Yes, she loves it very much, more than Alive last year (we went together in Singapore) - minus not the whole BIGBANG there. She said the show is better produced (visual, effects...) and GD performs and sings live very very well (her fav is Obsession and She's Gone, GD's "acting" and performance really causes "obsession" for her    ), Thai VIPs are nice too

Glad to know that your friend enjoyed his shows in Thailand. Did she went to both days? Thai vips were worry that GD would be upset that the hall was not full but he's not. He gave all out for the shows. Thank you for saying that I'm nice. lol joking

[MiMGB]

Yes, she went to both days. Another girl went and said, the Thai VIP near her asked if it's the first time she comes to Thailand and she said yes, then the Thai VIP changed her own position for our girl with the better view, how nice

 

For a Korean solo artist, I think GD ticket sale is very good if not best - consider he has 2 days, he sold out about 90% tickets of the tour so far anyway ^^ (and his total tickets is 540,000 - more than Suju's Super Show 4) I remember Alive in Bangkok last year didn't sell 100% of tickets too ^^ And he seems have really good time with Thai fans

Awww, that Thai vip was really nice.

yeah, Alive tour in Thailand didn't sell out but about 90-95% was sold. There are many problem between the agency and fans these time. His tickets price are so high for kpop concert standard here. It led to low ticket sale.

[MiMGB]

GD's a pro though. He wouldn't do that.   Even when he had a giant tour with BB, he was always the best performer at every concert although not the best at fanservice.

Hi! henry fan lmao. GD was great in Alive tour concert but watching a few of his solo concerts makes me think if he being lazy or something for alive tour. since for his solo concert, he is like x10000 bettter than alive tour for both performance wise and fanservice. He sounds so good.

[MiMGB]

I don't get why some kpop fans are so obsessed with fanservice, I mean, If we get some, cool, if we don't then cool again, i don't really care that much

What's wrong? Did someone complain about his fanservice or something?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My GTOP   Can't wait until tomorrow.

[MiMGB]

^

ahhh I just can't chose who is the ugliest one. lol

 

 

 

 

 

[MiMGB]

^

Thank you. GD with headband is one of my favorite.

 

 

About GD being exhausted, maybe it's because the weather was so hot in ML. Besides that I think he's fine.

 

Hope to hear somethink about his solo from YG tomorrow. I'm still waiting for his part 2 mini album.

[MiMGB]

that's what i thought too. also, i think his venue was outdoors? 

 

even though i want gd's music, i hope he takes a break and starts on BB's material. he's done good and he'll have plenty of time to be a true soloist later.

 

you can see how tall gd really is in this gif lol

yeah, It's Nasional stadium, an outdoor stadium. I'm not sure but I heard that they close the roof. A few Thai vip went there and said that it's so HOT in the stadium. I think GD just couldn't handle it.

 

 

The more people say they don't want GD album, the more I want him to release it. 

[MiMGB]

who is Baek AhHyun?

 

 

lol

 

but i want YB come first before him tho ,haha

we talk about korean album right? bcause he will release his jap album in august.. hope we will get new original songs atleast 2/3 songs..

 

do you guys think he will promote his album??? like perform in japan music show or something?

She's from Kpop star, the same season as Hayi. She's in JYP now.

 

 

lol sorry, I always be like that. haha don't mind me.

 

 

yeah, korean album. I wonder if the japanese album will be a remake of his new korean album+OOAK since there will be 2 CDs for his Jap album. HB is too old to remake but who know, it's YG. I think he won't mind to sell 4 years old song.

 

His japanese is really bad. lol I don't think he can do the promotion alone.

[MiMGB]

everyones excited! can't wait ^^

 

maybe i'll finally change my sig and dp if this album is really good heh 

lol a henry fan, you should change your sig and dp now. haha

 

 

 

I'm sooooooooo happy about a good news. Hope he get a great promotion for his album this time. 

[MiMGB]

^

lol ikr. That's the only thing we should worry about.

