Preach!! These new kpop fans don't know and/or forget that GD and Big Bang literally paved the way so that their idols can run! So glad the king is back! 👑

[@nurtiny1024]

king of kpop imo

[@Jiyongbutterfly9589]

The song gets better the more you listen to it !! Such a bop!

[@aikobabyz4705]

How did we live for 7 years without GD music😢

[@bigbangv.i.pforever8220]

I was wondering the same but im so happy he's back !

[@XyzyX154]

We didn't, we suffer. At least i'm feeling so empty this 7 years

[@pennyinheaven]

You said everything 2nd gen fans, VIPs feel. GD has ben through so much and over the years he just looked so healthy and peaceful. It didn't feel like he's chasing anything. That's why as much as we kept waiting, if GD decided not to comeback, it was fine - at least to me that is. But here he is, he is back. And I was the same, since he came out with a video updating about himself, I already thought that was a hint he's coming back but he wasn't so I was not expecting anything. I just don't anymore. I just wait and be surprised.

[@2112jodi]

The very first K-pop song i ever heard was Fantastic Baby, i never looked back. This song drop made my day!

[@myLisa.Chiquita]

Nobody can deny that he is the real king Such a genius and one of a kind Living legend 🐉💛

[@WiseSmellyLegs]

To add one major fan fact to PD’s speech about who G-Dragon is… YG Ent. made a trademark for the term “G-Dragon/GD” in 2003 (so like 3 years before the BIGBANG debut), because Yang Hyun Suk knew what he was going to be capable of and he saw the BIG POTENTIAL he had. Also… “Übermensch” might be the name of the album. It is a German word for Overman/Super-man, it is a concept in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.

[@SerenitySoonish]

Your words about GD make me so happy! He truly is one of a kind. And I'm so glad you translated and explained the wordplay, I think a lot of new fans may not think twice at the mv translation, unfortunately it is why English translations will never be enough for GD 😅 Also PD, I hope you are happy and well. You sound it ❤

[@d.l.6838]

„Übermensch“ is a German word and a concept by Friedrich Nietzsche (German philosopher), and describing something like super human, a goal for humanity to set for itself. The German prefix „über“ can have connotations of superiority, transcendence, excessiveness or intensity, depending to the word to which it is attached. „Mensch“ refers to a human being. Nietzsche“s Übermensch is creating new values motivated by love of this world and of live , being perfect in the sense of mastering all human obstacles. Hope this helps 💕

[@marleythewizard]

GD has posted quotes from him 🤔

[@gudrun5531]

Another thing I heard quoted from Gdragon from a long time ago, and which I appreciate as a writer myself, is that he said BigBang didn't want to try follow the trends of what the public liked. He wanted to make songs for BigBang, and make the public LIKE it. He mentioned that they'd include some experimental songs in their albums, and was pleased when those also did well.

[@ashd1788]

this is why GD is built different. up to this date, there’s no one like him

[@lorenax17]

I found BigBang in 2009 and I got into Kpop through them, I lived and loved everything BIGBANG. Oh man how time goes by

[@gudrun5531]

The way GD uses English throughout the song gives me a lot as a non-Korean speaker, and then listening to other youtubers I can understand that some of the ryming is with Korean words and causes double meanings. People who know both English and Korean get the full effect! And how the part where it sounds like he's saying "big bang" is actually just the way he says a Korean word and "bang!"--wow. Others say the "airirang" part is referring to the Korean wave internationally, like welcome to Korea everyone, which Big Bang is part of.

[@anairsta6507]

Big Bang was the first kpop group I started following after I discovered it, between 2007-2009 that I found them. I was listening to a lot of Jrock before I found Kpop. I happen to see a Big Bang MV in my recommended while watching a Visual Kai group. GDragon was my first crush in Kpop. He's the same age as me but older by a couple months. Listening to GD also was what made me noticed that I had a thing for deep voiced or unique voice Kpop rappers. I followed Big Bang all the way to their disbandment and bought all the Made albums with posters and have them all framed. I wish I could have gone to see them in Toronto during the Made World Tour.

[@사탕빨기왕]

I'm moved to tears. Thank you for loving the Emperor of Korean Music.

[@soniad-fy6uq]

GD himself said in ZipDaesung about BB "We can't get back together since we never broke up"

[@lackingmyface]

Same case with me!

[@pennyinheaven]

Didn't technically disband but same. I've listened to them since 08 but was not a VIP yet. I just listened to all of their songs, from BB-KR, BB-JP, solos, duo units, collabs because they just align to my type of music - hiphop/R&B. I've just listened to Anime OSTs, Neyo, Rhianna, Chris Brown, etc before Kpop. I was even a Cassiopeia - Bi/Rain's. Up until 2011 when they made a big comeback I realized I've been in love of BB for so long. Still am now. TOP is my bias but I love GD just as much. I wouldn't be a VIP without KJY.

[@mcdc9086]

I've waited so long for your reaction! And I feel the same, GD is someone I have no expectations to because no matter how much songs he's released thruout the years, they are all unique. So all I know is it's gonna be great whatever it is. Sometimes I think I'm just biased but based on how much influence he has I don't think I am. He is just that powerful and a genius.

