BIGBANG’s G-Dragon was recently appointed as a special professor at KAIST and received much attention after appearing on campus.
He shared his thoughts on the experience through an interview with Elle Korea magazine.
“This was a completely new challenge for me, too. I was confused yet excited as if it were my first day at school. I looked around the mechanical engineering department, and it felt like I was at an amusement park because there were so many interesting things.
KAIST is filled with people who explore their fields with a passion. Like creators, they spend hours in the labs and dorms with unclear boundaries between daily life and studies. These students were similar to my past self as I practiced alone through trial and error.”

He also talked about the current status of the BIGBANG members.
Our members? Ah, now there are three of us. No, we don’t talk about the current scene when we’re together. Of course, we talk about topics that come naturally or are hot issues. Don’t you think we are difficult to approach for junior artists?

Although netizens were sad to hear about it, they still hoped the best for the members.
i miss them being 4 🥹 these kings were too ahead of their time and the world wasn’t ready for them yet. i firmly believe they’d be at bts levels of fame in the west had they been for a genz audience rather than milennials https://t.co/NwENTTk9jc

It hurts knowing that TOP quit BIGBANG and isn’t coming back, but I respect the decision because it’s what he wanted. If GD says BIGBANG is 3, then it’s 3. https://t.co/t2JI6TRCfB

It’s a fact that BIGBANG currently has 3 members cz TOP has decided to leave. I have respect for TOP’s decision, but it’s disappointing to not hear TOP’s rap in BIGBANG songs anymore. It’s extremely painful💔 https://t.co/RE2mlll8WB

they are one of the most influential groups in kpop history. they did what they said they would, and now it’s time to focus on new chapters in their lives. i wouldn’t be mad if they decided to leave things as they are now. https://t.co/K5exUyZZYc

While talking about the topic of eternity, G-Dragon felt that nothing lasts forever, but believed that some things could be considered eternal.
Considering our finitude, eternity is impossible…but I think some things can be considered eternal. I understand the desire for love, faith, and friendship to last forever. But if you ask me if eternity is a good state, that’s a different problem. I believe that not all good things stay good, and not all bad situations stay bad forever. If there is no change, would we be able to feel the variety of emotions we do now?
