Thank you for watching Kwon Ji Yong (권지용) Act III: Motte - Official Documentary. GD will always be the goat in Kpop and life! #gd #actiii #motte #bigbang #gdragon #kpop #mv #reactions #documentary
Initially, the title track for his ‘Kwon Ji Yong’ EP was ‘Bullshit’ but he changed it to ‘Untitled, 2014’ due to TOP’s situation. In 2017, a news broke about TOP trying to unalive himself by taking a lot of pills for his anxiety. That’s why he’s not there. The members went through a lot bcos of the news especially GD. He lost a lot of weight bcos of the stress and fatigue. You can see that everyone really trying their best to live up the mood. This documentary definitely a hard watch for me. I’m glad that both GD and TOP are doing fine now doing their own things that makes them happy ❤❤
I am glad they both are well and here still. They were fighting some of the most difficult battles and continued to win. Top was really going through it at the same time... i was wondering why it was difficult to contact the bros but it seems like it was a time everybody was dealing with something. I can't believe he finished the tour...
You may notice he's so sad at the Seoul concert. Top was at the hospital at that time. He was accused of taking marijuana back in 2016 which made him so anxious that he took a lot of pills for his anxiety he almost died. GD was really close with Top. He must be really sad and worried. Everybody came to support him YG came with his children to cheer him up. Blackpink came to make him smile. Taeyang just visited Top and asked if GD received Top's message. He said he did but didn't answer. He might be mad at Top for doing that to himself. Although Top is the oldest in Big Bang, he was treated like a baby by all other members because he's very sensitive and GD spoiled him. GD and Taeyang are best friends but GD and Top had a special bond. Actually they are like family, all of them are so good to one another.
Dang... it makes more sense why he didnt return the message. Probably was upset TOP tried to let go but also wishing he could be there for his brother. I was excited to see people show up to be there for him. It really seemed like he was alone the entire tour. Yeah you felt it wasnt even just the loneliness but everything that was going on with the people around him. It may have affected him being able to sleep as well
I, as a VIP, wholeheartedly thank reactors like you who truly respect, admire, and love BB. Act III: M.O.T.T.E, both the documentary and the concert, are the only ones I won't be able to watch alone anymore!
I understand. These are definitely tough to watch alone. Grateful for his vulnerability and impact he had on people throughout this. Lets check in on our people to make sure they are okay ((:
It was sad .. But he is doing great now. I hope we feel his condition right. He is healthy, he constantly going to gym, gained weight when he was in army, but after he extremely lost weight, now thanks God, he gained again and looking good. I feel like he is more mentally stronger than he was. There was a lot of hard times in BB life and I hope they will be happy and healthy forever. My main desire for them 💛
I am glad he took the time to put himself first. Before music and art was always first but it got to the point where he needed to but it behind him. I am sure he is still writing and being artistic. Most artist says tours are one of the roughest times no matter how much they like it and the effort GD always puts in he definitely needed a break
ACT III MOTTE is my fav show of all time. Motte is stand for moment of the true end and also word plays for moate, meaning mother's womb (or) from birth. He arranged the song list as how is his life becoming (from early state up to his current situation). the show is divided by three act(Act I - G Dragon, Act II - G Dragon vs Kwon Ji Yong and Act III - Kwon Ji Young). not just the songs are art but also the concert itself is. and ofc not to mention, it's the largest concert tour ever by korean solo artist. he's no doubt one of the biggest stars of our generation. I recommend to watch the whole show if you have time!!
I didnt even know what motte stood for and the different acts of the tour. He is absolutely nuts and a genius in the way he arranges things. So intentional with every effort. If i can have a dinner with him or 1,000,000 dollars i will take the dinner and learn from him
You asked how he is today: I have some bad news and good news… Last dec 2023, the police of SK “leaked” how he is being investigated for drugs.,, he wasnt contacted ahead plus its ILLEGAL in korea to reveal that due to privacy laws (even rapist can hide their identities in that country) Without receiving a summon (coz its obvious how he is being used to cover up or hype up an issues) GD announced that he will voluntarily go to the police station to present himself (He sold out the bmw he used to go there… his entire outfit including the glasses that he is not paid to promote much to the appreciation of the companies ) he volunteered all the hair they wanted… the urine… the blood whatever they needed gd gave… They wanted his phone too… Gd tested NEGATIVE … did they let them go!’ NO… tried to drag him again But GD is now DIFFERENT he be fighting back He spoke up Coz he wont let that hurt his fans again He even reposted the guardians of daisy campaign which aim to show our support even his closest friends did He got a good lawyer AND LEFT YG… Hes now free of allegations He started a charity aimed at helping those battling the drgs His first donation he placed under the name of VIPS HES NOW WITH GALAXY CORP A very supportive and grateful agency All goes well he will be on tour included with be the sphere and he will present a michael and friends type of concert Nike just announced a new shoe with him Yes he hasnt made. Solo comeback in 6 years?! But still nike collabs with him Thats the power of G DRAGON that is the strength of KWON JI YONG THIS IS A LONG REPLY BUT I JUST WANNA PUT IT HERE
A Nike collab is crazy!!! Only a few can collab with Nike. Thank you for the good news and bad news. I wonder why the cops are against him? doesnt make sense as their job is to protect the people but they are purposely targeting him.
