During the episode, they discussed several topics, including the younger groups they have “kept an eye on.”

After the PD asked the question, Daesung answered, saying MEOVV and BABYMONSTER.

While G-Dragon joked about “blood being thicker than water,” Daesung also added SM Entertainment‘s aespa to the list.

When prompted to answer the question, Taeyang first said that there were so many great performers these days that it was hard to keep track of them all. He also added that there were many “handsome and pretty friends.”

However, he adds that there is a group that are not rookies, but left an impact on him when he saw them rehearsing at a music show. After a bit of banter, Taeyang recalls that the group was SEVENTEEN and that this occurred when BIGBANG were promoting “Bang Bang Bang.”

“Bang Bang Bang” was released in June 2015, and SEVENTEEN debuted with “Adore U” at the end of the previous month.

Taeyang adds that he felt that they would definitely succeed and that while he couldn’t recall the song, he could remember their energy on stage.
