G dragon's creativity is the foundation of modern kpop. He's not called the king of kpop because he's popular. He's called the king of kpop because the industry has been copying him for the last 17 years. Anything that's unique to Kpop just assume that it came from G dragon and everyone just followed his lead and you'll be right 90 percent of the time.
Gdragon is actually another level even from BTS in Korea, actually. While a lot of idols have a fan base and that's how they get their streams, sales, etc., Gdragon and Big Bang was loved by everyone, so I don't think there was even really a streaming culture for them. But even then I think Big Bang was the first artist to achieve all songs of their albums being the top X consecutively on the music charts. Gdragon and Big Bang were the first to do numerous things such as: (honestly this is such an incomplete list) - Gdragon was also one of the first idols to write (and be highly successful) with his own songs - First male idol to win the Daesang both as a group and individually. Including with Big Bang, he won 13 daesangs. - "Julsaewoogi" = when all songs of an album are top of music charts (consecutive). He created this with his first sollo album. - First Korean singer to be on the annual Billboard album artist chart. - First solo in Korean singer history to hold a concert at the Seoul World Cup Stadium; highest number of concert viewers - He created the "airport fashion". - He created the first light stick (previously, fans used coloured balloons or signs) - Frst person in Korea to become a global ambassador of a luxury brand - First Asian global ambassador of Chanel, Givenchy - His brand has a collaboration with Nike -> He's a fashion icon in Korea to the point where people said that once he went into the military, Korea's male fashion would stop. He's also highly respected even by Korean rappers of the underground scene, and just by everyone tbh.
G-dragon is a rapper, a singer, a song writer, a lyricist, a music producer, a dancer, a fashion brand owner, a designer, an artist, a global fashion icon, and an Idol. And this not like 'he can do it a bit' but he REALLY GOOD at all of it. He really is one of the most (if not the most) well known person within South Korea. He and his group BigBang was basically the idols of other k-pop idols. His influence beyond music is also cant be understated, especially in fashion that he is also acknowledged globally (you can just look it up). I would say if you wanna know more about his discography look up for some BigBang hits like 'Bang Bang Bang', 'Loser', 'Sober', 'Still Life', 'Bad Boy', 'Fantastic Baby', 'Haru Haru', and 'Lies', and some of his collaboration songs with other Bigbang member like 'Good Boy' and 'Zutter', and also his solo hits like 'Untitled 2014', 'Crooked', 'Crayon', 'Heartbreaker'. This is by no means exhaustive list, but this mix might give a bit of reference of range of songs he can produce and sing/rap.
There was a witchhunt on Gdragon last year(?) where an article was released saying that he had done drugs even though the police didn't even have enough evidence to get a warrant. When the article was released, Gdragon just voluntarily went and got investigated and came out proven innocent. This song is about that, hence the "I have all of the receipts". There's so much word play in this song, it's ridiculous, even from the smallest things like the dragonfly / "spot to lie" line because dragon fly is jamjali in Korean, which can also mean place to sleep. Personally, I love his solo song "Untitled 2014", "Who You". The first few hit songs of Big Bang which are still considered classics are "Haru Haru" and "Lies", which GD wrote. I also love "If You" and "Let's Not Fall in Love". In 2015, they released four singles through their "MADE" series, then a full studio album in 2016, which included title songs like Fantastic Baby, Bang Bang Bang, Last Dance
The title is not because of popularity, he is considered the King of Kpop because of the way he has revolutionized the industry, with his accomplishments in brands, in helping Kpop become recognized globally, in deals and sponsorships, in becoming a trendsetter in clothing style, hairstyle and even his creation the idol group lightsticks, and thats not including his music! In most of the shots of GD in shows and on stage with other groups you will see the idols of today in the background and the way they look at him is in awe every time. 😅
he is literally The Trendsetter Of Kpop, everything that makes kpop what it is today came from him: the self written and produced songs, the "eras" and "comebacks", the super well produced music videos, the colorful hairstyles, the lightsticks, the fandom names, the "airport fashion", and so much more... you'll never get how important he is to the korean industry
It sounds like he said BigBang because he did a wordplay Born to BE…Bang (bigbang) 😊 yes, it’s a Rolls Royce cuz he rides in a Rolls Royce in South Korea He’s also always invited by Rolls Royce to their events He is donating to Palestine cause. He’s the very first kpop artist publicly supporting Palestine 💛 So proud!
