BIGBANG has become a hot topic because of the comments they received from fans regarding their past controversies.

On August 26, a post about BIGBANG began trending on instiz‘ community board under the title, “ASIDE FROM BIGBANG'S CONTROVERSY, THEY WERE SERIOUSLY THE BEST GROUP EVER…“.

The netizen who posted said, “Even aside from Lies, Last Farewell, Haru Haru, Bang Bang Bang to Fantastic Baby, all their other songs and even remakes such as Sunset Glow, the members solos and their b-sides.They were all super hits. YG must've earned an overwhelming amount of money. But because of Seungri's controversy, TOP's drugs, etc. their image became unlikable. Yet, they came back with Still Life and hit super daebak again."

The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

In some ways, though, they were the best group ever.

Their controversies were also some of the best ever.

Why should their controversies be left out? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㅎㅎ I'm so mad that their fights have made me feel like I don't remember anything from school.

They could have been the nation's pop group, which is why I'm still angry.

But their controversies were too much to handle.

It's funny that you think they're the strongest if we ignore their problems.

Still Life did well, but it was entirely because Bigbang's name was on it. But seeing that Still Life did well despite the big scandals, it reminded me of that American who got his mug shot taken, but because he was so handsome, he became very popular, and when he got out of jail, he started his career as a model…

But is it true that they are the best group if you don't count their fights? They did well with all of their digital releases and with all of their "celebrity activities." Obviously, their disagreements were just as big.

Their fights were also the most interesting.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