[@Blackhairmlssimp]

I have been searching for this! I forgot your user name since i have not checked up reactions lately but i knew that i needed your reaction this time for sureeee❤❤❤

[@marsupeach]

5:54 stress on the “most authentic and push and growth” 😌

[@조은채-s1c]

지디는 아이돌이란 틀에 가두긴 그 틀을 벗어난지오래.. 지디는 그냥 하나의 장르로 봐야한다는 사람들이 많아요~~^^

[@danyraquinagoran6321]

OMG! I love your reaction!!! the words I can't express watching GD again❤❤❤

[@umairshaikh4204]

The king of k-pop G-Dragon 💛👑

[@paulinesolmiano2300]

PREACH! GD IS ONE OF A KIND 💛🔥

[@iamawitch1806]

I feel you, it is hard to desribe how powerful GD is and how big Bigbang influence the growth of KPop industry. When there is fan of gen 4/5 ask me about bigbang or GD i Will always getting emotional ( about how proud i am being a VIP till now)

[@sweetnessesj]

He’s really the GOAT and the king of Kpop. Period. Many can claim their faves are but truth is, it’s really GDRAGON

[@jeannedanielle]

I've been waiting for your review! thanks PD!!

[@VNZ.00]

GD IS JUST A LYRICAL AND RAP GENIUS, this song will easily go over new fans head. the king is back

[@fzfxfcf]

Guy Bigbang is the most loved in korea and still has achievements that none other has ever surpassed, even when they've been in the military and inactive for too many years, even the now popular bts can't surpass them because the only thing they got is big hit/hybe buying them americanized music and that's why they raised to where they are, this with all the tagging bigbang in their videos and all the copying and dirty stuff they did. Now is coming all to light and we cheer cause many already knew of the shady things they did.

[@fzfxfcf]

I remember you despising bigbang years ago, i don't forget that. And I sensed you not wanting to describe them as the legends that they are

[@SeReNitY217]

Agreed about that part where even if he doesn't comeback, i can totally understand that and not blaming him even one bit. Just because the amount of things he's been through cause of the media and everything. 😢

[@10sure-bang]

I know GD is exceptional, but when you say OMG I knew there's something extremely exceptional that non-Koreans (I) wouldn't understand. I'm glad I stanned him before Kpop became viral. I don't understand what he says but I can feel his message in his aura

[@jessikajuarez2776]

I was waiting for your reaction!!

[@kimi2286]

Felt like forever waiting for this video

[@grec.]

GD is an amazing rapper. I wholeheartedly agree. The respect I have for GD is immense. His comeback is really the highlight of my k-pop fan year.

[@bagirockcarlguksoo1786]

글로 발명품 also double punch line ...global means 글로발 world 세계적.. but 글로 발명품... invented by his lyrics... and also dragon fly - 잠자리, 지용 플라이 (he is cool) also 잠자리 - 누울자리...ha ha triple meaning... contained.... he is literally lyrical genierous... lol

[@decemberblue9307]

When I first listened to kpop, it was gd that caught my eye and for the longest time it was always him. He was my absolute fav up until the untitled album. The aura he had was insane! But waiting for a new big bang release or his solo content being delayed for so long, I just moved on and lost that craze I had. This release brought it all back to me as to why I loved him in the first place. The song wasn't my cup of tea at first but now it's the song I think of as soon as I wake up. It's catchy and has the nostalgia gd sound that I've been yearning for so long. I'm so glad he's back and cannot wait for the album FINALLY

[@theneme]

True that ....speaking every word of truth ...BIGBANG 🧠🔥🔥🧠💛💛💛

[@dianaaynesierrapimentel8307]

La legenda ha regresado que felicidad para el mundo 🐲💛🎉🎉. Es idol de los idols un icono

[@francesannisrael770]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REVIEW/REACTION TO THIS SONG! AAAAA

[@LeonineHefelsand]

If this is an appetizer, that full album is going to hit like an ICBM!

[@ange2384]

I think this is the fastest I ever clicked on a video!!

[@bbmbpjx]

I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION OMGG

[@ID_iKONIC_VIP]

GD is the Goat and 🦄

[@natalyescobar5534]

Omgosh all I been waiting for!!

[@ange2384]

PD omg I had the same reaction! I knew he was coming back but didn't realise it had happened. I lost my shit at work! my team were worried about me hahahaha one of the things I realised I really missed about GD is that his music can be enjoyed on a surface level but there is always more. His music and play on words, just the sounds and concepts he comes up with makes you want to understand, and I just noticed this now watching you try to make sense. Like you I didn't have any expectations but I wasn't ready for how emotional I got when I heard his voice. it was like the feeling I expected to feel when we heard Still Life. I looked up Ubermensch "The Ubermensch is a creative individual who is not bound by the laws of others, including God." so basically GD emphasizing how powerful he is. Aaaah I'm so happy just to know he's back. Soooo excited to see what he creates. I'm also soooo happy to just know that GD, Daesung,Taeyang and TOP are creating and sharing with VIPs in their own way and projects. I really believed I would never see them again as artists, to hear any new music from any of them again.

