88 is his number. It's his birth year, the year of the dragon. He was born 8/18/88 so the number 8 is meaningful to him. It's also currently (in 2024) the year of the dragon AND it's been 88 months since his last solo song released (7 years ago).
Hi, I'm a big fan of G-Dragon. As a Korean, I would like to break down about this song. 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 6:12, 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) 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.
@@iMeyjint If you look at his mv he gives us a glimpse of his album tracks. There's a banner METRO and under are titles (my opinion that's his music title)
I so appreciate your video. So true and I love that you guys are new VIPS and not just for clout. Believe me, I will know. Love it. Thank you for this.

THE LEGEND IS BACK!!!!! OHHH!!!Its 7yrs!!! Kwon Ji-yong....We missed you ....❤.... V.I.Ps Come back to our Legend!!!! IDOL of our idols 🔥 Welcome back KING 👑 THE G.O.A.T GD 🔥🔥🔥
He IS the goat of Kpop, no matter how much people want to put a blindfold on he IS the King and since then there have been many trying to copy him, from his music to his style to the mannerisms.
3:14 I'll just explain this part about the part where he say " PROVE THEM WRONG , ILL GOT ALL THE RECEIPT" last year he was accused of using illegal drugs but after further investigation he was proven innocent. I think that's one of his reference as well as the part where there's a new anchor guy he is referring to his interview last year about the drug accusations.
Being and OG fan is crazy cuz like bizz i lost hope i thought ma man started dropping knowledge at universities and not dropping songs anymore 😂 so happy to see him back again
@mona.melissa4589 ooh girl same i'm still shocked, it feels like a dream cuz ain't no way we are getting this much content on inst and a song like whaaat
88 is the year he was born. A goat in the MV. Only GD would do that like the bear and tiger in One of a Kind. All the lyrical and visual references to past, trends, fashion hip hop, music, and so much more. And this is not his album title song?
As a new vip myself also this is my first GD comeback and I’m way more happy and the king is back to the Industry ❤️🤩The best thing is that GD signed up with a Palestine label EMPIRE✨ so grateful so him 🥺
No. 8 is basically his number. His birthday is 18/08/1988. Everything revolves around no. 8 for him that’s why we thought he’d come back in some random august LOL
there's a thing with goat and GD actually. when BigBang did MADE comeback and some fandom rival thing happened on tumblr when VIP said BigBang had better stages cause they don't lip sync and the other party countered saying GD sound like a goat and the VIP responded: "at least he sound live" and the rest of the VIPs started editing GD's face onto baby goat creating a whole ass meme. So, the goats here are indeed necessary. Also I can't help but wonder about something with T.O.P cause he had a goat in sober MV and this shot with goats has a letter T erected at its centre

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.

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, honor, 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":
