The thing with GD returning is its so fun, i literally forget how fun his music is, not just him but 2nd gen in general is so fun. Anyone from this era that has a comeback is beautiful i love this song its si current but so throwback as well. I really loved this era of kpop and gdragon is one of the greats.
It's so fun! GD has this quality in him that he can make music from genres I don't otherwise like at all, and I'll love how he does it. I don't like repetitive songs and this certainly has a chorus that's really repetitive, but after watching the video, I just had a big grin on my face and this makes me feel so happy happy and energized. GD is a genius, there's no other way to say it.
The " King still poppin (star)" I think is a wordplay, to "K pop star" the king of kpop is still poppin even after so many years. The "K-" I think is like a label, he is everything "K-"
I recognized 4 iconic thing to tribute he's 4 old song. Red clove - Coup d'etat. Small car - Crayon. Barber lamp & band in tv - Fxxk it. Train - Michigo. This is a disstrack for knetz. Korean media. & Haters but He got Perfect all kill (PAK) Gd still Be Gd 😂 Btw i wait for it... Real VIP react for our Professor back Thank u Thina
There's so much to uncover in this release but the release date, it starts there. 88 months since his last solo, 2024 year of the dragon, Oct 28 - it has 8 in it. TOP's my bias but GD is a force to be reckoned with. He has a lot to unleash in his album, it's scary. Yes it's GD but he says he is BigBang, his return is the return of BigBang. The king is back, VIPs are alive. 💛👑
It's been a LONG time, finally GD is about to return to the spotlight! I hope he goes on another world tour, was able to catch him last time in London. So excited for the whole album to drop!
["Laughing End 'Money' Donating 'millions' Grin"] is my favorite lyric from this song: "Laughing End" = When G-Dragon came out to the media after the four-hour police investigation for drug abuse, they asked him how it went to which he jokingly and confidently replied 'I laughed in the end'. "'Money' donating 'Millions'" = After the results came out negative for G-Dragon's drug tests, he donated millions of Won to an anti-drug organisation. And then with "Grin", GD laughs in the end. (itsANDYandJAS broke the lyrics down in their reaction, a lot of wordplays and expressions that only make sense if you speak Korean, as is often the case with GD).
Other fun tidbits: - The song came out October 2024, the year of the dragon, 88 months after his last comeback (GD was born in 1988, year of the dragon, of course). - During the breaking news section, on the anchor table you can find the same pair of glasses that GD wore during the investigation. Even with how serious the situation was, people still flocked over to his fashion and the glasses sold out almost instantly. - What looks like the tracklist to the upcoming album can be seen in the back during the subway train portion of the MV. Eight songs, including Power.
Watch their reunion on Daesung’s RUclips show. I am so thrilled to see them together. Same as you, long time First Gen Kpop enthusiasts, and BB/GD stan. I can relate to your excitement.
In just a few hours we had the return of the KING OF KPOP and the debut of the KING OF KPOP as a producer of BABYMONSTER's 'DRIP' , KING stuff indeed 👑
G Dragon just looks like he's literally never left Music because he still possessed the confidence and attitude as a performer and artist with some major award winning moments
I think we all got emotional over this. Especially with what we've all been through in the past 7 years alone. He came back so strong and free. The King is back!!!
I had to find your reaction first - I’ve been listening to the song on loop since last night, finally watched the MV this morning, and first thing when I opened RUclips today I HAD to come see whether you’d reacted yet (I knew you would have! I KNEW IT. It was a NECESSITY.) Watching your reaction is like a way of experiencing the joy and catharsis and mix of everything in emotions at GD’s comeback with someone you KNOW gets it the way you do (when no one else around you does), so thank you, from one VIP to another (though I’m SO jealous you own all the albums - I only got into K-pop in 2017, so haven’t gotten them all yet…). I absolutely LOVE how much of a well-deserved, smug (in the best way) clapback this song is for alllll the people who treated GD like s**t last year - GD isn’t just the King of K-pop, he’s also the King of Clapbacks (Klapbacks? 😂) Cannot wait for the rest of the album. Still waiting for him to go on tour too, because the last time he did and came to Toronto it was *just* around the time I was first finding out who he was and didn’t learn about his show here until after it had already happened 😢
I may have teared up a little. GD IS BACK! As a shawol, BB is the only other boy group that is up there with SHINee in my heart, and GD? GOAT. Periodt. I lovw Power and it's just too short!! Do we know when the album drops?
I watched some of your videos before. but I think this is the first time I see with so much facial reactions 😂 I dont recall see you smile this bright before.
(This is a copy-pasted from a comment on itsANDYandJAS channel he/she is a Korean btw hope this helps ya'll:) ) There are lots of Korean wordplay, so some lines of lyrics might feel awkward, These are some clues that you can understand the song more. 88: GD's birthday is 18.08.1988, So he puts his own meaning on the Number 8. That's why he wrote so many 8s in his lyrics. You can see the Metro map on 2:03, it's a track-list of his up coming album, there are 8 tracks. The last line of lyrics ("Fly high"): The original Korean lyrics' pronunciation is "Pal Pal Nara" (Means fly high). There is a wordplay as well, 'Pal' is 8, same pronunciation, and 'Pal Pal' is kind of onomatopoeia, 'Nara' is Flying, so this line was translated flying high in English. And that's why the ending scene shows 8 8 (Pal Pal) and GD jumps (Flying) (Nara) In addition, he came back in 88 months since his last comeback. The meaning the wordplay of the lyric "Spot to rest, a Global Luxury": The original Korean Lyric is this, 누울 자리 글로벌 명품 "Nu ul Jari, Global Myong pum (Glo / bal myong pum)" In here, Glo means text, lyrics, writings, everything about word or text. Global is global, the exact english word, but here's the thing, Bal myong pum is Invention. So he connected two Korean words to one English word (Glo + bal). And Myong pum is luxury, the words share same pronunciation, so these are some wordplay using pronunciation of Korean and English. This is crazy wordplay. in my opinion, GD likened home("Spot to rest") to every goal such as social status, honour, his position in the field, and he invented his goals, and it's also luxury. The main hook "I don't give a shh, Laughing end 'Money' Donating 'millions' Grin": last year, GD was suddenly investigated for drug scandal. During the investigation, every single time he attended to police station, he said "I don't care because I never drugged." At the result, the truth is GD was innocent, at the photo-line in front of the police station, he laughed. After the scandal, he recognised that the risk of drugs in Korean society, He founded a foundation for drug eradication, he donated KRW ₩ 300 million (about USD $ 218,828). So this story is where the lyrics came from. Meaning of "Power Abuse questioned Tolerance Natural Disasters Unavoidable Circumstances" During the drug investigation, journalists raised him a suspicion of Power abuse for having Drugs, at the same time, Korean News channels delivered that rumour without fact-check. However after investigation, he was innocent, and he was possible to accuse those News channels, but he was tolerant to them, he announced he will not get a court. This is the story of "Power abused questioned Tolerance" (Natural translation is like "I was tolerant when I was questioned Power Abuse"). Natural Disasters (천재지변: Chun Jae Ji Byun) = (천재, 지병: Chun Jae,[Genius] Ji Byoung[Chronic illness]) same pronunciation wordplay. Genius always has Chronic illness, and it's unavoidable circumstances (irresistible force). Meaning of "Forcefully criticise Spread a meme Talk blah blah shout out": During the investigation of drug, some news channels, fake news RUclipsrs, and social media delivered GD's old interviews. In the interviews, he looked like he was addicted to drugs, because he speaks slowly, suddenly smiles, unnatural facial describing and his eyes. And these became memes and many publics criticised him. It was such a baseless criticism. People talked behind his back, but when after he finished the investigation, suddenly many people changed their attitudes, shout out him as usual like they haven't betrayed him at all. This story is where the lyrics came from. Credits to the respective owner.
on top of everything, I'm happy he looks like he's really having fun. Also, "cuz I've already seen 'em. I've already seen everying" hair flip, I felt that in my soul
The king is back!!! Album track list easter egg is in the train car station maps. (I'm also an '83 baby and discovered kpop in the late 90s - it was BoA for me lol)
I watch these reactors called "Andy and Jas" and they're also BIG YG STANS and they're Korean I think but speak great English (Idek) 😂 they were able to explain most of the lyrics of POWER and I'm telling you. GD really is a dang genius at lyrics 😭 but ofc you already know that. It's just, the play on Korean words would be better understood from their explanation. It's so gooooood
I saw a great explanation of this song and want to share: There are lots of Korean wordplay, so some lines of lyrics might feel awkward, These are some clues that you can understand the song more. 88: GD's birthday is 18.08.1988, So he puts his own meaning on the Number 8.

