Chapter 32
Compilations
- Question: Your scariest experience since debut?
- Seungri: A scary moment was once 3 years ago, I had a slump. What I mean by that is that I couldn’t control my emotions. Because I debuted at an early age and suddenly gained fame. However, during one of our broadcasts, GD did something to me. During the broadcast, there was a question that asked “Does anybody watch ?” and GD said, “SEUNGRI!” And you know, that’s embarrassing. At a young age. When all the fans are watching too. I was scared that I would be seen as a member who enjoyed looking at inappropriate things. I mean, now, I can pass it off as (this is a play on Korean words) “Of course! I watch baseball footage!” But back then I didn’t know. Broadcasts I mean. I wasn’t really a star but a trainee who really wanted to be a star. That slump came then. I couldn’t control my facial expressions. My face stiffened and “Who, me?” It became like that. All the members were very taken aback, “Seungri~ you watch it~~~^^” “No..” The atmosphere became really cold. What could I have done? The camera’s red light was rolling, and I was breaking out into a sweat.. well after that I got into a lot of trouble.
- In the car I got “You’re a celebrity? Huh? In broadcast even if you’re sad you have to laugh and even if it’s funny you have to cry. Are you kidding me?” I was in a lot of trouble. I cried alone a lot. I mean, I’m a person, I get angry and happy and they’re separate.. I didnt understand so I cried a lot. Yang CEO called me. He must have heard. “What’s wrong” “Nothing” “Did you cry?” “No” “You’re eyes are all swollen” “Yes I cried” Then he said “Seungri, you know, if you can’t control your own emotions how are you going to affect others?” He was right. For example, if a baseball player has to pitch a ball but if his face can be read then a homerun will be hit.. because he can’t control his face. It’s the same thing. During a broadcast, a person who cannot control his emotion and laughs during a sad song or cries during a fun song… what’s the listener supposed to do? I felt like I had been knocked off my feet then. It was so embarrassing. All of it. From then on, the Seungri you see now has been made. I can take any attacks and questions. I think that this is why I can be funny now too.
- Qustion: That went on air?
- Seungri: Of course. You can probably find it by using “Seungri incident” My facial expression changed completely. It was so awkward. You know that feeling? Honestly, like when someone invites me to a birthday party, I don’t go. Most people try to have a huge party with lots of people such as at a karaoke. But then there will be people who know this person who knows this person… but then some people won’t know other people. OK! We’ve met. “Let’s have a toast!” But then there’s always one person who doesn’t raise their classes. Here’s that one person. And then I said. “Let’s have a toast!” “Oh I can’t drink alcohol. I have tea” “We can have one glass” ”I can’t drink alcohol” “So just drink one glass” “I told you I can’t” And they keep picking fights. I don’t like this type of atmosphere. Korea has so many people with aggressive personalities so this is bound to happen. So I realized. You know.
