I know, I forgot he trained for over a decade. That's insane. And then bigbang had multiple comebacks before they became famous, they were extremely poor...
@@shineeis5657 yea dude remember 5 of them in small apartment and didnt had any money to buy some food. But now look all of them became big names in Korea sad for Seungri cause he was going very successful but he involved himself in such mess.
He is a person who chase His dream. Am so happy I knew him. He went trough a lot from early age. He inspired me a lot. I was surprised to know a bout him.
Yup. They always thought that BTS is the best blah blah blah. BTS are kings. BTS created kpop. They don't even know that BTS idolizes GD and Bigbang. In my country they are all about BTS and Army's always starts fanwar. LOL
@@bondocjhonamaeb.5456 clearly we can see who is dragging BTS into this!! There was no need to drag BTS in a GD related video. But ofcourse you did...& Then complain about army!! 👏👏👏 I being an ARMY know very well the importance that GD has & the way BTS loves, respect & admire them. But There is no need to drag BTS into this thing, Gd is an amazing artist & so is BTS.
In basketball you have Michael Jordan In golf you have Tiger Woods In tennis you have Serena and Venus In Pop, you have Michael Jackson In Kpop you have GDragon.
He's the definition of self-made millionare. He started his trainee life in SM when he was only 7 years old when Lee Soo Man recruited him after seeing him win in a dance contest. After 5 years in SM, he then moved to YG and started to produce his own songs and even released a rap song when he was 13. He was a YG trainee for nearly 7 years. Him and taeyang couldn't eat proper meals because they were limited in the amount they could eat every day. He was also in a survival program that determined which members will become the 5 members of bigbang. There is a famous line from that show where YG asked gd if he wanted to go home after 6 years of practicing. After 6 years of hard work, he finally debuted. Bigbang's first album was not a hit so they had fan meetings literally on the street, and they had to wear shirts like I love YG because they didn't have any money. Then, in 2007, their songs lies was a MEGA HIT along with Wonder Girls Tell Me. Gd composed this song when he was only 19 and Lies still hasn't gone off the top 500 of Korean charts even though this song is 13 years old. Last Farewall, also released in 2007 was a huge hit. In 2007 MAMA bigbang got the song of the year for lies. In 2008, their album haru haru was also a mega hit. Sunset Glow was also a big hit and bigbang was one of the top idols in 2008. In 2008, they recieved artist of the year. In 2009, gd released his solo album. His solo album was a huge hit, and his debut stage in inkigayo's rating is the the number 1 highest rated korean music show rating in history. He was also the first korean artist to line up alll of his songs chart from in the top 10 chart. However, some anti-fans claimed that he plagirized Florida's song. After anti-fans accused him of plagirazing, this issue was even on the headlines and anti fans created petitions on websites for him to commit suicide and (i don't remember the exact numbers but i think there were like 60,000 people), some anti fans posted posters saying g-dragon ctrl v+ctrl z, he should die, and whatever. Some anti fans attacked g-dragon's mom for giving birth to him (wtf) and some ppl attacked his sister. It was so serious to the point florida actually had to speak up about it and he featured in g-dragon's song. After that incident and his marujiana incident (which he didn't do it on purpose) he's been getting a lot of hate and malicious comments along with a lot of love and support from his fans. And g-dragon never had a rest ever since his debut. In 2007 and 2008 as a group, 2009 as a soloist, 2010 as gd and top, 2011 as bigbang and infinite challenge music festival with park myung soo, 2012 as a soloist and as bigbang, 2013 as a soloist and infinite challenge music festival with jung hyeong don, 2014 as gd and taeyang, 2015 as bigbang(2 songs every month for four months with a world tour) and infinite challenge music festival with kwanghee, 2016 as bigbang, and 2017 as a soloist. He really deserves to be the king of kpop
too rich for us all lol, and this isn't even including the concert revenue from his solo concert in 2017. he literally made 1.8 mil just going to the army. i need him to donate to me :p
ikr in some way I feel so so sorry for him.. I mean at this point pretty much all of Korea knows him, which makes it almost impossible for him to find someone he can truly love. I'm sure there were lots of people who just wanted his money. All I want for him is to be happy and to find someone he loves😭
@@syafridjodi8512 yeah, he's got Dara as a very good friend. He has lots of good friends and he lets us know that. But what he also lets us know is, that he is lonely. His relationships apparently never worked out because people were after his fame and money. I just wish he could find someone who truly loves him and who he can marry. He said after all he really wants to marry and have children :/
Sweet Pea He could though, he could buy me for $700,000, with a little extra each year (little more than minimum wage) so I can buy food and health issuance. Lol. I wouldn't mind moving to Korea, buying a small apartment in a good area, and being his personal secretary or on-call maid or something. Then I would go home to my little apartment at the end of the day, have a couple dogs, buy takeout once in a while, save up for a vacation once a year. (Japan or China) It wouldn't be so bad.
