I’ve had the same thoughts about bigbang for the past year… I think they’re doing a full comeback because they feel immense pressure from fans (and possibly yg? since they’re handling the tour and getting tons of money from it), not because they actually want to sing old songs as three. Imo they should do like one anniversary concert in Korea, then call it a day and go back to their solo stuff, occasionally performing together at each others concerts like in the past two years. Jiyong and Youngbae are actively building their own brands and cute characters, do they really wanna be stuck singing old stuff for a year or so instead of creating new things… idk maybe nostalgia is too strong for them too but nowadays I totally get top’s sentiment of letting go of the past and looking only forward.
I still don’t get how they’re gonna handle top’s parts in all the songs without making it awkward. It’s not working in my mind no matter how I look at it. And lbr you’re right, if they release new music as bigbang, not as a feature, that’s it for a possibility of top coming back even if they eventually buy out bigbang’s name from yg. It’s just gonna be a different group under the same name even if the new songs are very similar to bigbang classics, to me all those classics work because of all four of them, take away one person - and it’s just not gonna hit the same, the formula they had was perfect.
Like in full seriousness I have zero hate towards ALL the members bc theyre genuinely just in a shitty situation. But though im supporting the 3 in what theyre doing. This is a subunit at best, its not bigbang.... theyre either going to do a ton of their solo songs on tour and medleys. Or theyre gonna commit to the old songs (and tons of backtrack????) Its gonna start feeling so fcking terrible so soon and I'm genuinely not excited bc hope and delusions really kept me going... tabi is gonna release great albums but I'm still terrified of him as a stage soloist without the members bc they genuinely all brought out the best in eachother.