People don't get how big he is, he speech, even the way he walks , can affect the whole of South Korea , not just in the entertainment scene but even politics affected by G Dragon , in Korea as the whole north n south... He's influences in Korea are literally bigger than Michael Jackson in America. He speech, talk, manners, affect all other industries like the business industry, tourism, technology, education, real estate, law, even medicine, that's how big he is .... This man is not just about money n stock prices, he himself are just that important
GDragon has the biggest world tour by a solo korean artist , he alone sold in 2017 more concert tickets than BTS same year and with no promotion . Bigbang won the first international award for a korean at MTV Europe Awards in 2011 , beat Britney Spears . Bigbang had the first real world tour Alive 2012 went from UK to Peru . GD is not Goat because he is famous but because he played a major part into transforming kpop into what it is today . Everything that is cool in kpop started with GD . GD open the door for idols to have creative control . You need to see Bigbang live performances to feel their power .
GD is a genius, not just someone popular but very influential in the industry. So many things normal nowadays in korean music industry are things copied from him. Watch a video explaining him by DKDKTV, it's quite good one. He's been in entertainment since he was 3, in music since 6-7 years old (international age), was in Korea's first rap album when he was 13 etc. He's the blue print, and like I said, genius, with ways of his own. He copies no one but the whole industry copies him.
GD is an artist that comes along only once in a millennium. "Only a few idols have etched their names in the annals of Korean pop culture as "Cheon-nyeon-dol" or "the 1000 years idol." This title means an idol that is so transcendent that it only comes out once every 1000 years." 👑 "G-Dragon, aka Kwon Jiyong, is a living legend. As the leader of Big Bang, he revolutionized the landscape of K-pop. His lyrics are poetry, and his stage presence is electrifying. He’s the alchemist who turns melodies into gold. GD’s exceptional skills as a rapper, singer, producer, and songwriter set him apart from his peers."
Last year gdragon was falsely accused of drug use, and he asked to be investigated to clear his name since in Korea it is a very serious thing (that is about the receipts), he told them it was a lie and that he was going to prove it to them, then the media began to use his tiks to make people think that it was like this when gd has social anxiety, they began to make memes about him, attack him and make fun of him. In addition to publicly facing the media, he also showed that things the police themselves said were lies, in fact on the table where he sits are the glasses he used when he showed up for the investigation, gd never apologized like other celebrities do in Korea, he even joked when he left the station, this song is closely related to that moment, it also has things about his previous mv, gd made the police, the Korean media including the government apologize to him, gd changed the industry totally without him YG, BTS, Black Pink as he is known, 90% of idols have named him as their role model, another thing to highlight is that gd does not care about the numbers, he leaked his song a day before the premiere, he uploaded his MV to his channel, he is an extremely talented guy that when you know more about him you understand what he means to the industry, gdragon has been compared to Michael Jackson by billboard in Korea with seo taji for his importance and relevance I hope you give yourself the opportunity to get to know gd more he is an incredible man In fact, there would be no K-Pop as it is known today if it were not for G-Dragon. He also fought for idols to be able to intervene in their own music, to have rights, he exhibited the purchase of prizes, G-Dragon made foreign companies invest in Korea, G-D is one of a kind.
