Seungri is known for his dance skills. In his hometown, Gwangju, he was part of the dance group II Hwa. He has competed against his fellow BIGBANG member Taeyang in several dance competitions, as well as against Super Junior's Eunhyuk, 동방신기's Yunho, and SHINee's Taemin. Seungri also choreographed some of BIGBANG's dance.
Seungri became the first member of BIGBANG to act in a musical with the performance in Sonagi in 2008. His next musical, Shouting, was performed in 2009 alongside another BIGBANG member Daesung, who was unable to perform at the last minute due to a car accident. Seungri made his film debut in with the movie Why Did You Come to My House?, followed by My 19 alongside another BIGBANG member T.O.P. The movie was released on November 12, 2009. Although his first solo song Next Day was recorded as part of BIGBANG's album track, his second solo song Strong Baby was released as a promotional single for the group's second Korean album. In order to shed the "youngest member" look from BIGBANG Seungri promoted the single with a more mature look along with a stylized dance.
On March 11, 2019, Seungri departed from BigBang and retired from the entertainment industry after he allegedly supplied sex workers in 2015 and was charged with sexual bribery and embezzlement. He was convicted in 2020 after the police investigation of the Burning Sun scandal. Seungri's military trial commenced on September 16, 2020, where he denied 7 of his 8 charges. A military court found Seungri guilty on all charges and sentenced him to three years of imprisonment and a fine of 1.15 billion won (US$970,000) on August 12, 2021, which was reduced to 18 months on January 27, 2022 based on his admission of guilt. During the sentence reduction, Seungri pleaded guilty to all charges brought against him and expressed that he "will reflect on his actions". He was released from prison on February 9, 2023.

So hot
꽁꽁 얼어 버린 날 녹일 수 있을까
깊게 박힌 못들처럼 넌 내
In my head
독한 이 감기는 정말 나을 수 있을까
넌 날 사랑했다가 날 사랑하지 않아
미친 것 같아
미칠 것 같아 yeah yeah
널 미워하지만 널 지우지는 않아
깊은 상처가 좀처럼 낫지 않아
미친 것 같아
미칠 것 같아
달콤한 너의 거짓말
달콤한 너의 거짓말
점점 느려지는 심장 소리
Like little bird
힘껏 뻗은 손은 네게 닿을 수 있을까
실컷 울어버린 어린아이
Baby don't cry
알람 맞춰 깨어 봐도 아직 꿈속인가
넌 날 사랑했다가 날 사랑하지 않아
슬픈 장난감 난 고쳐지지 않아
미친 것 같아
미칠 것 같아 yeah yeah
널 미워하지만 널 지우지는 않아
깊은 상처가 좀처럼 낫지 않아
미친 것 같아
미칠 것 같아
달콤한 너의 거짓말 ooh
Oh oh 뭐든지 내 생각과는 전부 반대였지
이건 오로지 나만의 상상 속의 얘기인걸 yeah yeah

I love his solo work so much, he has such a unique and soulful voice that Big Bang doesn't really let shine through in the songs. The beats are always on point as well.
Ms. Chuisin
He doesn't sound like this on Bigbang's songs.

Adrian Delantar
Actually, the instrumentals for this song is made by Dannic, who is a Dutch DJ and EDM producer. Rather, his DJing experience made him meet (and probably keep in touch) with some famous international DJs and EDM producers like Alan Walker and Dannic.
