I saw a great explanation of this song and want to share: There are lots of Korean wordplay, so some lines of lyrics might feel awkward, These are some clues that you can understand the song more. 88: GD's birthday is 18.08.1988, So he puts his own meaning on the Number 8. That's why he wrote so many 8s in his lyrics. You can see the Metro map on 2:03, it's a track-list of his up coming album, there are 8 tracks. The last line of lyrics ("Fly high"): The original Korean lyrics' pronunciation is "Pal Pal Nara" (Means fly high). There is a wordplay as well, 'Pal' is 8, same pronunciation, and 'Pal Pal' is kind of onomatopoeia, 'Nara' is Flying, so this line was translated flying high in English. And that's why the ending scene shows 8 8 (Pal Pal) and GD jumps (Flying) (Nara) In addition, he came back in 88 months since his last comeback. The meaning the wordplay of the lyric "Spot to rest, a Global Luxury": The original Korean Lyric is this, 누울 자리 글로벌 명품 "Nu ul Jari, Global Myong pum (Glo / bal myong pum)" In here, Glo means text, lyrics, writings, everything about word or text. Global is global, the exact English word, but here's the thing, Bal myong pum is Invention. So he connected two Korean words to one English word (Glo + bal). And Myong pum is luxury, the words share same pronunciation, so these are some wordplay using pronunciation of Korean and English. This is crazy wordplay. in my opinion, GD likened home("Spot to rest") to every goal such as social status, honor, his position in the field, and he invented his goals, and it's also luxury. The main hook "I don't give a shh, Laughing end 'Money' Donating 'millions' Grin": last year, GD was suddenly investigated for drug scandal. During the investigation, every single time he attended to police station, he said "I don't care because I never drugged." At the result, the truth is GD was innocent, at the photo-line in front of the police station, he laughed. After the scandal, he recognized that the risk of drugs in Korean society, He founded a foundation for drug eradication, he donated KRW ₩ 300 million (about USD $ 218,828). So this story is where the lyrics came from. Meaning of "Power Abuse questioned Tolerance Natural Disasters Unavoidable Circumstances" During the drug investigation, journalists raised him a suspicion of Power abuse for having Drugs, at the same time, Korean News channels delivered that rumor without fact-check. However after investigation, he was innocent, and he was possible to accuse those News channels, but he was tolerant to them, he announced he will not get a court. This is the story of "Power abused questioned Tolerance" (Natural translation is like "I was tolerant when I was questioned Power Abuse"). Natural Disasters (천재지변: Chun Jae Ji Byun) = (천재, 지병: Chun Jae,[Genius] Ji Byoung[Chronic illness]) same pronunciation wordplay. Genius always has Chronic illness, and it's unavoidable circumstances (irresistible force). Meaning of "Forcefully criticize Spread a meme Talk blah blah shout out": During the investigation of drug, some news channels, fake news UA-camrs, and social media delivered GD's old interviews. In the interviews, he looked like he was addicted to drugs, because he speaks slowly, suddenly smiles, unnatural facial describing and his eyes. And these became memes and many publics criticized him. It was such a baseless criticism. People talked behind his back, but when after he finished the investigation, suddenly many people changed their attitudes, shout out him as usual like they haven't betrayed him at all. This story is where the lyrics came from.
amazing video! also, I don't know if you saw it, but apparently many companies offered him to work together, but he decided to sign with a small palestinian company!!
The King of K-Pop is indeed back! 👑 Yes, G-Dragon is putting out a full album. The track list is hidden in the background of the “POWER” MV. See if you can find it. Lastly, not sure if you know but he’s set to perform at the MAMA Awards in Japan on the 23rd of November.
Album apparently due before year end. Appearing at MAMA's 23 Nov 2024. Only a supposition, but I read that the start of the perf. Video was to reflect the false accusation of the person that said they saw possible signs of drugs in the restroom that GD had also used at some point. He, of course came out innocent after investigationand all the tests. Also in mv he is wearing same suit as one of the ones Jim Carey wore in The Truman Show.
He will release album this month it's about days actually we will have his album with 8 track n gona perform his new song in the mama with his members on the main stage 23th in japan
GD went to his first show after 7 years of hiatus, You Quiz on the Block and he announced there that by the time this show aired his song would be released, and everyone was searching on every korean streaming platform and it went down 😂
가장 완벽한 아티스트라 평가받고있는gd 가요계 역사상 3대아티스트로 평가받아요. 리액견 감사해요.^^ 이번곡은 그간 잘못된 미디어.공권력에 희생당했던 일과 심경이 담긴곡이며. 이 곡 그러기에 좋고 말고를떠나 상징적인 선곡이었던.. 앞으로 나올 앨범이 기대되는 이유이기도합니다.
They react so quickly that it almost seems like they're late, but in reality, they’re always ahead with their scheduled videos. Today, this video is close to 30 million views, and you might wonder, "Aren't they going to react?" But they already did-when it was only at 23 million views. 🤯
This is a prerelease single. He will be performing at MAMA on the 23rd too. Album will be released in a few weeks most probably, we have no specific date tho.
The beat's so good but the lyrics are so good... And the way he made the Korean sound like English....was insane!!!!! You can't appreciate it unless you're Korean because you know you've never heard a whole freaking sentence in Korean rhyme and sound English! Right after "I don't give a shxx"..... The next line and how it talked about the bs that happened to him this past year.
Thanks u react to GD POWER BUT hold up until u listen to HOME SWEET HOME FT Taeyang and Daesung his bigbang members.coz the lyrics and the beat ? I’m surely u gonna be hype more. 🥰
