Several of BIGBANG’s YG Entertainment labelmates got emotional while watching the group’s latest music video!

On April 16, YG Entertainment released a reaction video of WINNER, iKON, and TREASURE watching BIGBANG’s music video for their new single “Still Life.”

The clip begins with the artists talking about how much BIGBANG means to them, describing themselves as fans of the group and commenting that it’s an honor for them to watch their music video early.

As the music video for “Still Life” begins playing, the three groups express their awe at how great the BIGBANG members look and how cool the video is—and as they get increasingly caught up in their emotions, TREASURE’s Haruto and Yoshi are eventually unable to hold back their tears.

After watching the video, TREASURE’s Choi Hyun Suk notes, “What we’re watching is the present, and there are no clips from the past [in the video]—but somehow, I kept thinking about the past [while watching].”

Meanwhile, iKON’s Bobby remarks, “It makes you look back on your past memories of the ‘Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter’ [the literal Korean title of ‘Still Life’] that have passed by, and it also makes you look forward to the approaching ‘Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter’ that’s yet to come. I think it’s a story about life.”

WINNER’s Song Mino also comments, “Because we all know the story of BIGBANG so well, I think we’re especially able to feel the full weight of the meaning that each and every phrase [of the lyrics] holds.”

Bringing up the lyric “I miss the boy and girl who cried and laughed,” TREASURE’s Yoshi explains why he burst into tears by sharing, “Personally, I always spent the times when I cried and laughed together with BIGBANG’s music. So that lyric really hit me hard, and I suddenly started crying.”
