*GD actually debuted in Little Roo'ra in 1995* Just in time to save Kpop in 2019, which has been honestly a horrible year. But let me know if you think GD will comeback soon or take a break? Buy merch here: teespring.com/stores/internetsnathan
InternetsNathan (Never been so early lol) Your video is great so thanks! I’m pretty sure he’ll take a break. I mean 2019 is almost over and he probably wants to spend some time relaxing before jumping back into music. Kpop is high stress and constant training and he’s spent YEARS doing it. I’m mean if I were him, I’d take a short break before heading into music again.
This is the best video so far i loved from you! Im saving this and watch over and over again! Thank you so much for making this video! Im a late bloomer Kpop fan, thanks to GD and BigBang! I hope to see him comeback and do collabs with other artists! ❤️❤️❤️
As much as I've missed him, I kind of hope he takes a break. He probably needs one, like you said he basically never has taken a break and emotions are exhausting, I just want him to be happy no matter what. But knowing him, he probably knows that this is gonna be the comeback of the century and is already planning it, and I can't wait to see what he does.
"If you don't know Michael Jackson, you don't know pop. If you don't know G-Dragon, you don't know K-pop" Someone said this and it can't be more accurate!
Eun Woo lmao you completely missed the point, we are saying its even more impressive that he made it where he was not being from a rich family. Ma dude you need to chillout.
Younger generations don't fully understand just how much of a legend GD is. I heard about GD and BigBang 11 years ago, in a time when I didn't even know what kpop was. I was absolutely in love with his solo work and still am. Saying that he has changed the kpop industry as a whole is no understatement, this man's talent and charisma still has no match. This is coming from an ARMY btw.
Fellow v.i.p!!!! Since 2006 😊 saw his lil collab with taeyang when they were small too and i always been a fan. Their music just vibes. Its so amazing seeing people know about kpop when during our time it was unheard of. I remember my friends in middle school, 2005 ish, id show them kpop and they would laugh at it. My lil sis was born that year. Now shes 14 and her friends and most classmates like Korean music so its such a contrast. They love the newer groups of course. But still its nice seeing how far its come.
I first saw G Dragon when I was 12 in Skrillex’s dirty vibe (same with CL who I absolutely love) and him and Big Bang really paved the way. Although I feel like BTS has definitely paved the way for newer generations but Big Bang was the first similar to Wonder Girls and Girls Generation for girl groups
Dissing a show you are performing on and still receiving awards thereafter, now that's what a GD and a real king of KPOP can do. No fear just real talent.
@@muhamadnafis1517..its like you saying gd is the ome who has scandal.. Plus its like also blackpink or yg idols dont have the right to perform in mama coz yg has scandals.... How?!!
@@ChrisBrengel and ya he was the one who invented that little finger hear or what to call I don't know, you know what I mean right ? Especially Jin and all used to do that with their finger
@@sengjvipforever.744 yes. He already did that finger heart when he was just a kid( still a part of Roora). And I think he's the pioneer of that colored hair that changes from time to time and different hairstyles, as well as that unisex airport fashion that newer groups usually do nowadays...
@@sengjvipforever.744 He didn't invent the finger heart. Please don't say such things without confirming, it will bring hate to him. Japanese artists used to do it even before BIGBANG or GD's debut.
Kpop (especially 2nd gen in my opinion) is so good that we always regret not staning sooner 😂 I listened to kpop for the first time in 2009, but only became an actual stan in 2012 and I totally regret that .-.
5 months after this was posted Gd actually did proved that he is a legend; 1. Collaboration with Nike 2. Coachella performer 3. First Korean Artist to appear in Chinese Ad after ban
GDragon and Big Bang are the reason that so many of the younger groups have the level of success internationally that is currently trending. You can hear groups like BTS even talk about how much influence Big Bang has had on them. They made and broke the mold for KPOP in the Western World. As an American, I had never even heard of KPOP until hearing of Big Bang and watching their success. And I am so glad they were my first real introduction into KPOP because if I had heard some of the other groups first, I would not be as big of a supporter. They stood out from all of the other artists because they wrote and produced their own music. They weren't just flashy dancers like some of the newer groups. Their live performances are second to none, I have never seen a more dynamic stage presence than these guys deliver. And JiYong's writing abilities......let's face it.......he can write rap, hip hop, R&B, ballads, pop and rock. I hope Big Bang comes back, even if they have to do it with only four members. There would be a huge hole in the KPOP scene without these legendary OG's. 💖🎤💖
@justathankfulARMY A lot of Army' mention BTS in the most random of times. I also feel since a lot of them are new to the Kpop world, they kinda disregard a lot of the older groups. But what OP said is a fact. BTS was influenced by Big Bang, a lot of the members are known as being fans of BB. I think it's important to recognize that groups like Big Bang really helped open the door for BTS worldwide. When Big Bang was starting off, the kpop scene was a different battlefield. I also don't think this minimizes BTS' hardwork. BTS was able to use the opportunities that groups like Big Bang made possible for them, to grow and become who they are today. They worked hard to get their name out there. I'm not a BTS fan, but I can recognize that.
