Singer G-Dragon reminded everyone of his status as a living legend by holding a full reunion for the first time in 19 years through the YouTube channel 'Jipdaesung', making him the first idol to do so.
Last week, Daesung's YouTube channel 'Jipdaesung' released a two-part 'Big Bang 19th Anniversary Home Party', with a preview on the 19th and the main episode on the 22nd. The video featuring the full reunion of Big Bang, which first drew attention nine months ago, has now reached 15.8 million views, and the new video celebrating their 19th anniversary has already surpassed 2.3 million views in just two days, generating a lot of buzz.
In this video, G-Dragon, along with Taeyang and Daesung, not only thrilled fans but also added to the fun with congratulatory messages from friends who rushed to join, including CL, Seventeen's Hoshi, actor Go Kyung-pyo, Son Na-eun, singer Vince, dancer Dugi, and Doni.
Among them, G-Dragon caught attention by transforming into 'MC G-Dragon' for the first time. Despite being nervous as it was his first time as an MC, he introduced the members with a playful tone, saying, “I will call my brothers, inspirations, and old men. Old men~,” and his witty remarks brought laughter throughout the show.
In particular, G-Dragon's relaxed demeanor and high energy with the members drew viewers in even more. He reacted enthusiastically to every comment from Taeyang, boosting the mood, and smiled warmly at the youngest member Daesung's MC skills, creating a heartwarming atmosphere. Moreover, when Daesung praised him, saying, “You did really well today, hyung, really,” G-Dragon couldn't hide his happiness, responding, “Of course I did~,” which made viewers smile.
Additionally, to commemorate Big Bang's 19th anniversary, G-Dragon entered a memory room prepared by the production team, reminiscing with the members over their debut albums and photos. From pictures of their first solo concert in 2006 where they dressed as SES to group photos taken at Taeyang's recent concert, the members gathered to look back on their past moments, creating a warm and fuzzy feeling. They even reenacted old photos, delivering an emotional experience to fans on their 19th anniversary.
Most importantly, G-Dragon raised interest by mentioning Big Bang's 20th anniversary next year, saying, “There’s so much to draw for the 20th anniversary. If I keep drawing, it will become a picture.” In response, Daesung revealed that they are gradually preparing for the anniversary, raising expectations.
As Big Bang reunited once again for their 19th anniversary, fans expressed their excitement on various social media and community platforms, saying, “I’m already looking forward to Big Bang’s 20th anniversary,” “This video reminds me of the legendary comment, ‘I borrowed a person's youth and was happy, so I will love them in any form,’” “It’s been a while since I’ve seen GD so high-energy,” and “I’ve been waiting for this video. Thank you for protecting Big Bang for 19 years.”
