Big Bang talk about friends (during Haha's Ten Ten radio-show in 2007)
I was reading this old interview they did back in 2007 for Haha's radio show and I'm just sitting here tearing up nonstop, I can't help it.. I just had to share with you guys. The pain they go through in order to achieve their dream, something that everyone has the privilege to have but hey didn't, I look at Bong and Bae's old pictures and I said that all their friends are so strange and funny, those were all they had. Baby and his loneliness, Dae... you are so amazing to me, I just want to see you and hug you, that is all I want to do, please don't keep your feelings bottled up, it's hurting my heart.
INTERVIEW WITH HAHA
Haha: Why don't you say something to your friends that were a bit jealous of you?
SeungRi: Um.. I'm human before a singer... I want to be friends with you. But even now if I were to go to school, my friends look at me differently like I'm a celebrity. I don't really have those kind of friends where I can tell them everything that's on my mind.
GD: That shouldn't be a problem though. TaeYang and I also went through that. SeungRi you have to go to them first...
HaHa: When was the most hardest time?
GD: I think when we were going to school also. We couldn't make that many friends and when we go on trips we didn't really have people to hang out with.
TaeYang: Well not so much the small trips but our graduation trip. We're supposed to remember all the times we had with our teachers and friends but we couldn't do that and I still miss it and feel sad. We're singers now and we debuted and everything but when I look out the window and I see people in their uniforms I don't know... I always feel that I want to join them and just blend in with them.
GD: It's only been one year since we graduated, not even a year and we want to wear those uniforms again and go to school some more.
HaHa: What are your thoughts on it?
GD: Well the worries and thoughts that SeungRi's feeling right now we all went through it before and we want to tell SeungRi that you have to go to people first and put out your hand saying you want to be friends with them and I don't think we're ever had anyone reject. After a while of talking to them and getting close to them they won't see you as a celebrity but more of a true friend.
TaeYang: Yea the thing I regret now is that I couldn't go up to people and even now I don't really have anyone but my members to let my heart out to. When we're on breaks or when I'm by myself and I don't get phone calls from anyone I feel really lonely.
HaHa: TOP, you have a lot of good friends. You keep in touch with them. How is it?
TOP: I use to be the type of person who can't really open up to people. When I was younger I didn't like talking to people and other than friends in my neighborhood I tried not to meet new people. I couldn't open my feelings to people and I think that was very bad because after I became a singer it wasn't good for people to see. I realized my personality wasn't very good and I'm trying really hard to fix that. Also because of my tough guy image I think it gives off a very mean look so I try to make people laugh by doing anything even stupid things. I try hard not to look like someone who has no feelings because when I'm just standing it gets to the point where people would ask me "are you mad?" Back then and even now I try really hard to always laughs.
HaHa: What about you DaeSung?
DaeSung: At first when I meet someone I'm really cheery and everything but I also can't really talk openly about my feelings. I can't even talk to my family about it either.
GD: He keeps almost everything to himself.
DaeSung: I'm only really happy outside. One day after our debut and I looked around, I realized I didn't have any friends that I can really talk to... I use to think what should I do and I really wanted a friend. That was when I was going to school, I had a group of friends that I use to hang out and I sent them each a text message and they all said they were busy with school work and things like that so I said 'Let's keep in touch and call each other often." But... calls never came... I sometimes think maybe they forgot about me but when I think about that it scares me... I think everyone needs friends...
TOP: There was this one thing that DaeSung said to me that made me think 'Wow' DaeSung never ever complained about anything when he was going through a hard time. And once I talked to him one on one and I asked him DaeSung why don't you ever tell us when something's bothering you or upsetting you? You can tell us anything. And DaeSung said Hyung I don't have those kind of problems. When I have those kind of problems I pray and it all goes away. And when he told me that I felt that I have a lot to learn from him.
Haha: I've seen TaeYang or DaeSung at church while passing by. TaeYang was wearing a white tank-top and had his hair braided. But I felt that they pray really hard. Even though DaeSung's younger he's had a really deep heart. Usually it's the hyungs that take care of the younger ones but you see a lot of the younger ones taking care of the hyungs...
TaeYang: I like that he prays and everything but I wish he'd at least tell his members and talk to us. There could be times when he mistakes things and if we talk about it we can figure it out and help him feel better. Also because we're his hyungs.
HaHa: Say something to him now...
TaeYang: Uh.. DaeSung-ah... It's about 2 and a half years since we've spent time with each other and I don't think I've ever seen or heard you upset or complain about anything... I'm more worried about that... I know you're tired and upset and you just keep it in. I would like it if at least once you told me how you're really feeling so I can try and help you because I'm your hyung and since I can't do that I feel sorry. In a way it's my fault for not being able to go towards you. I hope someday you'll be able to tell me anything that's on your mind.
DaeSung: Because of my personality you guys came as close as you can. But now I'll take one step closer and knock on your doors and talk to you, I hope you guys take it in good. But honestly I think when I talk to you guys, since you all have your own worries I feel like it's going to just add on to your stress.
GD: That's the stuff you need to stop thinking about! Now I'll throw it away... *throws air*
DaeSung: Now when I'm going through a hard time I'll give you guys my mind and body... I'll looking forward to what you guys have to say... *leaning on GD's shoulder*
HaHa: Wow today I truly felt your pain. It makes me wonder what I thought when I was your age.
SeungRi: But the thing is when we sing and dance with Big Bang we get happier. So you don't have to worry about it~
HaHa: Everything that you guys talked about today wasn't for the radio show it was all real.
