On 'Good Day', G-Dragon drew attention by directly revealing the current Achilles' heel of Big Bang being reduced to three members.
On the 23rd broadcast of MBC's entertainment program 'Good Day', G-Dragon mentioned the number of Big Bang members.
Before the upcoming project, G-Dragon noted, "When reflecting on the past year, I want to meet those individuals who have been the center of public interest and discussion," mentioning Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung, as well as the 2024 Daesang artists, aespa and SEVENTEEN. He also mentioned the band DAY6 in terms of genre diversity. In addition, he is considering the three-year-old virtual idol PLAVE. G-Dragon expressed, "It would be fun and interesting if we were all in one space."
Among them, Hwang Kwang-hee, Jung Hae-in, Kim Soo-hyun, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Im Si-wan arrived last, with everyone expressing surprise, saying, "I can’t believe we can fit all in one frame like this."
Since it was a full-scale 'I Am Solo' concept, names were chosen. Thus, G-Dragon became Young-cheol, Kim Soo-hyun became Young-soo, Im Si-wan became Young-ja, Lee Soo-hyuk became Young-ho, Jung Hae-in became Ok-soon, and Kwang-hee became Kwang-soo.
Each person introduced themselves one by one. After Im Si-wan, Hwang Kwang-hee, Lee Soo-hyuk, and then G-Dragon introduced himself. G-Dragon responded, "I excel at creating songs," and when asking about when concerts would take place, he said, "If it happens, I will support you," to which G-Dragon also added with a smile, "Be sure to come."
At that time, Hwang Kwang-hee remarked, "It reminds me of music broadcasts with G-Dragon," to which G-Dragon asked about the number of members in 'Empire's Children' that Im Si-wan and Hwang Kwang-hee had been a part of, and Hwang Kwang-hee replied, "I want to form a three-member group with vocal training."
G-Dragon then commented, "We didn’t want to become three, it just happened," referring to the current situation of Big Bang with three members instead of five, as members Seungri and T.O.P left the group due to controversies.
Kwang-hee, who had no such intent, became flustered, saying, "That’s not the implication; what would happen if we say that to someone who came to help?" Im Si-wan humorously countered Kwang-hee, saying, "Did you come to be friends and say that?" causing everyone to burst into laughter.
