Recently, G-Dragon appeared on IU's " YouTube IU's Palette". In 2017, the two performed a song together called "Palette" and this song was recreated in a recent program.
Many fans noticed that G-Dragon's lyrics are much different from the original from 2017. In the first version, G-Dragon's rap contains the mood of a man who has just entered his 30s and the confusion of becoming an adult.
Meanwhile, in the 2025 version of "Palette", G-Dragon mentioned his feelings when he was truly old and what happened after his military discharge. In particular, fans noticed that many of G-Dragon's rap lines are highly metaphorical.
The lyrics "I want to tell you that I have enlisted in the army and passed the age of 30. Four seasons have passed and three disasters have occurred..." by G-Dragon is said to mention the group Big Bang as well as the two members who left, T.O.P and Seungri.
The phrase "four Seasons" appeared from the song "Still Life" - a comeback song of 4 Big Bang members after their discharge and is understood to symbolize the 4 members. "The Four Seasons have Separated" makes many people think that G-Dragon is implicitly referring to T.O.P's departure.
In addition, the "three disasters" are said to implicitly refer to 3 scandals that caused the Big Bang group to fight: Seungri's scandal that shocked Burning Sun, which forced him to go to prison and stop his artistic activities; T.O.P's marijuana smoking scandal that caused the male idol's reputation to plummet and recently, G-Dragon himself was accused of using drugs.
Although this is just a fan speculation, with G-Dragon's versatility, it is completely understandable that he always remembers Big Bang with 5 members. Previously, in an interview, T.O.P admitted for the first time that he left the group because he felt too guilty and feared the consequences for the members. After this sharing, fans always hope that all misunderstandings between the members will be resolved so that Big Bang can reunite.
