Big Bang′s Daesung shared his thoughts on what people have been saying about his new hairstyle.

He added with a smile, "It′s a new style where I cover half my face, so I wonder what they mean."
"Either way, it′s a compliment, so I′m happy. I think I have to continue with this concept," said Daesung. "I′ve been getting called handsome without even expecting it."

BEHIND THE SCENES BIGBANG ON WRITING LOSER
“What we talked about from the very beginning of this album was that we wanted to keep it minimal,” said leader G-Dragon during a conversation with reporters at the Conrad Hotel in Yeondeungpo-gu, Seoul on Monday.
“Instead of focusing on how each member could shine in their part, we talked about how we could blend together better as a team. We didn’t get technical with our singing, because we wanted it to be about the emotion. Instead of taking the lyrics into the booth during recording, we memorized the lyrics, and turned off all the lights in the booth to make it more heartfelt,” he said.
“We wanted people to hear the song and have an emotional reaction right away.”

“We wanted people to hear the song and have an emotional reaction right away.”
“It actually started out as a love song,” G-Dragon said. “But since it was our first album in three years, we wanted it to be something that connected more with the public, so we changed the theme.”
“When we go somewhere like Tokyo, we might give these awesome performances and meet 50,000 fans, but at the end of the day we’re alone in our hotel room,” he added. “It might sound ungrateful, but we definitely understand that strange, empty feeling.”
BIGBANG ABOUT THE BAE BAE VIDEO
Meanwhile, the lyrics and music video for the flirty “Bae Bae” was designed to be fun and enjoyed on a simple level.
When asked about the sexually charged atmosphere of the video that had fans and media buzzing, rapper T.O.P said, “It‘s not blatantly sexual. We weren’t trying to make it sexual or dirty, but aiming for something humorous and avant-garde.”
Singer Daesung added, “We wanted something crazy.”
“If you just listen to the lyrics, it’s just a love song,” G-Dragon chimed in. “We wanted to see how we could add a good visual experience through the video, something that would stimulate the imagination and be something wacky. We paid attention to every detail in every scene.”
“We’ve been around for 10 years, and we thought a lot about how we could bring something fresh to the table,” T.O.P said.
“We created each scene with our own ideas, because we knew what we wanted,” said Taeyang. “The video has a lot of our style of wit.”
In the end, the members emphasized that coming back together and performing was all about enjoying the music and providing enjoyment to their fans.
“We talk about how we perform because we love it. If we performed because we had to, even if we didn’t like the music, I don’t think there would be anything we would hate more,” said Taeyang.
