  "account": "BigBang returned to Singapore for their XX: Cosmos concert, a decade after their initial appearance at the National Stadium. Despite being a trio since their last visit, the K-pop legends showcased an electrifying set that resonated with fans. The concert, lasting three hours, featured a mix of signature tracks and solo hits, with G-Dragon taking on more rap parts while Daesung and Taeyang handled vocals. Taeyang's vocal performance, particularly during Haru Haru, was a standout, as was Daesung's humorous interactions with the audience. G-Dragon's rap skills were on full display, and his stage presence left fans in awe. The crowd's energy was another highlight, with thousands of fans enthusiastically singing along. Overall, BigBang's triumphant return proved that their talent and stage presence make for a captivating show, even in the absence of extravagant set pieces.",
