I saw a great explanation of this song and want to share: 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 on 2:03, 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, honor, 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 recognized 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 rumor 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 criticize 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 criticized 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.
@@jiminsjams4384 Omg you’re so incredible! Thank you for watching 🫶🏻 and thank you sooo much for taking time and kindly explaining all this information about G Dragon and his personality. That’s really so so nice and very helpful 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Think it is maybe an intentional word play on power :) seems like there are references to some of his past mv's. Ending is based on Truman Show. Song seems to diss media and social media that mis-use their power in a negative way. He is saying, i think, that he is not going to be boxed in by that and he is going to love himself and just get on with his life and that people have the power of choice. He has his track record and is gonna believe in himself. The Dance Performance video and Dance Practice video are both really good. Would like to see your reaction to them too, as I liked this one. Tks.
@@Mary-i5c1m Thank you so much for explanations 🤗 It’s really interesting how the song and MV can hide so many references and wordplays. I’ll watch more of his videos obviously, so thank you for suggesting and thank you for watching 🫶🏻
He's a legend in kpop and changed the course of kpop & rap completely. Every popular korean celebrity is either a fan, influenced by him or both. Everything he wears sells out any new style he introduces shows up in other artists videos in their next releases. He also has collabed with Nike a few times and his sneakers always sell out.
Gdragon is also known for his wordplay, always seamlessly transitioning from korean to english and his lines always have multiple meanings. The way he pronounced ‘Power’ can also be heard as ‘pabo’ I think this is conforming to his intention to give a shoutout to the media who made ridiculous accusations
definitely not enough kool choreographed dance awesomeness with occasional music thrown in there, yeah i can see how thats a problem in current "kpop music". wont even speak on current absolute trash "popular" american "music". Embarrassing. One of the undercurrents of this entire video was mocking what the current purported "trends" were:) Dude is already a GOAT legend and zero interest in conforming, I'm down with that. Somehow got some new whiplash video put in my feed and ooof it was terrrible, stuning visuals, not a lot of clothes and about 5% music, naah, you can miss me with that nonsense I'm a grown up.
@SunDie385 저는 빅뱅 처음나왔을때 부터, 10년도 넘게 지드래곤의 팬입니다. 그는 정말 아름다우면서도 시대를 압서가는 음악을 만들어왔어요. 하지만, 군대는 꿈을 줄이고, 현실을 증가시기는 공간입니다. 지드래곤이 다시 자유롭게 꿈을 꾸면서 좋은 음악을 해보길 기대해봅니다.
@@skysouth587having spent a good long while in the military, there is truth to what you say, I also hope GD and BB continue to dream, create and perform big unusual and amazing things.
He is more than King, he is the Emperor. But common fella VIP we don't need to bring other groups or be little them. It's a fact GD is undisputed King, no need for debate either. Lets set better examples by not disrespecting other groups for no reason.
@@LambertoDeGuzman-h5l Popularity doesn't make you King and also GD is more popular in Korea (even now) than BTS he would have been even more popular if Bigbang was active during internet bloom.
Gd 그룹 빅뱅의 리더이며. 대다수의 그룹과 본인 노랠 작사.작곡함.
문화.시대의 아이콘. 음악.패션에서 영향력이 독보적.

지금의 케이팝이 있기까지 지대한 영향력이 상당했으며. 가장 완벽한 육각형아티스트라 불림

GD is back!!! Power!
KINGGGG!!!!🔥🔥🔥
King 👑

The way he pronounced ‘Power’ can also be heard as ‘pabo’ I think this is conforming to his intention to give a shoutout to the media who made ridiculous accusations
Power up & idiots (pabo in Korean) have same pronunciation
So his wordplay is so flawless
💛💛💛💛💛
Marie, November 15th we have ATEEZ comeback. Hope you react to their MV and Whole Album it comes crazy. By The Way GD is the King of Kpop
u must watch bigbang first❤❤
