Is BIGBANG Downsizing? G-Dragon's Instagram Post Ignites Speculation

On social media, G-Dragon, a prominent figure in the K-Pop scene, recently stirred up discussions with a post on his Instagram account.

In this post, he featured BIGBANG's track "Still Life" as the background music, leading fans to speculate about its significance.

Celebrating a Milestone

The timing of G-Dragon's post coincided with the second anniversary of "Still Life's" release, adding a layer of potential celebration or commemoration to the message.

However, what truly caught the attention of netizens was the visual element accompanying the post-a piano with three white keys and two black keys.

This seemingly innocuous image sparked a flurry of interpretations regarding BIGBANG's current lineup.

Implications of Tagging

Adding fuel to the speculation, G-Dragon only tagged the accounts of fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung, omitting any reference to former member Seungri or the group's original five-member lineup.

Many fans and observers interpreted the piano keys as a metaphorical representation of BIGBANG now functioning as a trio, with only three active members remaining in the group.

Netizens' Reactions

The online community buzzed with various reactions to this interpretation:"It's true actually..."

• "It's not the album artwork but he added the image from somewhere?"
• "Why some people are still insisting on the group having four members?"
• "But having the three of them is good enough... They can do everything well"
• "The metaphor using piano keys is unbelievable..."
• "The three are actually the most talented members"
• "BIGBANG with three members is the best"

In recent news, BIGBANG member G-Dragon was spotted attending CES 2024 in Las Vegas, accompanied by the CEO of Galaxy Corporation, the agency he is currently signed with.

He visited booths of major tech companies like Samsung, LG Electronics, and SK Group, showing interest in the latest technology for home appliances, including transparent microLED display panels and AI-enabled smart refrigeration.

G-Dragon's attendance at the event raised speculation about his solo comeback in 2024 after being cleared of drug allegations in December 2023.