[MiMGB]

henry just looks so elegant and cute so until gd can do something like that, can't xDDD

 

im happy for inkigayo performances and some variety.  its good enough for me and i hope gd and ty go on variety together :D

How could you say GD can't be like that   Did you see GD played piano in SAL. His skill was as amazing as henry! haha

[MiMGB]

Actually , with me, if he look like this 24/7 , it's so boring.

 

One of his attractiveness is changing. No one can predict what he will do ? 

 

If you stay in showbiz for a long time, it is easy to become boring because you don't have new thing to show. And it is the enemy of an artist.

 

And GD, even he debut in 7 years, he still be cable to makes us supprised  , bad or good , it is still be suprised . So, fan still have something to discuss. ...

 

My personal thinking is that  one of the weaknest of SM artists are that they  look cute  or perfect ( like their fan praised them ) all times. No differece.

 

So.. it becomes boring time by time.

 

It 's just my personal idea....

Hi!  ^____^  You're a top stan right?

You're right about that!

 

Kari I'm judging you. You asked him too much. haha

 

 

OMFG!!!!!!!  I can't stop staring at these pics. can't imagine that i can see this looks on him     

Oh hi!!! GD fans, new fan here   please help me, I'm so obsessed with him right now .I can't stop watching his video on Youtube from the past 3 days.After went to his concert because of my friend beg me to go  OMFG He's so amazing also can actually sing live very well and  G-Dragon in person is so F*cking cute.He looks  better in person than he does in picture But much much much smaller and shorter than I imagined   and that make him looks like cutie pie and his smile so beautiful. I've spent 3 days for searching everything about him and watching his video   and decided to become his fan. I can't believe i used to hate this perfect guy.    I finally know why this guy is so popular and have many fans on his side .

Welcome to the dark side ! You choose the right person to stan.  I'm glad that your friend beg you to go with her. lol

 

 

 

 

August pls come fast.

 

[MiMGB]

Hi all \O/ Does anyone know when GD is coming to Singapore? And the flight details?   Thanks in advance ^^ 

 

He will leave korea tomorrow, SQ 607 [cr: misscxg].  Are you going to see him at the airport? A vip said that he will use CIP.

I don't know anymore. The oganizer said that he's already in SG.

[MiMGB]

Rumor that GD will hold his WT final concert in Seoul with new songs from the new album. You're so unfair Gee Dee

---------

 

repost my new fanart

 

 

Awwww, your fanart are so cute. You made his shorts looks a lot beter than in real life.

 

 

I'm so happy that we got specific date for everything now. yeah, I canunderstand how YB's fans feel but I think YG release GD solo first because it's an album that was delayed from his last year birthday.

 

 

 

GD and Teddy! She's so lucky.

 

[MiMGB]

 

 I've made a gif set from it:

 

\

 

That's adorable. Tiny boy's so cute.

 

He's such a tease.

[MiMGB]

He is too cute. I can't.............

 

He just want to dresses like vitamin water bottle. lol

[MiMGB]

^

I'm glad to see GD is on top but cl at #2 makes this list so fake.

[MiMGB]

Poor GD. No one believe oppa is tall. I don't believe it either. lol

 

I think he will do well with his album sale even if it won't be as great as OOAK. OOAK which was released last year won't be a problem for his fanbase but maybe just some casual fans.

[FULL TRANS] G-dragon for VOGUE KOREA 17th Anniversary Issue: Editorial+Interview

 

“Last winter, I listened to Bigbang’s ‘Monster’ the whole time I was shooting with Mario Testino for <VOGUE UK> He said that he’s a fan of Bigbang so I gave him Bigbang’s album as a giftâ€

 

10AM. After her show in Paris, Kim Sung Hee came straight to the studio from the airport. All for the photoshoot with G-dragon. Soo Joo was also on the same plane as her. Park Ji Hye is probably flying to somewhere right now. These three beautiful troika models that took over the runways all around the world, were having some wine together in Paris and were talking about their excitements for the photoshoot. “We promised each other that we’ll all greet GD dancing to Fantastic Baby. We probably can’t actually do it cause we’re too shy.â€

 

