Good God, they really just treat him like he's a circus monkey. Please hang in there. Hope you find happiness soon, GD.

[@beeheaton]

Shame on all those people who made GDragon's life hell. Yhey are wicked. Thank God it didn't drive him to suicide.

Right 😢❤

[@디귿777]

He’s the biggest star in Korea but also has so many haters too…. As a long time fan I wish him nothing but happiness in the future.

[@oceanstaiga5928]

He didn’t even get to have a normal childhood and continues to have to deal with all the bs of the public and media to this day. Stepped out from the spotlight for 7 years and still couldn’t catch a break. Like vultures people going after him for false allegations, crazy life.

[@squibsp]

@oceanstaiga and crazy country, they love and hate with all their might very cruel

[@Buba387]

His mother is the reason he thinks he should handle all of this crap. I hope he is aware or will be aware of what happened to him.

[@salfred8252]

In his recent interview with Yoo Quiz on the Block, he said that he is finally living as Kwon Ji Yong. I hope he continues to have the chance to find himself. G-Dragon is legendary, but Kwon Ji Yong is also just as precious. I'm glad he's finally getting some rest and truly beginning to enjoy his life.

[@Menrva26]

Now I understand why he is the way he is right now. More power to him for coming back to the entertainment industry and working through it all !

[@KasiaJangMiMalinowa]

He's back! MAMA comeback 2024 couple days ago with the song "Home sweet home"! ❤

[@mintdoki]

I cried when his military life was explained. He was dehumanized when serving his country. Stared at in vulnerable places and his privacy was taken, even from a freaking doctor. And all he did was try to fit in…

[@carolineduliat]

What they did to him during his military service was so wrong. They should've been exposed for that. I have listened to him and BigBang back in the early days of his career but honestly at that time, I wasn't aware of fandoms activities. I really like him, BigBang and 2ne1 so much. But then, just like him I was also at that very moment very fragile and undergoing some personal issues on my own so I couldn't really follow their updates until very recently. When I first heard of his song power it reminded me so much of Eminem early song - without me where he also experienced some rough patch in his journey as a rapper in the music industry but he fought his way up and got to where he is right now. Nevertheless, I'm so happy to see GD back on stage after a long break, and I really hope his brothers (BigBang can help - I'm sure they must have been helping him to overcome his dark moments in life. I guess this year is a good year for me as I can also see Eminem and GD receiving awards for their long hard work. I wish you all the best GD, hopefully I can hear a song by you collaborating with Eminem one day that will be a blast👑💛🌼

[@aghasearmyshawolblinkonce8039]

I hope g Dragon finds someone that’ll love him unconditionally. I hope all idols find true love and happiness. Just hearing about him telling people how he feels lonely really broke my heart. No one should ever feel alone.

It's the sad tale of all kpop idols either they are slayed by media ,police or their fans .

That's because of how sad korean society and especially netizens are. They bash relentlessly.

[@7Mushrooms7]

Ive been a fan of him and Big Bang for many years and I won't stop supporting. He paved the way for so many artists and revolutionized the whole Kpop industry. It's time the media and the netizens put some respect on his name.

[@Prios-by5sz]

He is a true Dragon!! He has pass for a lot and most of the media (I don't get why) has always been against him, also something not mentioned in the video is how YG has betrayed him so many times, and how tired he was that he just let them get things like his name just to avoid more conflict. And yet he is and will be one of the best and fullest actual artist of the industry.

[@thatsfunny6163]

They hate him because they can't control him simple as that, he can influence people so he is seen as a danger by powerful people, that's why they're trying hard to disband Bigbang with those allegations and to turn people agains't them, like Seungri if you research it well you can clearly see he was used as scapegoat in that case

[@luvccritters2]

How do they expect Idols to feel? They are basically treated like circus animals on display to satisfy the delusions and fantasies of netizens! They cannot act like normal people their age! Many are in their teens and are ostracized if they do anything normal kids do at that age! They don't really have much control over their finances or anything else; it is all for the so-called fans! Sure many choose to be Idols coz the companies and TV etc make it look like a glamorous life! Many are forced to sign contracts while they are in their teens! Seriously what do teens know about the legalities of contracts? G Dragon has always been one of my favorite artists! I love K-pop and have since 2008! The music, the mv's everything about it is better quality than American music, but how the Idols are treated needs to seriously be made over! Thank you GDragon for your perseverance!!

[@7년정거장]

I definitely agree with your comment, but people have bulled him cuz he is different from others. This is such a different case.. The public praises him for being special, yet still treats him cruelly. That’s something I’ve always felt as a Korean who grew up watching him, even during his inactive periods.

