"Don't you feel that they (BIGBANG) broke idols' traditional image?"

I love Kangta's line. That's big coming from a sunbae and a 1st generation idol. It's one of the reasons for me why Big Bang are one of the most important groups in K-Pop history. Records can be broken and be in accordance w/ the times, but influence is timeless.
