Lee Hyori reveals that she wants to collaborate with G-Dragon: Fans expect a "big bang" for the new album

On June 28 (local time), a new episode of the YouTube show DdeunDdeun titled Sharing A Meal Is Just An Excuse officially aired.

This episode stars Lee Hyori and comedian Yang Se Chan in guest roles.

During the conversation, Lee Hyori shared about her efforts to connect with other artists, especially to cater to the new album project that is being cherished.

"I met the people I wanted to meet," Lee Hyori said. "I contacted them via text message because I didn't have their phone number."

Notably, she mentioned G-Dragon as one of the people she actively approached to propose a meeting. "He read the message and replied. He said that he wanted to do something together for this album. We have never worked on a project before," the singer revealed.

Not only mentioning her intention to collaborate, Lee Hyori also shared her personal feelings after watching G-Dragon appear on You Quiz On The Block. The singer expressed that she felt deep empathy for what the leader of BIGBANG went through.

"I saw him on You Quiz and felt we had a lot in common, even though we were very different," she said. "I can relate to the life experience of a top star."

Lee Hyori went on to mention G-Dragon's sharing of inner emptiness behind the aura. According to her, this is also an emotion that she has experienced, even though she has a career, finances and a happy family.

"He says he's done everything – making money, being famous – but still feels empty. I used to be like that, too. I have a great husband, but that feeling is still there, I don't know why."

She affirmed that she wanted to seek musical advice from sympathetic people, including G-Dragon, in order to devote herself to this album.

Lee Hyori and G-Dragon are both top icons of Korean music, not only because of their talent but also because of their strong musical personalities and distinct aesthetic tastes. While Lee Hyori is a typical representative of the pioneering generation of artists, always innovating and breaking the stereotype of female artists in Kpop, G-Dragon is considered the "king of creativity", who sets trends and is constantly reborn in music and fashion.

Although there is no specific information about Lee Hyori's new album or the release time, the fact that she actively contacted and received positive feedback from G-Dragon was enough to make the Kpop fan community excited.

With the "playability" and outstanding creativity of both, the combination of Lee Hyori – G-Dragon, if it becomes a reality, is expected to create a breakthrough music mark this year.

Although there is currently no specific confirmation of Lee Hyori and G-Dragon collaborating on the new album, the sincere sharing from the female singer has sparked a wave of heated discussion in the fan community. Every small move by both artists is now being closely watched, while music forums have begun to "predict" all possibilities from music genre, theme, to visual style if this combination becomes a reality.