[@patriss6613]

[@frildoh]

my mind went back to Shinee Jong Hyun, how he also said he tried his best to make everyone happy, to make songs that ppl will like, ppl still hate him.

[@Revengestar]

Leaking someone's medical records, staring at them when they shower, harassing them when they eat...whoever does that isn't human, that's lacking basic humanity and decency. If the same thing happened to a woman, the men who did it would be facing charges for sexual harassment. Because he is a man, that makes it ok? I hope he finds the peace he needs and the right to live as a human being.

[@waterwitch8902]

The way netizens behave with their idols makes me wonder why they feel the need to destroy the idols after awhile? Than they cry and cry when an idol ends themselves. 😢

[@mhqqiqin_]

Because of envious feeling. I believe most netizens doesn't have that extraordinary wealth and glamorous life with them so when seeing someone (in this case an idol) who used to have a glamorous life, they think they should struggle like how the netizens live. But that's just part of the netizens who think that way. Some people just want other people to suffer because other people suffering is their fuel to keep living.

I am a new fan of GD so I didn't know much about his life. After watching this video everything became crystal clear to me. It is very sad how the people of SK (the media & haters) treat such a jewel so badly while he is so adored all over the world. Now that GD has managed to come out of his hellish experiences and made a fresh comeback after 7 yrs, the only way is for him to achieve more than he did before so that no one dares to touch him anymore. I am so proud to be one of his fans because aside from his genius talents in music, his preseverence towards tough challenges is truly admirable. I hail my King of Pop !!!

[@kerstingravel8160]

What makes me sad about this is the fact that his mother let this little child be in such a situation. It’s so sick, the circumstances how he had to live and how he was treated, it makes me angry. All the money can’t buy happiness and I’m sure he got mentally hurt a lot. We can be happy we didn’t lost him in the way it happened to other idols who couldn’t stand the pressure anymore…

[@Buba387]

FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT. In some of his MVs you can see he was trying symbolically to kill his mother, to grow up and stand up against her. He stayed Peter Pan and he always had that innocent child vibe. GD probably has these MVs becaus it was all unconscious. It's quite fascinating when you start to connect the dots, but also so devastating and sad..

[@beckyruka2680]

I am very sorry you had to go through this. S. Korea has a very dark side when it comes to the treatment of their celebrities. You are so good at what you do. The day eventually comes when we, as people, learn not to care what others think. Especially those that are out to harm someone for no apparent reason. Jealousy plays into the reasons. We all need friends and acceptance. You have been deprived of that and will have to work through much hurt and undeserved treatment. You can do this and come out exceptionally strong because of what you have been through. Father in Heaven has helped me a lot and will help you as you seek him. You will find you will not be alone ever because you have Him. You will have the strength to overcome. Shame on S. Korea.

I don't remember the name of the show but I remember the interview where they were at an onsen or sauna, and they talked about their training days living in a sh*t hole apartment given barely enough food to survive. The person who is supposed to be watching over them was constantly gone, and when they became desperate for something to eat they broke into his room and found the guy who was supposed to be taking care of them had a whole stash a food he was hoarding for himself. It definitely broke my heart to hear that.

[@shelbycat8234]

This is the problem when people dehumanize idols and celebrities. They go through things. They have rough times and heartbreaks. I would never seek to be famous because to me it would be like a curse. I love my peace and calm and privacy. The way people act towards idols especially in Asian countries is just ridiculous. Swarming them everywhere they go. Not giving them an inch to breathe. It's no wonder so many of them struggle with poor health and depression. I can't help feeling secondhand embarrassment at the desperation of these sasangs who THINK they are normal fans. The level of OBSESSION has been so normalized that they don't even realize that they're acting like STALKERS already.

I've supported GD since I was 16, I am 30 next, I don't think his mother was to blame for any of this, his mother wanted him to be successful and he has been! The blame is the press and haters, he's a very, very positive and outgoing person and does not handle criticism very good, he's been in the limelight with that much pressure. So what if he smoked some Marijuana, he is a creative person. People need to stop hating and just appreciate the artist and the music. He's a icon, a legend! ❤

[@Buba387]

What do you mean his mother isn't to blame. He literally stayed Peter Pan because of her and suffered all of this. Children do what they think their parents will approve and love them for. He did it all for his mother approval and love. That's not what children are made for. His mom did him dirty. Consciously?? I don't think she was that aware, but tragically she did it unconsciously... We need knowledge, or this will continue to happen to the innocent children who only want to feel loved and safe...
