On August 4th, 11pm, through the Naver ‘V’ app, the official release of their new music video and single tracks was met with much fanfare.
BIGBANG’s new single album titled ‘E’ was presented through the live broadcast and the group's ‘Don’t Love Us’ as well as the subunit of GD&TOP’s ‘ZUTTER’, were revealed.
The members talked about their new music, the making of the music video, and even directly answered questions from their fans, through the app. All this happened in real-time, making those watching feel very engaged and connected to the stars.
As the live event progressed, they shared about the dance choreography, the feelings they had during the artistic process and prepared many events for the broadcast. Seungri even noted that this new medium of communication through the app could, “make waves with the Korean music broadcast companies.”
TOP shared, “I’ll do my best”, and Taeyang replied, “I’m never tired when I meet our fans, I can meet them anytime. I regret not being able to participate in the activities last time our album dropped. I’ll make up for it with this new album.”
First, GD&TOP’s ‘ZUTTER’ was revealed, along with the making video. GD remarked that it was a reflection of their everyday lives and that in the genre of hiphop, rap is important and that he wanted to rap in a different dynamic way. Since rap has gained popularity through TV broadcasts, he noted that he has taken a more detailed approach to each line he raps. TOP shared, “I want to show a new side to everyone, and we had a great time shooting the music video.”
Next, the making of the music video for “Don’t Love Us” was revealed. They described the track as one of the most bling-bling tracks. Especially TOP, who shared that his scenes with Ha Yeon Su were “Great. I didn’t know she was that beautiful. When I met her in person, she was prettier than I imagined. I was supposed to portray her lover but I felt like an uncle.” GD laughed and teased TOP about his scenes in the music video.
Taeyang shared that the song, as the title implies, is a warning to not love them, “Like the track says, don’t love us, is the meaning of the song. When you know how things will end, you should be careful not to get too caught up and you should be careful not to fall in too deeply.”
Also, before revealing the music video of ‘Don’t Love Us’, they answered some of the questions from fans and even gave advice to them on relationships. They shared from their personal experiences and gave candid responses to the questions. Seungri caused everyone to laugh when he shared, “Every 2-3 years, cells die and similarly, love can change after some time. The key is to find love that keeps changing”.
BIGBANG’s appearance was the 3rd “Countdown Live” episode in the series, and they showed off their many dynamic sides through the broadcast. Each of their witty styles, sense of humor and tremendous showmanship was visible and resulted in an enjoyable experience. Having the exclusive preview of ‘ZUTTER’ as well as experiencing the release of ‘Don’t Love Us’ together with the artists’ themselves, made for a full and abundant broadcast.
BIGBANG released ‘E’ on August 5th at the zero hour. This new single album includes ‘Don’t Love Us’ and ‘ZUTTER’, which is GD&TOP’s new track and commemorates their 5 year anniversary as a subunit.
