Pann: Non-celebrities pretend to be Bigbang at the airport

1. [+318, -7] GD one is so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+288, -9] If you've liked Bigbang, you'd know that the truly detailed one is TOP, not GD ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Honestly, GD's gestures are well-known and the second gif is overdoing it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The person who imitated TOP did the best observation. But the way GD stretches his arms and the way he dresses is on point.

3. [+224, -8] Why is this so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+163, -8] What's this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Daesung one really looks like him.

5. [+140, -2] The way he imitates GD is so well-done ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He's so detailed.

6. [+127, -3] TOP f*ck ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did they pick a random person and cover him up because they couldn't find a lookalike ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He looks like he's just starting to learn how to walk.

7. [+104, -2] GD is overdoing it but the TOP ons is so real ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Angled shoulders and arms, big steps ㅋㅋ The way he tilts his head is an amazing detail.

8. [+90, -2] TOP is crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+60, -3] I'm an ex-VIP and this is insane ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Daesung looks real and TOP is so similar. GD ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They caught Seungri's arrogant vibe, too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+55, -2] Wait, this isn't Bigbang? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Instiz: In 2009, a lot of people bought this book

- Thank god I don't have one

- When I was in school, I used to take turns with friends to read this book ㅋㅋㅋㅋ At that time, it was fascinating that celebrities wrote a book

- I've never seen it... I didn't know that Bigbang wrote a book

- That'll be my pot stand

- I read this book for a book review in high school and I got scolded by my teacher ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- When you bought this book, they also gave you a diary

- I can't even throw away the book because my father bought it for my birthday since I was a Bigbang fan and he wrote a letter in the book ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

- Tablo's Pieces of You is a great book

- Our J-Hope...



- I bought this book and 'If You Stop Now, There's No Spotlight' by Cube's CEO

Rap Monster downgrades G-Dragon's 'Heartbreaker' results?


Kim Bong Hyun: "But considering the hip-hop tradition that 'attitude' is important, releasing a solo mixtape after doing idol group promotions could be seen as pretending to be hip-hop. The criticism is that it's contradictory and not cool, even if the mixtape is good."

Rap Monster: "I understand that people can view that way. But I'm very greedy. I want to pursue many kinds of music. I think these criticisms will go away if I end up making good music and people listen to it. I don't want to be swayed by this kind of thing anymore. I was swayed too much until now. I still remember when G-Dragon released 'Heartbreaker'. The reactions were totally different from the reactions for 'One of a Kind'. He did well like that, but those that hate G-Dragon still hate him now. You can't help it."




In fact, G-Dragon all-killed Melon chart with his 'Heartbreaker' album.

Pann: What's with BTS Rapmon? (feat. dragged GD)

1. [+257, -48] When artists do an interview, don't they usually refer to a sunbae as (name) sunbae-nim? Who is he to be judging that GD haters keep hating him when he's a hoobae ㅋㅋ A lot of people already saw a new side of GD on Infinity Challenge. I'm quite speechless...

2. [+183, -19] I'm a VIP and I don't want to be associated with these kids anymore ㅠㅠ They'll call us sensitive every time ㅋㅋ

3. [+126, -31] It's really funny how Rapmon fans say Rapmon is after Zico ㅋㅋㅋ What about Bobby and Song Mino?

4. [+73, -4] Honestly, Song Mino, Bobby, and BI are the underrated ones. Rapmon has nothing but he drags a sunbae in his interview while Song Mino semi-wins on SMTM with hit songs like Fear and Okey Dokey, Bobby wins on SMTM with YGGR, and BI makes Empty, Born Hater, Hook, and My Type. What did Rapmon even achieve? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I didn't even mention GD because he's not at the level to be mentioned in this.

5. [+65, -1] In another interview, he talked about how he likes and respect Bigbang but judges them in other interview. Heartbreaker was hurtful to GD fans and Bigbang fans. Did he have to say that? Couldn't he be more careful? And what's with "He did well like that, but those that hate G-Dragon still hate him. You can't help it."? Makes me so mad.

6. [+63, -3] "He did well like that"? This sentence makes me laugh and dumbfounded ㅋㅋ Who is he to be talking like that ㅋㅋ
(tn: The sentence could come off as arrogant, it doesn't translate into English)

7. [+52, -3] They said they like Bigbang... He should've treated him as a sunbae, at least.

