That was from his Motte Tour the theme of it was the red color ... In this tour Gd wanted his fans to focus on him as "Kwon ji Yong" not the glamorous Gdragon Kwon ji yong ( his true name) is a very shy , down to earth and kind person Gd is the charismatic and glamorous side of him that he's been showing through all these years ... In his latest album he was trying to confess to his fans his feelings ... that were a mixture of sadness, loneliness and happiness U should definitely check Big bang's "if you" live performance and Tayeang's fantastic due for "eyes,nose,lips" 🔥
D K thanks for the insight! This human aspect of G Dragon is a cool contrast to his older material as a pop star. Today I actually just uploaded a reaction to fantastic duo eyes nose lips! It’s blocked in a few countries in Asia but available in most places!
In addition to the beautiful melody, the songs he wrote contain strong emotions, which is very rare. Besides , my favorite song is , your reaction is amazing, I hope to see more GD reactions in the future, thank you❤
This is "only' encore perfoance .. the whole concert's HYPE and SUPERLIT .. you should wstch it if you haven't ... GD is a melting pot of genres ... the GOAT of KPOP
He was very big on red back then, it being his fav color and also the color of his then newly released solo self titled ep. Instead of regular disc, the ep was released in USB form and coated in red color that comes off. Kinda like a new born baby.
BEEYOUNGKAH _VIP that’s crazy! I’ve only seen one other band do USBs instead of CDs and they were just a small local band. The red works well. Was it meant to look like blood on his shirt or just red paint?
Ryan Rostrom I think he meant it to look like blood, since his USB had that concept of a new born baby still covered in blood. Also if you look up the lyrics for most of his songs on that ep, it all makes sense. A lost, wounded and bleeding soul. Instead of focusing on G-DRAGON the mega star, he wanted to focus on Kwon Jiyong, the person buried in the shadow of G-DRAGON.
If you want to go all the way back to a very very very early song of his, I would love to see somebody react to 'But I Love You'. (search: G-Dragon - But I Love You [Eng. Sub] ) Or 'She's Gone' (has an MV or for a good live version, search 'G-DRAGON-She's gone OOAK Concert'. Who You, Butterfly, A Boy. There are a lot of great songs of his that people seldom react to because they of course opt for the most viewed singles and MV's, which tend to be more hype type tracks.
Thanks for the suggestions! I really like these deep cut type tracks that aren’t as much “hype songs.” Their hype songs are great of course and do well with the masses but I’m a sucker for a good ballad like this :)
Hey! Thanks for reviewing n reacting to BB and iKON. They are juniors and seniors. Just wanna add some info for non kpop fans and u too, so the yellow lightstick is called CROWN BONG or CROWN lightstick this one is BigBang's lightstick. If you watch iKON, they have RED KONBAT as the lightstick.. Each kpop group has them and the original idea was indeed given by G-Dragon himself. This is to hypen up the audience so it looks great from every angle, plus to support the kpop artists themselves. It's how fans show their support. Thanks!
Thanks for this reaction ❤️ This song is so emotional and special for him so ofc he sing it from all his heart and it can reach us, it's part from his latest album Kwon jiyong in 2017 and the whole concept of both the album and this tour is the rebirth of g-dragon the superstar as kwon jiyong (his real name) the human, that's why the color of the album and the whole tour theme is red
@@RyanRostromMusic u know he opened up about his depression and his mental illness, his struggles and how lonely he is, so even the design of the tour, his fashion and everything was pretty simple, he didn't do any promotions any tv appearances yet his tour managed to be the biggest tour by a kpop act in 2017 and the biggest tour by a korean solo artist in history, it was really big... After he enlisted in military for 2 years and he just got discharged few weeks ago
@@RyanRostromMusic also i have to mention that his album was so controversial because he released it as USB, also because it's red but it comes out on ur hands when u touch it which refers to his re birth as i already said, it was such a cool and controversial concept and he created a huge debate in korea if USBs need to be counted as real albums in charts and sales... So again g dragon changed the stereotype and the USB format is now acknowledged as a real album, that's gd's impact he's always making changes in the kpop scene.
