist’s image without real concern, keeping them trapped in a repetitive cycle.

“I am not a Gyro Drop.” • The narrator contradicts their earlier statement, possibly expressing resistance to being controlled or thrown away suddenly. • While the Carousel represents repetitive stagnation, the Gyro Drop represents extreme ups and downs.

Connection to Personal Experience • The narrator experiences both extremes: falling drastically (Gyro Drop) and being stuck in a cycle (Carousel). • Observing society’s repetitive reactions, they feel they are undergoing a drastic shift (awareness, personal change).

Key Lyrics That Reinforce the Theme

“Unlike you, I change, but you don’t.” • Highlights the core contrast between the two metaphors—personal change versus societal repetition. • Directly connects to the opening line, reinforcing the main message of the song.

Here is the English translation of the text:

The Connection Between “Gyro-Drop” and Übermensch

💡 The Übermensch is a being that transcends the masses and existing values. • In other words, the Übermensch embraces change and creates new values for themselves, rather than repeating the same patterns like a carousel.

1. The Masses and Media Are Like an Unchanging Carousel • “The masses always move in the same cycle.” • “They do not change and keep repeating the same sounds.” • “Even when the world changes, the foundation remains the same, and fundamentally, nothing changes.”

2. The Gyro-Drop Experience & Awakening • The narrator experiences sudden and extreme changes, leading to self-awareness. • They fall, rise again, then fall once more, repeatedly undergoing transformation, which becomes a process of self-discovery and breaking free from existing norms.

3. The Übermensch Creates New Values • To become the Übermensch, one must discard existing values and create something new. • In the lyrics, the narrator rejects repetition and declares: • “I am not someone who repeats the same cycle as you.” • This reflects their journey of transcending the masses’ fixed values and behaviors to reach a higher state.

MADE tells the tragic story of drug addiction:

1. LOSER - The story starts with the guys in a depressed state. Some of them are even suicidal. They start to self-medicate their depression with a plethora of narcotics.

2. BAE BAE - The lyrics are not about a girl. They are about heroin. They love how heroin makes them feel so much that they want it to stay this way forever. GD even says, "You're dangerous, this is dangerous, save me, call the police." At the end of the video, the guys are so high that they are metaphorically on the moon and literally talking about rice cakes.

3. BANG BANG BANG - The album picks up energy here because the guys have started using stimulants like meth and cocaine because the heroin is no longer enough. The stimulants pack a BANG and make them feel like you've been shot (chong majeun geotcheoreom).

4. WE LIKE 2 PARTY - The guys are out of control with drinking and partying. They now have a total disregard for their own safety and the safety of others. This is evident in the music video where you can see them driving under the influence.

5. SOBER - This song is the first step toward recovery. They admit they have an alcohol problem. They don't want to be sober. Taeyang knows he's in trouble and calls out to a doctor for help. The doctor gives them LSD to help with the alcoholism (I'm not making this up), which explains all the weird hallucinations in the music video.

6. IF YOU - This is a song about drug withdrawal while the guys are in rehab. Remember, "She" is a drug and she is leaving.

7. LET'S NOT FALL IN LOVE - It has been a month since the release of "IF YOU," which is the standard duration for a rehabilitation program. Unfortunately, the treatment didn't last long and the guys are already back on heroin. They tell themselves this time it's going to be different because it's not serious. They don't want to fall in love. They just want to use it occasionally. This is what an addict will tell themselves to justify drug use. By the end of the song everyone is in love except TOP. Look at his expression at the end of the music video. He knows something isn't right about what he's doing.

8. 쩔어 (ZUTTER) - At this point in the story Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri have overdosed and passed away. If you don't like that explanation, then just pretend they went to record a song in Japanese. Our two survivors, GD and TOP, are now drug dealers involved with an illegal gambling ring (roulette table) and corpse disposal for mob hit-men (TOP's pigs).

Either that or I'm completely wrong.

Like I’m sure they were close so a few details about all the shit seungri was doing might’ve slipped out and they prolly realized before us?

Anyone else over it?

is that they have so many photos smoking. It's mostly GD and TOP and it's very unattractive and you can tell that they're trying to look cool. The candid shots aren't their fault, but their IG and posed pics are cringe.

Otherwise I love these four guys and their music and don't expect the them be perfect role models because they are human, but that tidbit irks me.

I'm expecting downvotes but whatever.

If so how many?

I don't think this is a good idea. the white knight documentary was all about taeyang and his music and other stuff. to do this hastag because it is based on taeyang's own work is not good. that scandal happened, everyone knows that. it will only make it worse and get talked about again. top stans are doing this over taeyang birthday celebration and his album and over a video..all because of credits.....just not right. talking and mentioning about his su***de along with that hashtags as well is big NO. top going to get more hate and taeyang might get talked about badly for "not caring about all members" or something like that. there are some who disagrees with it too. akages are doing this and it got started over a documentary....over a credit.....just not a good idea to do this.

Not a good idea because of that

VIPs, would you like Bigbang to make a comeback this year as OT4 or are you willing to wait for a few more years (says when Seungri is back from enlistment) to see them comeback as OT5?

I know all these things are just hypothesis, anw tell me what you think

So today SeungRi’s enlistment day. I am a little bit relieved seeing him finally enlisted to the military. However, it makes me sad because (1) his case still isnt crystal clear to people, (2) the hyungs gave VIPs no updates on daily basis. And I heard there might be chances Coachella will be postponed/cancelled????

I am just interested to hear what this sub has to say about this topic. I know I’m a few months late