He is a generous!!! You missed a lot from his lyrics... words play... even he rymed with 'i don't give a shit... 돈 (don) 기부 give 억 uhck 씨익 ci ik.. sounds exactly same..both language... He said North East West South in Koran..and iif you combine them of first letters become NEWS and he is interrupting news cast in this video.. royal straight flush bars... Dragon fly ( he is fly ) means cool... and so on... if you really be attention and disect his lyrics you can find many many bars and word play lol
GDRAGON's lyrics have 2,3 and 4 meanings.. across languages, yes- As an English speaker you were meant to hear "BIGBANG".. in Korean he has double or triple meaning. Interesting that your said the word "FLEX".. Because GDRAGON said his genre of music for this album is "FLEX HIP HOP" you cant do that without receipts, right.. IN regard the the Rolls Royce Phantom.. GD has one - along with his other dozen + luxury cars. Flexing with credentials. ( just in this MV, not even a feature.. one of the three rings he is wearing is 6Million USD).. not coming back to make money.. just coming back because "MAKING MUSIC IS HIS MAIN JOB". SO many people are going crazy across so many countries!
G-Dragon produced the first light stick. The first to play instruments at concerts. Bigbang the first to dye their hair and change hairstyles and so much more. This is why all Kpop groups look up to them. Kings. BIGBANG debuted in 2006, they were the first KPOP idols to write and produce their own music because back then it wasn't allowed by the agencies. YGE started to give freedom and trust to GDRAGON (the leader of BIGBANG) to demostrate what he was capable of.

Big Bang is a K-pop group that GD belongs to. GD is the leader of Big Bang and is called the king of K-pop. The reason is that he has maintained the top for over 10 years except for a 7-year hiatus and GD is the first Korean idol to compose, write lyrics, and produce. After that, idols like GD began to appear who compose and produce. In Korea, GD was the idol of all celebrities. It is no exaggeration to say that the current Korean idols were influenced by Big Bang. Even BTS, the world's best Korean idol group, respects GD. GD is a genius musician. Every song he releases has monopolized the number 1 spot in Korea and even people who don't like GD (a very small minority) acknowledge his talent. The title "king of K-pop" was not given for nothing. In addition, GD's fashion is also known worldwide, so the Chanel president invited GD and other brands want to have GD. GD is not only talented in music, but also has a great influence in leading fashion. Everything GD does sells out!! I've been waiting for GD's new song so much, thank you The new song is also really good GD is GD after all!! Big Bang is the K-pop group that GD is in. GD is the leader of Big Bang and is called the king of K-pop. The reason is that he has maintained the top for over 10 years, excluding a 7-year hiatus, and GD is the first Korean idol to compose, write lyrics, and produce.

Listen, lol BTS is my ult bias group forever, I'm in that Bangtan shit for life, my blood is probably purple lol.... But GDragon, I don't think I would care about kpop if GD didn't intro me into the world of kpop, he's such a iconic legend, some BTS members became idols because of GDragon.... There's alot of aspects of kpop culture that he invented, he's just that guy
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. 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, 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": 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 recognized 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 rumor 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 criticize 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 criticized 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.
bigbang's most famous songs are definitely Fantastic Baby and BangBangBang but they are very much early 2010s k-club type music 😅 i recommend watching bigbangs most recent release, Still Life, an absolutely beautiful ballad. as for gdragon, Crooked and That XX are probably his most well liked songs, they're both very representative of his works
G to the D or 'GOAT' the livin' legend. Here you can also say that GD is short for 'GOAT' the livin' legend (since this starts with G and ends with D).
thank you for reacting to this and i'm glad you enjoyed it. :) if you wanna check out more BigBang and GD here's my personal recommendations : BigBang : Loser, Monster, Bang Bang Bang, Fxxx It, Bae Bae, Bad Boy, Love Song, Let's not Fall In Love, Blue, We Like to Party, Lies, Haru Haru, Don't Tell Me Goodbye. GD : Crooked, That XX, Who You, Butterfly, Untitled, One Of A Kind, Crayon. GD & Taeyang (BigBang Subunit): Good Boy. GD & T.O.P (BigBang Subunit) : Knock out, Baby Goodnight, High High, Zutter, Oh Yeah.