not really lol, BTS, Blackpink and Twice would've made it regardless. Your giving too much credit to them by discrediting other achievements and hardships
He and BIGBANG have done so many things to kpop, I’m so grateful. Edit: idk why this got so many comments.... well actually I do just look a it... stop toxic comments please
WORLDWIDE ICONS BTS I’m not talking about popularity... I’m talking about kpop as a whole, they created lightsticks, therefore the fan ocean thing, also they made mini-albums a thing, they were the first to experiment with EDM sound (fantastic baby) that then became a thing in kpop, they are one of the most experimental kpop groups (if not the most) r&b, pop, hiphop, edm, trap and more. They make the word “maknae” a trend, they started the trend of rap based songs, they even make the position “rapper” a thing, they broke the stereotypes of Korean beauty, they proved that “ugly” persons could be idols, And I can go on...what I mean is that they basically shaped K-POP, every kpop group still follows everything that they have done
GD is iconic bc 1. first asian male to become chanel glboal ambassador and muse at the same time 2. first male to become givenchy muse 3. louis vuitton, dior designers wrote handwritten letters to gd 4. gd and bigbang was always the first to wear ysl collection clothing(in concert) 5. first asian to collab with nike and invited to forum 6. first korean singer who put all of the songs in his album on the charts 7. his solo debut stage has a rating of 20% which is the highest rating for a korean singer 8. he was the first singer to have a pg18 song chart #1 in korean charts 9. first idol who produced their own songs 10. the song haru haru and lies(he wrote these when he was only 19) is the longest song to chart on charts and after 13 years since the songs were released, its still in the chart(it never left the top 500 for over 10 years)
Even as I distanced myself from K-Pop, BIGBANG, G-Dragon and 2NE1 still have a special place in my playlist. I'm glad he is back and is making some noice again.
Bigbang feels like a real team. Not something manufactured for the masses. They're not perfect, they've each experienced misfortunes and life's pitfalls which makes them more appealing to me.
@@penatrayshin8726 stay updated on the case. He's been declared innocent by the court. The judge handling his case has sentenced the former president to imprisonment and also prosecuted Samsung's heir. The only investigation going on right now is if he was involved in money laundering
@@joamaquant7446 Yes, I agree. They struggled too specially Kpop is not that popular even in Asia. 1st Gen idols admitted that it was too hard even to start your group specially GD he started very young.
I always like to go all the way back. So I listen to Shinee, 2ne1, Wonder Girls, F(x),4Minute, Girls Generation, and sometimes Miss A. Also Exid's old albums
Younger kpop fans should watch this to be educated how GD change the Game for KPop . GD is called a King for so many damn f*cking reasons and anti are so pressed because its true. Just wait for him to finally comeback and His Group as a BIGBANG. After What Happened To His Home YG..His Brother Seungri,his kid B.I and Their so Called Father YHS . Its scary ,the dragon is sleeping for now but wait until he's awakened. K Media should be ready for this.
Man how time has passed I was 9 when I got into GD and his music and BIGBANG and now am 22 wow but Seeing GD from the very beginning makes me so happy GD is the reason why I got into K pop and my love for him is never going to change💜💜💜
I’m honestly piss off every time i heard people disrespecting GD and big bang. Like for real we are at the end of the third kpop generation and no groups had really changed kpop (musically talking). Bigbang were the only ones that actually changed kpop rules, just to make some examples the genres that we have now in kpop like EDM were first used by bigbang. Also the reason why today idols are considered artists it’s be cause bigbang were the first ones to write and produce their own songs. Sorry for my bad english.