@@kjreacts7715 prep ur wallet coz we will be fighting with the sneakerheads for his shoes… look up who wears gd shoes… ull be surprised… even mbappe wears his shows… U should react to a video gd : celebrity of celebrities
11:57 Yo, speaking of Justin Bieber and me As a Belieber. GD and Justin are close friends I think the first time they met was 2012/2013? And GD also became a guest from Justin's Concert in South Korea. IDK if they still talkin now but they are close friends
@@kjreacts7715 A couple years ago Hypebeast made a video about collections in GD's house, but it's based on what he posted on social media. The video is called "What’s Inside G-Dragon’s New Multi-Million Dollar Home | TAGGED"
This is inspiring and sad. I worked with some celebrities and their lives are lonely and sad. Don't know who to trust - cause even family gets shady, sometimes... And, yes - I cried when I saw how underweight he was and when he kept saying how lonely he was. Knowing that no one in this world can cure that - only psychiatry... And, he's "fine" now and no longer with YG. He's with Galaxy they helped him with that legal snafu last year and has new music coming soon - T.O.P, is on his way into orbit and has a vineyard and wine label, Tae has new music out and Dae is doing tv entertainment shows and Sun is living in the Philippines.
The Japan tour we saw was held from 2014 to 2015. BIGBANG Japan tour after Motte tour was held in 2017. Also they did a lot of fanmeetings, really big, like concerts. Yhey are funny.
@@kjreacts7715 Actually, time after military was the only one they rest properly since debut. If there was no group activities they were doing solo/subunits. Also the reason that GD was struggling during the tour cuz he is perfectionist. He thinks about everything. Of course situation with Top was one of the reasons too. Each member of BB is more happier when they're doing group activities, they didn't feel so lonely. Especially Seungri. He has a lot of positive energy even after the hell he got through, but when he was doing solo he missed BB. And they all were in military.
I don't need to say more as VIPs already commented what I wanted to say too! Just glad you watch this documentary, know his struggles, loneliness. That time were among the saddest time for BB & VIPs, but despites all the obstacles, BB & VIPs remains strong! Hope we can see them performs together once again!
Thanks for the reaction to his latest Tour documentary. The first show in Seoul was tremendous for him. TOP came out of his coma due to an attempt at su1c1d1o and Taeyang asks him if he read the messages he sent him apologizing. GD was going through a huge depression plus the stress of his last concert before entering the army. In presentations in Europe (with red hair) he seems more smiling and happy. It is very interesting to see the differences over the months.
You could gradually see him smile and open up a little. From not coming out of his hotel to making jokes and being himself a bit more. I am sure wondering if TOP would make it was affecting him alot. On top of that dealing with his own struggles but wishing he could be there for his brother at an important time in his life
Seungri is terrible criminal. He destroyed bigbang. The other members were traumatized by it and couldn’t perform music for a long time. Seungri is no longer bigbang. He can’t be forgiven. gd is truly brilliant artist. Just focus on that.
@@songbysong6645 first of all, it's my own business who to focus on. You can think whatever you want about Seungri , but at least read his court's reports. Not only that shi*ty films. I will tell one obvious lie that is in bbs film. Journalist Kang came across JJY chats in 2016. Burning Sun opened in 2018. But she said that they filmed videos in VIP rooms. Such a liar. SBS and journalist Kang edited chats as they want several times. Do you think they were responsible for slandering Seungri? Did they get any punishment? No! Seungri has nothing to do with chats and club. His case is different. Seungri had no victim in his case. And never was a part of molka chat. As I said you can think whatever you want. But you can't forbid anyone to talk about him and listen to his music.
At this point several idols have s worded… Most docus are upbeat and shows the success of the tour… motte talks about the how the biggest idol in kpop well loved and surrounded by good people still feels alone and struggles, hes telling everyone depression is real and can happen to anyone… who would dare show himself going to a doctor getting an mri?!?! Just GD..
