Big Bang's Daesung opened up after leaving YG Entertainment. 

On January 2nd, Daesung updated how he feels about leaving YG Entertainment 16 years after his debut on his YouTube channel. In the video, he reads his letter:

"Thank you, 'Y'ou were 'G'ood. Thank you. I feel sincerely grateful for looking after me all these years and helping me grow into the person I am today. With deep gratitude in my heart, I embark on this new adventure. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. As nervous as I am about taking this bold step forward, I believe it will definitely be worth it in the end. 

The year 2023 is approaching. Without an inkling as to what the future holds, I take this step forward into the unknown with only a brave heart. And I intend to walk down this road with a stoic determination. Though I'm still quite inexperienced and lacking in many ways, I hope you will continue to show your love and support for my journey. Thank you. Happy new year, everyone." 

He then concluded his video by adding, "Someone once said, nothing lasts forever. No. Some things last... forever. It's Big Bang."  

Meanwhile, Daesung parted ways with YG Entertainment on December 27th, 2022. His groupmate Taeyang also moved his management to The Black Label on December 26th, 2022. The Black Label is YG Entertainment's affiliated company. Daesung has yet to decide on his managing label.