GD is legend, Bigbang is Legend . GD and Bigbang is king of kpop . Bigbang paved the way . Even back then they r the only artist chart in billboard they r the started for everything . When army say BTS paved the way sorry dude its GD and bigbang paved the way and bts make it more successful . Thats it
I’d love this to happen.. YG: *in an absolute hellhole* GD: Um, your savior angel is here. Y’all messed up but hey, one for all and all for one? YG: ANYTHING PLEEEEEEASE!!!!
@@nocturnal7021 GD wont betray YG anyday...thats the last thing you can expect from him...also Blackpink cant leave YG for another 4 years and their main source of income currently with 60% of entire YG's revenue (old stats ..new stats might even be huge)
@@naveenchowdary7579 GD is loyal, but he for sure aint dumb. Well I hope he aint. He has the power to be independent or even start a company. Staying in YG would not help him in the long run considering the fact that the #BoycottYG movement has impact on YG artists music sales except AKMU and Lee Hi.
I just watched the KWON JIYONG documentary few days ago; i really really hope that he takes a good break; if u have seen the documentary he was TIRED and he was not really living a happy and easy life being G-Dragon; he was exhausted, lonely and fragile.He really wanted to let people know that sometimes he feels tired to have the title G-Dragon on. In the end, he is KWON JIYONG. "BEFORE THE MONEY AND FAME, KWONJIYONG WAS HIS NAME"
"I can't wait for him to show new K-Pop fans what he's capable of, and remind everyone what a LEGEND is capable of"👏 --InternetsNathan2k19 Can't also wait how the Kings of K-pop(BigBang) will dominate the whole K-Pop industry again.
@@sasukekuniski1959 le do you know who VIPS are ?😂😂😂 VIPS were little kids by then by now we are grown up adults and we have jobs so we don't have money problem, if Big Bang release new music now and have concert now it will be sold out is seconds or minutes. Hungry and Loyal VIPS are everywhere they just don't have time to explore all RU-vid videos but whenever Big Bang will have concert in future everyone will be ready for that as you saw how G Dragon sold his nike shoes for 22000 dollars, ya 22k dollars that's the price of a car, he just sold 22k for a single pair of shoes. Imagine power of G Dragon
I swear I cried my ass off in the end just knowing how special is GD and how amazing and truly talented he is may god bless him and a great welcome to the only Kpop King legend 😭😭😭 Our beloved Dragon Kwon Ji Yong my childhood love I love you😭❤️ and thank you so much for making this 😭❤️
Ronkiegurl27 yes shes an army and myself too but thats nothing to do with your statement friend. your statement is not needed here. its actually spreading toxic. grow up! and dont be the part of some so called immature army pls
InternetsNathan have you heard that there’s a bias in South Korea about yg , JYP and sm agency by the government and media lately.... I don’t know if it’s true but I reads someone commented about it... Anyway no matter hate GD will get from media true fans would stay and would be open minded with all the things happening
G-Dragon honestly have set the benchmark really high for k-pop stars. He achieved so much as a member of Big Bang but look at his individual achievements too!! This man is beyond comparable. He stands out, creating a league of his own. So much of admiration and respect for him. GD and Big Bang will always be the "og" of k-pop. They made k-pop global even before any of the new groups did. #Respect👏👏
3rd gen can't do that, cause they need the awards! cause the insecurity then fandom can get! LOL thats why GD diss Mnet, cause they only care about popularity not music quality anymore!
@@marrymejisoo3413 actually it was, because that means the music they made back then was in good quality enough to get more airtime on radio and music show. That's when award actually meant the music was of good quality. Nowadays, it just who have better fanbase to stream the living daylight out of a server. Then they will get win, then rack up the voting chart for the award. Aka, not about music anymore.
