Recently, a video posted on G-Dragon's YouTube channel (Big Bang) has received the attention of fans. In the video, the male singer participates in experiencing a hypnosis session, rewinding his memories through each different stage of his life.
When the hypnotist asked him if he liked to be called G-Dragon or Kwon Ji Yong, he deeply distinguished the two titles: "The memories after debut are probably G-Dragon, and before debut is Ji Yong", the male singer implicitly separated the image of a global superstar from his true self.
Imagining himself walking down in a 37-story elevator, symbolizing 37 years of life, he began to recall recent memories.
When asked about his early 30s, he answered briefly but truthfully: "A feeling of suffocation. That was in the military.
Sharing shows that his emotional burden is associated with the period of compulsory military service, completely contrary to the brilliant image on stage that fans are still familiar with.
Looking back at the period from mid to late 20s, the male singer said: "It feels like a concert hall. I am very dynamic. I am flying." This expression depicts the peak of his career when he dominated global stages and shone in his most glorious time.
However, when the hypnosis session brought him back to his trainee days, the atmosphere changed. G-Dragon recalled himself in the gym with Taeyang (Big Bang).
I pay attention to others. There are many people, and we stand in a corner," he shared. That is a fleeting image of the teenager who quietly practiced in the dark before becoming a superstar.
When asked about elementary school, G-Dragon admitted that he was just a "normal person". But when asked if he had dreamed of becoming a singer at that time, G-Dragon answered without hesitation: "Yes. I like to dance".
His earliest memory is the trip to Japan with his mother. G-Dragon also emphasized that he received a lot of love from his parents when he grew up.
According to Daum, behind the glamorous name G-Dragon is Kwon Ji Yong - a boy who loved dancing, experienced the uncertainties of his internship, once felt pressure in the military, and then soared high on global stages.
Through the hypnosis session, the 37-year journey he opened up painted a sincere portrait of an artist who was tempered by both hardship and glory.
