G-Dragon, a victim of drug abuse, has no place to talk..I feel despondent and empty (questions)



Singer G-Dragon confessed his feelings at the time of rumors of drug administration and the meaning contained in 'POWER'.

G-Dragon appeared as a guest on MBC 'Son Seok-hee's Questions', which aired on the 5th.

On the same day, G-Dragon was not critical of the opinion that the song 'POWER' released in October last year criticized the media. I'm also a person in this (entertainment) industry, so I can't help but be influenced by the media, and I'm in the media, but I mixed satire with a little more humor rather than a critical gaze.




As for the red hooded figure in the music video 'Power', he said "I wanted to express how I see it in three characters in every satire, even though every scene continues to appear. There was a clear message that I wanted to convey", he explained.

The representative thing is that a year before I released the album 'Power', I was involved in an incident, and I didn't want to know it in a third party, but I had no place to say my personal opinion or feelings"Things grew out of control even though I was a victim and I didn't want to complain that it was unfair," he said. "At that time, I was taking a break from activities, so I don't know how I spent the end of the year and the beginning of the year for two to three months."I recalled the situation at the time.

G-dragon `Personally, I feel despondent and empty. I didn't want to protest, I didn't want to hold a press conference to express my position, and it was a pain, and it was frustrating that I had to endure it when I thought it was a process. Then I thought it would be right for me to make a comeback. If I were to take more rest and rather retire, I might be a regular person, but in my opinion, there was no reason to do that, and I should be glad that it passed, but I wondered if this had passed or if I was forced to get out of it for a few months" he said.




He said "There was a window of music that I could do, and the period of time when I was about to start preparing the album overlapped, so when I wrote it based on my experience, I felt 'I found the owner' when I chose 'Power' as the first song."I don't want to make such a case next time, and I think it was the key point among the various messages about "Power" that I wanted to satirize the media using the power of music because it was the media"He confessed.

Then "The song is much shorter than I thought. It's only 2 minutes and 30 seconds, but I don't know how many days it took to write the lyrics. "The message was summarized to a minimum, but the bones and everything were calculated and contained in it. "As a colleague or senior in the same industry, if there is a case like this next time, we need an organization that can be on our side. I think I even established the 'Juspiece Foundation' while preparing for the comeback, thinking that it would be nice to have a senior or group who could seek help or advice when such a case should not happen to my juniors.

G-Dragon, meanwhile, voluntarily appeared in 2023 to plead his innocence after police booked him for drug violations under the Narcotics Control Act and was questioned by police. At that time, G-Dragon was tested negative for both simple reagents and a detailed examination of the National Forensic Service's hair, and was cleared of charges about two months later.