Such a cool reactions ~~ ^^ U made me think about the lyrics again deeply~~ even though I am korean~~ And I recommend U one of the most beautiful songs “haru haru”. Every version is good for this song But I recommend U Tokyo dome concert or New Jersey concert ... Or U can pick also~~~ beautiful !! And MV also~
Park Saige thank you! Glad I helped you think about the lyrics deeply again, they’re super good! I’ll try to check out Haru Haru soon! I think this is my first request for that one
I think checking out Solo stuff by G-Dragon is such a journey because of the sheer diversity of the kinds of music. Bigbang as a group is also fairly diverse experimenting with very unique styles for eg. BAE BAE. But I think most of the truely experimental tracks are reserved for GD solos. Some are honestly, kinda whack. Some very popular ones suggested are often Crooked, Crayon, Who You?, One of A Kind, Coup d'état. Coup d'état is a must check out for the really incredible visuals in the music video. Though crayon and one of a kind are pretty visually interesting too. Personally there's a couple more which are not as popular that I really like too. Without You ft.Rosé. What do you want? (This is a rodeo beat, must listen with lyrics it's kinda funny) Middle-Fingers-UP and Bullshit - both from the same album as Untitled 2014. There's a bit of a story about Untitled 2014, it was never supposed to be released in this album at all. But a day before the release one of G-dragon's bandmates T.O.P was hospitalized in coma. So he changed the title track from bullshit to this. It explains a lot of the emotion of loss that really comes through in the song. Luckily! T.O.P has since completely recovered :)
My 2 favourite superb musician idols are GD & Hua Hua, I feel that they have so much in common. Both super talented & powerful in stage performance, both cute n shy in person, but Huahua can be adorkable (cause he's a "stay at home" kind of guy), very spiritual, loves to eat & like a big kid LOL. Since you have reacted to a GD's live performance, pls can you react to Huahua's live performance, "Nunchucks" from Singer 2018: ruclips.net/video/lLs-0A0yEuA/видео.html
LittleMelodyLand Thanks! Yeah I definitely relate with this more approachable style of music without all the big pop production elements. Is HuaHua from big bang?
@@RyanRostromMusic No, he's fm China, and is a uniquely lovable person. Below an intro clip about him & info, really hope u can also react to the intro clip (eng sub) 😁 Huahua's intro clip - informative n funny 🌸🌸 ruclips.net/video/NaB29pt2Vwc/видео.html Some informative background: 😉 Huahua (Hua Chenyu) is super talented & powerful in stage performances, he's cute n shy in person, he is adorkable n can be nerdy (he's a "stay at home" kind of guy), n he LOVES to eat, food lures him LOL! He can be so unique that his fans give him the nickname E.T. hence his fandom is named as Martian. His fans also give him other nicknames such as Big brother, Lord vocal, Demon king, and he loves to tease his fans. He's young at heart like a big kid (he said so himself, think he's like Peter Pan), he is humble n down to earth (even though his family is super rich, he already own houses n drive sport car during school days). However he has a painful, lonely & fearsome childhood as his parents were divorced when he was 2, and his father was always away for business, and he was left with different nannies or maids who were strangers to him so he always chased them away (makes me think of Hollywood movie "The Nanny Diaries"), hence when little he yearned for love yet fearful and rejective, he feared to go to school to meet people he just hided in his room playing his own music. Though his grades were good, his dad has never given him a single praise until he won first in a tv singing competition. Someone lured him to the city by FOOD where the competition was held to "tricked" him to join it. He went for interview, got selected and shortly wanted to quit as he can't cope with facing constant cameras and so many audiences, the producers all rushed over to counsel him that he can still have his freedom and be himself, which he later concurred as he's the "stay at home" kind of person so being a public figure makes no difference to his way of life. Eventually he won first in the competition and that's how he started his career in the entertainment industry, and that was also the first time his dad praised him. He was so happy that he claimed winning first is nothing compared to his dad's praise. Music has let him expressed his emotions and healed himself along the way and he's a man of deep thoughts like a philosopher, he is also spiritual and does meditation. Once a tarot card reader and a monk read that he's a spiritual man like a hermit, he sort of agrees n then declares he ever thought of becoming a monk back then when he finished high school, n all the fans were shocked LOL 😂🌸🌸
me encanta esta canción de G-DRAGON - BUTTERFLY M/V que fue en sus primeros años de su primer disco como solista HEARTBREAKER , ojala puedas reaccionar a ella te dejo el link ruclips.net/video/98qqghzKAMM/видео.html
