The thing with his lyrics is that they often either have korean wordplays that don't translate at all without a long explanation or he even does multilingual wordplays. Having sentence in korean but letting it end on a english word that sound very much like the expected korean word and gives the line 2 meanings. I wish I spoke korean well enough to catch all of these

"Narsha" means "fly high or soar" in medevial Korean. "Mir" means "Dragon" in medevial Korean. So, he is saying "a drangon flies high". Moreover, "Mir Narsha" is a phrase taken from a Korean medieval ode to praise a king. In short, Mir(=dragon=G Dragon=king) flies high. In outro, you see "88" of which pronunciation in korean means "vigorously". So, the ending scene shows "Drangon flies vigorously or powerfully!"
1. "King is still poppin' (star) 'K'-Again'" is refering to him being known as King of K-Pop. "K-" is used to refer to Korean, like K-pop, K-Music, K-Fashion, etc. What he means here is you can fill with what ever after the K- he is the king of it all. 2. For random words that you dont understand... it's kinda difficult to explain since it requires understanding of Korean language. Most of it were pun and homophones that intended to have double or even tripple meaning. This is most apparent for lyrics that GD made which often makes no sense in english translation but have more meaning in original koreans. 3. You often hear something like english sounding lyric in bigbang/GD songs, it is intentional. A good example is at their song "FXXX IT" the chorus "에라 모르겠다/ ela moleugessda" (meaning: ~ah fuck it) sounds like "I just wanna get down" by intentionally. The same with and "일당백 '지뢰밭' 본업"BANG"/ildangbaeg 'jiloebat' bon-eob"BANG" is intetionally sounds like "BIGBANG" and "아리랑/arirang" in this MV is likely intentionally made to sounds like something else in english while also have other meaning in original korean.
mirsha is the old way of saying news in korean and narsha means to fly up! arirang is like an iconic cultural song of korea that brings up national pride usually.
you might want to watch "The Kulture Study: G-DRAGON 'POWER' MV" by Form of Therapy. Some lines do not translate well to english which might not make sense if you do not speak korean. He explains it well in that video. 👑👑👑👑
One of my fave lines and play on words here that truly amazes me how GDRAGON is real genius is the " I DONT GIVE A SHHHH,, then proceeds to the korean " DON GIBU EOK SHIK" its the laughing end money donated millions If you keep on repeating " DON GIBU EOK SHIK" Its a play on words BUT IT WILL SOUND AS "DONT GIVE A $HIT" korean native speaker catch this one as well and they are mind blown,, And the SOLD OUT EYEGLASS he wore on that day during interrogation,, 😂😂 when GD wears its it becomes sold out in an instant
Natural-disasters-unavoidable-circumstances -> Correction : Natural disasters - "irresistible force" It is a common expression in korean that "natural disasters are caused by irresistible force". However, G Dragon actually says "a genius' chronic disease" of which pronunciation is similar to "Natural disasters" in korean. G Dragon started to sing, dance, write songs, etc. from a very early age and has been called as "a genius". It is said that being a genius is a kind of disease. So, he means that "I am a genius and have irresistible power!"
You really should react to the two episodes of Zip Daesung that was filmed right before the MAMA 2024 show where he had G-Dragon and Taeyang as guests. It was awesome!!
The big U on the back of GD's jackets and also the U on the door in the beginning (below power on) present "U" from Ubermensch. You can see 2 men facing each other and it is the "Ubermensch" philosophy that GD interprets from Nietzsche. GD is a big fan of Nietzsche.
Bonamana 보나마나 means “Obvious” or “Obviously” (it’s also the name of a Super Junior album, so when you said that I was confused for a moment) Came back to edit and 보나마나 does appear to be the sixth track
BG,..thank u for diving into GDs Power lyrics 😂 now this is waht we appreciates more. If u really wanted to understand the Korean/English puns/homophones double meanings in Power lyrics, u should watch I guess Andy and Jas Power reeaction+lyrics interpretation u will really have a blast discovering the deepest dive of ower lyrics. Also pal in Korean is 8, he double the pal means 88, his bday year
It pains me to not understand his lyrics to the extent that they should be understood. I know this song has a lot more meaning even in the different images being shown. He uses wordplay where he states something in Korean but it sounds like something else English, I love that. when he gets on the news podium the glasses on the counter are the ones he was wearing when he walked into the police station for a drug investigation. The words laughing end money donated millions. He is literally saying what he did. After his talk with the police he talked to the press where they asked what the investigation intailed. he said he something along the lines of we laughed and it ended. He then went to start a charity organization and donate millions. I don’t understand the part that starts with power abuse. Unfortunately. I would be so happy if top is featured.
