G-Dragon is said to be past his prime, but still tries to save fangirl from Seungri

The most anticipated comeback in Kpop right now is G-Dragon. 7 years since the EP Kwon Jiyong, 4 years since "Brother Long" was discharged from the army, fans are still patiently waiting for the "King of Kpop" to return.

In 2023, when everything seemed to be over and new music was about to be released, G-Dragon was unjustly caught up in a drug scandal.

BIGBANG leader chose to leave YG - the "home" he had been attached to for more than 2 decades to take charge of his personal career. At Galaxy Corp., G-Dragon continuously "dropped hints" about a new album and world tour, making fans restless.

On September 1, G-Dragon made everyone burst into tears when he appeared at Taeyang's concert. Here, the 3-member BIGBANG reunited, G-Dragon returned to the stage after 7 years of absence. With just an impromptu performance, the "Kpop king" affirmed his position, social networks were abuzz with G-Dragon. That was not enough, G-Dragon also revealed that he would officially release new music in December. Korean media continuously reported on BIGBANG's year-end stage at award ceremonies.

In early October, G-Dragon was spotted at 2NE1's reunion concert. The moment he chatted with Yang Hyun Suk caused a storm in the fan community. Once again, the Korean media spread the news that G-Dragon would return on October 25, making the year-end Kpop "battlefield" hotter than ever. In the face of these rumors, Galaxy Corp. remained vague and did not deny them.

On the morning of October 14, fans spread the news that G-Dragon had registered the copyright for a new song called Power with ASCAP - the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. With just this move, the day the king returns is further confirmed. With just these "hints", G-Dragon made the entire music industry "hold its breath" in anticipation. Impact is so profound, but G-Dragon was also criticized by netizens as... out of date.

A post that is receiving mixed reactions on the Kpop forum has a subjective comment that G-Dragon doesn't need to comeback, because he's out of date and... flops: "What's the point of GD making a comeback? Will he win a Daesang or any big awards after his comeback or will he flop like his 2017 album? Honestly, prime GD has been gone for a long time. Now he's making a comeback to show his gratitude to his fans, but the fact that his achievements haven't flopd is a huge favor. He looks more and more worn out, his face isn't as angular as before, and his style is sloppy and unsightly."

This post attracted the attention of Kpop fans, not because of its sharp or influential comments, but because it was... too ridiculous. The comments that denied G-Dragon's influence received a strong reaction from the public. There is no need to argue, the media's uproar over just a few "hints" of G-Dragon's comeback is enough to prove the stature of "Mr. Long".

In their current position, G-Dragon fans probably don't care too much about performance indicators, but the most important thing is to satisfy their "hunger for music". When G-Dragon releases music, it will be a storm that will hit the idol world. People are curious to see what the king will do, what the quality of the product is, and what kind of content is inserted into the music. It is the public's anticipation that will knock down the achievement milestones.

Not to mention, G-Dragon's 2017 album Kwon Jiyong was not a "flop". The title track Untitled, 2014 achieved a Perfect All-Kill. G-Dragon covered Kpop with the bright red of the "sold-out" MOTTE show series. This is a product that left many impressions, telling G-Dragon's personal story before his military enlistment. Up to now, it is one of the BIGBANG leader's most in-depth products. That is enough to affirm his No. 1 position.

Therefore, the above statement makes Kpop fans feel reluctant to argue because it lacks basis.

In another development, recently, social media went viral with a video of G-Dragon and his fans at an event nearly ten years ago. At that time, a lucky fangirl had the opportunity to go on stage to interact with G-Dragon. When asked about her favorite BIGBANG member, this fangirl hesitated between two choices: G-Dragon and Seungri.

Looking at her expression, netizens could guess that she was leaning towards Seungri's "bias", but because she was standing in front of G-Dragon, she was clearly confused. Not wanting to make the fan feel awkward, G-Dragon was determined to... hug her. The moment above made the Kpop fan community scream and be jealous even though nearly a decade had passed. Right in the comment section, many people exclaimed that it was G-Dragon who "saved" the fangirl from Seungri.