G Dragon is the legend of kpop, the goat of korea. My favourite coment by someone explaining what he was doing the past seven years was " just designing nike shoes". If you know kpop, you have to know G Dragon. Bts mabey has large fanbase around the world but Bigbang was like the Korean, Korean group. Bts mabey pawed the way for younger groups abroad, but bigbang was the one that made this possible for them in Korea. It wasnt about streaming their music but just to enjoy it. You should checked out some bigbangs song: bang bang bang, and fantastic baby these are probably the most famous one
before the song came out, he put bidding on some items of his creation and make millions and donate everything to charity... because the have the receipt..the powerrr
Yes 1988 is his year of birth. 1988 was the year of the dragon. His Korean name literally translates to mean G-Dragon. This 2024 is also the year of the dragon. A lot of what he does has meaning and is connected, it's well thought out. 8 translates to fortune in Chinese/Asian culture, and he has the riches to match it too.
I know you read the disclaimer at the end of MV about the animals.. " yah whatever".. but it had a deeper meaning. The only animals in the MV were baby goats - Kids. GDRAGON introduced himself to baby goats as "the GOAT".. Goat surrounded by Kids. None YET at GOAT level.. The kids were wearing university/college blazers .. Gdragon is a professor at KAIST university.. so some of his "Kids" there will become GOATS of their industries in the future. ALL of GD's MV has layers on layers. I hope you enjoyed it.
The reason he said in this song "Laughing End Money Donating millions Grin" probably connected to his investigation last year. " 3 : 07 in this video - "It's a joke," G-Dragon tells reporters after police probe And yes he made new fund called JusPeace (Justice and Peace)
the donations is not refferencing to palestine altough yes he do it, but its more refference to last year incident when he falsely accused of drug user, he prove he is innocent ( got all the receipts) and after that he donating to create foundation of Anti drug (king Move - donating million grins) , so yeah not that shallow, he is Deeeeepppp
What you need to check out for GD and Bigbang? Everything. Almost every 3rd Gen Idol that I can think of has cited them as an inspiration or claimed to be a fan of them. That has even extended to 4th gen and even some 5th gen. For good reason too. They probably have the most vocal celebrity fans out there too. Which can be verified by words spoken from their own mouthes over time or attendances to concerts etc. Not the fandom forced connections & fanfics you see all over the place these days.
You could watch the most recent Big Bang release, Still Life, from a few years ago. It dropped without notice for Big Bang fans and though very different from this one, it shows the range of the group.
Hi u r doing good, u should try tasting the old kpop songs starting like 2008? Big bang generation k pop started to rise from that generation so it will help ur understanding new music like this one. More importantly, songs are really awesome and most koreans are still loving those songs
Next Please react to Enhypen (EN-) group, they have vampire lore, recommend song below: drunk dazed - bite me - criminal love - chaccone - still monster - fatal trouble - karma etc (some doesn't have music video, go check from music show)
Don't know GD's feelings, but I think that the Palestinian thing seems to be one of the rumor things he is talking about. The CEO of the USA music distribution company for this song is a Palestinian American raised in California. Same distribution company as people like Shaboozey. He seems a nice guy and am sure he empathises with anyone going through a terrible circumstances. He has donated money to many things over the years and recently donated a lot of money to set up a support organisation for youth who get into drug related problems.

WELL SAID!!
Correct
Gdragon is actually another level even from BTS in Korea, actually. While a lot of idols have a fan base and that's how they get their streams, sales, etc., Gdragon and Big Bang was loved by everyone, so I don't think there was even really a streaming culture for them. But even then I think Big Bang was the first artist to achieve all songs of their albums being the top X consecutively on the music charts.