How crazy is that. I wonder where they loneliness was coming from if the support and love was their from idols, family, and friends... yeah that right that was emotional
@@kjreacts7715 gd has been working since 7 years old hes very hard on himself on the work he puts out… the world is very critical of him… his life is the literal truman show… exes have used him for fame…
I think this was the time I was so stressed as VIP, being sooo worried about TOP, and how it will affect GD's coneback. YG haters and media are out in force attacking BIGBANG, especially TOP even ig he's in a coma fighting for his life. They went as far as as speculate that TOP did it to escape prosecution. This wasn't TOP's first attempt sadly. While tragic, I was so relieved he pulled through and GD's comeback was super successful. They've been througb a looot since the start of their career. BIGBANG is like a phoenix. This is why they're iconic in K-Pop and music industry on the whole. Their influence is tremendous. P.S. you shouldn't miss out on Divina Commedia. This is the outro of Kwon Ji Young album. Ji reflects about his rise to fame , people's expectations, emptiness and more serious stuff as an Jiyong and alter ego Gdragon. Thank you so much for all your effort to dive deep into BIGBANG. We're happy to you appreciate and enjoy learning about them. 😊
Whenever I watch or even think about this documentary, especially that last scene at 1:37:13, I just think damn... we're low-key lucky GD is still here with us. I hope things never get that dark for him again.
I am not going to lie we are lucky and it shows how strong he truly is to go through everything and continue to be here. Not only that but this documentary opens your eyes more on checking in on those around you. There are so many people fighting battles we may not know about...
Why is he so lonely? In my opinion, I think part of it has to do with being on tour by himself (and not with the rest of his members). You saw the MADE documentary where all the members were all on tour together and it was a lot more lively and fun. Now, he's basically going to all those same places, but by himself. Sure, many of the clips show him with the staff and other people, but you can still feel lonely even in the midst of people. The doc also does not capture just how much time is spent alone in hotel rooms (when cameras are not running). For example those 3 days when no one checked in on him. Also, GD has mentioned in the past that he feels lonely after concerts. That feeling after coming off a concert high and then going back to an empty hotel room, eating by himself and passing the time until the next concert - there's a sense of emptiness and loneliness that is felt.
just reading that made me understand the loneliness he feels. Someone also mentioned its also people not really understanding him. Trying to connect with people but no one is on the same page
GD for a long time has presented moments were its obvious that he has been depressed and this has been for a long time now. One notable time was when their ceo even told him to take a break, he was in his early 20s he just had his first solo debut. Enough Koreans made a petion for him to unalive and submitted it to the blue house spreading posters all over soul TOP overdosed on sleeping pills after being accused of marijuana use while serving in mandatory military service. He was in the hospital for a while. Many belive this was why GD changed his title track and mv to another song last minute.
Probably was the reason to change it to untitled. Which is one of the most vulnerable songs by him. To be battling depression while your brother is not wanting to live is one of the toughest things to deal with. I am proud he managed to finish the tour and take the break that was needed
I feel like most VIPs never really got that delusional idea that BIGBANG were dating their staff and even if they were, we also knew that it wasn't our business who they dated. We handled their dating news over the years really maturely and always congratulated them. Even when Taeyang got married, we celebrated across the fandom. We even call his lovely wife our VIP sister and refer to his son with a cute nickname. BIGBANG's family are precious to us, as well. It's hard for me to watch this documentary because of what happened to TOP around that time... To this day, it still breaks my heart to remember the morning when that headline came out and I became frantic. I can't imagine how the guys felt back then, but seeing GD performing during that time you could really tell he was doing his best to hold himself together for everyone's sake. In terms of his loneliness... I relate. Even when I'm surrounded by a lot of people, I somehow still feel so empty and alone. I can force myself to interact and put on a smile, but if I let myself tune out then I end up staring at the wall and making everyone in my vision disappear. Like GD, I end up staying at home when I'm not working and don't come out for days on end. While I like being at home and alone, it also does tend to eat away at you eventually. There's no actual reason for that loneliness, I think. Perhaps it is just holes in our hearts that are hard to fill back up and they end up leaking everything that tries to fill it.
Not sure about the smiley face tatoo, but I read that the words "inhale" "exhale" - one on each thigh - were to remind him to breath when he got stressed or during difficult times. May just be rumour! I think maybe his line in Loser explains a bit about his feeling lonely. Can't remember exactly but like "I've never felt like I fitted in with the world" With his unusual upbringing and uniqie experiences and his personal creative drives, I think it would be hard to find someone that really gets you. I think maybe Taeyang comes close.
