BIGBANG just recently concluded their M.A.D.E. [VIP] Tour in Hong Kong last July 24. But instead of leaving on a high note, one of the members was the center of a controversy.
2016 BIGBANG M.A.D.E. [VIP] Tour in Hong Kong faces backlash?
During the July 24 BIGBANG M.A.D.E. [VIP] Tour in Hong Kong, five lucky fans were chosen via a ticket raffle to join G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong), T.O.P. (Choi Seung-hyun), Taeyang (Dong Young-bae), Daesung (Kang Dae-sung), and Seungri (Lee Seung-hyun) on stage for a fun BIGBANG plus VIP (BIGBANG fans) games.
Since most (possibly all five) of the chosen fans were Chinese and BIGBANG are from Korea, there is an obvious language barrier.
G-Dragon, T.O.P., Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri and the five VIPs had to speak in English to communicate.
But since the BIGBANG VIPs had difficulties in expressing themselves in a foreign language, G-Dragon's chosen VIP was just whispering when she talks, perhaps she was embarrassed to speak a different language.
To figure out what the BIGBANG VIP was talking about, G-Dragon leaned a little closer to listen, but the fan took it as G-Dragon leaning for her to kiss him on the cheek. She understandably took the chance and kissed G-Dragon in front of thousands of fans!
Basing on G-Dragon's reaction, it appeared that the BIGBANG leader was caught off guard and was laughing uncontrollably the whole time.
At one point, G-Dragon was seen dropping on the floor and covered his face in embarrassment . Some took it that G-Dragon was upset that the BIGBANG VIP did what she did.

Koreaboo even reported that Korean netizens didn't appreciate the fact that the BIGBANG VIP took advantage of G-Dragon.
But for those who are hardcore fans of BIGBANG and G-Dragon himself, his reaction wasn't surprising at all.
Every BIGBANG VIP knows that even though G-Dragon started his career at a very young age and had been one of the most influential celebrities in Korea, the 27-year-old rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer and fashion icon has always been shy.
Yes, he got shy when the BIGBANG VIP kissed him on the cheek without prior notice. But no, he wasn't mad at all.
How did I know this? I was actually there!
