Bugbang music is part of my daily life it's even my morning alarm. I agree with you on everything as long as we are talking about ot4 only.
My opinion with Ri is the Ri that got me through tough times will always be there and he's a different person from the Ri that brought pain to BB and VIP. Can't delete him from my memory and will not try to because he was there, so I'll cherish the good memories of the past and move on. I won't also dwell on hate but I won't wish the current him well. If that makes any sense.
My bias is TOP but I stan BB more than the members individually. I support TOP but can't help it, not as much if he stayed in BB. It's complicated af. I just love BB.
If anyone else knows BigBang, you'd be familiar with everything that happened with them. As a VIP, the last chapter 148, definitely struck a cord. With celebrities I spent my younger years with, the songs and performances that entertained me while I was traveling, going through good times and hard times, it was hard to get through everything that happened with them. As a fan, I just wished them well. To hear that from the artists themselves and be reassured that you'd keep hearing music from them, feels like a part of my identity is safe or saved.
