BIGBANG member G-Dragon revealed the reason behind his recent activity of pressing 'likes' on social media.

On the 21st, a video titled "Family Gathering ft. BIGBANG" was uploaded to Epik High's YouTube channel. The released footage featured BIGBANG members G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, who had visited to promote their comeback.

That day, Tablo told G-Dragon, "Taeyang waited almost an hour. Daesung arrived about 20 minutes ago." In response, G-Dragon clarified, "I actually arrived before Daesung."

Then Tu-cut asked, "But why did you come in so late?" G-Dragon replied, "I usually do a lot of things while riding in the car." When Tu-cut followed up with, "Are you pressing 'likes'?", G-Dragon answered, "I have to press 'likes' too. Today, I couldn't even press them yet. There was just too much to do."

G-Dragon also explained his approach to using social media. He turned on his phone's screen-sharing feature and showed Instagram directly, saying, "For example, I turn it on like this. The algorithm almost always shows me content. Since everyone already knows about it, I just press 'like.' If I like something, I press 'like.'"

Previously, G-Dragon drew attention after it was revealed that he had pressed 'likes' on posts related to singer Jennie, who was the subject of dating rumors, and Japanese model Mizuhara Kiko.

Hearing this, Tu-cut asked, "Jiyong, do you press and view thumbnails only when they feature yourself or BIGBANG-related content?" Tablo jokingly responded, "We should make all our future thumbnails about BIGBANG."

When G-Dragon expressed confusion, saying, "It's my 'like,' so why?", Tu-cut replied, "If you press 'like,' news articles get published. Don't you still not realize how influential you are?" Tablo also added, "Don't just throw your 'likes' around carelessly. They're more valuable than you think. You're very famous," which drew laughter from the group.

In response, G-Dragon also shared the background behind why he started pressing 'likes.'

He said, "Didn't we take a long break? While we were resting for an extended period, other members came back first and began their activities, making me the last to return." He continued, "I had no communication channels, and besides Instagram, there was nothing else I knew how to do. With no way to express myself, I started pressing 'like' once or twice, and they responded positively, posting even more thoughtfully."
