the double meanings in the lyrics man GD is a pure genius!! kmedia and everyone tried to drag him down so many times but none succeeded. the wordplays in the lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways because it also reference to a lot of things. but here are some observations from X that i've also read about the lyrics: 1. 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. (like okay professor GD) 2. on the show YOO QUIZ, GD mentioned how him always being in the studio felt like he was on the TRUMAN SHOW. the POWER mv references this starting entering the studio GD has been confined in and ending with him freeing himself, just like the character in the movie 3. GD laughing at the end of his 4hr investigation (he laughed because they keep trying to accused him but because he got receipts and tested negative already a few times, it really was just a waste of time) then right after that investigation he donated millions to fight drug abuse 4. G-Dragon born on August 18, 1988, made a comeback after 88 months on the year of the dragon. This song was released at 18:00. Then if you noticed the metro map in the mv; there are 8 song titles written including power so i think the album will also have 8 songs in it. 5. in the newsroom table there is an eyeglass and it looks the same as the one he wore on the day of the investigation. HIS MIND IS JUST GENIUS!! KING OF KPOP INDEED!!
One more thing, his sound at the beginning from the left to right if you play on headphones loud enough. Then the song starts making you want to adjust the headphones. He means listen to yourself before listening to the song. Like it or not. It’s yours.
So happy he’s back doing music again. In a recent tv appearance GD said that in the last 7 years that he was away he came to understand the power of media… this song is a quiet diss to media, trolls knetz and haters
you're right about the translation not fully making sense because there is a lot of wordplay like A LOT of korean words that sound like english or have a different meaning in korea, he's a freaking genius, but after watching Andy and Jas's reaction video where they explained the meaning, i get it now, he's basically talking down to media that tried to bring him down
'Limited Edition of the second generation' true words have never been spoken. Dissed all of the haters and the medias who tried to defame him. The King is truly back
per genius website, this is a single and will be included in his upcoming album temp called GD2024* (has 8 tracks in total) 😊 88 months of waiting and he is finally coming back, this year of the dragon. GD, KWON JIYONG, king GD is back with more soon 🔥🔥🐉💕
Not sure if you are aware of what happened to him last year. A club owner or someone was caught selling drugs and she told the police a couple names including GD. Media and Netizens were furious and going after him since he had the weed scandal 13 years ago. That was like the biggest news though the police didn’t have any evidence and everyone already assumed he did it. People questioned the way he talks and the way he walks. His name was tarnished so he showed up to the police station to do the all the drug tests to prove he’s innocent. And of course he didn’t do any drug and tested negative
(mir) & (narsha) are two 2nd gen kpop idols, mir is from mblaq & narsha is from brown eyed girls. not sure what they have to do with that specific part of the song lol but shout out to 2nd gen! edit: just looked at some other translations and it seems like "mir" also means dragon in pure korean & "narsha" is in reference to the kdrama six flying dragons. i still think it's probably a double where he was also shouting out 2nd gen idols, since he had the "limited edition second generation" line before that.
@@anthonytoo native korean words, words that aren't loanwords or derived from other languages. the typically used word for dragon is 용 (yong), which is from traditional chinese & 미르 (mir) is the native/pure korean word for dragon. it's like the pure korean 닭 (dalk) for chicken verses the english loanword 치킨 (chikin). also why did you give up on your korean lessons? 😞
7:41 GD fused english and korean IDK how to explain this but he's doing a double meaning here Big is in Korean but it sounded english so if you connect it it sounded bigbang. An example from their song 'Fxxck it' lyrics went "Era moreugetda Girl, I wanna get down" sounds the same but different meaning
He's signed to galaxy corp I guess cos he's working with AI and just being artistic but he has YG to provide him all the helps he needs til now. Same Yg stylist and managers I guess. He's also worked with BABYMONSTER and is seen at YG studio w CL sooooo I guess we got a feat? 👀
This song is complicated meaning and full of wordplays such as Power sounds similarly like Pabo in korean means idiots too he was saying the power of media to publish articles both real and fake and it could destroy someone etc. There's a lot of hidden message behind the song and music video.
Power abuse questioned tolerance natural disasters unavoidable circumstances. My interpretation: people abused their power during his scandal. They could have just kept quiet but ran with the tabloids because they had that power. The questioned tolerance to me is like he tolerated so much being said about him and just focused on proving himself innocent so much its like how could he do it? The natural diasters unavoidable circumstances i feel like could be seen as him coming back like a natural disaster. You can't do anything to stop a natural disaster. Hes back and cant nobody stop him. Its unavoidable. GD is the king of idols. Hes been my number one idol since i discovered kpop as a teen. ❤ But music can be interpreted in many ways and idk how the meaning behind his decision in those lyrics.
he's signed in korea to some random company 'galaxy corp' that i don't think anyone knows anything about 😭 & i guess in america he's signed to 'empire' (which the only thing i know about is that they have shaboozey lol).
He is signed under Galaxy Corporation, not really an entertainment company but as they said it, GD is too creative to stay in a regular company, maybe they got him with that😂I trust his choice and even if it wasn't music, he was at least active in different stuff, he is even a visiting professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology😂 Also, this it's a pre release for his album, can't wait for more.
["Laughing End 'Money' Donating 'millions' Grin"] is my favorite lyric from this song: "Laughing End" = When G-Dragon came out to the media after the four-hour police investigation for drug abuse, they asked him how it went to which he jokingly and confidently replied 'I laughed in the end'. "'Money' donating 'Millions'" = After the results came out negative for G-Dragon's drug tests, he donated millions of Won to an anti-drug organisation. And then with "Grin", GD laughs in the end. (itsANDYandJAS broke the lyrics down in their reaction, a lot of wordplays and expressions that only make sense if you speak Korean, as usual with GD).
His lyric has double meaning i was like GODDAMMIT HIS SON FUCKIN NICEE every word and every thing about it has a fuckin meaninggggg Also he could choose any big lebel in America but bro choose EMPIRE own of Palestine guy. Bro is literally KING OF KPOP ❤
Empire is a USA company and is big. Has interests nit h just in USA, but also around the world. Just moving into the Asian market which makes it a good match for both GD and them. The CEO is a palestinian american raised in California. He reports to the board of directors. The company is owned by numerous shareholders - none of which have anywhere near a majority shareholding (i.e. 51%)
The MV is about the way reality can be faked and lies spread. Lyrics look made up because they dont translate well from korean. Koreans made entire videos to explain because each word has more than one meaning. The U he is wearing is a reference to the philosophy of Nietzsche on what makes a superior man. He auctioned colection items, limited edition shoes, art on his friend Pharrell Williams site Joopiter. He made milions and donate it to his foundation that helps people who got addicted to drugs
Can't wait for that album to drop! Come kick it with us on the Patreon! patreon.com/c/anthonytoo
He just released his official performance video pls react
Pls react his performance video he just posted it

