'Hope we find a way for all to be together': G-Dragon's message for BIGBANG's 20th anniversary raises eyebrows—does it include T.O.P & Seungri?
During their conversation, Park brought up the 20th anniversary of Infinite Challenge, pointing out the show's impact on BIGBANG's rise to fame. G-Dragon responded warmly, saying, "Since we debuted around the same time—we even celebrated our 10th anniversaries around a similar period," highlighting the long-standing bond between the group and the iconic variety show.
Every song is a diary
When asked if he has a favorite BIGBANG track, G-Dragon said, "Regardless of which songs did well, every song feels like a diary to me. When I listen to them, they bring back all the memories." He named 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter' as his personal favorite, emphasizing its emotional weight and how deeply each song is tied to different phases of his life.
About BIGBANG's future
Looking ahead to BIGBANG's 20th anniversary, G-Dragon reflected, "We never thought we'd hit 20, so it feels really meaningful. I just hope we can find a way for all of us to be together."
The comment quickly sparked speculation among fans. Although he didn't name anyone specifically, many interpreted his use of "all of us" as a subtle nod to former members T.O.P and Seungri—whose absence from current BIGBANG activities continues to be a delicate subject.

Park Myung-soo jokingly warned, "If you guys don't do something for your 20th, I won't stay quiet. I'll seriously file a complaint," prompting laughter from G-Dragon.
G-Dragon mentions T.O.P since the scandal
In a previous appearance on Untitled TV with Jung Hyung-don, G-Dragon reflected on past musical collaborations. He even mentioned ZUTTER, his joint track with T.O.P.
He also brought up sub-units like GD & T.O.P and GD & Taeyang, stirring strong emotions among fans. It marked the first time he publicly referenced T.O.P since the drug-related scandal that had sparked significant public backlash.

Johnny Lever SLAMS Modern Comedians For Vulgarity: ‘No Aukaat To Stand Before Us'
Johnny Lever criticizes today's comedians and actors for relying on vulgar jokes and Hollywood-style humour. He says real talent lies in clean comedy. Veteran comedian Johnny Lever, a name synonymous with clean, family-friendly humour for over four decades, has expressed his concern over the increasing reliance on vulgarity and double entendre in both films and stand-up comedy today. In a candid interview with actress Kunickaa Sadanand on her YouTube channel, Lever shared his disappointment with the shifting sensibilities in Indian comedy, blaming the growing influence of Hollywood and the erosion of cultural nuance. 'People are freely abusing today because of Hollywood films," Lever observed. 'In the West, it's common to use foul language and make crass jokes, and now our actors and comedians are copying that. They've developed a habit. They only watch English films now." Kunickaa echoed his sentiment, noting, 'A lot of them don't even know Hindi properly anymore." Lever, who has acted in over 300 films across a career that spans generations, believes that this unfiltered comedic style has become the norm rather than the exception. 'They pick up exact things from Hollywood, thinking, 'Chal jayega, kya farq padta hai.' That's how double meaning jokes have become so common." Turning his critique toward the current stand-up comedy scene, Lever didn't mince words. 'Most of today's stand-up content is full of double meanings. But when we were trained in the craft, we were taught never to take that route. If we start speaking double meaning, these new guys won't even be able to stand before us. But we never chose that path." In a pointed remark that seemed both a challenge and a call for introspection, Lever added, 'If they are really talented, I challenge them—say something clean and still make people laugh. That is the real test. I'm not saying they're bad, people are enjoying their content. But I have a family audience. I have to be answerable to that." He also took pride in the fact that his daughter, Jamie Lever, who has carved her own space in the comedy world, upholds the same values. 'She does solo shows too and doesn't rely on vulgarity," he said with evident pride. Ironically, Lever's latest screen appearance was in the fifth installment of the Housefull franchise, a film that drew criticism for its heavy use of innuendos and over-the-top crass humour—an unfortunate alignment with the very trend he critiques.

Bad Girl Teaser Pulled Down After Madras HC Flags 'Sexualised' Portrayal Of Minors
Last Updated: Bad Girl teaser removed from YouTube after Madras HC flags concerns over bold depiction of minors. Court cites risk of corrupting young minds. The teaser of Bad Girl, a Tamil coming-of-age drama that stirred intense debate since its release, has been taken down from YouTube following a directive by the Madras High Court. The film, produced by acclaimed filmmaker Vetri Maaran and presented by Anurag Kashyap, came under legal and public scrutiny for its portrayal of teenage sexuality and cultural identity. Directed by Varsha Bharath, Bad Girl explores the inner world of a Brahmin schoolgirl grappling with desire, freedom, and the weight of societal expectations. The teaser featured scenes of the young protagonist candidly discussing sex and relationships, a portrayal that sparked backlash from certain right-wing groups who accused the film of 'negatively stereotyping" the Brahmin community. Justice P Dhanabal of the Madras High Court, while ordering the removal of the teaser, remarked: 'If the children see the said contents of the videos, certainly it will spoil the minds of the children." The court's stance reflects growing concerns about the representation of adolescence and sexuality in Indian cinema, especially when intertwined with religious and caste identities. Set against the conservative backdrop of a traditional Tamil household, Bad Girl charts the journey of a teenager who dares to question norms, chase her desires, and break free from familial and cultural constraints. The teaser hints at a narrative that confronts moral policing and slut-shaming head-on, as the protagonist seeks a boyfriend and attempts to live life on her own terms, only to face ridicule and condemnation. Despite the controversy, Bad Girl has already made waves internationally. It premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, where it received the prestigious NETPAC Award for its bold storytelling and nuanced depiction of youth, gender, and identity. The film stars Shanthi Priya, Saranya Ravichandran, Hridhu Haroon, TeeJay Arunasalam, and Sashank Bommireddipalli in pivotal roles. Whether Bad Girl emerges as a landmark in Indian indie cinema or becomes another lightning rod in the culture wars remains to be seen — but it has undeniably started a conversation that won't fade anytime soon. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 20:08 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
