On October 30, G-Dragon appeared as a guest on tvN’s “Your Block Quiz” and shared some of his life stories.
In the episode, G-Dragon said, “I had considered stopping releasing albums,” explaining, “I have lived as G-Dragon for over 20 years. I’ve only been ‘Kwon Ji-yong’ for about 5 years. I received so much love and lacked nothing, but I thought, “Am I really happy? I should be happy. Even though I received so much love, in my daily life off stage, I had never left the studio. Since I solved everything in the studio, my world was just there. It was like the movie “The Truman Show”. Things were so good at the time that it was difficult for me to ask for comfort. It would simply appear that I was greedy. I don’t think I could go back even if I tried.
Yoo Jae-seok then shared, “G-Dragon called me when he was in the army. He said, “Hyung, are you okay? I have some guys who really like you, so could you talk to them please? So I actually talked to them,” which made G-Dragon laugh.
G-Dragon replied, “These days, I’ve lived so much like Kwon Ji-yong that I need to find G-Dragon again. I feel like I’m getting back to my normal life. The many cameras, the makeup, the shaving and the wearing of elegant shoes to meet celebrities: I am now in the initial phase of the comeback, so I am guiding my steps with good humor. I’m about 10 years into my 20s, so I’ve lightened up a bit, in a good way. That’s why I feel ventilated, like the wind. After living a charmed life for more than half of my life, some situations that are not my fault come out of nowhere and I try to deal with them, but I feel cornered when I can’t find an answer. Then I felt trapped, with no way out and mentally drained, so I forcefully tried to get myself together. I didn’t want to repeat those difficult times like before. In the past, the problem seemed to be overcoming difficulties.”
G-Dragon also revealed the full story behind the incident where Jo Se-ho called him “Ji-yong-ah!” at a fashion show in Paris.
