[Star of the Week] G-Dragon’s Best Collaborations


While it’s great to see G-Dragon partying it up with Big Bang members on stage, it’s even more awesome seeing some of the interactions that the leader has with other K-Pop singers.

G-Dragon had many collaborative performances with some of the hottest stars in the K-Pop scene, so we share with you some of our favorite collaborations with G-Dragon.


2NE1’s CL


The winners of our We Got Married poll is up first.

When G-Dragon and CL come together, an unexplainable presence that can only come out from the leaders of Big Bang and 2NE1 appears and fills an empty stage.

Having worked on the track The Leaders together, also featuring 1TYM’s leader Teddy, G-Dragon and CL took control of the stage with their fierce rapping at one end-of-the year music ceremony in 2009.

While they sauntered around the stage with no flashy choreography or actions, the pair took over the stage and made it their own.


2NE1’s Sandara Park


Although they’re four years apart in age, G-Dragon and Sandara Park went together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong (Sorry, Grease reference. Couldn’t resist) putting on an awesome performance of G-Dragon’s Hello at his Shine a Light concert.

Maybe the special chemistry that exists between them is because Sandara Park’s ideal man used to be G-Dragon in the past, mostly because G-Dragon helped carry her snowboard at one point. But now they’re just good nuna and dongsengs, who put on fun performances together.


Park Myung Soo


No one really believed it when Park Myung Soo asked to collaborate together on MBC’s Infinity Challenge G-Dragon would actually say yes and do an amazing job while juggling all of his busy schedules with Big Bang.

G-Dragon, who becomes super serious when it comes to music, was able to patiently accommodate Park Myung Soo’s pickiness and fear of trying something completely new.

Taking both G-Dragon’s and Park Myung Soo’s styles and jamming them together somehow, they created the perfect summer song of 2011, beautifully decorated by Park Bom’s voice as well.


Wonder Girls’ Sohee


We want to go ahead and say that Big Bang and Wonder Girls’ collaborations were one of the most highlighted performances in 2007 with both groups soaring in popularity with Lies and Tell Me.

Among the different pairings between the two groups, G-Dragon’s chemistry with Sohee was especially noted. With their adorable interactions and expressions, the two singers were so loved by fans that rumors of the two singers dating even appeared.


Big Bang’s T.O.P


How can we forget this epic duo?

When the two rappers of Big Bang announced that they would perform together as GD & T.O.P, so much anticipation was created, and we’d like to think that the all of our expectations were met.

Together, G-Dragon and T.O.P, not only flashed their crazy hairstyles and luxurious brand name items, but brought down the stage with their never ending energy and presence full of class.


Big Bang’s Taeyang


Best friends for life.

G-Dragon is not G-Dragon without his Youngbae and Taeyang is not Taeyang without his Jiyong.

They’ve know each other since they were little kids and now they’re taking over the K-Pop world with their friendship still intact.

Whenever one releases a solo, the other is sure to feature in it, proving their everlasting friendship, as well as providing fan service for the V.I.Ps.

We love this pair and hope they continue to be a great support to each other’s music careers.

So there you have it.

Some of G-Dragon’s best collaborations in his careers.

Which ones are your favorites and what other collaborations can you think of?

[Star of the Week] G-Dragon’s Top Issue-Making Lyrics


G-Dragon certainly knows how to grab the people’s attention, and when he’s not doing it with his hair or his fashion forward looks, he’s doing it with pen and paper.

The Big Bang leader is well known for his songwriting skills as he’s written the lyrics to numerous Big Bang songs as well as his own solo tracks.

And now he′s raising eyebrows with his Rated R single That XX.

But this isn′t the first time G-Dragon has stirred the pot with his lyrics, so we’ve sifted through numerous G-Dragon-penned tracks and gave them a good listen to uncover some of his top issue-making lyrics.


This Love


G-Dragon’s solo track, This Love, on Big Bang’s first album Big Bang Vol. 1, which was released in 2006, caused quite a stir among fans because of a few lines in the song that suggested the song was about G-Dragon’s ex-girlfriend at the time.

The first line that clued listeners in on the possibility of the song being about a certain girl was the following:

September 19th, Your birthday.

The kicker, however, comes at the end of the song, where G-Dragon mentions a letter that fans presumed was the initial of the ex-girlfriend’s name :

Hey J look at me
After your left it ain’t the same
I’m not what I used to be

At the time of the song’s release, fans ran with the hints(?) and attempted to uncover the identity of this mysterious ex-girlfriend.

A little childish, yes, but isn’t that what puppy love is all about?



GD&TOP’s Intro


Fans took to making an issue out of another lyric G-Dragon wrote, possibly referencing another girlfriend, for the intro track on the GD&TOP album.

I’m short, but my girl is tall



GD&TOP’s Don’t Go Home


The title is considerably racy, especially considering their idol group roots, but GD and T.O.P were out to prove they were all grown up in the sexually suggestive, 19-and-over track Don’t Go Home.

Turn the lights down low, You and I make eye contact
I undo my button slightly, Mouth dry, I close the door

Whew, the lyrics certainly aren’t your traditional Big Bang chatter, but we don’t mind G-Dragon and T.O.P’s Boys II Men moment. Not at all.



One of a Kind


For the amount of love G-Dragon receives from his fans, he also has his fair share of haters, and he set out to tell them like it is in with his latest single One of a Kind.

And, basically, what it is, is G-Dragon’s the sh*t. Except we don’t hate him for it. We love him, actually — for being so bold.

Because I’m different, Because that’s me, Because everyone goes crazy over everything I do
Because I set trends, Because I change everything, So how far can my skills go?
Get back, This isn’t a joke, Young & rich, That’s me
So I’m fast, So what, It’s okay, Are you kidding me? I’m no joke

G-Dragon doesn’t sugarcoat it when he continues with talk about his moneymaking skills in the following lines:

Yeah I’m busy busy?
My business grows money trees
I don’t rest, My songs raise buildings, I love it.

Yes, it’s a little in-your-face, but, for better or worse, he speaks the truth.

[Star of the Week] G-Dragon


It′s another week, another Star to highlight!

We′ve seen your likes, Tweets and hits - which made choosing this week′s Star of the Week relatively easy!

That′s right - it′s the 'One of a Kind' star, G-Dragon.

Though he′s best known for his work with ultra-popular group Big Bang, there′s no denying that G-Dragon is recognizable even without his group members.

Though he just turned 24, G-Dragon has a slew of number one hits, both with Big Bang and without, has become noted as one of the most fashionable idols in the biz, and is acclaimed for being a songwriter and producer.

This past week, the young star released his One of a Kind video, which has already hit over 9 million views (and is very close to hitting 10 million) - and that′s not all he′s been doing.

He′s been named as the head producer behind YG′s mysterious new girl group, taken over charts with THAT XX , which also racked up over 2 million views on Youtube, and celebrated Big Bang′s 6th anniversary.
