G-Dragon is the Man

Korean Pop music and videos are all very entertaining. They are cute and choreographed song and dance. Usually there are between 5 and 12 members in every pop group and all of the music is very catchy. The kids have pencil boxes and stickers and socks with everyone's faces on them. Big Bang is one of the most girl catching oohs ahhs and Oh my gosh bands. The kids love them, the teachers, both foreign and native swoon and make crazy nutty noises when G-Dragon is mentioned. G-Dragon is the main singer of the band Big Bang who has recently been making a few songs on his own. Adam and I personally think he looks a lot like a mix between GwenStefani and PINK who is a girl, but here, he is a legend.



I found the following from a 14 year old Korean Girls blog...I thought you may enjoy the information.

Kwon Ji Yong (stage name: G-Dragon) is the leader of Big Bang and a highly regarded singer-songwriter in the Korean music industry. His stage name originates from his first name; the G in his stage name coming from "지" (Ji) from his first name and Dragon coming from "용" (Yong) which means dragon in Korean. Since Big Bang's debut, he won 'Songwriter Award' in 2007 MKMF (Mnet Km Music Festival). His composing skill made Big Bang the only boy band which has a producer as a member after Seo Taiji & Boys and Deux in South Korea, both popular influential groups from the 1990s.

G-Dragon participated in the entertainment business ever since he was little. He came out on a popular children show called 뽀뽀뽀 (Bbo Bbo Bbo) and when he was seven years old, he was a member in little Roora. G-dragon has been trained by YG Entertainment since he was 12 years old along with fellow Big Bang member, Tae Yang. During their training, they were known as GDYB and have done collaborative work with other YG Family members such as the hip hop group Jinusean.

Although the group in general is considered fashionable, G-Dragon especially is regarded as having a great sense of fashion. He himself has shown his interest by stating his desire to major in fashion.

G-Dragon has also released his debut digital single on June 30th, 2008 and his solo album (most likely a mini-album) is in the works and is expected to be released sometime in 2009.

Pendent: Jiyong’s favorite type of cap on a star meaning: “To become a big star in the music industry.”