Gdragon and Big Bang were the first to do numerous things such as: (honestly this is such an incomplete list)
- Gdragon was also one of the first idols to write (and be highly successful) with his own songs
- First male idol to win the Daesang both as a group and individually. Including with Big Bang, he won 13 daesangs.
- "Julsaewoogi" = when all songs of an album are top of music charts (consecutive). He created this with his first sollo album.
- First Korean singer to be on the annual Billboard album artist chart.
- First solo in Korean singer history to hold a concert at the Seoul World Cup Stadium; highest number of concert viewers
- He created the "airport fashion".
- He created the first light stick (previously, fans used coloured balloons or signs)
- Frst person in Korea to become a global ambassador of a luxury brand
- First Asian global ambassador of Chanel, Givenchy
- His brand has a collaboration with Nike
-> He's a fashion icon in Korea to the point where people said that once he went into the military, Korea's male fashion would stop. He's also highly respected even by Korean rappers of the underground scene, and just by everyone tbh.
We VIP don't have streaming culture.just listen all they music everywhere,everytime.
Cos his song is not just one right😊
BigBang, in Asia, still is the biggest and most influential kpop group 💛
There would not be a K-Pop today without him. Pioneer in KPOP
G-dragon is a rapper, a singer, a song writer, a lyricist, a music producer, a dancer, a fashion brand owner, a designer, an artist, a global fashion icon, and an Idol.

Well that's accurate, I don't know kpop lol
G dragon is called king of K pop not because of streaming and views. G dragon is recognized as king of k pop because he is so talented.
King just being the King OF KPOP 👑

In addition to publicly facing the media, he also showed that things the police themselves said were lies, in fact on the table where he sits are the glasses he used when he showed up for the investigation, gd never apologized like other celebrities do in Korea, he even joked when he left the station, this song is closely related to that moment, it also has things about his previous mv, gd made the police, the Korean media including the government apologize to him, gd changed the industry totally without him YG, BTS, Black Pink as he is known, 90% of idols have named him as their role model, another thing to highlight is that gd does not care about the numbers, he leaked his song a day before the premiere, he uploaded his MV to his channel, he is an extremely talented guy that when you know more about him you understand what he means to the industry, gdragon has been compared to Michael Jackson by billboard in Korea with seo taji for his importance and relevance I hope you give yourself the opportunity to get to know gd more he is an incredible man
In fact, there would be no K-Pop as it is known today if it were not for G-Dragon. He also fought for idols to be able to intervene in their own music, to have rights, he exhibited the purchase of prizes, G-Dragon made foreign companies invest in Korea, G-D is one of a kind.
He had me at "I've got all the receipts".....YESSSSSSSSS
He is a generous!!! You missed a lot from his lyrics... words play... even he rymed with 'i don't give a shit... 돈 (don) 기부 give 억 uhck 씨익 ci ik.. sounds exactly same..both language...
He said North East West South in Koran..and iif you combine them of first letters become NEWS and he is interrupting news cast in this video.. royal straight flush bars... Dragon fly ( he is fly ) means cool... and so on... if you really be attention and disect his lyrics you can find many many bars and word play lol
GDRAGON's lyrics have 2,3 and 4 meanings.. across languages, yes- As an English speaker you were meant to hear "BIGBANG".. in Korean he has double or triple meaning. Interesting that your said the word "FLEX".. Because GDRAGON said his genre of music for this album is "FLEX HIP HOP" you cant do that without receipts, right.. IN regard the the Rolls Royce Phantom.. GD has one - along with his other dozen + luxury cars. Flexing with credentials. ( just in this MV, not even a feature.. one of the three rings he is wearing is 6Million USD).. not coming back to make money.. just coming back because "MAKING MUSIC IS HIS MAIN JOB".
SO many people are going crazy across so many countries!
G Dragon and Big Bang have massive power in Asia. Selling out concerts and albums within minutes.
G-Dragon produced the first light stick. The first to play instruments at concerts. Bigbang the first to dye their hair and change hairstyles and so much more. This is why all Kpop groups look up to them. Kings.