They are coming back don't worry and trust me it will be the best comeback ever in history of KPOP. They were supposed to make a comeback in Coachella but this China virus ruined everything
I'd argue big bang is 3rd Gen and the newer groups are 4th Gen tbh, 1st Gen is like GOD and Shinhwa, 2nd is like BoA and DBSK👍 3rd Gen is already retiring
@@j.c.85 This gets on my last nerve. BTS is paving a new...global/mainstream way (Why are people still denying/rejecting that with all the EVIDENCE!). Don't even bring them up, this is about GD and his accomplishments! GD & Big Bang paved a New legendary way (why they are the first coined Kings of of Kpop, 2nd), at that time that had not been witnessed before. BTS paved a New Iconic, record breaking...groundbreaking, way that has not been done/seen before (Why they are the new reigning Kings of Kpop, 3rd gen). They both are legends, they both broke barriers (BTS was inspired by Big Bang, they paid that homage countless times). BTS so far, made the greatest impact EVER...until the next group/act/gen comes along, taking it further...paving a newer way. If we want to get technical...Seotaiji and Boys paved the way...and US Blacks/Latinos...paved the way by creating the Hip Hop genre & Pop infused style of music Periodt! Bottom line, you don't have to deem someone else's light, for your fav to shine. Thanks to BTS, people will discover GD, Big Bang & others, just like others discovered other Kpop acts thanks to GD, Big Bang, Psy, The Wonder Girls, BOA, Rain (Another King), Steve Yo...
@@kpopcougar6832 you are an idiot! Social media is and will always be the strongest weapon of BTS not music... And remember we r talkibg about music in the 1st place... Heres the tea, social media wasnt on everyones radar around 10-15 yrs ago.. Just imagine social media does not exist today and lets focus on the music itself, its innovation and impact on pop culture, do u really think bts will still be that big?
Let's face it. Bigbang nor G-Dragon didn't even debuted in West, America, yet they still topped and broke records even on Billboard. Hail! Hail! HAIL KINGS! Edit: BIGBANG, the first Korean Act to be noticed by Grammy Awards.
The most amazing thing is that they are not even VIPs. Shaun played it during one of his sets in a nightclub in Korea. That is how big GD is. His songs become a national chorus.
Just the name GDragon fills my heart..A lot of younger generation idols and groups are already making kpop bigger. EXO, BTS, BP and many more. They've broke records and are already well known internationally. But no one comes close to GD's reputation when it comes to the kpop industry. He earned respect from his co artists and producers by working hard on his music. And that's a lot more significant than the fame and wealth he has now.
Funny how that Fandom calling him a devil and a druggie because he was the real KING OF KPOP not their idols and they keep on bringing up his scandals and the one that they're calling "cRiMeS". May I slap you one by one
Hzelyaa Dduh if your asking about GD’s marijuana scandal years before.n it was true. but he did not intentionally use it. during a party someone gave him a cigarite, you know Gd smoke even before. whe he notice tha something is wrong and diff. he throw it. thats why during his drug test only small amount of it was trace
@@enitsirkgemps6266 yea, it is nothing wrong with gd smoking , but i just dont like it how they think positive about gd smoking up marijuana but badly insulted bts for telling us to love ourself then goes by saying "one day bts will be sucking up drugs too"
Hzelyaa Dduh i dont understant y talked about bts here in these thread, when we are just talking about Gd’s weed issue! if someone talked about that on your idols dont mind them. dont step down on their level.i may not be a dan of BTS but i dont hate them too. we dont mention BtS on this thread.. maybe on other thread but not here in our convo thread. im not mad im just explaining. hope u wont mind
GD was my first kpop concert. In the UK, in Birmingham, where no other kpop artist has been too. He is truly the King of Kpop and the reason I go to kpop Concerts
This man is the literal definition of talent. Talented artists like him, comes once in a lifetime. Can't wait for him to change the flow of k-pop once again.
Not only these legendary things he did musically, but we cant forget about his fashion aspect 1. He's the first asian Chanel ambassador. CHANEL, guys! 2.He has featured in VOGUE front cover 3. he has his own fashion brand peaceminusone (that is somehow always out of stock) 4. Collaboration w Nike and launch his own shoes design 5. V.I.Ps always joke that even if he wears a rag he'd still looks stylist af 6. Trendsetters for many many many fashion trends. And many more that i havent thruoughly research.
I went to one of the concerts in his M.O.T.T.E. Tour, and one of the concerts in Taeyang’s White Night tour. Both were amazing. Their stage presence was phenomenal. Hearing and seeing them perform live was astounding. Being part of the yellow ocean and singing along with other VIPs was such a wonderful experience. Many of us including me cried when they sung songs like Haru Haru, Last Dance, and Untitled. This just goes to prove that BigBang are kings. I can’t wait to attend a BigBang concert 🥰
Those concerts would have been amazing! I went to the bigbang MADE tour and to this day it is still my favourite concert ever. I think you'd agree with me when I say EVERY FAN NEEDS TO EXPERIENCE HARU HARU LIVE! They let the audience sing to them while they sit there and take it all in. it's hauntingly beautiful.
