Seungri of Big Bang unveiled the accompanying music video to his solo work “1, 2, 3” on Naver’s V Live on Friday.

The clip has earned a whopping 4.4 million likes in 15 hours. "1, 2, 3" gives Big Bang fans a much needed break from the group’s extended hiatus.

On going solo, the Big Bang star said that while he prefers working as a group, he hopes to entertain Big Bang fans by giving them something to look forward to, so they would be less “lonely” while the group is on a break, with many of its members serving their mandatory military service. Seungri also plans to enlist sometime next year, he told fans.