Jiyong is rich and he deserves it, he has written and produced every song he has released, his fashion choices were the reason he became the ambassador, he directs his own live stages and performances, he even mentors the new generations to become succesful, whatever people say, this man is the most self-made kpop idol out there
At a certain point, not very high up, you can live entirely off of guaranteed investments. Unless you act stupid, and spend everything you earn (like a lot of Americans and American celebrities), you definitely won't "need" anymore. You can live a VERY comfortable life on investments, alone, if you even have a good job, and aren't a world-renowned celebrity. You just have to be smart, and sacrifice as you're acquiring wealth.
i don't know why they hate YG, coz all those YG artists who left and did not renew their contracts with YG still go to YG office and are still very much welcome there. Did we hear any of the YG artists who sued YG... NO!
@@charitosumayao1384 well said!! And also those who left YG in a good terms most of them have their own entertainment company.. like as you can se Psy..Seven..Epik High..and the sub-label like The black Label ..!! It shows that YG brings out the best artist comparing to others..!!
@@EstherLRokhum Thank you! I also agree with you... because YG respects the decision of their artists, just like when Minzy and Nam Tae decided to quit their groups because of health issues, YG respected that but, people tries to put the blame on YG. Even now that Black Pink doesn't have a comeback album, fans are campaigning for BP to leave YG. Do they even ask if BP wants to leave YG? Sorry for my rant, I know this has nothing to do with the video :) PEACE!
What confusing me is..he is idol but he's not idol..he is truly an artist,but he also a designer and rapper..but,he is idol rapper too and he's the most big influence in almost every aspect too. He might shape k-pop But (again) he might shape k-hiphop too. You see almost every artists of k-hiphop like respect him as all of that title,k-hiphop artists respect him as a rapper,composer,or even producer too.. and respect him as big rival too..no wonder a lot people hating him too..i mean..he has almost everything
He's far richer than what this video was able to cover. The series of concerts in Japan and all over asia back in 2012-2015 must have earned him quite a fortune. Add to that his solo album, tours, concerts and so on. Simply put, his very existence alone is marketable. lol
He's worked his a$$ off and deserves everything he has. It's amazing how he stays so down to earth given his popularity and always bows to his hoobaes.
Are you new? Lemme say to you and trust me whatever others do or how the other fandoms discredited ,hated him (for whatever reasons) as always, GD can life for 10+ years without actively working or just by breathing only from his songs royalties alone
@@ebowlawiid2497 Lmao which part of a Lambo, RollsRoyce and 600K watch doesn't represents flashy to you? he's young he should be flashy that's very normal for his age. If he continues this way with his music and successful investments he will eventually be one of the most successful artists if not the most successful artist in Korea.
I find it so interesting that none of these videos take his passion for investing in art into consideration while talking about his wealth. The paintings that he owns (and has shared with us on his IG) are probably worth between 7-10 Mio. USD. That's quite a lot.
The great thing about this is he actually doesn't know exactly how much he has in his bank accounts since he still lets his mom handle all the finances :)
@@thanhvinhnguyento7069 dude's been working the same steady jobs for 20 years, has a net worth of $40million, carried his fam up with him the whole way, donates to charities at the drop of a dime, delayed a *doctoral* degree to complete military service .. And because he has (& likely pays) the person he likely most trusts in this world handle his finances over hiring some random person, you think he doesn't take responsibility for humself (& everyone else around him, no less)? Just wow. Reality check.
