List of BigBang's Daesung greatest musical hits
DAESUNG, also known as D-Lite, has had an instrumental role in shaping the legacy of South Korea's pop group BigBang. Since debuting as a member in 2006, the 36-year-old has acted as the group's main singer, serving as the vocal backbone in many of the group's songs. But aside from his contributions to the group's discography, Daesung has also delivered a remarkable array of hits on his own as a solo artiste. In conjunction with his upcoming D's Wave concert in Resorts World Genting next month, here is a curated list of his most memorable songs. Look at Me, Gwisun (2008) Released as his first digital single, Look at Me, Gwinsun is a fun and playful declaration of love for a woman named Gwisun. Written to a trot melody, the lyrics are straightforward and playfully repetitive, describing Daesung's feelings of happiness, anticipation and desire for Gwisun. While it is Daesung's debut song, his fellow band member G-Dragon was actually the mastermind behind the song. It was created after G-Dragon was dumped during a parody blind date on KMTV's Idol World in 2007. He wrote it as a joke to the woman, whose name was Um Gwi Seon. Eventually, it became Daesung's debut single and a noraebang classic (karaoke song) for many South Koreans. Cotton Candy (2010) A shift from his debut single, Cotton Candy takes on a calmer and softer musical style. The ballad showcased the singer's ability to deliver a charismatic and heartfelt tune, highlighting his husky yet warm vocals. Fans surprisingly were able to download the tune for free for the first three days of its release. The marketing tactic seemed to have worked as it became his first debut on Korea's music chart Gaon Digital Chart, debuting at number six. Baby Don't Cry (2011) This is another heartfelt ballad from Daesung. A tune from BigBang's fourth EP Tonight, it features Daesung's vocals solely. Throughout the four-minute tune, the singer offers comfort to listeners who are going through a tough time. The lyrics are a gentle plea for listeners to find solace and hope despite their current struggles. Daesung assures them that brighter days are ahead, though things may seem bleak at the moment. Shut Up (2014) An anthemic rock ballad, Shut Up is from Desung's sophomore Japanese album D'slove. Following BigBang's hiatus in 2012, Daesung extended his solo activities in Japan, releasing his debut album D'scover. D'slove was a follow-up effort, featuring various Japanese tracks such as Shut Up. Written by fellow member G-Dragon, the tune does Daesung's artistry justice as it showcases the strength and emotional depth in his voice. To date, it is among the most popular tracks in his discography, having over one million streams on Spotify and two million views on YouTube. Home Sweet Home (2025) Speaking of high-streamed singles, Daesung's recent collaboration with G-Dragon and Taeyang was another highlight in his career as a solo artiste. Serving as the second single from G-Dragon's third album, Home Sweet Home marked the members' first collaboration as a trio. The track, characterised by its nostalgic and heartfelt lyrics, signalled the group's return after a long hiatus. Their performance at the 2024 Mama Awards further proved their continued relevance and legacy as members of BigBang and individual artiste, as fans were left eager for more. Universe (2025) Universe is the first introduction to Daesung's new musical chapter. After 19 years in the Korean music scene, the Seoul native finally released his first solo Korean-language mini album D's Wave. The project includes eight songs and Universe is its lead. A pop-rock track, lyrics to the song convey a message of embarking on a journey to find one's own path towards a better world. The music video features Daesung performing on a cosmic-themed stage, floating as if drifting through the universe. Thanks to its release, Daesung has earned an additional spot on the Gaon Digital Chart as a solo artiste. Concert at Resorts World Genting Fortunately, Malaysian fans will get to witness and experience Daesung's new musical era, as the BigBang member is returning to Malaysia with his D's Wave 2025 Asia Tour. The concert will take place on June 7 at the Arena of Stars in Resorts World Genting. Daesung promises a night filled with thrilling music and high-energy performances. Tickets prices range from RM388 to RM988.

Bodies of 3 girls who went missing while fishing found in Missouri River
The bodies of three girls who went missing in the Missouri River have been recovered, Nebraska officials said Wednesday. The three girls, identified by CBS affiliate KMTV as Lah Tray Moo, Lainana Green and Eh Cress Moo, went missing two weeks ago. Eh Cress Moo was Lah Tray Moo's niece, KMTV reported. The girls were reported missing on April 15, while fishing in the river, KMTV said. The Omaha Fire Department said its special operations team had worked alongside local and state agencies, as well as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to find and identify the girls. Boats, drones, sonar equipment and helicopters were used to search the area, KMTV reported. The search turned into a recovery mission on April 16, KMTV said. The body of Lah Tray Moo was found over the weekend, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, which includes Omaha, said on social media. A fisherman spotted the remains, KMTV reported, and kept them from floating away until police arrived. The bodies of Lainana Green and Eh Cress Moo were found on Tuesday morning, KMTV reported. "We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of these girls," the fire department said in a statement on social media. "The loss of these young lives has touched our entire community, and our hearts continue to be with you now and in the days ahead." Lainana Green's aunt, Nichelle Griffy, told KMTV that the two families are leaning on each other and are "relieved that we have all three girls physically now." The Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. It is usually between 10 and 20 feet deep in Omaha, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Bodies of 2 teens, 12-year-old girl found in Nebraska's Missouri River after weeks missing The bodies of two teenagers and a 12-year-old girl have been found in the Missouri River in Omaha, Nebraska, following a two-week search. The bodies of 18-year-olds Laiana Green and Lah Tray Moo, and 12-year-old Eh Cress Moo were all recovered from the Missouri River as of April 29, the Omaha Fire Department confirmed on Facebook on Wednesday. Laiana, Lah and Eh went missing on April 15 while fishing at N.P. Dodge Park recreational area in Omaha, according to local stations KETV and WOWT. A witness said they saw four girls fishing when one of the girls slipped into the river and the others went in to rescue her, WOWT reported. Only one of them, a 13-year-old girl, managed to avoid being swept away and safely returned to shore, according to the station and her family. Officials found Lah's body on the night of April 26 and later found Laiana and Eh the morning of April 29, the fire department said. "We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of these girls," the department wrote on Facebook. "The loss of these young lives has touched our entire community, and our hearts continue to be with you now and in the days ahead." USA TODAY has reached out to the Omaha Fire Department for additional information. Families of victims lean on each other Laiana's aunt, Nichelle Griffy, said her family feels relief the search has ended despite the tragedy and the families are leaning one another, KMTV reported. "We're feeling relief that we have all three girls physically now. We're sad but we're thankful," Griffy told KMTV, adding that they're finding comfort in each other. "We are a community that is strengthening. The gain is ... the support that we have for each other because we're all sharing the same loss right now." A GoFundMe page for Laiana Green's family said that the 18-year-old, who went by the nicknames LaiLai or Pooh, "acted selflessly and bravely in a moment of chaos." The page said it is seeking donations for funeral services and has raised over $3,000 as of April 30. A separate GoFundMe page for Lah and Eh said that Lah was Eh's aunt, and that the tragedy has been a nightmare for the family. The page, which is seeking financial support for funeral expenses, raised nearly $7,000 as of April 30. The families of the victims are urging officials to improve safety measures such as adding more warning signs and enforcing lifejacket usage along the river, WOWT reported.
