Producing director (PD) Jeon Sung Ho, who is in charge of the tvN variety show “Livin’ the Double Life,” recently opened up about the direction of the show, and teased that the members of BIGBANG will be making an appearance in the upcoming episode.”

The PD began by stating, “CL, Taeyang, and Oh Hyuk were all happy to hear that the first episode was met with a positive response. It took a lot of courage for them to open up about their personal concerns and worries, and I think the response they received gave them a lot of strength.”

He went on to say that “Livin’ the Double Life” differs from other music-based reality shows because it focuses more on telling a complete story. Jeon Sung Ho said, “It wasn’t our original intention, but the first episode dealt with the biggest worries that CL and Taeyang have been grappling with. The rest of the series will follow them as they face their concerns and learn to overcome them. I was really moved by how sincere they were when opening up to the viewers.”

He also mentioned that Oh Hyuk, who didn’t appear in the first episode, will charm viewers in his own way as he said, “Oh Hyuk is a funny person. He’s the kind of person who can make people laugh without saying a word. He’s going to be revealing his new house and he’ll bring more laughs to the show.”

Finally, PD Jeon Sung Ho teased an appearance by the other members of BIGBANG when he said, “Next week’s episodes will feature the members of BIGBANG. I was really moved by the unchanging friendship that the members have forged and maintained since their debut days.”

“Livin’ the Double Life” aired its first episode on November 23 and airs every Thursday on tvN at 10:50 p.m. KST.

On November 23, BIGBANG’s Taeyang appeared on tvN’s variety show “Livin’ the Double Life,” where he talked about his worries and love for his group.

During the show, Taeyang shared how he was worried about going on a long hiatus while in the army. He said, “I always have similar worries with every album release, and while it might never be ‘the end,’ it feels like I’m going to hold my ‘last’ performance [soon] because I have a long hiatus awaiting me…I wonder if it will still be possible for me to release albums and perform on stage after I come back from the army.” Defconn, one of the hosts of the show, was surprised that Taeyang would have such a concern. Jung Hyung Don, another host, commented, “I think everyone, including idols, are worried about their future.”

In another part of the show, Taeyang discussed the songs that he and the other members would perform during their upcoming dome tour in Japan. He expressed his desire to sing less group songs at the concerts because the four of them were not complete without T.O.P.

Taeyang added, “I feel a bit conflicted about [this concert] doing well, because it’s just us four.” Then he sighed and said, “What can we do? We’re done now.” He looked lost in thought as he wondered how he was going to prepare his last good-bye before his enlistment to his Japanese fans.

Taeyang, who was in Thailand for a solo concert when a part of this episode was filmed, also reminisced about the last time he came there two years ago. This time, however, he was alone, and he couldn’t help but express how much he missed his members. He said, “To be honest, I always miss them. Even during this interview, I miss them.”

Taeyang even changed hotels to the one where he and his members had stayed two years ago. He explained, “The performance team booked a different hotel. However, I really liked the times I spent with my members during the MADE Tour at [a different] hotel, so I changed hotels.”