8. [+52, -4] They can't even beat Bigbang's direct hoobaes who are also their hoobaes and he dares to drag GD ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Oh, is that why they called Winner a golden spoon since they can't beat Winner and iKON?

9. [+46, -3] Golden spoon, fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He feels inferior to YG artists

사용자첨부이미지

Rapmon: "Winner has always been issued since before debut but we had nothing when we debuted. We think that we got here from 0 and we believe we can keep rising while thinking about our start. Our strategy to be superior to Winner is our album color. Winner is lyrical but if we show dark and wild sides, I think people would be attracted."

How to become a top boy group (feat. Bigbang & EXO)

Pann: How to become a top boy group

- Have Bigbang's digital sales or EXO's physical sales
- Have Bigbang or EXO's fandom size & power
- Become as popular as 2013's EXO
- Have a representative song like Bigbang
- Win daesangs like Bigbang and EXO without robbing an empty house
- Maintain popularity like Bigbang or EXO

=

1. [+244, -33] I've never seen a group like Bigbang. They debuted more than 10 years ago but they're still the top. It's unbelievable. They don't even look like an old group. Their fandom doesn't lose to trendy groups' fandoms and they're still gaining new fans. Is there another group like them?

2. [+216, -15] It's easy to say "do it like Bigbang" "do it like EXO" but I'm sure this can never happen from currently active groups.

3. [+181, -13] Other fans think it's easy to be the top for 10 years but it really isn't

4. [+111, -0] As I was stanning EXO, the hardest thing was when Bigbang's MADE and EXO's Love Me Right promotions overlapped ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+107, -1] These two groups had comebacks in June last year. I'm an EXO-L and I thought SM was crazy. It's like they were testing EXO-L's fandom power.

6. [+99, -6] I got goosebumps when Bigbang and EXO competed and no one lost

HOT, god, and Bigbang as TOP3 boy groups of all time


HOT
The best idol group of all time & one of the first idol groups. Had the biggest fandom in the history of Korean music industry.



god
Had the biggest physical sales of all idol groups. The first idol group to have 'national' title.



Bigbang
Signaled the start of digital sales. Introduced a new paradigm. One of the first idol groups to self-produce. To last long, a group has to either have a Shinhwa-like bond or solid solo careers like Bigbang.

Pann: TOP3 boy groups of all time

1. [+58, -12] How come there's no TVXQ? Do you not know Mirotic?

2. [+48, -33] TVXQ, not god

3. [+35, -26] Take god out

4. [+28, -5] Why take god out? We can just make it TOP4 and put HOT, god, TVXQ, and Bigbang. To Mother is still a good song to listen to. Oh, is it because god is not an idol group?

5. [+25, -9] Honestly, Bigbang has the best dignity. Digital sales, Youtube views, concert sale, popularity, they have everything.

6. [+24, -41] TVXQ, not Bigbang

7. [+19, -18] I'm a 01'er and I heard TVXQ's songs more than Bigbang's. Where's TVXQ?

8. [+18, -7] If we're comparing TVXQ and Bigbang's peaks, TVXQ is bigger... The actual rivalry was TVXQ vs SS501.

G-Dragon's wealth


Galleria Foret - 3.03 billion won
Pocheon Dolcebita (owned by his father) - 1 billion won
Royalty - 0.8 billion won annually
Bamsum Jai - 1.3 billion won
Digital sales & others - 10 billion won
Total - around 15 billion won

Pann: G-Dragon's wealth

1. [+127, -2] He has a land and a cafe in Jeju Island and he's planning to build a town there.

2. [+122, -2] YGK + 3 billion won worth of stocks

3. [+94, -36] What's with the downvotes ㅋㅋ Are you jealous?

4. [+55, -1] He earned billions with concerts, he must have more than that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ YG's income division is really awesome.

5. [+52, -2] He has more... 15 billion isn't everything... One CF is a few hundred millions already.

6. [+42, -0] Reminds me of what Daesung said. He was asked which member he'd date if he was a girl, and he picked Kwon Jiyong because he's rich ㅋㅋㅋㅋ His wealth is amazing.

7. [+42, -0] So it wasn't a rumor when someone said G-Dragon's current wealth can feed three generations... I envy him.

8. [+40, -3] Bigbang members all have a cool life. Wealth aside, they have a class. They said they don't give birthday presents to each other because they're earning so much, so their presents have to to be something like a house.

TOP's cigarette controversy + Taeyang the only non-criminal Bigbang member?


