G-Dragon's Highly Anticipated Return

After a strikingly long break of 7 years and 4 months, G-Dragon has made his highly anticipated return to the music scene with his solo single 'POWER,' released on October 31st. This comeback has not only thrilled fans but also reignited discussions about the iconic artist's creative journey during an appearance on MBC FM4U's 'Kim Eana’s Starry Night' on November 18th.

The Creative Process Behind 'POWER'

During the interview, G-Dragon opened up about the grueling process of crafting the lyrics for 'POWER.' He admitted, "It took quite a while. I usually say I can finish quickly, but this time it didn’t come all at once. The melody flowed easily and matched the vibe of the song, but because the flow was so unique, I had to ensure the lyrics had depth and conveyed a message, which extended the process."

Praise from Industry Peers

Renowned lyricist Kim Eana praised G-Dragon's extraordinary talent, saying, “From a writer’s perspective, the rhythm and wordplay in your songs are at the highest level. You’ve mastered the manipulation of homophones and have set trends that others could only dream of following.” In his characteristic humorous style, G-Dragon replied, “My pronunciation isn’t naturally clear. Even when I speak Korean, it can sound foreign. I’ve utilized this unique trait, transforming Korean phrases so they could also resonate as Japanese or English.”

Reflections on the Comeback

Reflecting on the adjustments he faced during this comeback, G-Dragon candidly shared, “There were so many differences. Mentally, I felt as if I hadn’t changed, but I used to catch on to choreography quickly. This time around, I found myself struggling, questioning, ‘Why isn’t my body cooperating?’ It made me realize that I need to stay physically active,” he said with a chuckle.

A Cultural Icon

Fans and critics alike are applauding G-Dragon's authentic reflections, which have only intensified their admiration for his artistry and remarkable resilience. As they eagerly absorb 'POWER,' conversations about G-Dragon's profound impact on the music industry continue to thrive, solidifying his status as a true cultural icon. Will this new era mark a shift in how fans perceive his evolution as an artist? Only time will tell!