Since you love Taeyang's ENL, this is Kwon Ji Yong ballad version of his love life back in 2014. I believe he wrote this when he and Sandara Park (fellow label mate - 2NE1 - Bigbang's girl group version) broke up. GD confessed that he writes songs based on his personal experiences. This song is in his EP Kwon Jiyong (2017) and the massive world tour (largest by a Korean solo artist - 3rd phase of his evolution as an artist) to promote the album before his enlistment basically left him so exhausted and spent (check out his RUclips Premium special behind-the-scenes for this tour - it was so hearbreaking that I cried!). He said that he wanted to strip his G Dragon persona/alter ego hence his real name on the album. So no elaborate production sets and fierce makeups, only raw Kwon Ji Yong with red as the overall theme. If you watch the MV for this song, it's basically much more compelling than the set in this stage. You see him just singing with his heart out with the changing hues of the sky or misty background. Ji Yong is a master lyricist. You gotta check out If You (Tour Report - Bangkok Live) - BB's only ballad song wherein everybody sings and no rap parts for GD and T.O.P. Other songs and performances to check out: GD - That XX - guitar performance with fingerstyle guru Sungha Jung (Jason Mraz's friend) GD - Black - look up the lyrics - pierces thru your heart Or this from Act III - MOTTE for both songs - ruclips.net/video/CWE8F0wgFWA/видео.html Bigbang - Cafe - showcases their falsettos - ruclips.net/video/Ib2ILlCZ0-k/видео.html Also their unplugged show (singing galore) - check out all performances for the same date - one of them is this - ruclips.net/video/NUlLgZRJlTU/видео.html&start_radio=1&t=6
In addition to the beautiful melody, the songs he wrote contain strong emotions, which is very rare. Besides , my favorite song is , your reaction is amazing, I hope to see more GD reactions in the future, thank you❤
I think you would like "If You" by Big Bang, but make sure you listen to live from Bangkok version
Rosemary Duffy Thanks for the request, I’ll check it out!
Yesss, please!
Yeahhhh🤘
I recommend you to react bigbang live concert than mv. Bigbang mv always great but bigbang live concert always no joke.
siti anisah yeah their shows are incredible! Also less likely to get blocked by RUclips than MV haha
That was from his Motte Tour the theme of it was the red color ...
In this tour Gd wanted his fans to focus on him as "Kwon ji Yong" not the glamorous Gdragon
Kwon ji yong ( his true name) is a very shy , down to earth and kind person
Gd is the charismatic and glamorous side of him that he's been showing through all these years ...
In his latest album he was trying to confess to his fans his feelings ... that were a mixture of sadness, loneliness and happiness
U should definitely check Big bang's "if you" live performance and Tayeang's fantastic due for "eyes,nose,lips" 🔥
D K thanks for the insight! This human aspect of G Dragon is a cool contrast to his older material as a pop star. Today I actually just uploaded a reaction to fantastic duo eyes nose lips! It’s blocked in a few countries in Asia but available in most places!
G DRAGON G DRAGON IS HANDSOME KING OF KPOP
Please do BIGBANG Cafe or GDragon's Butterfly from their concert performance. I think you will enjoy the song a lot.
irisnoir21 thanks for the suggestions!

This is "only' encore perfoance .. the whole concert's HYPE and SUPERLIT .. you should wstch it if you haven't ...
GD is a melting pot of genres ... the GOAT of KPOP
King 👑

Also if you look up the lyrics for most of his songs on that ep, it all makes sense. A lost, wounded and bleeding soul. Instead of focusing on G-DRAGON the mega star, he wanted to focus on Kwon Jiyong, the person buried in the shadow of G-DRAGON.
Awwww love this reaction to gd more live perf please
run85 thanks! 🙏 working on some more gd and big bang soon!
Ohhh, GD...💔
Thanks 💛
MsListopad my pleasure 😇
Finally!!! Had someone react to this Untitled 2014 live version 👍👍
If you want to go all the way back to a very very very early song of his, I would love to see somebody react to 'But I Love You'. (search: G-Dragon - But I Love You [Eng. Sub] ) Or 'She's Gone' (has an MV or for a good live version, search 'G-DRAGON-She's gone OOAK Concert'.
Who You, Butterfly, A Boy.
There are a lot of great songs of his that people seldom react to because they of course opt for the most viewed singles and MV's, which tend to be more hype type tracks.

Wow!!! ❤👑
This is still my number one song, I love it, I went to the concert to see it live. Best thing I ever did in my life.
I love him some much😭💕
"Crooked" is a good one.
The last thing he did is a bow to the audience as a respect ,,, u will notice that in every Koreans ,,,
Thank you for making this video! Please please please also react to his « bullshit » live performance. It is spectacular.
Rey del kpop ❤👑😭
GD has the crown Tattoo on his left forearm. Dragon ball on his left shoulder.

PLEASE DO FIRST LISTEN TO ALL SONGS IN *KWON JIYONG* ALBUM COZ IT'S HIM AS KWON JIYONG NOT GDRAGON...AND GD - SUPERSTAR LIVE PERF MOTTE ..