I think that when he says "King still popping star" it's kinda like saying the *K*ing (him) still (a) *pop*pping star. Like, even after 7 years he still a kpop star, and the "K- dash" (dashi again in Korean) be like he can be a K- anything again. K-idol, K-legend... Whatever you want to call him.
i jsut went back and watched some of ur big bang reactions, one of the videos where your just talking with two other people. You guys very nonchantly mention the rat from bigbang. I wanna subscribe cause your reactions are fun to watch but Id like to know if ur an ot4 vip, which everyone should be
Just asking not demanding but do you will do a reaction of Kiss of Life new songs, R.E.M., Get loud and Igloo? because i am curious to see your reaction to those 3 bops and masterpiece.

Hey, no shame. I cried the whole time. It was so nostalgic but also current vibed at the same time. So many meanings in his lyrics and the video.
My girls= VIP
My brothers= BIGBANG members
He made a short for IG and these words are picture with images of VIP and a BIGBANG 5 old photo.
Immediately clicked "like" upon seeing those old albums and La La La song 💛
The " King still poppin (star)" I think is a wordplay, to "K pop star" the king of kpop is still poppin even after so many years. The "K-" I think is like a label, he is everything "K-"
So good👏🏼 I went a little too Marvel there with the Tony Stark assumption LOL!
But the real king of kpop is hero jaejoong
I recognized 4 iconic thing to tribute he's 4 old song.
Red clove - Coup d'etat.
Small car - Crayon.
Barber lamp & band in tv - Fxxk it.
Train - Michigo.
This is a disstrack for knetz. Korean media. & Haters but He got Perfect all kill (PAK) Gd still Be Gd 😂
Btw i wait for it... Real VIP react for our Professor back

