On 15th, a staff from Inkigayo said, “GDragon hadappeared for 2NE1’s encore performance after winning #1 on the show. Hehad enjoyed the moment of joy together as senior-junior singers fromthe same company.”
But the full encore performance was not shown hence viewers were not able to see his appearance.
Jung Trustee mentioned “It’s hard to say that this is a musical that is an autobiography of Bigbang. The obstacle that Bigbang went through to become the Bigbang they are now and the obstacles that the main characters go through in the musical is quite different. However, this musical is about students dreaming to become a star celebrity; this could be the story of Bigbang or any of the celebrities in Korea.”
They are dramatizing the piece of work Suldoyoon’s Sul and Company has had for over ten years and is putting it on stage. 3~4 of Bigbang songs are going to be used as tracks for the musical.
