Big Bang finally dropped their much-awaited comeback song, "Still Life," and it is now breaking records. However, despite the victory, one netizen claimed the track seems to foreshadow the group's disbandment.
It has been four years since Big Bang last dropped their song together as a group. Now that they have officially returned, will this be the last time the V.I.Ps will see them work together?
A poster obtained and translated by AllKpop revealed a netizen's analyzation of the scenes of each of the group's members that seemed to have a hidden, heart-breaking meaning. In G-Dragon's sequence, he is seen standing in front of his fans, but it eventually fades away, hinting he is ready to say goodbye and leave the band.
T.O.P, on the other hand, is the only member who is on another planet. He seems far from other members and is ready to go in a different direction.
For starters, he has left YG Entertainment and is about to go solo, though he will still join the group and their promotions.
In addition, the netizen noticed the verse written the scenes where Taeyang appeared. "Ps. 30:11 - You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy," it read.
The netizen explains this phrase seems to hint Taeyang appears to be thankful for his time with the Big Bang and is now ready to reminisce the past.
Lastly, Daesung is seen looking at his old self, while all the members start walking away from the place they are after the word "Life" appears in the music video. Does this mean they are now ready to go on their separate ways?
If those are not enough, the netizen also points out several parts of the song's lyrics that say "life passes." They also reminisce about the time that has passed while singing about the days that are gone.
However, fans should only take this assumption with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed yet. Despite the claim, it cannot be denied that Big Bang's comeback song is now dominating the music scene.
After releasing "Still Life" on April 5, it quickly tops the iTunes Top Songs charts in 33 regions, per Soompi. It also tops the realtime charts of the major music streaming sites in Korea, China and Japan through Melon, QQ Music and Line Music.
It also ranked No. 1 on Twitter's worldwide trends just within one hour after its release and on Weibo's Hot Search List. By the looks of it, Big Bang has reclaimed its seats as the kings of K-pop.
