Surprised by BIGBANG's visuals in comeback MV after 4 years: Taeyang's makeover is so different, TOP is called the top of Kpop's top male god

After 4 years of waiting, finally, the "Kpop kings" BIGBANG have returned with the new song " Still Life " . This is a sad song about the members' difficult times.

The images in the MV are also deep and meaningful, causing netizens to constantly speculate about the theories embedded in them.

However, a recent detail especially made Kpop fans all over Asia deeply shocked and worried.

According to Kpop saints, the image of 4 chairs placed next to each other represents the current 4 members including G-Dragon , TOP , Taeyang, and Daesung .

However, after that, there was only 1 chair left under the stage lights.

This most likely implies that in the future, only G-Dragon will be active solo, and the other members will retire or stay hidden. 

This is not without foundation because after being discharged from the army, neither TOP, Daesung nor Taeyang had significant artistic activities.

Only G-Dragon often appears in public. TOP even left YG Entertainment, he once shared that there were times when he wanted to give up the path of making music.

4 chairs represent 4 members of BIGBANG

But in the end, there was only 1 chair left in the spotlight

During the past 4 years, TOP, Daesung, and Taeyang have almost been hidden.

Only G-Dragon still regularly appears in public.

This raises the question that after this song, 3 members will retire and only leader G-Dragon will have solo activities.

Only after 4 years of absence and going through many ups and downs did the group come back with a 4-member lineup

Many fans are extremely sad and regretful if this theory becomes true because BIGBANG will forever be the unique, different, and irreplaceable group of Kpop.

However, there are also many fans who think that this is just speculation, there is no basis for confirmation.

In addition, although there are only 4 chairs in the MV, at the end of the MV, BIGBANG used a logo with 5 lines.

Many fans think that this is the group's way of reminding former member Seungri, affirming that BIGBANG will forever have 5 members.

On the evening of April 5, TOP also wrote a letter, expressing his gratitude to the staff of YG Entertainment before leaving this common roof after 16 years of working together. It is known that he will establish a new company and pursue his own plans.

Below is TOP's message for the fans:

The song is finally out!

I wouldn't be here without the help of the YG team. Thank you everyone for the past 16 years. This really means a lot to me.

I think maybe I'm at another important turning point in my life.

I look forward to returning as an inspirational person in the near future.

I am extremely grateful to my fans.

Again, thanks for everything.

IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
