Has this lessen? i don’t want VIP to get a bad rap, I know we love them, but let’s chill a bit, I don’t want Jiyong or Youngbae or Dae to get in trouble or give a wrong image to the world because of this.

  yeah, I hope fans don’t start sending Taeyang and Daesung a bunch of letters too, especially during basic training. These 5 weeks are extremely important for them, I wouldn’t want them to have the added stress of having to apologize to their unit because of fans’ actions
  - felove
    
    I hope so too
    But I can’t help but giggle imagining all military units have a meeting about their supplies running out because almost all BB members enlisting lol.
    Then again it probably won’t happen, vips are pretty mature Fandom

LOL that is the piece of news that Time and BBC chooses to cover!! I guess it does show his influence in music industry across the globe but we have more to BB than our influx of over zealous fans.

The power of GD..

Haha. Yea I’m not even a bit mad. The relevancy of Jiyong is at this level. But um, I do hope that fans have calmed down
- Sabah Sen
  
  Agreed! They need to reign in there desire to send mail. I don’t want GD(same goes for Taeyang and Daesung) to feel overwhelmed and burdened by the antics of zealous fans. They are serving their country and don’t need these types of distractions.
  - Berry
    
    I’m just hoping it have died down by now.
    - Sabah Sen
      
      Me too!

  truly.. am not even a little mad.. just awed! the GD impact.. Though seriously I hope he doesnt have to be sorry to everybody. Hopefully YG can make it up and send them a supply of ink and paper.
  - Berry
    
    I can imagine him bowing to all his troops about the chaos. They probably understand but its Jiyong’s nature to be considerate and apologetic if he unintentionally burden anyone. I’m likely sure if it’s not Jiyong himself, It’s YG who reimbursed White Skull division with whatever materials they need. It’s only logical to do so.

I don’t know what should I feel about this or rather I have mix emotions. I know that the fans love GD but please, he is serving his country as Jiyong. Let him be as a normal Korean citizen during his military service.
mie.

I thought once they enlist we will get less updates about bigbang here and the news about them will slow down but…on the contrary media wrote about seungri and his new bed, about jiyong giving autographs to fellow trainees plus pictures, news on a wife (min hyorin) sending off her husband for his enlistment and now this… They are thirsty for BB, just like us..😂

  True, it’s amazing how everything BB does, instantly make to the news!! Everybody misses the Kings!!

I really hope people can calm down and not cause any more problems for Jiyong (and now Taeyang and Daesung too). And I’m sorry, but this is kinda funny in some way… BB impact has no boundaries!!
This gifset is so accurate LOL

I see VIPs laughing and saying the power of GD however it’s only funny if you are not one of the regular enlistees who were waiting for a message from your family to help you make it through your first week and you didn’t get it because of this tom foolery.

I’m just saying, guys we need a little perspective.

I’m more annoyed by these articles than anything. They were just posted yesterday when YG sent that request days ago. It gives the impression that it’s still happening when the issue could’ve significantly died down. To me it comes off as a cheap attention grab.

Any news of TY’s camp getting swamped yet? Fans fulfiling his request and all..lol
Ema

This is so funny that I actually sent this to my mom too so we can both laugh.
“causing operational paralysis” due to fanmail.
“army unit’s online server has shut down” due to the volume of fan emails.
