(Xports News Reporter Kim Yu-jin) Singer G-Dragon appeared on the radio for the first time in 12 years and communicated with listeners, telling honest stories about song writing and his career as a singer.
G-Dragon appeared on MBC FM4U’s ‘Kim Eana’s Starry Night’, which aired on the 18th.
G-Dragon released his first new solo song in 7 years, ‘POWER’, on the 31st of last month.
On this day, DJ Kim Eana said to G-Dragon, who appeared on the radio for the first time in 12 years, “You went to ‘Starry Night’ in 2012. I met G-Dragon in private and I was really nervous. After the situation was ripe, I groveled and said, “I asked him to appear on ‘Starry Night,’ and he willingly agreed to appear,” he said, expressing his gratitude.
In his thoughts on his comeback after 7 years, G-Dragon said, “My head and heart are the same, but there were so many different feelings from before. Originally, when I saw the choreography, I would imitate it and learn it quickly, but this time, when I tried it again after learning it, I felt like I couldn’t follow it well. I was like, ‘Why can’t I get fit?’ “I thought about it,” he said, talking about the passage of time.
He said that it took a longer time to write the lyrics for ‘POWER’ than before, saying, “It wasn’t written all at once. The melody came out rather quickly to match the mood of the song, but maybe because the flow is unique, I had to add meaning or message while matching the lyrics, so it took longer than I thought.” He said.
He also told the story of his attempt at video editing himself.
G-Dragon laughed and said, “It’s not something to brag about, but the response wasn’t bad so I was worried. It’s my first time editing a video. I’m really serious about adding effects to SNS. I put my heart and soul into it.”

He continued, “But (posting on social media) is something I do as a personal hobby when I’m bored because it disappears quickly, but this time, seeing various versions of the clip on platforms other than videos, I tried it anyway for the first time. I’m not good at using machines, but I’m a real hand. “I tried maid editing,” he said.
Kim Ea-na mentioned G-Dragon’s early days when he debuted at the age of 19 and praised him for focusing on songwriting from a young age.
In response, G-Dragon said, “I didn’t do it because I was told to do it at that time. I had to work on a song to continue my activities or whatever else I did, so I was already doing it without anyone telling me. I think it can be seen as the company giving priority directions. “While working on the album, we did not consider which song would be the title song and which song would be the included song,” he explained.
He also said, “There was a time when I recorded a single sentence of lyrics for several days. These days, I tend to do it for a while and look at the overall picture.”
When asked by listeners, “Which do you pursue between perfection and completeness when working?” he responded, “I think the reference point is relative. If you pursue perfection, you won’t be able to complete it, and in order for it to be complete, you have to think it’s perfect by my standards, at least within myself. “I think it’s possible,” he said.
He also added about his usual work style, “I don’t say ‘I’m going to work today’ like on a schedule. I think I just keep working.”
‘Starry Night’ airs every Monday to Sunday at 10 PM.
