Big Bang singer Daesung has opened up about performing on stage with bandmates G-Dragon and Taeyang again for the first time in years.

Earlier this month, Big Bang’s Taeyang kicked-off his ‘The Light Year’ tour in Seoul, where he invited bandmates Daesung and G-Dragon to perform some of the group’s hits on stage.

In a new episode of Daesung’s YouTube show Zip Daesung, the vocalist offered a behind-the-scenes look into the concert and shared his thoughts on their first performance together since December 2017.

“It was pure joy,” he said. “The fact that people still remember us and talk about us is just incredible, you know? For a group that’s almost 20 years old, that’s quite an achievement. I’m truly grateful for that.”

The singer also shared that it felt “surreal” to perform Big Bang songs again. “As I looked at Taeyang while performing together on stage, my heart raced. It was such a fun and exciting experience,” Daesung added.

Daesung also hinted at possible appearances by Taeyang and G-Dragon on his YouTube channel. “It was the first time we saw the reactions to [the three of us together]. Since we got a taste of it, I think we have become more open to doing more activities together in the future” the Big Bang singer said.

“Some content that we can do without pressure could be Zip Daesung, I believe that they feel that way too,” Daesung continued. The singer also shared that Taeyang often gives him feedback on his YouTube channel. “It seems like it’s time for us to reunite on Zip Daesung.”