This documentary in particular i cannot watch alone. Its miserable. "There is beauty in misery" Thats what i think of whenever i watch this. Art is a passion and a burden but it is so damn beautiful. What i love about Jiyong is he is very passionate about music but he is also burdened by it. Expectations of others and his own. Thats why we wait as patiently as humanely possible. We dont want to stress him out but we also dont want him to think we left. But damn. Its been 7 years jiyong😂 it better be this year
It better be this year with respect to what he has going on lol. His art is a passion and a burden and he does his best to balance the two. It is a very sad documentary but also inspiring for the fact that no matter what he went through he continued to give his best. Not every time was it 100% but you couldnt say that it wasnt his best. His vision for this tour came true. He wanted to be about him unapologetically.
Gd was going through a huge depression, anxiety and had a severe eating disorder. There were multiple pics where you could literally see the outline of his bones on stage :( notice how his doctor advised him to not lose anymore weight and gain instead but he didn’t listen. 59:05 and here he was having a anxiety attack. Thank God he’s healthier now cause those severe type of disorders have long lasting effects
This tour was in 2017 and the members of BigBang had been working nonstop since 2012. Just since 2015 they released the MADE album went on the MADE world tour until 2016 took 3 months to plan and start the 0.To.10 Japan tour which ended in early 2017. Taeyang, Daesung and GD released albums in 2017 and went on solo tours while TOP had to do his military service and ended the year with the Last Dance tour then went into the military. Also as a chronically misunderstood person I understand when GD says he's lonely. There's alone on a deserted island lonely and there's no one understands me lonely. You try to connect with people but it's like you're speaking a language from Mars. The more you talk the more you realize that they don't know what you're talking about and you just want someone that you speak the same language with. It's like there's a bunch of animals in a room but non of them are the same species and you just feel alone even though there's so many beings around you. The only time you feel like you can be yourself is when you're alone. At least you don't have to put on this mask to fit in with other people. You can finally be free to be you.
The way you put that was very intentional. Thank you for helping me understand. I can see the difference in loneliness that he feels. Not being understood is challenging at the same time there just arent many people like GD.
@zeromega4541 Are you gifted too? Your description is exactly how many gifted people feel, because the emotional overload is off the charts. We feel everything more than others and because of that we feel lost and alone. It hurts! I suspect Jiyong is too! Anxiety and depression are constant in the lives of gifted people. How lucky! #irony
thanks for watching that sad but so real story, dear. this film is about a real Kwon JI Yong and he wanted to show himself, opened his soul, This is not G Dragon, but Ji Yong shy and sensitive person. Im so blessed to see him like that at his last Motte concert...
Thank you for watching it with me. I hope it gave you a new perspective on GD that you might of not had before. Very emotional but so beautiful at the sametime
35:42 It may be truth or just a rumor, but a lot of people seemingly agree that he got that tattoo after TOP's little incident during the filming of 'The Commitment' (on Netflix, but I'm not sure if it's still there due to TOP coming back as an actor in the second season of Squid Game, December release) where the area between his index and thumb on the front of his hand got cut by a glass shard doing a stunt scene. It's a really cute tattoo and judging by the amount of times he has shown it off (he rarely shows off any other tattoos he has, aside from 'vita dolce moderato', the ones on his thighs, and his Keith Haring one that is now covered unfortunately it looks very nice) the tattoo is probably sentimental and perhaps a callback to TOP. GD makes a lot of references to him since his departure from the group like pictures of the moon as a reference to TOP's inclusion in the Dearmoon Project (NASA, it got cancelled tho), Squid Game stickers to reference TOP's incoming comeback to the film world, and other things. They share artworks, wear matching bracelets, and more. Safe to say, GD does his best to include his friends and make them feel welcomed and in turn they do the same for him (TOP is a wild card, he support GD yes but whenever he chooses to do it via online and media platforms he makes it funny as hell). GD and TOP have a special type of bond that is different from GD and Taeyang, his best friend for 2 decades and counting lol. sorry for the yapping but I believe that a lot more people should know this and acknowledge GD&TOP as a duo and as two people who have been there for each other even through their darkest paths.
I think is was sad but also beautiful to let us in on this part of him. One thing GD does is show us every aspect of his life. So it's good we dont always see the highlights.
It was not a Special Olympics hat 😂. Thanks for the laugh though. This documentary always shatters my heart. It was a tough time to put it lightly. We're a resilient bunch...gotta be.
I was like dang they even got him at the special Olympics performing! This man is wholesome lol but it is tough and i hope we continue to see the light in the documentary as well.