I want to comment on the goat scene. Are they fully grown goats? No. What do we call baby goats? - Kids. To reinforce that, what are the 'kids' wearing? Look and see that they all have on university blazers - thus younger generation still in college, but GD is a "King is still Poppin star- K" = ( GDRAGON is K-Pop Star - King) . He bows wearing his G.O.A.T horned hat ( respectfully) to the Kids as a greeting as he does in real life, (once grown - the kids too will become Goats). Reference dual - future K Pop Goats but also.. GD was appointed a professor at KAIST (university) - He recently introduced himself to the college students there.. they will become technology GOATS in a variety of industries. Finally - a third reference from that goat scene. (The Kids were being feed - a reference to MAMA 2015 diss - ' feed the kids so that there won't be a fight). Some suggest the number of the goats plus GD make 4 members of BIGBANG, but I don't agree with that because there would be no reason for GD to introduce himself - stating his name and position to his band mates because they know him like a brother already and GD has always held his bandmates in the highest esteem, not as kids, but KINGS along side him.
Much refers to the drug allegations. Some bar hostess made allegations that he got high in a club. With no evidence they couldn't call him in so leaked it to the press. This could have destroyed his career. But he lawyered up and demanded to take urine hair tests. Everything he wore to the police station sold out. He started a foundation for drug abuse and proved his innocence (brought receipts) and schooled everyone. Also a Truman show parody (his outfit is Jim Carry's). He has called his life a Truman Show before, because he has always been in the entertainment business. Some Koreans have broken down the complex multi language puns that are impossible to translate. Check out itsANDYandJAS reactions for that.
I also love that he threatened to sue if all the misinformation online wasn't taken down by a certain date and time. I wish more Korean celebrities would follow that path, especially Seungri, who is getting crucified with false clickbait slander. It's gone right off the rails.
I think the sets in the video are clues to the songs. Counting the wide angle lens writing in Korean there's 8 sets. The car and the goats are Power and Home sweet home. Goats getting together. That's Home sweet home and G dragon riding the best telling you about his journey since he was gone. That's symbolized by the car. It's even got lighting bolts on it. And as a VIP you can't see GD on a train and not think of How Gee. Maybe one song has How Gee's old school hip hop sound? Maybe one song has l heavy guitars symbolized by the band in the video?
@LocalBandSmokeout How Gee is a BigBang song. They did a huge ad campaign on a train with the song as the background. It's got an old school hip hop sound.
Power-abuse-questioned-tolerance -> I think "questioned" is incorrect translation. Correct translation is "ignored", of which pronunciation in korean is same as that of "questioned". Interpretation: Although media" abused power", G Dragon "ignored that with tolerance". Actually he didn't sue the media which wrongly accused him of drug use. Rather he donated tons of money to build an anti-drug foundation. What a tolerant man!!
"Narsha" also means "fly high or soar" in medevial Korean. "Mir" means "Dragon" in medevial Korean. So, he is saying "a drangon flies high". Moreover, "Mir Narsha" is a phrase taken from a Korean medieval ode to praise a king. Therefore, Mir(=dragon=G Dragon=king) flies high.
this is literally what u have to do with every gdragon song...and you still wont understand completely because, Engrish doesn't do his lyrics justice. Sometimes Andy and Jas channel will do real korean to englsih translations for us which is why i subbed to them and they are hardcore BB/Taeyang VIP's.
Great analysis, thank you! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Is it just me or the 3 sitting in the back that BG pointed out, isn’t the one sitting on the left wearing Squid Game green sweater? Maybe my imagination.
G Dragon world play is always confusing to us non koreans. Like in FxxK It during the chorus it goes "And I wanna get down", which sounds like Fxxk It in korean.
@ its based on real history of korea how 71 untrained student had to hold a post and defend from north korea.. so that ally forces(USA) can come to aid with south korean during the peninsula war.. that kinna changed the course of south korea and north korea..

Hmmmmm interesting....
