He told me what music is, what fashion is and what art is!
20 10 MAMA award ceremony, let me know about this Asian group BIGBANG.
TOP's sharp eyes and amazing face value, TAEYANG's melody and dance skills, GD's typhoon and rap skills all attracted me deeply.
I didn't expect Korean music to develop to this extent!
My favorite of the five members is GD. As for him, he is not the kind of idol that you can fall in love with at first sight. His fashion style, rap and melody all need time to savor.
In addition, GD is also the musician with the highest royalty among Korean artists. Whether it is his solo or group album, he participates in writing and composing.
How can such a GD, which integrates creative talent, face value and trend, not make people crazy?
Let's talk about the albums released after GD and BIGBANG20 10.
Friends, have you ever heard of the unique?
This song is an opportunity for GD and I to start a unilateral soul journey. It also allowed me to witness the whole process of GD sweeping across Asia and affecting the world.
At that time, the first feeling of listening to this song was that it was not good, because it was too avant-garde, but it was full of doubts?
One kind mainly wants to express that he is unique and is called the leader of the times because of his strength. Young and frivolous, because he is talented and rich, he compares himself to a talented bear, and the fox is more appropriate.
Because of the different cultural environment. Compared with China's rap, foreign countries prefer to brag about how rich they are. Especially in Europe and America, it's either hot girls or gangs.
This is also the reason why I listen to Hippop more abroad. Especially black rap, the feeling of SWAG, is carried in the genes, and other races generally can't learn it.
In the following two years, GD released two high-yield albums.
20 12-09- 15, released the album "1st extended play: Unique".
20 13-09- 13, released the album G-Dragon's second album: coup.
The two songs, Crayon and crooked, are included in these two albums respectively.
Crayon is the first Korean song I finally learned after listening to it hundreds of times, and it is also a must-sing song for KTV. "It can be said that as long as there are people who support me," Crayon "will definitely make the scene in an uproar."
Speaking of albums, I have to mention the album "Alive" containing Poké mon. This is a divine comedy that is popular all over the world. Whether you know BIGBANG or not, you must have heard the melody of this song somewhere in the street.
"Boumshakkaraka, Boumshakkaraka,
Wow, Poké mon.
And the number of videos played on YOUTUBE has exceeded 400 million!
Every time GD releases an album, he looks forward to his new look, whether it's SOLO or BIGBANG. But you will never guess every time, because he has refreshed people's fashion concepts again and again.
Whether it's the stolen goods of Poké mon, the streets of bad boys, or the sadness of blue. Even after listening to these songs for many years, you will still be attracted by them.
At that time, I played their songs and MVs in cycles every day, and then introduced them to my friends around me, which also made many friends fall in love with BIGBANG without knowing it.
Because GD is always promoted involuntarily, it is also affectionately called "Zhilong" by friends. Although ashamed, I am still very happy inside.
Of all BIGABNG's albums, the most memorable one is Made.
At that time, four albums of M, A, D and E were released, and finally a main album, MADE SERIES, was released.
I will never forget the day when I waited until midnight 12 to listen to new songs. I will listen to two songs at a time until 3 am, and then I will listen to the single for another month, waiting for the upcoming new album.
Among them, Bullshit and Untitled are the two most popular songs.
2065 438+08 big bang released the single "Flower Road" and then joined the army one after another.
Now, they are back, but many things have happened. Getting the five of them back together has become a difficult problem. But I'm still looking forward to bringing my youth to a perfect end.
Looking back on the two BIGBANG concerts I have seen before, I really remember them, and I want to watch them again. The age now and the memories of this decade must feel different!
Another team: GD &；; The songs of TOP and GDXTAEYANG are also famous in the field of HIPPOP. I am also influenced by GD &；; The influence of TOP, know more about Hippo and fall in love with Hippo.
GD is not only the global ambassador of Chanel brand, but also founded its own clothing brand: PEACEMINUSONE.
