In an amusing turn of events, BIGBANG’s TaeYang opened up about his unique stint as a barber during his military service, a story that has fans both laughing and admiring his creativity. On April 19th, during an episode of BIGBANG DaeSung’s YouTube show ‘Out of the House with Daesung’, TaeYang shared the floor with his fellow BIGBANG member, revealing a side of him that many were unaware of. The conversation took a humorous turn when DaeSung teased TaeYang about being an “elite barber” in the military. TaeYang, with a chuckle, admitted to his barber skills, saying, “I was really good at it.” He then delved into the backstory of how he ended up wielding a pair of scissors instead of a rifle. Boredom in the barracks, a lack of recreational activities, and a desire to create something led him to explore haircutting. “There was nothing to do. No games, and the PX only opened twice a week,” TaeYang explained, causing an outburst of laughter when DaeSung questioned, “Why would you choose other people’s hair for your art?” His initial motive was purely to improve upon the lackluster haircuts his fellow soldiers were getting. “I thought I could do better. The guys were so bad at it. I just asked to be taught, and even without being officially assigned as a barber, I started cutting hair,” TaeYang recounted, adding humor to the tale. His skill quickly became sought after, leading him to officially take on the role. TaeYang’s creative flair didn’t stop at just cutting hair; he even incorporated a signature style into his work. “Our division was the 5th, which has a ‘V’ in it. I wanted to add a signature, so I cut a ‘V’ into the back of the heads. The battalion commander eventually noticed and was like, ‘Why do all the kids’ heads look like that!'” This anecdote not only showcased TaeYang’s artistic side but also his ability to bring a dose of creativity and laughter into the rigid military life. Fans of BIGBANG and TaeYang are now eagerly awaiting more revelations and stories from his time in the military, proving that there’s much more to these stars than their onstage personas. TaeYang’s tale of becoming a sought-after barber in the army adds an intriguing layer to his already multifaceted career, leaving fans amused and in anticipation of what other stories he might share in the future.
