Each of the Bigbang members has a very distinct vocal tone, and that’s one of their strengths and what makes them so good - each member is so different from one another. This is no different for Seungri. His sweet voice and distinct vocal colour that only he can do adds much needed diversity to Bigbang’s vocal colour and enriches it. The way that his voice can both blend and stand out during harmonies and makes them that much richer and more beautiful. Just try to imagine a Haru Haru chorus without Seungri’s voice. There would be something important missing. It’s the same for each of them. If you take the voice of any member out of a Bigbang song, clearly it wouldn’t be nearly as good. It is the five voices of Bigbang together that make their songs so amazing. 

The other members have praised him multiple times on his singing in the past. GD said that in particular he liked Seungri’s sweet voice. Taeyang has said before that if he wanted to do a subunit with anyone, it would be Seungri. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. These men are professionals in their field, and if they thought that Seungri didn’t add anything to the group or wasn’t ‘of importance’, then they wouldn’t have acknowledged him at all, seeing as they didn’t need to. They have said on MULTIPLE OCCASIONS that Bigbang needs Seungri and that they are thankful that he is a part of Bigbang. 

If the very people that you respect and are a fan of respect Seungri, then there ought to be substantial merit to his contributions to the group. 

If the very members of the group, who will always know what is necessary for the group better than a ‘fan’ with no professional authority only personal opinion, decides that a member is important, then they very damn well are important.

Seungri’s liveliness brings laughter in each broadcast they are, anecdotes about him are constantly used by Bigbang’s members to entertain both audience and MCs, he, himself, often takes charge of being “the goofball” the one to make fun of, so that the other members would stand out. Daesung can entertain as well, but he too admitted that he has to force himself into being funny and lively as by nature he’s quite calm and reserved.

Beside that, he also takes charge of MCing Bigbang’s appearances on lives, concerts and broadcasts as he’s the most natural at it, especially for korean’s sense of humor.

it’s not a secret that pmo was made to share posts to his circle only, and it’s upsetting that people still want to hack into his account, make 41279513 accounts based on his private likes and how many people he’s following. it’s upsetting to see lots of people in the past few months, through knowing people who have access to his account, posting links to his private posts, screencapping and sharing his posts as “tea”. it’s upsetting that people are using this to find incriminating evidence that he’s dating his member and/or another girl that they’ve been speculating for months if they’re a thing. it’s upsetting that people are excusing this behavior, because “there’s nothing scandalous in his account anyways” like as if, you know, hacking is fine as long it doesn’t get to the media, right?

it’s also totally fine to be racist/sinophobic and generalize an entire ethnicity as stalkerish and invasive people, right? as long as we’re not talking about non-asian international fans who are down to stand outside of a hotel for hours just to look for them, walking around the city to find them, etc. and justify it as “well i don’t see them that often, so i’m gonna take every opportunity i get”? because “koreans see them all the time because they’re so close to them, so i can do this”?  it’s also fine to get someone’s private number because “i paid for it”? ok.
