Seung-chan's Diary: "This is Sendai" (120713)

Posted by on July 14, 2012

This is Sendai

Last year, Sendai experienced earthquakes and tsunami. It must have been a hard time for everyone.

Today is my first time to Sendai & my schedule was filled with radio, newspaper, magazine, etc activities. The news agency’s interview made me quite sad though.

Reporter: VI-san, have you experienced earthquakes before?
VI: No
Reporter: What about tsunamis?
VI: Not that either.

That’s right, I don’t know how terrifying earthquakes and tsunamis are but it’s an indescribable feeling even to the people in Japan who’ve experienced it.

BIGBANG also went through tough times last year. It was a scary experience going through so many hardships because we are still so young, but I don’t think I should hold a “my life is hard and tiring” attitude. No matter how hard the circumstances, I know I should work harder because of the strength I receive from everyone.

I want to see everyone in Sendai healthy and well at next year’s BIGBANG’s Live. It’s a promise!

I also want to hold concerts next year in places we’ve never been to.

Today, I experienced everyone’s sincerity in Sendai.

    "Today, I experienced everyone’s sincerity in Sendai."

    Today, I experienced Seungri's sincerity - this was very moving and Im sure Japanese VIPs appreciate his honest and kind words! My thoughts and prayers also still go out to everybody who had experienced these disasters!

    I love Seungri, I love Big Bang, I love VIPs! <3

    "The news agency’s interview made me quite sad though". Arghhh! What's the need of questioning on whether or not Seungri been thru those things? Though he's like to be funny all the time but still he's just an human being! Rather facing on Tsunami & Earthquake himself, still he's & other BB's member facing difficulty times last year. Because of that, he's grown to more mature now! Proud of maknae Seungri ^.^

    Seungri was never one of my favourites but now he is slowly worming his way into my heart. His diaries are so nice to read.

    "Have you experienced earthquakes before?"
    Yes, I've experienced minor earthquakes several times, just minor ones- but enough to give me the feeling of helplessness against nature the moment the ground starts shaking and the thought that it will never end although it takes 5 or 10 seconds.When I think what happened in Japan last year,still I can't imagine what they went through..It was so huge and so massive, I can't even compared to mine. As Seungri stated, it must have been "an indescribable feeling"...
    Thanks Seungri for visiting Sendai, and showing your caring, sincere and grown up side once again.

    "I don’t think I should hold a “my life is hard and tiring” attitude"

    True. You taught me something today baby Seungri. A lot of people think you're immature and always fooling around but we VIP's know you're actually very strong and perceptive. No matter what happens we know you can survive. You are named VICTORY after all.

  • airrr

    From his recent interviews and updates, I really feel that Seungri is growing up so much from his inside eventhough he's still witty from the outside. Nowadays, he thinks about other members' consideration while years ago he is so childish and a bit self centered (in a cute way). As the fans grow more love for him, he become stronger and tougher than ever. We love you Maknae Panda <3
