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".
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.
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 TH-camrs, 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 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. 🤔
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! ❤
i love your reactions so much, can you please react to these musics of KISS OF LIFE: Igloo - in GENIE MUSIC (Take#B|4K) Maestro of My Heart - Color Coded Lyrics Midas Touch - MV Sixth Sense - Performance
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.❤❤
