G-DRAGON "Power" Music Video Reaction

[@EduardaSilveira]

couple of years?? seven FREAKING years 😭 but he’s finally in a very good place and we’re so happy to have him back 💛💛💛

[@thanchanok02]

😂😂😂 7 years ago

[@JIEYINLIN]

Can feel the desperation 😢😢❤

[@SerenitySoonish]

They meant since he was released from the military 😅

[@chimmychuree]

All the double and triple entendres, the word play, multisyllabic rhyming, inter-language play and rhyming and references was explained in itsANDYandJAS MV reaction and breakdown. I understand not all non Korean fans would understand and appreciate all his references and triple entendres because of the language barrier but all the Korean fans are gagged right now by how genius the lyrics are. He was rhyming multiple phrases and syllables in Korean and English with all the double and triple entendres here

GD Is Really Just So Talented and stylistic that you're really enjoying every single part of the song and music video because it's him and his style

He's wearing the same suit as Jim Carrey's character in the Truman Show.

credits to Tasty_playlist for the lyrics breakdown 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, 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 KZbinrs, 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. When GD says “개꿀” (gae-ggul), it doesn’t mean “super fun” or “good.” In Korean, “개꿀” is a slang term that suggests something is very easy or comfortable. So, when he says “애들이 나보고 개꿀이라더군,” he’s indicating that others perceive his life as very easy or effortless.” Übermensch is a german word that describes a concept from philosophy that means a human that has outgrown himself or herself, that is no longer burdened by the sorrows of ordinary people.

Woah I didn't realize just how deep this whole comeback went. Thanks for sharing!

[@정은-r6q]

This song is based on what you've been through, and it's a satire of media and abuse of power, and there are so many different satire elements in the music video

[@whooosedooo]

It feels like founding something that was lost a long time ago. 😇

[@SerenitySoonish]

It's his birth year and birth month/day 8/8/1988 and the year of the dragon, his family name also means dragon. I learnt the bad/complicated meaning it can have in the west but it also has a lot of meaning to him in a positive way ✌️

개유치함

[@freedomofspeech2420]

Not my style, I think it’s one of his worst sounding songs. The rap is fire but the chorus….The beat, was hoping for something more experimental from him for a new song in such a long time.

[@nadiasilva4449]

Literalmente le está mostrando su esencia a la s no uevas generaciones, ya sacará algo nuevo más adelante.