Pann: Gif of Bigbang TOP throwing out a cigarette

1. [+282, -22] If this was EXO or BTS, they would've gotten hate for a week on Pann

2. [+200, -11] This is crazy. VIP-roaches won't shield this, right?

3. [+168, -5] That's just wrong

4. [+78, -9] Why are they getting no hate? Just like the top comment is saying, this would've blown up if it was EXO or BTS.

5. [+71, -4] TOP holding a cigarette on GD's Instagram... Teamkill ㅋㅋ




6. [+54, -0] I really hate that type of men

7. [+48, -0] I don't have anything against EXO but Chanyeol's offensive gesture and Baekhyun's underage drinking were top Panns today. They do deserve criticisms for that. But when Bigbang gets into a controversy, it gets buried after a few days and they get called 'artists' again. If they know who they are, shouldn't they be more modest?

8. [+33, -5] I'm a non-fan and I admit that Chanyeol's offensive gesture was rude and he gets called out for it all the time. But Bigbang doesn't get hate even with drugs and stuff.

-

Pann: Taeyang is the only one who didn't commit a crime in Bigbang?

1. [+127, -34] Taeyang = Dissed other idols for not staying until the end at an award show. He wasn't even present at Seo Taeji's ending stage.

2. [+123, -17] It doesn't matter if they commit crimes, they get shielded all the time ㅋㅋ

3. [+113, -20] It's not a crime but he talked shit at an award show ㅋㅋ He's a hypocrite.

4. [+42, -3] I'm so sick of them. If they committed mistakes, shouldn't they be careful?

5. [+34, -4] This is such a mess. Bigbang fans are still shielding everything ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+30, -0] I'm just amazed that top comments on Naver articles are full of praises ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If it was another idol group, all of the top comments would've been hateful comments.

7. [+28, -4] Their fangirls are shielding criminals, they must be on drugs too

8. [+25, -0] Sorry to mention other idols but why do iKON, EXO, BTS, and Seolhyun get more hate than criminal idols? I really don't understand.

9. [+23, -6] You know why people go easy on Bigbang? Because they're ugly

Articles on Seungri's car accident found with flaws after YG fails to press charges on reporter


Reporter K was accused of falsely exaggerating Seungri's car accident in 2014 by writing that Seungri drove under the influence, claiming that the reason for the accident was most likely due to drunk driving.

Article in September, 2014:
The police commented on the rumors of drunk driving: "We did a sobriety test at the spot. He was not drunk at all. Speed driving is the key point. He admitted to be the one that caused the accident, so it will be fully covered by insurance."

Today's article:

The judge ruled that the word 'pharmacy' alone cannot be used to assume that the reporter tried to make the company sound like it was producing drugs. As to Seungri's car accident, a sobriety test did not take place so there is no proof if he really was under the influence or not. Also, the reporter claimed that he did not make up the news, but received the information from an associate working in the car accident industry. Therefore, it cannot be said that the reporter falsely exaggerated in the articles. Ultimately, the reporter cannot be charged for defamation of character, and has been found not guilty.

Pann: The truth of Seungri's car accident

1. [+233, -22] Last year, there were accounts that said Seungri drank before driving. So it's true that Seungri left the ambulance without doing a sobriety test.

2. [+231, -31] So scary... As expected of YG

3. [+171, -18] He must've left the ambulance without doing a sobriety test and took the test when he was summoned later. A lot of people use this trick to earn some time. You get into an accident, get on an ambulance, run away, and take a sobriety test when you're not drunk anymore. His sobriety test didn't happen at the spot. It happened at a police station when he was summoned to be investigated.

4. [+115, -11] It's interesting that he's still able to appear on broadcast after one night stand and speed driving.

5. [+99, -1] VIP-roaches, stop downvoting this and try to refute instead. Oh well, these bitches even manipulate votes.

6. [+85, -18] So we're free to call YG pharmacy since the court said it's not defamation of character ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+75, -43] He takes a picture of himself in police uniform after speed driving. Goosebumps....




8. [+67, -10] Honestly, the video of him speed driving would be even more scary if he wasn't drunk. Do you think someone with a sane mind would drive like that?

9. [+66, -5] He should've been careful after Daesung's incident, tsk tsk. How can he drink and drive as a fellow member?

10. [+61, -7] Drugs, one night stands, and car accidents aren't as controversial because they're Bigbang