This story all starts from 2 months ago. When the Vogue editors decided to make “Seoul†the theme for the 17th anniversary issue, the first person that came into our mind was G-dragon. Bigbang who came on stage yelling “LIES†in 2008, was a totally new group. What represents Bigbang is not perfect choreography or uniforms. But it is their own style of music and their care-free attitude. In the middle of that, there’s G-dragon, who takes care of producing their songs. Just like the lyrics of his song ‘One of A Kind’, what he does becomes the new trend and everyone will go crazy for it. G-Dragon is a cultural icon that represents the first half of the 21st century. And instead of being some secret, mysterious cultural icon, he is a friendly star that is active on SNS. He’s also a musician that can be a part of fashion like the Beatles or David Bowie.

 

“Hello!†G-dragon walked in wearing red sunglasses, holding a red hermes berkin bag as big as his body. This musician who said he’ll still wear red until he becomes an old granpa, first thing he did was to change the music by plugging his iphone into the studio speaker. In the boring, silent room, electronic sound and Kanye West’s fast rap started flowing. “I like moving my body to the song that I like when I’m shooting. So everywhere I go, I always turn on the music.†The shooting that is scheduled to be 1 night and 2 days had hundreds and hundreds of outfits, including sparkling Saint Laurent jackets all the way from France. This is the new collection that nobody in Korea has worn before. Saint Laurent Paris sends it to the fashionistas as a special treatment. GD who received big attention from many fashion houses with his Saint Laurent outfits, also dressed himself up in the Thom Browne runway for his MichiGO music video. To GD, fashion is a gift box that holds music. “You can tell that I walk differently when I wear a hip hop style outfit and when I wear a dandy suit. You can see the same in my music too, right? It’s the same when I go up on the stage, or when I make music. That’s why I dress up all the time. You never know what my songs would sound like if I only wore sweats every day.â€

 

The shooting officially started as the last track of Kanye West’s album played. GD who was holding a violin and an accordion became a street musician. Model Sunghee became a dancer that travels with him. Although the two didn’t talk other than an awkward hello, when the shooting started, they became a cute, lovely couple. SungHee who was a ballerina when she was young showed her flexible moves and the photographer Kim Bo Sung and GD were amazed. The two who are knowledgeable about how to use their body, worked in a perfect harmony like dancers who have practiced together for a long time. GD said “I read some magazines and I looked up some poses for this photoshoot. Because this is such a big project with VOGUE and this was my first time doing this kind of styling. So I didn’t even eat for the shooting. I thought skinny body would look better for this photoshoot, but I’m not so skinny at the moment. I don’t really go on a diet or anything but I ate too much when my concert ended so I worked out to lose some weight.â€

 

GD’s 2nd album is in preparation. Since the day he got back to Korea, he’s been working nonstop in his studio for his new album. He said he didn’t get to rest at all, not even a day.

 

“I’ve been constantly looking for something new, but I just don’t know what it is that I’m missing. If I knew, I would be right on it, but I just don’t know what it is.â€

 

“I think the fact that I’m collaborating with a foreign artist is very new and fresh. I liked Missy Elliot since I was a kid and I always thought, how great would it be if I collaborated with her, and somehow there was a chance for me.†He said that his album is about 70% done. He said that he included Hip Hop, R&B, Rock and Ballad so there isn’t any particular concept. “I put all the songs that I’ve liked for the past 1 ~ 2 years because nowadays nobody listens to all the songs in an album. They just pick out the songs that they like in a playlist and listen to that.â€

 

This album will be released on 8/18. It is the same day as GD’s birthday (1998/08/18). His first solo album came out on this day as well. This number 8 is a very special number to GD. If you lay the number sideways, it becomes the infinity sign and it’s a lucky number to GD. Also GD became the youngest male cover model for VOGUE for our August issue.