BIGBANG debuted in 2006, they were the first KPOP idols to write and produce their own music because back then it wasn't allowed by the agencies. YGE started to give freedom and trust to GDRAGON (the leader of BIGBANG) to demostrate what he was capable of.

Big Bang is a K-pop group that GD belongs to.
GD is the leader of Big Bang and is called the king of K-pop.
The reason is that he has maintained the top for over 10 years except for a 7-year hiatus and GD is the first Korean idol to compose, write lyrics, and produce.
After that, idols like GD began to appear who compose and produce.
In Korea, GD was the idol of all celebrities.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Korean idols were influenced by Big Bang.
Even BTS, the world's best Korean idol group, respects GD.
GD is a genius musician.
Every song he releases has monopolized the number 1 spot in Korea and even people who don't like GD (a very small minority) acknowledge his talent.
The title "king of K-pop" was not given for nothing.
In addition, GD's fashion is also known worldwide, so the Chanel president invited GD and other brands want to have GD.
GD is not only talented in music, but also has a great influence in leading fashion.
Everything GD does sells out!!
I've been waiting for GD's new song so much, thank you
The new song is also really good
GD is GD after all!!

Our king👑
He was born August 8, 1988 ( 08/8/1988) . He came Back after 7 years in hiatus, exactly 88 Months he drop this SONg❤
Listen, lol BTS is my ult bias group forever, I'm in that Bangtan shit for life, my blood is probably purple lol.... But GDragon, I don't think I would care about kpop if GD didn't intro me into the world of kpop, he's such a iconic legend, some BTS members became idols because of GDragon.... There's alot of aspects of kpop culture that he invented, he's just that guy
Big Bang are kings, the blueprint, the whole kpop scene is shaped after them, please don’t ever compare them to nobody else, ever again
Hope you'll checkout a number of his songs, he's a composer & a great lyricist, you absolutely won't regret it
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. 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, 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":
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 recognized 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 rumor 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 criticize 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 criticized 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.
bigbang's most famous songs are definitely Fantastic Baby and BangBangBang but they are very much early 2010s k-club type music 😅 i recommend watching bigbangs most recent release, Still Life, an absolutely beautiful ballad. as for gdragon, Crooked and That XX are probably his most well liked songs, they're both very representative of his works
G to the D or 'GOAT' the livin' legend. Here you can also say that GD is short for 'GOAT' the livin' legend (since this starts with G and ends with D).
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
I hope you react to more GD!!
Gd 🐐
GD loves cars, he has a lot of luxury cars himself.
thank you for reacting to this and i'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
if you wanna check out more BigBang and GD here's my personal recommendations :
BigBang : Loser, Monster, Bang Bang Bang, Fxxx It, Bae Bae, Bad Boy, Love Song, Let's not Fall In Love, Blue, We Like to Party, Lies, Haru Haru, Don't Tell Me Goodbye.
GD : Crooked, That XX, Who You, Butterfly, Untitled, One Of A Kind, Crayon.
GD & Taeyang (BigBang Subunit): Good Boy.
GD & T.O.P (BigBang Subunit) : Knock out, Baby Goodnight, High High, Zutter, Oh Yeah.
G Dragon is the legend of kpop, the goat of korea. My favourite coment by someone explaining what he was doing the past seven years was " just designing nike shoes".
If you know kpop, you have to know G Dragon. Bts mabey has large fanbase around the world but Bigbang was like the Korean, Korean group. Bts mabey pawed the way for younger groups abroad, but bigbang was the one that made this possible for them in Korea. It wasnt about streaming their music but just to enjoy it.
You should checked out some bigbangs song: bang bang bang, and fantastic baby these are probably the most famous one
could we get some deep dives into big bang / gdragon?
before the song came out, he put bidding on some items of his creation and make millions and donate everything to charity... because the have the receipt..the powerrr
He comeback since 7 years
Yes 1988 is his year of birth. 1988 was the year of the dragon. His Korean name literally translates to mean G-Dragon. This 2024 is also the year of the dragon. A lot of what he does has meaning and is connected, it's well thought out. 8 translates to fortune in Chinese/Asian culture, and he has the riches to match it too.
