#burning sun

The world had died a long time ago. The oceans had boiled away, the forests had burned to ash, and the cities had crumbled beneath the storms. What was left was sand — endless, whispering sand.

Jarek stumbled barefoot through the dunes, the sun burning into his skin. His breath came ragged and dry. Behind him, a battered dune-crawler idled, its engine growling like some ancient beast. Two men sat atop it, scavengers of the wastes. One of them — a thick-set brute named Rusk — laughed as he held up Jarek’s torn pants like a trophy.

“Maybe next time you’ll keep your eyes open, boy!” Rusk roared, his voice echoing across the emptiness.

The driver, a masked man called Fenn, said nothing. His gaze never left the horizon — always watching, always waiting for movement in the heat mirage.

I think my Korean sisters have all the right to be mad. And I hope we replicate the model all around the world lmao, maybe males should be sperm donors and just that, after all…🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽.

And as for what happened in the Megalia forums, I believe you’re allowed to use a slur against a man bc they’re actively using slurs against women. If men didn’t use: bitch, whore, hooker, hoe, skank, motherfucker, twat, cunt, pussy, tart, son of a bitch, shrew, dyke, feminazi, cougar, milf, tranny, shemale. Then I’d get it… but that’s not the case…

I stopped listening to kpop after my feminist queen Sulli committed suicide and people UP TO THIS DAY refer to her death as “victim of cyber bullying” rather than sexism?? HELLO??

Same happened to my queen Goo Hara, who was a molka victim and actually OFFERED TO HELP DURING THE BURNING SUN INVESTIGATIONS. And the fact that nasty cockroach of a man Kyuhyung from Super Junior is ALLOWED to judge women on a panel after what he did to her???🪳 the fact that BLACKPINK were parading Seungri around??? The fact fuck-ass G-Dragon still has a career?? The fact they were invited to perform at COACHELLA??? (minus Seungri cuz he was IN JAIL!!) fucking GUILLOTINE FOR ALL OF THEM.

I could talk about kpop for houuuurs!! Fucking nasty, gross, misogynistic, exploitative, pedophilic, racist, fatphobic, homophobic ASS backwards business.

- Question asked on reddit 2023

First — yes, there are a lot of signs that Seungri was a bit of an outsider even within BIGBANG.

In interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, you can notice the older members (especially G-Dragon and T.O.P) sometimes teasing him harshly or seeming a little distant. Some fans used to think it was just playful, but after the Burning Sun scandal (2019), a lot of people rewatched old videos and said it seemed like they had genuine distrust or annoyance toward him even earlier.

As for BLACKPINK, you're right — there was a moment where Jennie and Jisoo admitted Seungri made them uncomfortable.

Specifically, in a 2017 episode of Knowing Bros (아는형님), (YG Reality show on Netflix) - Seungri was bragging about helping BLACKPINK with promotions and contacting them. Jennie and Jisoo very politely said they felt uncomfortable when he "overstepped" or when he bragged too much about being connected to them.

It was lighthearted on the surface, but it gave off this "you're trying too hard and it's weird" vibe thingy.

As for what Seungri might have done to make BIGBANG uncomfortable:

Clout-chasing: He often tried to show off about his business ventures and celebrity connections, which could be seen as arrogant or immature. (Annoying!!!)

Lifestyle differences: The other members (especially GD, T.O.P, and Taeyang) were known for being very private and artsy, while Seungri was partying, networking, opening nightclubs, etc. [Also residing to be in Cambodia now, perhaps doing the same stuff.]

Trust issues: After Burning Sun, it came out that Seungri was allegedly involved in illegal activities (prostitution mediation, corruption, etc.). Even if the members didn’t know the full extent earlier, they might have sensed shady behavior.

T.O.P especially seemed uneasy around Seungri even years before the scandal.

In a live stream once, T.O.P straight-up said, "Seungri, please don't contact me" — half-joking, but... half-not.

So short answer:

Yes, it’s very likely that Seungri’s behavior (trying to brag, seek attention, having a different lifestyle) made both BIGBANG and BLACKPINK uncomfortable long before the public found out the full story.