GD could scream for 3 minutes straight, and I still would love it. 😂
LOL😂😂😂
Me too hahahahaha
Same
Did you know he waited 88 months after his last release? HAHAHAH
G Dragon literally just so talented and I'm really liking the song and music video it looks very fun and entertaining
Glad you're vibin Casper!
So happy he’s back doing music again. In a recent tv appearance GD said that in the last 7 years that he was away he came to understand the power of media… this song is a quiet diss to media, trolls knetz and haters

Man I’ve been so happy this month! His wordplay is always so smart. The translations do it no justice. I’m so happy seeing GD back
man I still remember your video reviewing his fits can't believe I'm watching your reaction to his actual comeback!
That was one of my favorite videos ever
It's a pre-release. The probable track list is in the music video, where there's a metro chart inside the tube set. Probably a 8 track album
per genius website, this is a single and will be included in his upcoming album temp called GD2024* (has 8 tracks in total) 😊 88 months of waiting and he is finally coming back, this year of the dragon. GD, KWON JIYONG, king GD is back with more soon 🔥🔥🐉💕

Yeah now that you mention it, I do remember that!
Its actually exact same month too last year october
i'm so glad he's back. this is so catchy and he looks so cute. 😭
"....in case u forgot..but u didn't cuz i still see me in all of you" ✨✨✨✨
The donating money part is about how he started a charity org after the scandal accusations to help people with drug abuse
(mir) & (narsha) are two 2nd gen kpop idols, mir is from mblaq & narsha is from brown eyed girls. not sure what they have to do with that specific part of the song lol but shout out to 2nd gen!
edit: just looked at some other translations and it seems like "mir" also means dragon in pure korean & "narsha" is in reference to the kdrama six flying dragons. i still think it's probably a double where he was also shouting out 2nd gen idols, since he had the "limited edition second generation" line before that.
That makes sense! What is pure Korean ?

yeah, that's what i assumed!
The metro map has the song list for his album!!
The lyrics of this song have so much meaning. Thanks for the reaction.

He's signed to galaxy corp I guess cos he's working with AI and just being artistic but he has YG to provide him all the helps he needs til now. Same Yg stylist and managers I guess. He's also worked with BABYMONSTER and is seen at YG studio w CL sooooo I guess we got a feat? 👀

He said “King is still poppin'”.
It means “This is the real K-POP”🥶🔥🔥
The beginning sounds reminded me of One of a Kind and made me sooo nostalgic😭😭😭 his sound is so distinct even after 7 yearsssss
Loooove your enthusiasm!

We need album gd asap , like dead ass
I wonder if the K-again line is a Kendrick reference bc it’s pronounced K-Dashi (in Korean)
Might be, but I also read it meant k- anything as in kpop king k-fashionista anything korean. Or maybe just 'Korean' He is very patriotic.
Please react fxxk it bigbang
I've been heard that track lol th-cam.com/video/7xMSbM4mwxY/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUSYW50aG9ueXRvbyBiaWdiYW5n