You just untapped into greatness. Go back and listen to any gd or big bang, you will be amazed. New subscriber sending love!!!
BIGBANG is the pinnacle of kpop, imo. BIGBANG & 2NE1 are unrivaled to this day.
I know you read the disclaimer at the end of MV about the animals.. " yah whatever".. but it had a deeper meaning. The only animals in the MV were baby goats - Kids. GDRAGON introduced himself to baby goats as "the GOAT".. Goat surrounded by Kids. None YET at GOAT level.. The kids were wearing university/college blazers .. Gdragon is a professor at KAIST university.. so some of his "Kids" there will become GOATS of their industries in the future. ALL of GD's MV has layers on layers. I hope you enjoyed it.
his songs and mvs are immaculate especially his song coup'd'etat (not sure if i spelled that correctly hahaha)
The reason he said in this song "Laughing End Money Donating millions Grin" probably connected to his investigation last year. " 3 : 07 in this video - "It's a joke," G-Dragon tells reporters after police probe
And yes he made new fund called JusPeace (Justice and Peace)
you will be more impress once you dive into the korean lyrics. all the words play, and his background.
the donations is not refferencing to palestine altough yes he do it, but its more refference to last year incident when he falsely accused of drug user, he prove he is innocent ( got all the receipts) and after that he donating to create foundation of Anti drug (king Move - donating million grins) , so yeah not that shallow, he is Deeeeepppp
G dragon is on icon of kpop..but..
Don't forget
T.O.P
just one word> GOAT
It is just a poster in the mv. But he rides a Rolls Royce irl
What you need to check out for GD and Bigbang? Everything. Almost every 3rd Gen Idol that I can think of has cited them as an inspiration or claimed to be a fan of them. That has even extended to 4th gen and even some 5th gen. For good reason too. They probably have the most vocal celebrity fans out there too. Which can be verified by words spoken from their own mouthes over time or attendances to concerts etc. Not the fandom forced connections & fanfics you see all over the place these days.
React to all Music of Bigbang, And Gd songs ❤ Killed it
wow hahahahaha
You could watch the most recent Big Bang release, Still Life, from a few years ago. It dropped without notice for Big Bang fans and though very different from this one, it shows the range of the group.
He is the king of kpon the Living legend
If you want to be known as kpop fans, u need to know big bang first..the are king of idol
Hi u r doing good, u should try tasting the old kpop songs starting like 2008? Big bang generation
k pop started to rise from that generation so it will help ur understanding new music like this one.
More importantly, songs are really awesome and most koreans are still loving those songs
Thank you my king 💛👑
Yes before bts and the effect of Bigbang made kpop go big 💯🗯️
Next Please react to Enhypen (EN-) group, they have vampire lore, recommend song below: drunk dazed - bite me - criminal love - chaccone - still monster - fatal trouble - karma etc (some doesn't have music video, go check from music show)
Don't know GD's feelings, but I think that the Palestinian thing seems to be one of the rumor things he is talking about. The CEO of the USA music distribution company for this song is a Palestinian American raised in California. Same distribution company as people like Shaboozey. He seems a nice guy and am sure he empathises with anyone going through a terrible circumstances. He has donated money to many things over the years and recently donated a lot of money to set up a support organisation for youth who get into drug related problems.
can you react to gdragon full performance at MAMA 2024,he performed with other bigbang members please 🙏🥺
React to the judge from hell drama
Its a diss
bts before bts? what? lol
it's literally a diss track lmao.....you need to dig deeper to know the meaning to his lyrics
Watch G Dragon===>>Bigbang ''FANTASTIC BABY"" MV 🔥🔥🔥
