The logo and concept he designed for peaceminusone (his personal fashion brand) are so genius! A logo contains at least 5 meanings. 1，1. middle fingers up is equal to "✌️(peace gesture)-☝️(gesture of 1)=🖕️(middle finger)", which corresponds to the lyrics of this song. 2，2. Daisy is GD’s favorite flower, and it also represents peace. GD’s birthday is August 18, 1988, and his favorite number is 8, so the brand logo is a daisy with one petal missing at 8 o’clock, which is also “peace minus one” 3，☮️The anti-war logo with one less stroke is GD’s brand logo, which is also the logo you see on GD’s coup d’etat album. He used this logo in 2013. Anti-war (representing peace) minus one is also "peace minus one"，(There was no such thing as peaceminusone in 2013. It was only after the brand was established in 2016 that people realized that everything designed by GD can be worn habitually. It can be used in different works in different years. It is really genius). 4，This anti-war logo graphic has one less stroke. If you separate them, they are the two letters "G" and "D". 5，The meaning of "peaceminusone": combine peace with the ideals and shortcomings of reality, and find the intersection between the two. It symbolizes G-Dragon’s pursuit of a balance between the ideal world and real-life challenges. I think such a classic logo design is no worse than any of the world's top business logos. When you understand it, it is a genius logo❤
Thanks for the breakdown! I had no idea there were so many meanings and references to it but when I heard it was his initials during a reaction to their guide I'm pretty sure the first words out of my mouth were, "he's a genius".
Great timing & choice, thank you. I always feel GD cried his heart out when I watched his Superstar live, especially that 2nd performance. And it breaks my heart & makes me choke up every time.🥺 That Hello is just… Yes, Middle Finger Up to all the media who spread absurd misinformation. Can’t believe the news anchors were mad that GD didn’t apologize. Didn’t they owe him one?
There is another very detailed point. If you compare 's live performances in different regions, he will have different levels of presentation. In Asia, he really won't raise his middle finger and will only use similar movements instead. But in Western countries, he will express it more clearly and raise his middle finger because people can accept it. He knows how to measure according to cultural differences and has a very good sense of proportion.
Before I even watch the reaction, EXCELLENT CHOICE AND TIMING!!!! It's not like he could say this at the press conference yesterday. Middle fingers up for real.
Fun fact: Peace minus one is GD's brand and it also forms his logo. Imagine the peace sign and minus one line from it, it will give G and D. Or just search up gdragon peaceminusone and look at the logo 😂 The logo is also behind him in the background when he was singing. Seriously, his creativity with his name. From Kwon Ji Yong to GDragon to GD to peaceminusone 😂
Fyi, again? Sorry i just want share haha 1. 2017 Jiyong once did IG live at midnight after his concert schedule, he live with IYE (his cat) on live he said that he couldn't sleep, there's no one at home so that's why VIP at that time worry bout him cuz we kno that jiyong hv depression and anxiety + he worry too bout TOP case at that time. Like on his song superstar,right? He just talk with IYE (his cat) and nobody was with him. 2. Bullshit > was gonna be GD comeback title track when he released KJY in 2017 but TOP's incident happened a couple days before the release of KJY and so it was decided to swap the title comeback song to Untitled, 2014 instead. That's why Mv of bullshit can only be seen on his USB (his album Kwon JiYong). 3. Middle fingersr up > there is an element of satire of government system, people who pretend to kno him, haters, etc and he use his own brand logo. We kno gd likes to use metaphors in his lyrics so sometimes it's hard to understand.
Don't apologize! I love learning more about our boy GD. I know he did a live but no idea it's because he was feeling alone. That's so sad. It upsets me that people know he had depression and anxiety and still they make mean comments about his nervous ticks and stuff. I love how he expresses himself through his music and I admire his courage to do so. Long live the king!
Such a fitting reaction today T. Love it. Superstar always makes me so sad. I get very angsty (is that even a word?) when I hear that song, I just wanna give him a huge hug and tell him how awesome he is. And of course Middle Fingers Up is very appropo right now especially. You're right, that lyrics vid was way off in the translation. Good to see a more accurate translation in the MOTTE performance. I saw in one of the comments below that some news people in Korea are expecting an apology from GD??? and upset that they haven't received one yet!! Unreal. I'd love to see him sue for defamation of character when this is all said and done. But no doubt he will just gracefully ride it out as he always has.
Thanks, girl! Yeah, I read that too. I'm not sure why they think he should but let me tell you, it's toxic how they treat people. Don't you want to just give him a hug?
Please don't be surprised if there is bad news about bigbang. The media there works hard to cover up big political cases, making Big Bang members targets. #Staywithbigbang❤️
Congrats on reacting to all the songs from KJY EP ! This album was so brutal. Funny thing is that the live performances for Superstar had accurate lyrics than the actual lyric video that you reacted which is not surprising considering how complex GD is with his writing. Yep, Superstar is also a brutal song, not as much as Divina Commedia but it hurts to see it cause in all of his performance, he's all by himself on the stage and away from fans too, almost like there's literally no one there for him for those 3mins. I miss him more now. 🥲
@@tdragonreactionsyou definitely should, you should listen to the EP again right before you react to his MOTTE Documentary… it’ll break you but also gives you an amazing insight of how much of a creative person he is 😂😊