JP jay they don’t need to rape anyone... Girls would run to them just want to be fucked by them... Sorry for my words but it’s true... It’s just the reality
At a very young age he has achieved a lot. He’s one of the richest BACHELORS today. A lot of people look up to him. He’s a Genius. He’s an ICON. He’s a LEGEND
What's cool is that wealth is one of the last things I think of when I think about GD. He has such a big personality (that's putting it lightly) that his money is like, one of his most boring aspects. This was an interesting vid though! I'm just saying it's amazing how he's captivated people to the point where we really only see how awesome he is. Everything else comes second 💓👑
The most incredible thing is that G-DRAGON is extremely rich yet with his latest pics out there today, all I can see is Kwon Jiyong, who's living his life as 32 years old korean, and HE FREAKING NEEDS IT AFTER A ROLLERCOASTER CAREER!!!
I don't care how much money he has. The most important is his talent. I love this guy, I've liked him for years, nice voyce. If he is rich or not doesn't matters.
When the first time I saw DG online from a Video clip in Nov.,2020,in fact, I never knew who he is.I ignored him for twice. But since the 3rd time I saw him online,I found his hat was so impressive to me with a song called Last Dance.I don’t know he has so many money until now,I really envy this,hahaha.
Well, let's not forget his own art collection like he have a lot on his house, just like T.O.P but wait-- can you do this kind of video for T.O.P of BIGBANG???
And his fans are rich too💰🔥(mostly CVIPs) not me, coz I'm broke af😂 Imagine getting you to pick which color you like on two Lamborghinis and having a star named after you😭
GD is a true artist...from writing and creating his own music, sound, choreography, videos to his performances that just captures his audience who only crave for more.On top of that he creates and designs his own clothing, shoes, accessories, buildings etc. He worked hard for his money and he will continue to get richer doing whatever he loves to do. I hope he leaves YG and creates his own company. Thank you Korea Scouter for highlighting him. your english is great and may I say it is just cost, there is no costed. english language makes no sense sometimes.
That's my super star he deserves all these and more, he is so talented am yet to see anyone that can surpass him. Forever king of k-pop, Gdragon is a fu**ing king
After-all GD deserved all the wealth he have now because he earned it by himself not from his parent. And i still remember bigbang members tell in variety show how poor they are during trainee days but looked at them now (All their hard work were paid off) 👑. Btw, for next video please do “how rich Iu is”. Thank you 😊
Many of them discovered now it's because of their military service, their last group activity was in 2016 after that TOP went for military in 2017 and followed by other members in 2017. So it's pretty obvious that many people don't know Big Bang and G Dragon.
Lemme tell y'all, a new person that just entered the kpop games. He is a part of a Boy Group named BigBang. He is the leader, the main rapper, the songwriter, the producer, the center, the face of the group. He has great ability on rapping, dancing, singing and has great charisma that could slay a big stage by himself. He's not gaining fans by his visual even his visual can be counted as the hottest man alive, but he simply gaining fans because his ability as an artist, a truly artist. He made his own color as an artist. He doesn't need his fans to buying thousand or million album of him, because his album is a piece of art that should be enjoyed for a long time not to be put in a shelf and be forgotten. His songs would never grow old. He doesn't follow the trend, he makes the trend. His fans probably are at the age of late 20s to infinity. Must admit young generation now prefer someone who could do fake aegyo, lip sync, and do popular music trends. But lemme ask you could you imagine your bias do his own solo career and held a concert and slay the stage for years after debut, after completing the military, involved in many scandals but still receive so many loves, and still gaining international interests and ofc richer and more popular than the latest group. My GD compares to your idol? Uh can't relate! He is an artist, don't compare him to a regular idol. He doesn't need to put extra effort or showing off his fashion, because he himself is a fashion. Don't debate me and saying your idol is fashion icon, but still look so ordinary and just pull off the branded clothing but still looks plain. Your idol just follow the fashion trends to, but my GD he creates the fashion. Do even the international designers want to work with your idol? Don't be mistaken, if your idol being an ambassador is simply because the PR works. If they really want to work with your idol, they simply wanted them to collaborate in such a big project. And invited you not only to sit on the front seat but to the backstage or even the preproduction too. Uhmmm, my GD oppa is beyond your expectation. He is the KING!!! never wrote a long comment like this before. I must be a very proud VIP. Jiyong oppa, I need more of your piece of arts!!! Kpop is just so plain lately!!! Kpop needs you!!!
I still remember how he casually chopped most of LV stuffs at KLCC Malaysia like 8 years ago. Whoever he ended up with must be lucky af cause money is something you don’t need to think about anymore
"How rich is G-Dragon?" Me: He's filthy rich that he doesn't even need to check his bank account for the next how many years and still have more than enough money even when he does nothing the whole year.
