They also said “We waited a long time as a junior and a fan too. It’s such an honor to be able to M.V’.

As excited as they were, as soon as the M/V for ‘Still Life’ played, they all started focusing on the clip. The vocal line were amazed by TAEYANG and DAESUNG’s part, and rappers applauded G-DRAGON and T.O.P’s part. Some members even got teary listening to the song.

After watching the M/V, WINNER said “BIGBANG is the one and only. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the music, and the weight lyrics hold really touches you”. TREASURE members then said “Different emotions can be felt. We’re looking at the present, but somehow it reminds you of the past”. iKON then added “I think it’s a story that looks back on the past and look forward to the future. It will be a good present and inspiration to fans”.