It always breaks my heart when he sings Superstar, especially when he's in the red jacket. He was so thin and going through an impossible time.
😭 I know....
Great timing & choice, thank you.
I always feel GD cried his heart out when I watched his Superstar live, especially that 2nd performance. And it breaks my heart & makes me choke up every time.🥺 That Hello is just…
Yes, Middle Finger Up to all the media who spread absurd misinformation. Can’t believe the news anchors were mad that GD didn’t apologize. Didn’t they owe him one?
I watched it and got really upset. Poor Ji left so anxious.

But in Western countries, he will express it more clearly and raise his middle finger because people can accept it.

I always felt he was thoughtful and respectful. That really showed recently too with the whole drug conspiracy.
Before I even watch the reaction, EXCELLENT CHOICE AND TIMING!!!! It's not like he could say this at the press conference yesterday. Middle fingers up for real.
He most definitely was...in his head. 🤣 I'm pretty sure he wrote a whole new song in his head while answering their questions. 😏💪🏼
yep. Just the word hello makes me feel lonely and empty 😶
And you're right! “Middle Fingers up” is the song that perfect describes recently situation.
He sounds like a kid when he says it too... Pulls at your heart strings even harder.
Fun fact:
Peace minus one is GD's brand and it also forms his logo. Imagine the peace sign and minus one line from it, it will give G and D. Or just search up gdragon peaceminusone and look at the logo 😂

Btw, if you're interested you can also listen to his demo of Cafe. It's really good
Yes, I remember seeing that in the doc I watched. That blew my mind.
I love gd superstar for real
เพลง Superstar ทำให้ฉันนึกถึงตอนที่จียงมา live Instagram เขาบอกว่ากลับมาจากทัวร์ต่างประเทศและบ้านไม่มีใคร เขาเหงาก็เลยลองมา live ดู ตอนนั้น Instagram พึ่งมี features นี้ จึงเป็นการ live Instagram ครั้งแรกของเขา เขาดูเหงามากจริงๆ
ส่วนเพลง Middle Fingers-Up ตอนฟังครั้งแรกฉันคิดว่าเป็นเพลงสดใส เพราะมีทำนองที่ฟังดูน่ารัก แต่พอดูคำแปลเนื้อเพลงก็พบว่ามันต่างจากทำนองมาก 😂 ควอนจียงเป็นอัจฉริยะ 👍🏻✨️
Ps. คลิปหนีบกระดาษนั่นเป็นสินค้าในแบรนด์ของเขา peaceminusone 😁
ขอบคุณสําหรับความคิดเห็นของคุณ! โอ้ใช่ฉันจําได้ว่าเห็น แต่ฉันไม่รู้ว่าเขาทําอย่างนั้นเพราะเขาเหงา ฉันไม่คิดว่าเขาจะทําอย่างนั้นในตอนนี้ ฉันจะตายถ้าเขาทํา!
ผมเห็นด้วยกับคุณ นิ้วกลางขึ้นเสียงเกือบจะเหมือนเพลงเด็กคอรัสที่เป็น แต่แล้วเนื้อเพลงเป็น badass ผมหวังว่าการแปลนี้จะถูกต้อง Badass แปลเป็นภาษาไทยหรือไม่? 5555555. นั่นเป็นเสียงหัวเราะใช่มั้ย? 555555

Say no more. I completely understand. Ji just hits differently.

The part in Middle fingers up when he talks about Senguri's sleazy friend trying to get close to him always makes me cringe knowing what happened.
Was that why he wrote that?? 😮
@@tdragonreactionsYes the subtitles were early but he says they guy name drops Senguri at 21:11
@zeromega4541 k, let me check it out again. Thanks!
