G-Dragon's newest single, POWER, has topped the iTunes chart in 15 countries, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Thailand. The song is also currently placed second on Korean music streaming platforms like Bugs, Melon, and Genie, ranking closely to Rosé's 'APT.' with Bruno Mars. Released on October 31st, the hip-hop track marks G-Dragon's comeback to the music scene after his 2017 EP, 'Kwon Ji Yong'.
The BIGBANG leader showed his satirical take on the power of media through his new song. Before the release of 'POWER', G-Dragon appeared on last week's episode of 'You Quiz on the Block' and said,
During my seven-year hiatus, I realized the incredible influence of media as a third-party observer.
In 2023, G-Dragon faced charges of drug use that were eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence. He tested negative for the drug tests and it was later revealed that the police tipped off the drug investigations to the press.
Meanwhile, fans have shown positive responses to G-Dragon's highly anticipated return. As a member of the second-generation K-pop group BIGBANG, G-Dragon has established a solid fanbase over the years, and everyone has high expectations of his new music.
- I listened to it on replay and it sounded different than the first time I listened to it..! The more I listened to it, the better it got and the MV was good too. Also, somehow, I feel like this song was the intro. I'll be looking forward to his upcoming releases
- It was just legendary. I can't judge it. I'm just getting goosebumps
- Please reveal all the songs now
- As expected, GD is GD
Sorry, but I have to be emo again 🥲 Cause I am actually hella emotional today. We have spent the last few years watching the world try to drag GD down. From stupid kpop stans trying to set him up like this kpop super villain, to misinformation, rumors and false information… pic.twitter.com/AVWBJnpx6b
