During this episode, he jokingly confessed, “I don’t want to say this, but now that my members are in the military, I feel like I’m finally living. All the attention is on me. All the employees of my agency only think of me. When I wake up in the morning, there are 100 messages!” When the MCs asked if he felt lonely, he said, “Why would I feel lonely when they’re going to come back?”

While he gave a lot of funny commentary, Seungri also had some heartfelt advice to share with his Wanna One juniors. He candidly explained, “In the beginning, everything is fascinating, but that doesn’t even last three years. On your third year as an idol, you start to want to do things by yourself,” and talked about his own solo tracks as well as his members’.

The youngest BIGBANG member revealed, “As an eye-catching detail on my stage outfits, I always wore a rose on my suit. I wanted to see how popular I was, so I would always go to a mall in the neighborhood of Cheongdang in my stage outfit. When I went around the cosmetics area, I heard people going, ‘It’s Seungri. It’s Seungri.’ I just went around the area two times.”

Seungri also honestly talked about how arrogant he had been when he was younger. He revealed how he had been so arrogant at one point that the MBC director had come to get him because he wouldn’t come out of the waiting room. When the director had called for him, Seungri confessed he had just replied, “I’ll come after I tie my shoes.”

The BIGBANG member advised, “When you talk informally and drop the honorifics, people start to leave you. However, they don’t say it’s because they hate you. In the blink of an eye, my manager and stylist had changed. They didn’t say it was because of me though.” He added, “However, after I finally came to my senses, then during the seventh year of my career, all kinds of incidents started happening. Even when I was sleeping, something happened. Something that I didn’t even know about would be tied to me.”

“I wondered if I could continue my career after that,” Seungri shared. “I started to create other options. Personally, I wish this moment would last a little longer. You never know what will happen. I’m grateful and enjoying being with Wanna One right now.”

He sincerely concluded, “Rather than becoming stronger, I must have self-control. As someone who is responsible as the face of BIGBANG right now because all of my members are in the military, I plan to be highly active so that their empty spaces will not be felt.”

Ong Seong Woo explained that if he personally was given a part he wasn’t confident about or was too high for him, he would ask another member if they wanted to take it. He added that he was better at parts where he belts out, similar to his part in “Energetic.”

Seungri revealed, “For BIGBANG, the parts are almost all [decided] by G-Dragon. That’s because he produces them. He just decides the parts beforehand, ‘Here is the part Seungri sings, here is the part where Taeyang sings.’ He decides and makes the song. We can’t change it.”

Kim Gu Ra interjected, “Don’t you have any complaints about that?” Seungri continued, “That’s why I said once. [My parts] are too similar! I keep being assigned parts that have a similar feel to them.” The youngest BIGBANG member demonstrated what he meant, and sang his lines from “BAE BAE” and “FXXK IT.”

“I remember there was a song where you sing in the chorus,” Cha Tae Hyun commented.

Seungri exclaimed, “I did, in a song called ‘Loser.’ But the funny thing is, I did sing the chorus, but GD and T.O.P sing with me at a lower pitch. At music broadcasts, the cameraman will be looking for me but then film GD and T.O.P.” He jokingly added, “What’s the point of me singing passionately when they’re just going to film G-Dragon?”
