Big Bang Seungri’s Heartfelt Confessions about Almost Giving Up

Big Bang's Seungri openly talks about his difficulties and how he even thought about giving up music.

On August 12 Seungri wrote a post on his Facebook page about the hardships of a long-time singer's life.

Seungri said, 'I lost all courage for music. I was so overwhelmed by the talent of the other members that I thought about abandoning music and going down a different road.'

He continued, 'One year ago when I finished my acting work in Japan and returned to Korea, YG's head Yang Hyun Suk proposed a meeting. In his room on the seventh floor, we had a conversation that changed my bad attitude and wrong thinking instantly. Even when I was a nobody, Yang Hyun Suk was the one who took me into YG and put me in Big Bang. At times as a president, at time as a mentor, Yang Hyun Suk helped me become a better human being. He had great expectations for my music. He told me to take the energy I spent fooling around and to put it into my music. My chest felt like it would explode, and I was so ashamed.'

He also said, 'In the end, I created a work that even Yang Hyun Suk is satisfied with, and that's how my new album came to be. Although I composed and wrote all the songs for my mini album, in the end it is actually Big Bang's music. It's been greatly influenced by producer G Dragon's music for Big Bang in the past eight years, and I've grown immensely thanks to the influence of the other members of the team.'

He continued, 'I've also learned a lot from Big Bang. I want to take everything I've gained and put it into this album. As the team's youngest member, I don't want to embarrass my elders. Even preceding its release, this album has transformed me, and I expect to grow even more through this album. I'm going to make up for all my past mistakes, for the staff that sweat for me, for my team, for my lovely fans, and for myself.'

Seungri is making his solo comeback in two and a half years. The mini album, produced by Seungri himself, will be released online on August 19, and will be available in stores on August 21.
