After BIGBANG released their second album in 2008, Seungri had done some individual promotion for his solo song and he did really surprise us and changed our perception about him.
Through those activities, we can witness he has transformed from an innocent young kid into a mature and charming person. The image that he presents in this solo album 'V.V.I.P' is the side of Seungri that we have not seen before. He is even more mature and knows how to manage his style well. The music talents that he did not have chances to show us while he was doing group activities have also been shown this time. In order to present a fresh Seungri to us, we can see that the veteran members of YG production team, like Teddy has not participated in his album. On the contrary, Dee. P and Choice 37 and other new producers have provided their new ideas to it.
Immediately after the new album has released, the songs have then claimed the top spots in many music charts. Before Seungri actually came back, his song had already captured the first place in M!Countdown. It also symbolizes as a singer, Seungri has successfully conquered our hearts. His comeback has even shocked some American artists, a famous US artist, Paris Hilton has given high praise to him and even wrote 'so sexy' on her blog.
The members of BIGBANG did not carry out any group activities in the past two years but they have all found their right areas to develop. G-Dragon and Taeyang have had their solo music activities started, TOP has started his acting life and Daesung has also tried to participate in variety shows and TV programmes. Comparatively speaking, Seungri did not have much solo activities, especially in the field of music. So. when he noticed that brothers have been so active in different areas, would he not want to chase after him? For this question, Seungri said he believes in destiny and he thinks everything happens to each person just in the right moments. If there are no opportunities for him, then it means that his time has not come yet. What he can do is only keep polishing himself and then when the chance comes, he can grab it once and for all.
"V.V.I.P is my destiny.'
Take a look into Seungri' World
He might seem to be optimistic but in fact, he does not have much confidence of himself deep in his heart. He has been like this since he was debuted. He said the reason that he could not start his solo activities very early is he was not so sure about himself. And nobody would support him to do so, too. He is not the person who decide which genre of music that BIGBANG is going to concentrate on and that's why when others asked him whether he could compose songs and lyrics, 'I don't have such kinds of talents' would always be his answer.
In fact, he has started to learn composing songs a long time ago and he has taken every risk to make this album. At the very beginning, they only planned to release one single but YGE president, Yang Hyun Seok and other production team members reckoned it would be better to release a mini album for him. At last, there are totally six songs in the album that Seungri has participated in the production. Seungri likes to add his own ideas in the details of the song so the title of the mini album , 'V.V.I.P' does also carry a profound meaning. In the MV of 'V.V.I.P', the image of key always appears from time to time since he wants to let us know we are all 'V.V.I.P' who are holding the key of his heart and are welcomed to walk into his world.
Since BIGBANG is going to comeback in the end February, the promotion period of Seungri' promotion period will be shortened. He is also sorry for it, 'I want to show more sides of myself to you all. How about I still uphold the identity of Seungri when I am promoting in the group too?'
Walking in the midst of being proud and having no self confidence
The maknaes (the smallest member in the teams) nowadays all do have their special characters. It is not only true in BIGBANG but also in other groups. Maknaes are not the ones who always have to seek protection from their big brother. There are many times that the maknaes are even more mature than other members in the group. It is because they entered the showbiz at a really young age and they have been growing in many difficulties and failures. There are times that they do not even have time to mourn for themselves when they fail. Ever since hi debut, Seungri's adventure can be said to be the script of a youth drama. He has loved dancing ever since he was small and because he did not want to limit his development in his home town, he went to Seoul to chase after his dream. He failed many times, he also stood again afterwards. He did not have influential people to support him nor skills that would shock people.What he had was only the expectation of a boy about being a member in the showbiz and his blind confidence. When he looked back, he also agreed that he did not bring anything with him at the beginning but confidence. Even later he was admitted to BIGBANG afterwards, when he was facing the elder brothers whom all have different skills,his confidence could not be upheld anymore. Imagine the cruel situation that he was in at that time. How brilliant his team members were! However, the only thing that supported him to striving for his dream was still the inborn confidence. When he recalled the period that when he was still a trainee, he said the the weapon that the president had in order to deal with the trainees was 'ignore' them. His greatest wish at that time was hearing the president to call his name once. Yes, that was our Seungri, no good body, no excellent vocal skills and he even doubted his dancing skill that he once so proud of. Since BIGBANG has become more and more popular, Seungri' confidence has been consolidated again. He started to try more things, acting, musical,etc. His skills have been improving and so does his mind.
People always asked, 'What can a maknae do in a band?' ' I want to change this perception. This is my greatest interest too.' Today, Seungri will not be sad when others doubt his ability but he will prove his ability by his success. What motivate him most are his fan. Among the stars, he might be the one who interacts with fans most. When he is on the stage, he catches every one's attention and when he is leading his every day's life, he tries to satisfy every want of his fans. He is grateful to receive the gifts of his fan and will later wear the gifts to appear in front of the camera. Although he does not often say thank you,he used the most direct and frank way to convery his thankfulness. Since he is such a Seungri, there should be more and more people who will follow him wholeheartedly. (Toji)
