Big Bang - Shout Out To The World! (English Translation) [2009]

We have to lead our whole life as if were still trainees [~ Pt.Seven~]

Yes, we are Big Bang which can perform well on the stage; however, we are not good at socializing personally. I know it sounds like I am trying to find an excuse for ourselves but it is true since we had spent so much time in the practicing room.

We had been spending all of our time there so we barely had any social life. When we 5 are together, we can fool around and laugh our heads off no matter how trivial the matters are. We find it so funny watching each other doing things in front of our eyes, even if maybe it was just a pair of weird shoes that our fellow members bought . However, when we are with strangers, we just don’t know how to strike a conversation with them. We are really ‘social idiots’.

I would rather face thousands of audience rather than speaking to a person face to face alone. My face would turn red if I was left alone to speak to a fan. Even Daesung said that he only got used to facing the fans after quite a period of time.

If I have to point out a weakness of Big Bang, I would say we are not sociable enough. When I met a senior, I really wanted to say ,’Senbei, your new album is daebak’ but it turned out to be a mere ‘hi, how are you?’ ,etc. I feel we were really lacking in this aspect.

However, I have promised myself I would work hard on it since it is of no use to keep saying,’ I cannot do this or that’. I believe that if I am determined enough, I will be able to overcome this.

Moreover, we all know that although we started a bit earlier than others and we were able to do a little better, we would still be eliminated if we did not keep working hard on our goal.

When we were still trainees, we had to be responsible for almost eveything for ourselves, namely what to wear and how to go to the performance venues… Just like other people, we crammed ourselves in a bus when we were rushing time and when we saw there were things that we could help out for others, we would be more than happy to do so with our very own hands.

Even until now, I have not changed. Only things and circumstances have changed, we now have our fellow designers to choose what customs we should

wear, etc. However, what changed in the environment has not changed the inner qualities of us. We know that we have to keep the humbleness and the determination to work hard no matter how far we can go. Getting 1st places in the charts or being awarded are just bonus.

We have to lead our whole life as if we were still trainees.
