BIGBANG recently took the stage at Coachella, marking an unforgettable moment ahead of the group’s 20th anniversary world tour.
They performed a one-hour set including both group and solo performances.
However, most recently, a writer for the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Forbes, the Huffington Post, and the Rolling Stones posted a message about interviewing the group.
As a result, fans felt that declining the interviews was a huge flex and supported their decision.