It was BIGBANG's first world tour and it was SO successful to the point that they added several shows even in the US. I only wrote this because you get confused with the timeline of their tours. They've been to Japan many times, but the tour YOU saw was 2014 and GD's MOTTE was 2017.
Earlier this year, a news broke that GD was involved in a weed scandal. Due to his previous weed use 10 years ago, lots of people actually believe the news. People were so sure that he definitely did it. There were over 200K news about that in the first day. However after two months of investigation he tested negative and there were barely any news clearing the issue. A Korean fan made this video "The unreal life of G-Dragon, and human Kwon Ji-Yong", very touching video and basically went through every obstacle and issue GD had in his life.
If he did or didnt why do people worry so much... It is crazy that people want to destroy this man for everything he does even after knowing the things he deals with
@@kjreacts7715 The media almost ruined him. The another actor who was in this drug scandal (tested negative in the end) first and a cheating scandal ended his life in the end.
He is one of mine as well! I wanted to stop doing youtube a little bit ago but watching his drive and hardwork told me what im feeling is valid but to never let that stop me
I'll be honest with you, this is my first time watching MOTTE docu until the end. I've only watched it halfway when it's newly released because it breaks my heart seeing GD like that and the situation with what's happening with BB. I'm able to finish watching it thanks to you. I'm glad all BIGBANG members are doing better/ in better situation compared to before. Us fans (me included) def want them to release something after years of hiatus, but seeing it from another perspective, I'm glad this long hiatus means GD and BB members could finally get some rest and enjoy their life after all they've been through. The comeback may come sooner or later but I just hope they are able to make comeback when they're in great condition : physically and mentally because that's what matter the most.
This really gives you a different perspective. I know that many people struggle with watching this doc and i understand. I think there is so much value in it as well. So much light and vulnerability and i think GD wouldnt have showed this side of him if it was only going to be viewed in the negative light. I am glad you finally watched it in full and I hope it brings inspiration to you in your life
I was waiting for you to react to MOTTE right after watching your reaction to MADE THE MOVIE so thank you. And I love that in the comments my fellow VIPs update you on the situation BB was in at the time. I really think even this documentary proves the humanity an artist can have and how passionate they can be when you work on something you really love, as an artist G-Dragon is incomparable but I think his personal journey in this documentary was what touched me the most the first time I saw it. FYI: Taeyang also has two documentaries. The first one is WHITE NIGHT and has 8 episodes, the second and more recent one is Down To earth and has 3 episodes. You also have the BIGBANG 0to10 Final Documentary 2017, all available on youtube and I hope you can watch them.
These documentaries be fire. They are super humane and raw but they are so long. If i mess up i got to redo the whole reaction haha but i will watch them for sure
Hahah yall be ready for the next so quick lol! But there is a white night documentary? where can i find it? if he got his shirt off im stopping the reaction lol
Thank you for reacting to this, and all the Big bang content that you have been doing. We Vips love them dearly. If you have the time, and can find it, you should check out The beginning documentary, It will show you why we love them all so much 💛
@@kjreacts7715 Official news stated - Representative of GD’s current company ‘Galaxy Corp’ confirmed GD will comeback on 2nd half of this year. Unofficial news from korean reporters that leaked some infos 2 days ago provided details GD will released a pre-released track in October and full album in November. (This unofficial news have not been confirmed or yet be refuted by Galaxy Corp themselves) This leaked info actually trended on korean site. However,As far as confirmed comeback news goes, ‘2nd half of this year’ is what considered official,which im still excited!
I feel you bro. a lot of times i can feel the similarity between kanye and gd. well both are different but geniuses in their own ways. Very dark but perfectionist in their own crafts. its hard to explain really
I felt sad but inspired watching this. I mean he was going through so much and i am sure more than what he shown but he didnt give up. He led with love and joy the best he could and he is still here. I hope more artist can be as vulnerable as GD
i think u always taking the wrong way with bigbang relationship with YG boss in this documentary and the bigbang one. their relationship at that time are fine. u can see from the way that gd joking with the boss. at least at the time of the documentary. I dont know about now cz... you know... I'm not them :D
@@kjreacts7715 dancing and acting - he appeared in commercials and a historical drama when he was little. Here is GD's first solo MV when he was like 13 if you're interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kDGy50mjxj0.htmlsi=UYXSTFoBEPoS532a
You can be surrounded by people but still be lonely 🥺 Btw he was in Australia not England when you were talking about people in England not knowing who he was.
I knew it was one of those places lol geography class i may have failed lol. Thank you. You can feel lonely surrounded by people. Why do you think that is?
