You are going to force the the band to make a blatant statement and then you’re gonna act like rabid wolverines toward anyone who agrees with them because you’re hurt.

We’re not talking about the american music industry where being a Teflon Don and the concept of “i got away with (insert list of crimes)” is admired. We’re talking about an industry where musicians are called idols and put on (for the most part) “innocent good boys you want to bring home to mom” facades. Once that facade is broken it’s pretty much over.

If y'all really want him back that badly, I suggest you hype him to move to the US as a solo artist and join Chris Brown in that whole cesspool where he can brag about what he did and be commended for it.

Because seriously even if he did try to come back. There is no image he could sell other than that. It’s exactly why robin thicke’s career tanked after Paula. Even tho thicke committed no crimes he was caught doing things that contradicted his public persona (which was at the time “a ladies man but for one lady only, his wife”) and people weren’t all about that. He then had a choice to make, he could own what he did and ride that “douchebag playboy” wave he stirred up (which might have worked for him) or he could actually apologize. Instead he took the third option where he “apologized” but made it all about him in hopes no one would notice and he could get his career back on track and it bit him in the ass.

The same applies to this situation this boy he was caught doing things that contradicted his public persona, but instead of atleast trying to apologize, he ran and the entire world saw it happen. There is no image in K-Pop that you can sell based on that.

You all are looking at this from purely a fan stand point. From a business stand point he is kryptonite, he is Jared from subway, he is jenelle from teen mom. And even tho bands love to throw that whole “we’re brother’s and will be together forever” stuff around it’s just simply not true. Hell, look at oasis, they actually were brothers and the hate each other.

The second a band signs a contract they become a business. If you do things that hurt the image that the business wants to portray to the world then your going to be booted (and pulling a “you can’t fire me, i quit” is not any different). It’s the same as being employed, and then being fired for making inflammatory statements on Facebook while having your employer on your profile. Your going on the “do not rehire” list even if there are a group of customers who complain about you being gone.

You people are literally hurting the band as a business by trying to advertise them with him included. Whether or not you believe or agree with it, as far as the world is concerned he is a dirty unreilable business man who hangs around a bunch of convicted serial rapists. That is not someone you can market to the public. Not unless he goes through a SERIOUS personality change and even then it would take years of continuous effort on his part for the public to trust him enough to support him. And I’m talkin efforts like setting up organizations for rape survivors, speaking out for womens rights…Etc. things that show that he is no longer the person he was. And considering that he still hasn’t even made any sort of statement expressing his remorse over what happened to those women, I can’t see that happening in a billion years.

So it’d be a damn good idea to seperate the idea/concept of him from the rest of the band because they’re still here and they’re ready to rock the house without him. And you can either accept that these are 2 seperate entities now and look forward to what IS going to happen or you can be bitter about it.

Anon, I can’t figure out from this ask alone if you’re a salty SR stan or an embittered Dae stan… but I’m gonna hazard a guess and say you’re not a Dae stan.

Because if you think Daesung is going to be “bothered” then you haven’t seen him working the crowd like a pro during his solo tours – because he is a pro! Even during his Dome Tour in that massive venue (in which he said he couldn’t even see the fans on the upper levels) he had no reservations about interacting with and teasing them, so sassy and full of himself that even I was surprised. Pleasantly surprised. And what about DnaShow? As if he needed to prove that he’s more than capable of having fun with the fans with nothing but a mic, a tacky cape, some stage lights, and his own goofy off-the-wall sense of humor. He was one of Korea’s biggest up-and-coming variety stars for a reason before the accident took that away from him.

He’s more reserved with BB because 1) not all the fans in the audience are there exclusively for him and he’s aware of that, and 2) he isn’t comfortable stealing the spotlight from his hyungs out of turn. He can, he just chooses not to. Daesung is a phenomenal performer with a big personality when he wants to be. When he’s allowed to be. And I think he’ll step up and assume the role beautifully. That said, I’m hoping the loss of BB’s self-appointed MC will make room for all the members to speak up and be heard more. Not just Daesung.

Why do I literally see so many Daesung stans side with SR stans? I can’t follow many Dae stans because they’re OT5 and are right behind him. I don’t get it. Is it like a maknae line respect thing...? Because if you ask me Daesung stans should be the LAST stans to support SR and be on his side. I’m generally asking this I’m not saying it in a rude way. I’m curious af on this.

Don't be so surprised about dae stans supporting seungri stans. In a way i kind of understand, because i always think daesung stans was somehow always left behind? Idk how to explain this properly SIGH

Hello, sorry for such a late reply. I barely use Tumblr now =/ I don’t think I’ve addressed this out publicly to anyone other than the people who personally follow me on my Twitter account, but BBVIPChannel isn’t coming back to sub videos anymore. I’ve spent 6 to 7 years subbing BIGBANG videos and I subbed them because I wanted to make sure that VIPs can understand what BIGBANG is saying and to enjoy watching them. I spent prioritizing on subbing so much that it had taken a toll on me. I completely lost motivation to sub because I never took a break from it. Most of the team members and I have been busy with work, school, and life so we haven’t been focused on subbing for the last few years and the majority of us have moved on. A few of the teammates have branched out to sub on their own, but they’ve also taken a break. 

I did not shut down the forum. Upon being away from subbing, I just wanted to leave the forum up and running so that people can go on it whenever they want to, but the hosting site that the forum was under changed hosts & merged with another company. I tried to retrieve the forum, but I somehow didn’t have access or permission so I wasn’t able to get the forum back up. Trying to get the forum back stressed me out. It really sucked to see that no one can go on there to get links to watch any subbed BIGBANG videos anymore. I still have all of the subbed videos we’ve done, but I don’t have them with me since I’m away for college and don’t want to get caught uploading so many videos on the school’s server. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to re-uploading them all because there were so many videos and many uploading sites have become more strict nowadays.

To anyone reading this and have most of our subbed videos, you are more than welcome to re-upload them. Just don’t crop out our logo and credits from the videos since my team and I spent time subbing the videos for everyone to watch.

Thank you, everyone, for supporting my team and me, and I also want to personally thank my subbing team as well as the volunteer translators/subbers who all helped me make BBVIPChannel last this long. It was a pleasure subbing for you, the VIP fandom.