[@ashd1788]

I was a student with no money when I was obsessed with bigbang and GD. now that I got money because i’m a working woman, I’m spending my money on votings, and sacrifice a bit to stream for GD. because I couldn’t do that before. i’m so glad with this comeback, we just love him sm 🥹😩😭

[@soniad-fy6uq]

BigBang in Coachella was canceled because of Covid in 2020

[@anairsta6507]

I was like that too when I saw some of the reactors I followed had reactions to it. I didn't know he was going to release anything.

[@potatoz1295]

Damn, it has been long time since the last time I watched your reaction and you look good man, slimmer and healthier it seems. Good for youu! Keep it up as always! Also this song is fire, the instrumental is superb

[@jjangrymoomin762]

권력오남용 묻고 관용: 작년 마약 누명 피해 당시에 정치권과 경찰, 미디어가 자신에게 행했던 폭력을 용서하겠다는 뜻입니다. 천재지병 불가항력: 천재지변을 이용한 언어유희. 인간의 힘으로 어쩔수 없는 재앙. 종합해보자면 작년에 있었던 누명 피해는 천재들이 한번쯤 겪을 수밖에 없는 재앙이라고 생각하고 당시 나를 물어 뜯으려고 했던 모두(정치권, 경찰, 미디어)를 이젠 용서하겠다는 얘기같습니다.

[@ann.ann9988]

I like this content 😍😍😍

[@raquelasuncion121]

He still has that je ne sais quoi, Korean-style

[@NTP0112]

Huge Fan here since 2007. My first introduction with BigBang was Goodbye Baby. Listened a lot and Lie came after what a time back then. I was into hip hop rnb and only knew Se7en passion or TVXQ kpop style and BIGBANG was so my alley. Since then I followed them and their music guided me my whole life since I was 14. Whenever they come back I always thought what is gonna happen next what kind of music they will produce now. Cause GD came with such different beats lyrics freedom than other kpop artist. You got the iconics 2PM songs or Beast, Mblaq and etc. But BIGBANG man they always produced something new and Iconic. TAEYANG is my bias but without GD there would not be a YoungBae either. Watching the latest Zip Daesung made me cry. People hating on Idols a lot and GDs been so muc. Can’t we just try to enjoy what we have? Much love from Germany. Love listening to older fans. It feels like we all enjoyed their music since then Edit: yeah we 2nd gen wouldn’t be even mad, if he never comeback, but we kinda anticipated it I think. If you watch the zipdaesung part 2 you will get some hints about a bigbang comeback ;)

[@cecildolorfino5632]

Omg!!! Finally!!! Yay!!!

[@that1sha405]

20:15 started from the bottom now we here, right? Many rap songs said that

[@mariar3767]

Instead of chosing a big music label that had the necesary infrastructure GD is bulding his own road. Is only possible because he is GD and he really us capable to write and produce himself , not only music but MV and even concerts. Bigbang kind of organised their MADE tour themselves. This man , like always , didnt chose the easy road . Sign with big label , get easy promotion, have all that distribution done for you. He chose to experiment and risk for his interest in the evolution of music and how technology will influence art in general. Is not just about robots and virtual reality is also about the fact that AI now can copy your image , voice , create a fake of you . Galaxy may offer GD a way to copyright his identity so he does not wake up with some AI copy of himself . When GD is coming the future is coming with him .

[@fitrahsyauqi6261]

GD = King of Kpop 🐉👑

[@AnabelStars]

the melody from 1:46 to 1:49 reminded me of VNT's - Sound (Ye Ye Ye), i was like holy cow talk about a throwback!

[@teacake_94]

I got into K-pop in 2017 and I love a ton of it but once I discovered GD (the human firecracker) and BigBang there was no turning back, all other acts just seemed kinda dull by comparison. Delighted to see him back, the door closing at the end makes me laugh every time XD

[@조은채-s1c]

지디.빅뱅에 대해 잘아셔서 감사해요❤

[@anairsta6507]

I really want to learn how to read Korean, and how to speak and understand it. I have a Learn Korean box thing with CD's that I hope to use at some point.

[@사탕빨기왕]

Thank you for liking our country. I am truly honored.

[@sylvielebrun1733]

We, the non speaking Korean need people like you to show us the meaning behind the Korean words used by GD, but I will point out some things I caught. The glasses on the reporter’s table seem to be the same that he wore on his way to the police station last year. At the entrance of the subway where one of the Kwon twin is sitting shows the song titles of his coming new album. At the beginning of the performance video which you haven’t seen yet on the walls around the toilet shows World Tour. Thank you always for your great reactions.

[@사탕빨기왕]

Now KPOP has become global, but its starting point is GD. He created all the foundations. He is the last artist to unite all ages and cultures in Korea. Since then, KPOP has become a maniacal genre that is not of interest to its own people.