G dragon is the real musician in Korea. His music styles are unique
Same girl same, yesterday i was so emotional 😊 and the song was on loop since yesterday on my playlist ❤
Same same same - it’s been a very special 24 hours for VIPs and especially GD biases 🥲
I think we all got emotional over this. Especially with what we've all been through in the past 7 years alone. He came back so strong and free. The King is back!!!
If King ever sells his merch, I gotta get that cap. Periodt

I watched some of your videos before. but I think this is the first time I see with so much facial reactions 😂 I dont recall see you smile this bright before.
GOAT surrounded by kids (baby goats).. GD - the goat - still showing respect to 'kids' bowing down.
(This is a copy-pasted from a comment on itsANDYandJAS channel he/she is a Korean btw hope this helps ya'll:) )
There are lots of Korean wordplay, so some lines of lyrics might feel awkward, These are some clues that you can understand the song more.
88: GD's birthday is 18.08.1988, So he puts his own meaning on the Number 8. That's why he wrote so many 8s in his lyrics.
You can see the Metro map on 2:03, it's a track-list of his up coming album, there are 8 tracks.
The last line of lyrics ("Fly high"): The original Korean lyrics' pronunciation is "Pal Pal Nara" (Means fly high). There is a wordplay as well, 'Pal' is 8, same pronunciation, and 'Pal Pal' is kind of onomatopoeia, 'Nara' is Flying, so this line was translated flying high in English. And that's why the ending scene shows 8 8 (Pal Pal) and GD jumps (Flying) (Nara)
In addition, he came back in 88 months since his last comeback.
The meaning the wordplay of the lyric "Spot to rest, a Global Luxury":
The original Korean Lyric is this, 누울 자리 글로벌 명품 "Nu ul Jari, Global Myong pum (Glo / bal myong pum)" In here, Glo means text, lyrics, writings, everything about word or text. Global is global, the exact english word, but here's the thing, Bal myong pum is Invention. So he connected two Korean words to one English word (Glo + bal). And Myong pum is luxury, the words share same pronunciation, so these are some wordplay using pronunciation of Korean and English. This is crazy wordplay.
in my opinion, GD likened home("Spot to rest") to every goal such as social status, honour, his position in the field, and he invented his goals, and it's also luxury.
The main hook "I don't give a shh, Laughing end 'Money' Donating 'millions' Grin":
last year, GD was suddenly investigated for drug scandal. During the investigation, every single time he attended to police station, he said "I don't care because I never drugged." At the result, the truth is GD was innocent, at the photo-line in front of the police station, he laughed. After the scandal, he recognised that the risk of drugs in Korean society, He founded a foundation for drug eradication, he donated KRW ₩ 300 million (about USD $ 218,828). So this story is where the lyrics came from.
Meaning of "Power Abuse questioned Tolerance Natural Disasters Unavoidable Circumstances"
During the drug investigation, journalists raised him a suspicion of Power abuse for having Drugs, at the same time, Korean News channels delivered that rumour without fact-check. However after investigation, he was innocent, and he was possible to accuse those News channels, but he was tolerant to them, he announced he will not get a court. This is the story of "Power abused questioned Tolerance" (Natural translation is like "I was tolerant when I was questioned Power Abuse").
Natural Disasters (천재지변: Chun Jae Ji Byun) = (천재, 지병: Chun Jae,[Genius] Ji Byoung[Chronic illness]) same pronunciation wordplay.
Genius always has Chronic illness, and it's unavoidable circumstances (irresistible force).
Meaning of "Forcefully criticise Spread a meme Talk blah blah shout out":
During the investigation of drug, some news channels, fake news RUclipsrs, and social media delivered GD's old interviews. In the interviews, he looked like he was addicted to drugs, because he speaks slowly, suddenly smiles, unnatural facial describing and his eyes. And these became memes and many publics criticised him. It was such a baseless criticism.

Meaning of "Forcefully criticise Spread a meme Talk blah blah shout out":
During the investigation of drug, some news channels, fake news RUclipsrs, and social media delivered GD's old interviews. In the interviews, he looked like he was addicted to drugs, because he speaks slowly, suddenly smiles, unnatural facial describing and his eyes. And these became memes and many publics criticised him. It was such a baseless criticism. People talked behind his back, but when after he finished the investigation, suddenly many people changed their attitudes, shout out him as usual like they haven't betrayed him at all. This story is where the lyrics came from.
I don't know what it means because parts of speech are omitted in Korean lyrics....The lyrics are like a quiz ( - _ - ) ;;;;;;
Hufft
Even now, GD still one of a kind 👑🐉
I think that when he says "King still popping star" it's kinda like saying the *K*ing (him) still (a) *pop*pping star. Like, even after 7 years he still a kpop star, and the "K- dash" (dashi again in Korean) be like he can be a K- anything again. K-idol, K-legend... Whatever you want to call him.
GD has more swag than ANYONE in entertainment - anywhere!
