Note: She is a Chinese VIP living in Seoul & attended the mini concert today. Before she wrote the fan account, she wrote “what should I write? If I tell exactly what happened a lot of people will be sad”. So, read at your own risk.
Kwon Jiyong was wearing sunglasses when he came out. He was dressed all in black and was even wearing a hat. All of us off stage were saying how good he looked!! Perhaps I was the only person who thought this but while he was greeting everyone, he looked lifeless. From my perspective, he looked like he was the most affected with Daesung’s news. He didn’t even hide his feelings. I believe it’s because he’s the leader and he feels a sense of responsibility. I rarely saw him laugh today, and if he did, it was the laugh where he held his hand over his mouth.
I heard from the fans at the front that Kwon Ji Yong’s eyes were all red and he was crying. He also took off his rings. After he did that, he performed even more intense. Hm. Today, Taeyang and the rest kept patting him on his shoulders or tried to play with him, but he still barely smiled.
One of Taeyang’s questions today was: “If you were a girl, which member would you want to date?” Taeyang laughed then said the question was too outdated. Seungri said, “Then let me ask! Taeyang, where did you get your cute hat from?” (I don’t really remember but I think it was like that) & then Taeyang answered shyly.
At the end the MC asked Seungri “Then where did you get your cute glasses from?” Seungri answered that the glasses were lense-less. TOP then suddenly ran over to where Seungri was and pretended to put his 2 fingers into Seungri’s glasses.
In the middle when they were preparing to sing La La La, Sunset Glow, Haru Haru etc, they used beatbox to accompany them. It was like a remix because they didn’t sing the whole song. Seungri almost finished beatboxing through the whole thing!! Impressive!! Fans off stage all said they all wanted to hear La La La, but == they forgot their lyrics since it’s been a long time since they sang it and their tune were a bit rusty.
During mid break, the MC asked who had the most confidence in dance or who had a special ability and then it was supposed to be the fans going on stage right? The first male fan who went on stage shocked everyone….Daesung! When I looked, I was shocked too. He looked so much like Daesung. His eyes, the way he smiled…and even the way he danced was oddly similar. When I looked at him, I felt my tears rolling down.
At the Q&A, Seungri sang a song about rain and Kwon Ji Yong finally laughed. I felt that it was the most warming laugh he gave during the entire event. Afterwards, I didn’t dare look at Kwon Ji Yong’s eyes. He was sad and he barely hid it. Perhaps he was thinking of what happened to him in 2009. The 3 members were trying hard to bring up the atmosphere. When they sang Last Farewell, TOP changed his usual hand move from up to down. It was really cute. TOP then teased Taeyang and then he did the same with Seungri.
Someone asked TOP a question like which member do you miss the most. The atmosphere got really tense at that point. Everyone was silent then TOP answered, “I miss all the members” ? (Can’t really remember) Daesung’s name was never mentioned during this event but when it came to his part, especially when Seungri and Kwon Ji Yong put their hands on each other’s shoulders, something was missing: Daesung’s smile.
There was a huge thunderstorm today so waiting was painful, not to mention what happened with Daesung. Everyone was really sad but…it was especially sad today. A lot of VIPs started lining up since last night and it was really cold during this season. After the concert started, I don’t know if I should have been joyful seeing them again on stage but Kwon Ji Yong being unable to hide his feelings, his silence, and also the 3 members trying extremely hard to smile and laugh was too difficult for me.
For example during Lies, there’s a part where they all crouch down right? After they crouched down, the 4 of them’s feelings were deeply hurt. You could tell that their minds were preoccupied. Watching them try so hard to create a happy atmosphere was heartbreaking because they were all really sad. The atmosphere got a little better when Seungri did an impersonation and TOP copied him. Also, when Kwon Ji Yong was supposed to sing ‘SAY~~~’, Taeyang helped him cover his part.
Don’t remember which song it was exactly, but it was during the part where we were counting down, the fans at the front suddenly pushed forward and then I heard someone shout, “Daesung!” My spot was further to the back and then all of a sudden, a rush of people came pushing forward and were standing on their tip toes trying to get a look backstage. Afterwards, I thought the person shouted because she must have really wanted to see him and she couldn’t control herself when she saw someone who looked so alike with him.
At the very end when they were saying their goodbyes, fans off stage started yelling, “Encore! Encore!” (it’s a usual routine). My friend said she saw Taeyang glance at Kwon Ji Yong and Kwon Ji Yong slightly shook his head. Even though everyone was disappointed but….no one shouted for Encore after that. We let them leave silently….
My friend said during ‘Tonight’ during Daesung’s part, she saw Kwon Ji Yong sighing and was breathing heavily. During Daesung’s part in ‘Love Song’, the 4 members hid in the shadows. Not only Kwon Ji Yong, but the rest of the members’ expressions didn’t look very good. During the beginning of ‘Stupid Liar’, they didn’t clap to the beat nor did they bang their heads together. When they put their hands together at the end, they all looked really sad.
When I watched their live concerts before, they really enjoyed performing in front of the fans. However, not even 1hr into the mini concert today, I felt like they were all suffering….they only came to only fulfill their promise. I think they all wanted to hide in a corner and cry together instead. I kept thinking about things like this during the entire event. It wasn’t a perfect stage, BIGBANG isn’t 5 with 1 member missing. I always used to think that Kwon Ji Yong could laugh for whatever reason..someone could say anything and he would be so amused and laughed till he couldn’t stop. Watching him smile unnaturally today makes me miss that Kwon Ji Yong.
