SO THIS IS G-DRAGON 🤯 | G-DRAGON - POWER (Official Video) REACTION!!

[@michelleoliver68]

Kwon Ji-yong (Korean: 권지용; born August 18, 1988), best known as G-Dragon (지드래곤). He chose the stage name G-Dragon because his name, Ji (지) is pronounced like "G", and Yong (용) is Korean for "dragon"). G Dragon or GD, is a South Korean rapper, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur, known as the "King of K-pop".

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.

G Dragon or GD is a member of BIGBANG. BIGBANG's fandom is called VIP. The first Kpop group to have its own lightstick, called BangBong. It was created by BIGBANG's leader G-Dragon in 2006.

G Dragon is, also, a fashion trendsetter. Airport Fashion in Kpop started with G Dragon. Actually, as I'm typing this, there are a little over 1000 people watching a live video of people waiting for G Dragon at an airport. I wonder what he is wearing today. 🤔

[@layedah]

He is the Living Legendary KING of Kpop.

[@maryanakwon2831]

[@michelleoliver68]

In August 2024, YG Entertainment transferred the trademark rights to G-Dragon and GD, to Kwon Ji-yong at no cost. This transfer came after Kwon Ji-yong's contract with YG Entertainment expired in June 2023. Kwon Ji-yong owns G Dragon and GD Trademark Rights. Thank you YG Entertainment.

As the comment before explained the syllable for dragon (용) actually looks like a dragon that is looking up🐉. That's how you can remember it. One of my favorite songs by G-Dragon is called 'Untitled'. It shows a whole other side of him. It's from 2014. Hope you guys check the mv out! ❤

[@HB-Autitunes]

[@lelmdrWHO]

Yeeeeees

[@ajbee1065]

I would definitely recommend checking out Big Bang. I don’t have any recommendations because I’m not a VIP (their fandom) but I know others will have some. This is a group that proves when a group is successful, they can survive 2 members leaving and the remaining 3 can still maintain the group. GD said they never broke up so they don’t need to reunite. One left in 2019 surrounded by legal trouble and the other left the group last year. I’m excited to see what they have in store for us.

[@sasaa3094]

[@KSS352]

This is just a pre-track for the album! We are just waiting forever more!

[@soniad-fy6uq]

your interpretation was quite good. I think there's also a part of critics of the media and fake news, because he's been a victim of it for a long time and especially last year. He was falsely accused but calmly and strongly defended himself and ended up creating a fondation to help those addicted to drugs.

[@michaellenvitorino9796]

TEN - 'The First Mini Album' and 'Performance Film : 10'. Please.

[@soniad-fy6uq]

you might have problems guessing his lyrics because he likes to rhyme English words with Korean words😂. The sentence I don't give a sh--- is followed by a sentence in Korean that sounds similar but the meaning is that he laughed (which was the way he described his meeting with the police that finally had nothing against him) and gave money to a foundation he created to help those suffering from what he was accused of.

[@michaellenvitorino9796]

HUI - 'Hmm BOP', please

[@michaellenvitorino9796]

SB19 - 'Gento', please. Please check out this group. The vocals and rappers are AMAZING, I swear you won't regret it. After listening to them, you'll want to know more about the group because they're so good. They are a very overrated group, but I swear all of their songs are AMAZING and that is not an exaggeration. If you like them, I recommend looking for the live shows they do on a bus, they are really good.❤❤

The first eight minutes made me lose my patience, but I also heard another interesting explanation. GD's songs convey his own story. He has been struggling with public opinion media, the right to manipulate public opinion and capital in his own way.This has brought him a lot of trouble. He fought in an angry and straightforward way, but he didn't know that he was black and blue, and he didn't even have the ability to protect the team. His busy schedule and various pressures made him doubt his life and suffer from depression and health problems, but those forces wouldn't let GD go. Even if he didn't come back, he still experienced 2.1 billion hits of drug abuse and mental disorders last year. He didn't choose to escape, but chose a positive response, which silenced the public opinion of capital rights. GD's loss was also very heavy, but he saved his life. This time, he returned to convey his state with the song Power, and satirized and laughed at those who framed himself。He chose to go back to The Truman Show again, but he wouldn't choose to jump, but he would choose to go in and out freely. GD in The Truman Show is the protagonist and director, and those who don't want to see it can choose to get off.

[@soniad-fy6uq]

otherwise the 7 years were for the military but also to take a break because he was burned out before enlisting. His name is Kwon JiYong and he said he wanted to discover who KJY is
