[+590] TOP has only been able to exist because of Big Bang... Honestly, G-Dragon is the one that has kept Big Bang alive

[+433] It's sad that he talks about Big Bang in this way when it's what has built his existence. It's behavior that will even turn fans against him. Honestly, GD is the one that has kept Big Bang alive ㅋㅋ

[+277] Will he be promoting his solo album in a wheelchair too?

[+222] Big Bang sure named themselves well - a true explosion ㅋㅋㅋ

[+200] Must make fans feel pretty sad... because there's no reason to explicitly erase Big Bang from his life like this...

[+108] He's free to leave the group if he wants but why is he denying Big Bang? You were a Big Bang member, but that's not stopping you from doing what you want to do now? 

[+77] I can't stand him

[+54] Funny how he wants to erase the Big Bang name from his life but he's keeping the name TOP

[+40] Big Bang was always about GD and Taeyang anyway ❤️

[+36] Who do you think you are? 

[+25] Let's be real, it's more like no one wants him in the group than this being a real "exit" 

[+23] Big Bang was always meant to succeed with just GD and Taeyang anyway, there was no need for the rest of them

[+17] And so there were three

[+5] His entire career is built off of Big Bang and here he is trying to erase it ㅋㅋ

[+579] Honestly, all Big Bang ever needs is Taeyang and GD

[+361] TOP has no care or consideration for VIPs. It's honestly sad that this is how he's choosing to announce it to them. Sigh.

[+251] I don't think even Big Bang fans wanted TOP to come back anyway ㅋㅋㅜ We all just want Youngbae to release a solo, Daesung to come back on variety shows, GD and Taeyang to do more challenges together... Us fans are older now, we can't keep up with much more. All we're asking for is a trio album together and Daesung on TV more ㅜㅋㅋㅋ These three are enough to make up Big Bang...

[+153] Wasn't he meant to go on a spaceship to space or something?

[+119] Exit? Don't you mean you were kicked out? ㅋㅋㅋ

[+92] He's such a piece of sh*t, no manners or consideration for his fans

[+65] As if anyone ever needed him... Daesung, GD, and Taeyang are enough

[+38] That X mark on Big Bang is so rude of him... considering all the years they spent together;

[+35] Rap - GD, vocals - Taeyang and Daesung, these three are end game

[+32] Never needed him

[+13] I thought he had already left??

[+3] I'm thinking this exit is more for Big Bang's left. He probably knows that remaining in the group will only taint the group.. I'm sure he'll keep in contact with them ㅋ

[+3] Only the hard workers are left

[+83] Big Bang as a group seems to have already reached its end so there really isn't much more meaning behind his exit than there needs to be. I think he meant this more as a way of erasing his past and starting anew, which is hypocritical to claim because I'm sure he's still making money off of everything he's done with Big Bang, and his new business ventures will be built off of the experience he's gained with Big Bang, so he's used the Big Bang name till every last drop and is turning away from his fans without any consideration, hurting them like this for the only fact that they used to like him as a Big Bang member. 

[+27] Not an ounce of consideration for his fans

[+24] I'm always amazed to see ajummas still opening their wallets for guys like him ㅋ

[+14] D*mmit, my heart's in pieces, f*ck this

[+12] That X over the Big Bang, was that really, really, really necessary? That rips my heart into pieces

[+6] Did he get into a fight with the other members or what? If you want to leave, leave quietly. What's with the X mark? Fans are already upset with things as it is, there's no reason to hurt them further like this. Your life wouldn't even be what it is today without Big Bang, why are you being so f*cking ridiculous

[+4] Upsetting... but I'll be awaiting your solo

[+3] This is just so upsetting ㅠ