@@charitosumayao1384 fr! That's my fav album from them mainly cause that was around the same year I was really a kpop fan and I would always see videos of the concert on YT.
some of the music industry observer ever said this.. other idols might be more famous than bigbang but no one can match the level of bigbang, they are at another level from any kpop group..
He was seen in the studio with Blackpink just a little over a month ago. I would bet he's producing something for them. Though if they decide to do a collab instead... I ain't complaining.
GD alone is better than BTS..periodtttt❤️ can't wait for his or bigbang comeback..so they can take their king 👑 title again from so called king BTS.."THE SLEEPING DRAGON WILL BE AWAKEN.!!"
Truth be told! Totally agreed, my husband doesn’t truly care about any other groups I’m interested in but when it comes to BigBang and GD - he’s the first to hype about it. He got all his 7 brothers and in laws families liking BigBang and GD. So I say yes to this comment.
@@ash8802 It's the same in Korea. I am a 22-year-old male Korean. I went to boys' high school. The topics we talked about all day at school were women, LOL, and BIG BANG.
Big Bang and especially GDragon holds a huge part in my musical heart. They led my cringey confused 15 yrs old ass to kpop and kdrama. Glad I left that world before it got so badly corrupted, but I hope his comeback goes well
I left in 2012. Hahaha so now I don't really know the new groups and I hear fans are toxic, unlike most fans for 2nd gen era where they all support all groups.
@@millasuini8307 from someone who is not as active in kpop anymore but spent every minute she had on it from 2017 to 2019, it was still really fun and alot of the the 2nd and few 3rd gen groups still had a connection with their audience because they had room to make mistakes and bring out bad songs and funny things that would get memed on but the competition between the groups or actually fandoms has gotten so toxic and unrecoverable making it less enjoyable. Now Im trying hard not to judge but all the groups coming out are so well rounded and good at everything and all look perfect which Is great but it leaves no room for artists to connect as humans with their fans or their music and the work they are putting out because they look unreachable and not human to many. The industry has kinda gone to shit concidering fans think they own the idols and can only uplift their own groups trough bringing down others. That's why I'm glad I'm out of that hole and can now just enjoy the music without the frustration. I just recently discovered BB and let's just say im in love with their music especially GD his voice and artistic output and value he has in his lyrics.
I was stageside for the MADE tour in Jersey, and saw GD in Houston for his solo tour. He is AWESOME. I stayed at his parents' pension when I went to South Korea, played with Gaho and just loved it. I am sad that BB most likely is defunct, but I take pride in having been a part of this story in a teeny tiny way. BTW. As of this posting, I am 58 yrs old.
I see a lot of people saying he will leave Yg but I don’t see him leaving Yg he’s been there since he was 13 year old and him with bigbang made Yg i doubt he will let all their hard work just go. I think it’s unfair how he has lot of pressure on him to save the company caused by seungri and YHS but I hope he gets some rest and comeback with bangers
well, yhs has always manipulated them (whole bb) to stay in the company, actually they considered to leave in 2015 when they were signing the contract again. Yhs at that time told gd that he has to consider all the people who would be jobless if he leaves and well the rest of bb always follow what gd says so
@@ellaz3911 Who told you that? GD said himself that he renew the contract because YG its his home and that he love all the staff, he is comfortable there and he can do whatever he want. He is free. He said "I dont want to leave home".
Dont even go there, false reports and kmedia are the cause of what happened with YG. YHS and Seungri havent even been proven guilty of anything. All of BB are more likely now more then ever to leave YGE, start their own label and comeback as ot5.
its heartbreaking seeing ignorant new generation fans (and haters) disrespecting gdragon and his hard work. from the age of 6, he has been performing on stage and underground at the age of 12. he was literally born to be on stage. yall should watch this compilation of gdragon performing with jinusean from 12 y/o, you can see the charisma and swag naturally coming from him: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bK7mA6kRS9g.html
like sure he have made mistakes, but seriously who in the world doesnt make mistakes?? we’re all human. at least he doesnt act like a fake saint on screen.
