The “paved the way” debate has reached BIGBANG’s Daesung‘s Instagram comments. The idol’s recent post has been flooded with messages about BTS following controversial remarks he made at a recent concert about fellow BIGBANG member G-Dragon.
Daesung sparked the firestorm when he said that G-Dragon paved the way — praising his own bandmate and leader. Once those comments gained traction online, his Instagram became the battleground.
The Flood of Comments
Daesung’s recent post was bombarded with comments insisting that “BTS paved the way” instead. The wave of messages quickly drew attention — though most were drowned out by BIGBANG fans of Daesung’s own, who filled the comments with love and support for the idol.
Netizens shared their shock at the pile-on, especially since Daesung’s original comment was simply praise for his longtime teammate and leader. He never mentioned any other idol or group.
Fans Split, Defenders Push Back
The backlash to the backlash came fast. On X, users criticized the comment flood, with some calling the spamming “embarrassing” and noting that Daesung had only praised his fellow BIGBANG member, not attacked anyone. Others pointed out the absurdity of targeting an idol for a lighthearted on-stage remark about his own groupmate.
For Daesung, the episode is a reminder of how one sentence — even a joke made in good spirits — can explode in K-pop’s fandom wars. The “paved the way” argument has divided fandoms for years, and this round shows no signs of cooling down anytime soon.
