Singer Daesung revealed the tumultuous behind-the-scenes story of his Coachella performance.

On the 1st, a video titled "Welcome, BIGBANG and Girls' Generation Combination for the First Time?" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Jipdaeseong'.

In the released video, when asked by the production team about his impressions of "tearing up" the Coachella stage, Daesung replied, "What do you mean tearing up? It needs to be stitched back together," before bursting into an embarrassed laugh.

He added, "It was our first time performing on stage as three members in a long while, and fortunately, many people viewed it positively, so I came back with a grateful heart."

Regarding the decision to include the first trot song in the Coachella setlist, Daesung stated, "I didn't intend to make it seem like I was upholding national prestige. As we prepared our solo stages, I thought, 'Perhaps this is a stage only I can do,' so I did it."

He also explained the display of the message "Hello. This is Daesung" on the stage's large screen: "There was no grand intention. That screen was blank, and when Yongsam (G-Dragon) saw it during rehearsal, he suggested, 'How about writing "My Name Is Daesung"?'"

When the production team remarked that the 'Spring Summer Autumn Winter' stage was moving, Daesung revealed, "It was our first performance as three members. While other parts had no vocals, this song featured T.O.P's voice, which sparked a lot of discussion. I also enjoyed singing it."

Meanwhile, Daesung shared the tense moment when his passport was stolen before the Coachella performance. He said, "I don't know if this will be broadcast, but my manager's hotel was ransacked this time. All our luggage was stolen, including our passports. We entered using emergency passports," causing a stir at the scene.

He further added, "Last time, I had my passport stolen in Hawaii. During filming, someone broke the car window, grabbed my manager's bag, and fled. I had my passport stolen twice, so there was that episode."

Meanwhile, on the 20th (Korea time), Daesung appeared with the full lineup of BIGBANG at the 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' (hereinafter 'Coachella') held in Indio, California, USA, setting the venue ablaze.