I believe everyone knows about daisies. Nowadays, no matter what clothes are on the internet, you will want to get in touch with some daisy elements. But the initiator of all this is GD!
20 19 co-branded Nike and launched Peaceminusone x Nike Air Force 1.
This pair of shoes can show the most perfect effect by tying the shoelaces backwards after graffiti.
GD's own fashion brand, although designed by GD artist and stylist GeeEun, fully presents GD's personal dressing style and fashion aesthetic concept. With black and white elements as the main tone, the style is simple and deeply loved by young people.
The middle picture was taken during Travis Scott X Nike 2020 Forum Show.
Among them are Simon Porter Jacques Moose, Stephane Ashpur, Travis Scott, Virgil Hablot, errol Sen Hugh, matthew williams, Yin An, Chitose Abe, Drake, Edison Chen, Hiroshi Fujiwara, GD, Tom Saxophone and Rosalia.
This is really an all-star king bombing lineup, and it is really a money-making alliance. It is also enough to explain GD's position in the fashion circle.
In fact, fashion is a reincarnation, and the most important thing is to have your own unique personality and unique style. Simple imitation is not eye-catching. At present, individuals prefer comfortable, simple and uniquely tailored clothes.
At present, GD has become an artist wholeheartedly. Hold art exhibitions, open coffee shops, manage clothing brands and design joint brands.
It's just that we fans are in pain. I had heard this album many times before I joined the army. I really look forward to another album by Brother Long, leading a trend revolution.
In fact, as early as 20 15, GD had already entered the field of design art. In that year, it held a solo exhibition "PEACEMINUSONE:Beyond the Stage" in Seoul Art Museum, exhibiting installation art, sculpture, art collection, photos and sketches.
20 19 August, the untitled art exhibition "untitled, 20 17" was held in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta and other cities. The exhibition shows a series of trendy works of art created by G-Dragon.
In addition, there are two coffee shops in GD. Specifically, it is a family, and one of them is no longer owned by GD.
Monsant cafe in Jeju island. 200 square meters of space is surrounded by transparent glass walls, creating an unparalleled panoramic natural view; One side of the glass window is close to the south and west of the coastline, and the scenery is very good; The external mirror can also reflect the surrounding beautiful scenery, which is definitely a unique scenery from a distance.
In addition, there is a "broken wall" behind the building, with a square mouth like a window, which is crumbling and very artistic.
Cafe was designed by Spanish design studio Platform a, and GD personally participated in the design creativity. Many artworks in it also reveal GD's personal taste.
Such a beautiful place is not owned by Brother Long now. That's a real pity.
On February 25th, 20 18, another coffee shop "untitled" held its opening ceremony, which was also GD's last trip before joining the army.
The appearance of the cafe is based on the logo of peaceminusone, and so is the table in the cafe. Cafe has several major features, namely: breathing flowers, GD's opening handprint, GD's personal signature, GD's own beer, and the graffiti wall painted by GD at the entrance of the cafe!
The cafe is so artistic, what will GD's home look like?
This is a photo taken when GD moved to Hannandong's super top-grade apartment, which was purchased at "9 billion won, 5179 million RMB".
As can be seen from the decoration, GD's home is full of artistic atmosphere.
Regardless of music, fashion or art, GD has always been the most interesting soul in my heart.
Many people in my life also ask me, why should I idolize?
Actually, I'm not idolizing, I'm chasing my dream. He is not only a singer, but also an artist and a dreamer. He brought me hopes and dreams, and he became my dream.
And my biggest dream is to be someone else's dream, to inspire others, to pursue others.
For me, it is no exaggeration to say that GD is a very important part of my youth and contains too many memories. Every song is a scene that will never be forgotten.
Ten years later, I hope to make myself better, so that I can be a fan of him all my life. Even though I'm not his best fan, GD is definitely my favorite star.
The article ends here, because GD's experience is too rich, even if it is published, it is exaggerated. So this article can only cover a few points. There are some other moves behind Brother Long, and I will continue to post them.
