GD @ the Samsung event

 

 

his shirt reminds me of child safety seats 

 

An article about him wiping his sweat lmao http://wstarnews.hankyung.com/apps/news?popup=0&nid=01&c1=01&c2=01&c3=00&nkey=201403272113521&mode=sub_view

 

He's so cute today, light make-up, fluffy hair, child safety seats style   The thrist for some baby product CF is real

Quan Zhilong stans go hard.

Hmm... I'm just wondering, how popular are BB and GD in China? Like, how are they received there and what kind of image do they have? Because I've read somewhere in this forum that K-pop acts tend to get bashed a lot. ._. Also, some people have said that GD is popular for his scandals. O_o Some responses in the thread about this poll and this other thread got me curious.

 

Yes K-pop is bashed a lot in China ._. I must say it's only popular with part of the young people (Kpop fanbase). However GD is popular for his style/image too => he has the "upper class"/fashion fans, he's treated like a "foreign supperstar". Remember that MC fanboy knees infront of GD at an award event? Because of that GD's fans get attacked online a lot, like the spam-bomb in 1 month for GD Baidu bar. Luhan of EXO is bullied online seriously, the anti-Kpop group doesn't even remember the kid is actually Chinese I think, and his group sings in Chinese

 

The top 4 Kpop acts in China are EXO, GD/BIGBANG, Suju, SNSD. GD/BB went from almost non-exist fanbase to surpass Suju with Alive (EXO is main the reason for SJ fandom's decine though I think).

[Full TRANS] GD’s interview of “100 people who will make Korea bright 10 years laterâ€

Q1 : If you write your autobiography, what is the best moment of your life?

GD : It didn’t come yet. I’m waiting for it, expecting

 

Q2 : Have you ever had a moment that changed your life? What was that and how did it change your life?

GD : It’s music, I got to have a dream seeing a senior singer who was singing on stage. It made me dream and made the dream come true. It made who I am now too.

 

Q3 : Any moment of failure or the time that made you learn a good lesson you don’t forget still now? How did you overcome the failure or hardship?

GD : A few years ago, I made my family, fans and all the people around me disappointed with personal mistakes. Positive thoughts and the spirit that doesn’t allow me to give up made me work for music again. Trust, attention and love from the public were like a debt. I tried to pay my debts.

 

Q4 : What do you want to say the most to your childs to prepare for 10 years later? You can say something as advices for the youth in Korea too.

GD : Believe in yourself. It is hard to focus on only one thing in this world, but keep going for one work, then you will succeed anyway. Don’t worry too much. Think positively.

 

Q5 : If you consider your success of life 100, how much do you think you are successful in family relationship? What did you give up to be successful?

GD : 67 ? I’m still the youngest kid in my family. But I don’t act like other youngest childs. I didn’t spend much time with family, it’s the biggest burden to me still now.

 

Q6 : Tell me if you have a secret to manage your life. Do you try to keep in shape or improve your mind specially?

GD : I don’t know how adults will think about this but I sleep as much as possible. Actually, I sleep much but I don’t have enough time to sleep usually. So I sleep much whenever I can. I like to dream and I get inspired by the dreams.
