News of Jiyong Kwon leaving YG has been on the kpop rumor mill ever since reports of Kwon Leader having a fall out with 2ne1 ladylove Sandara Park circulated. Reasons for the DARAGON split is what is plaguing VIPs both local and global. The rumors of a third party has been accounted to the least likely person, long-time friend and co-Big Bang member, Yongbae Dong. Fancams of Dara and Taeyang coming out of Cafe Yumi, an underground cafe popular in Japan that has opened their first branch in Seoul, has been circulating the net. The FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY ONLY policy of Cafe Yumi made it a haven for local and international celebrities. But coming out together from the cafe has caused a scandal or two. Dara has explained that she was there to talk to her dongsaeng in private and nothing else. Jiyong has been known to go to Cafe Yumi in Japan and was instrumental in getting the branch in Seoul put together. It was assumed that the reason why Dara and Yongbae frequented the place was because of their mutual support to the Big Bang leader. Applers hearts were broken over a fancam of Dara coming out of the cafe with Yongbae following her out and shots of them hugging were documented. Rumors of a love triangle buzzed as Jiyong's world tour did not include a "attending noona" unlike the last Big Bang Tour. Taeyang was frequently questioned because of IG and Twitter posts that included him with Dara and other people. To this he said he was just updating his brother of things happening in Korea.

Jiyong reportedly took a sabbatical to get his mind cleared. Activities for the leader of the most successful five-some to date have been cancelled. YG claims that this was just a routine vacation that the members deserved after a major event, in this case it was Jiyong's world tour. The other members were slated to do their solo activities while Jiyong is on vacation and Seung Hyun is in the military. Daesung has taken on a new soap and Seungri was preparing for his own concert. Taeyang is slated to release an album soon.

But to date no one, not YG, not the Netizens, not the previously active YG and Twitter account of Kwon leader could show where he has chosen to take this so-called vacation.

Sheila looked at the update from allkpopfever like it was news that North Korea actually bombed South Korea. It was bad enough she heard that MBLAQ's concert was cancelled due to some technical problems, but now this. She was floored. News of this caliber broke bands. She didn't care if they were forced apart by ambition or their labels, she hated disbandings to the core. She didn't mind the other ones but this was Big Bang.

In her opinion her life was divided into B.B. and A.B. Before Big Bang and After Big Bang became a part of her life. She had learned Korean, loved Korea and ate Kimchi ever since. She had been taken in by Jiyong's agyeo and his swag. Then his out of this world fashion sense hooked her. She had gone to that concert in SM MOA where she almost missed the beginning because the crowd and schedule control of the stupid company that produced the concert were abysmal. Hundreds of VIPs ragged because of missing the part where Big Bang emerged form their capsules. She didn't miss it. She had her light stick and was there spazzing from start to finish. She had gotten the best seat she could afford and brought a mini-stand for her camera and clicked record. Her battery could handle it and she placed a clean high memory on her camera. She was not going to take any pictures. She brought three concealed cameras, one was for the before the concert, one was for during and the last one was back up in case one ran out of space. She had a bag of merch at her feet that she tied to her leg for safekeeping. Her fanvidoes would get thousands of hits, others she kept for her own spazzing.

For her Kwon Leader was it. She was not the fair-weathered kind of VIP. She was there from the time they debuted and through the time he had a scandal that almost threatened his career. Big Bang without him was unthinkable. It was an unparalleled disaster! She prayed to the KPOP Muses that they not let something like that happen. And this was the worst time for her to go somewhere where she could not be a click way from learning about what was up with her beloved bias.
