The night began with G-DRAGON taking the stage to perform his powerful track, Power. Just when the audience thought it couldn’t get any better, he brought out fellow members Daesung and Taeyang to join him for an emotional rendition of Home Sweet Home. But the surprises didn’t end there…
As the performance seemingly concluded, BIGBANG returned for an encore that sent the crowd into a frenzy. They performed two of their most iconic hits, Bang Bang Bang and Fantastic Baby, igniting pure excitement among their fans.
Among the spectators was Single’s Inferno star Dex (Kim Jin Young), whose unique reaction quickly went viral. While the crowd was going crazy, Dex remained frozen in place, his excitement visible only through subtle changes in his hand gestures and facial expressions.
Netizens on the Korean forum theqoo shared screenshots of his amusingly understated yet deeply passionate response. His reaction became a trending topic, even catching the attention of G-DRAGON, who liked a post about it on Instagram.
Dex later explained his reaction to the press upon returning to Korea, revealing that his subdued appearance masked pure shock and admiration for the legendary group.
Of course, Dex wasn’t the only one stealing the spotlight. Another viral moment featured SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi and Woozi, who couldn’t contain their excitement when BIGBANG returned to the stage for their encore. Hoshi was visibly stunned at first, but he soon started dancing with Woozi, proving that even idols can become fans in moments like this
What a way to make a comeback! For those of us who grew up with their music, this reunion was nothing short of emotional. Thank you for coming back home to us, BIGBANG!
