I know, I know, the viral K-Pop wave is coming to a close in Singapore and it is indeed dying down. Not as many people are as into it as they were compared to the peak season of the K-Pop wave's golden years. There is also only a handful bunch left that I know of who are still K-Pop crazy.
For me, the one and only band that makes me tick is BIGBANG.
I do listen to other Korean groups (Jackson Wang!!!) and soloists but the one who really live at the bottom of my heart throughout is BIGBANG (and may I also include some other YG artists like 2NE1, EPIK HIGH).
I have to disclaim that I wasn't a BIGBANG fan right from the beginning. I detested them when I was first introduced to them with their collab song with 2NE1, Lollipop (wy you were the one!) 'cos they looked like a weird bunch with distasteful outfits for their MV. And.... I liked SS501 too much at that time that I couldn't accept a group that differed so much from them.
What changed me initially was Taeyang's solo- Wedding Dress.
However, Taeyang's solo only made me notice Taeyang as a single member of the group and I didn't really listened to their group's songs.
The song that made me noticed that and subsequently fell deep in love with is Tell Me Goodbye. As someone who learns the piano, I was taken away by how soulful the melody was played out on a instrument that I was so ever familiar with. It shook me badly, I couldn't forget the song for days, weeks and may I so proudly say now, years to come.
Since then, I went on to every song that was ever published by the group. But oh well, the Taeyang's glamour from Wedding Dress crowned him for a really long period and he was my bias in the group then. And with that, I overlooked a lot of other efforts the other members and producers, especially dearest G-Dragon, that was put in to the making and production of the songs.
I listened to a lot of their songs, but without depth. Not until G-Dragon's songs truly captured my heart.
It was only until finding out more about G-Dragon and his life stories that I da