 

“It is such an honor. Asian power is growing every day in this world and I’m so glad that I could be a part of that growth with these three global models. And I hope that I could be a help to this Asian Power.â€

As time passed, the shooting scene felt more like a club late at night. Because of GD’s playlist that shook up your heart. West Coast Hip Hop’s symbol Kendrick Lamar, old school artist Whodini, Chris Brown’s featuring and kid rapper Scooter Smiff… Beyonce, Pharell Williams, etc. Also can’t forget about Jay-z’s new album where all the millionaires united. “I get so irritated when I hear a good song. It’s something that stimulates me the most. I love all of Jay-z’s songs, and I’m envious of Kanye because he can try many new stuff, and same with J.Cole… Taeyang is also preparing for a new album now, and I was really jealous of one of the songs. When I hear a song that good, I have to relieve it (the irritation). GD was dancing to the music and hit one of the boxes on the photoset like it’s an African drum. He didn’t care at all even if there were staffs watching. When we all felt like we’ve heard enough songs for a month, the shooting was stopped temporarily. GD had to leave for a while to go to a brand launching party.

 

Later that night, when he came back, his 2nd partner Soo Joo was waiting for him. Soo Joo already met Taeyang who came to Paris. This was her first time meeting GD. Photographer Hong Jang Hyun wanted them to be friendly and have more dramatic shots in this awkward moment. He wanted to pull GD’s pure charms to the photoshoot. GD didn’t really mind wearing short pants or being half naked because of his previous experiences with VOGUE where he had to wear high heels. But out of all, he trusted the photographer. And then something amazing happened.

 

Soo Joo and GD who had long blond hair with smoky eyes almost looked identical, like twins. 2NE1’s stylist, Yang Seung Ho, who stopped by to look at the shooting, looked into the picture for some time and said ‘I can’t tell which one’s GD and which one’s Soo Joo.’ The two looked so natural, like real couples. But GD couldn’t hide his real feelings. “I was just looking straight up, straight up! Hehe.†When the shooting ended, GD spoke about that awkward moment. “I’m a guy so I’m fine with showing some skin. But it was kinda hard because I’ve never done something like this with a female model with skin exposure. Even on stage, I never tried anything like this before. But it was fun.â€

 

As soon as the shooting ended, Soo Joo turned into a shy lady. Soo Joo who showed unapproachable charisma during the shooting, was just another fangirl after all. When she was taking a picture with GD, she did the typical V pose!

 

The next day, the shooting started at night. GD in red skinny jeans was saying that he needs more space for his clothes in his new house. And as he was saying that, he was adding more items in his online shopping cart. Top item on his wish list was next season’s White Saint Laurent shoes. “I used to wear high-tops or Louboutin shoes but now I don't really get hyped over expensive shoes. I'd rather buy some old Nikes that I used to wear in middle school. GD has as many tattoos as his clothes and shoes. He who got a keith Harring tattoo 2 years ago recently added a Basquiat tattoo to his collection. “I like pop art. It’s the most public and commercial kind of art. And I’m also a pop artist in music. I recently bought some art works of Patrick Rubinstein.â€

 

His last shooting started with some piano playing by Billy Preston. Tonight, GD will be a gentleman at a club in the 50s. The lady who will accompany him is Park Ji Hye. The only model brave enough to greet GD dancing to Fantastic baby. Park Ji Hye sincerely praised GD, "GD is so good. It's not exactly what we models do, but he has his own unique style."

 

GD who achieved what he’s been working up to since he was a 13 year old trainee in YG, what does he think about himself?

 

“I guess I achieved my vague dreams. But what really matters is what kind of singer you are. I don’t want to distinguish good or bad based on that artist’s morality. I think you’re a good artist if you can make music that won’t make you feel ashamed when you listen to it in the future, if you can give inspirations to junior artists and if you can perform on the stage until your last moment… That’s something that I always think about and I always try to work on. What matters at the end is not your age, but it’s the young spirit that you have. Trying to easily fit in to this world, you’ll lose your colors and that’s the same for music too.â€

 

When GD’s last shooting ended, all the staffs that worked with him for over 24 hours gave GD a big round of applause. GD was not tired at all. 3AM. As he walked out the studio he said, “If you keep walking in the path that you think is the right way, your own unique charm will shine inside you one day, right?â€
