Beanie level: Errand boy

First BIG BANG bringing out the bittersweet comeback track, now 2NE1’s surprise performance at Coachella.
MY HEART CAN’T TAKE IT!
What are they trying to do to me?

    They look gorgeous! I got excired when they performed at Coachella.
    I can’t help but point out Dara and that hair! Plus she kicked off her sandals. 😆

      They all look amazing and their performance still wows me. Wish we had more opportunities to see them perform live back then.

      Great to see them on stage. I was going crazy yesterday. 🤭 This is one of the groups that got me into Kpop. Really special seeing them together, especially since the group is close knit. I wonder if SNSD can come up with something. 😉

        I wonder. But SNSD are all doing their own thing now. Not sure if they still keep in touch with Jessica either.

      I really really miss them. Knowing how much they wanted to stay together and perform and how they lacked the support really hurts me still.

”Goodbye now my beloved young days
Our beautiful spring summer fall winter”

I don’t know what to say.
There are too many emotions going through my mind.

I was totally anticipating this “comeback” and when I first listened to the song, I was super excited. It was so comforting to hear their voices again after so long. Yet as the song continued, I couldn’t ignore this weird feeling inside of me and by the end of the music video, it felt like this wasn’t a comeback but a farewell. However, the reality only hit me yesterday when I was listening to the song for the nth time and I found myself crying.

Despite everything that has happened, I can’t ignore the fact that BIG BANG has been a big part of my life. I have been a fan since their debut in 2006 and they were one of the main reasons I fell down the KPop rabbit hole. Their releases consistently made it to my favourite list or even if I didn’t vibe with the style at first, it would soon become stuck in my head.

At a time when KPop hadn’t even reached its global status, BIG BANG were creating unique music and breaking the tradition norms of the Korean music industry. They are probably one of the main pioneers and heavy influencers that helped shape the KPop that many of us know and love today.

Although the future is uncertain and this single feels bittersweet, I’m truly grateful for these past 16 years. If this is indeed the end, I guess it is also time for me to say goodbye to my youth. However, it has been an amazing journey, where I have been blessed to be accompanied by such great music from this talented group. No matter what happens, I respect their decisions and I am truly happy for the time we spent together.

      Thank you for reading. I’m very emotional right now and can’t stop crying everytime I hear the song or think about the meaning behind all this. Urgh…

        It feels so sad to me, too. I want to think it’s “just a song” but it doesn’t feel that way 😢

          It’s an artistic piece that expresses so much of what they have been through and at the same time, hinting of a better future for them whether that is together making music or separately on their own flower road. ㅠ ㅠ

    Ikr, nothing comes out good after the happy family picture (Cha-young best girl). Hopefully the last 4 episodes will worth the wait. I’m hoping for an epic revenge, because as Vincenzo said a quick death is a form of mercy.

      I mean I guess I knew it was coming but it still hurt just the same. He didn’t even get the chance to call her “mum”.

        True, he was on the way to do that but just a tad too late. I was even thinking could he stage it so that it looks like his mom was killed, but apparently no

So I was originally going to seek with revenge on tvn if this scene was a fake out, but I guess the joke is on me for playing with fire, because I was squealing so much I dropped the lighter and set myself alight. SOMEONE SAVE ME!!

      Honestly when he said “I do love her” and she then went for the kiss, I already lost it.

        I was re watching the gallery scene and it feels like it takes them just zero effort for them to be a lovey dovey couple. They naturally gravitate towards each other and hold hands and cha young leans onto him so naturally. I feel like that they just cant keep their hands off each other and were taking full advantage of their act. Song joong ki and jeon yeo bin have such fantastic chemistry.

          Even before that, they seemed comfortable. Someone noted that when Miri the hacker/piano teacher sneaked up on them, you can see Vincenzo automatically putting his hand before Cha Young’s back. I think it’s always been natural for them without them realising. hehehehe the chemistry is on fire.

Me and my friend have been working on a podcast and for this week’s episode we talk about anime and KDramas which I figured would be fun to share with you Beanies. Let me know your thoughts. Any feedback is much appreciated ^ ^

    Oooh, looking forward to this! My anime-watching has fallen off in recent years (still watch, but not nearly as much as before) and I’ve been wanting to get back into it, but it’s hard to figure out what’s worth watching when you’ve been less keyed into anime for a significant length of time. Hopefully, I’ll find some ideas through this!

      I go through phases of watching anime, then dramas then movies then repeat. Also find that there are too many choices out there and sometimes it’s more comfortable just to rewatch things again. hahaha…hopefully there will be some stuff that you haven’t seen.

The reversal and then the result….HAHAHAHAHA!

The reality of falling for Vincenzo hit Cha Young so hard that she hit him with the same amount of force. Poor Vincenzo. Can’t wait to see their next rematch and I hope Vincenzo wins, then gets his own back by doing something shocking…perhaps with his lips.

I may have become slightly delusional.

      I expected no less from Cha Young but that was really unexpected. The fact he wasn’t even mad at her…I can’t with this couple.
