G-Dragon Meets Yoo Jae-suk on First Variety Talk Show in 12 Years, Reveals October Comeback Details

As reported by TenAsia on September 12th, G-Dragon has officially confirmed his participation in the tvN talk show “You Quiz on the Block” (commonly known as “You Quiz”) and is currently finalizing his schedule. Following his first solo comeback in seven years, G-Dragon is anticipated to discuss his lengthy hiatus, his association with BIGBANG, and his solo career during the session on “You Quiz” .

Notably, G-Dragon shares a close relationship with “You Quiz” host Yoo Jae-suk. Throughout BIGBANG’s activities, the only variety program G-Dragon appeared on, aside from MBC Every1’s “Weekly Idol” , was MBC’s “Infinite Challenge” . He was a frequent guest on the “Infinite Challenge Music Festival” and even ventured into acting with appearances in the “Infinite Company” skits, showcasing his strong affection for the show. This bond with Yoo Jae-suk is believed to be one of the motivations behind G-Dragon’s choice of “You Quiz” for his first comeback appearance in seven years.

While G-Dragon has participated in short media interviews like JTBC’s “Newsroom” , this will mark his first appearance on a long-format talk show such as “You Quiz” since his last talk show in February 2012 on SBS’s “Healing Camp, Aren’t You Happy?” , creating a 12-year absence from this format.

G-Dragon’s scheduled comeback in October aims to end a seven-year hiatus since his last album, “Kwon Ji Yong” , released in June 2017. His fans are eagerly awaiting new music, and G-Dragon is committed to meeting their expectations with this return. In addition to new music and performances, he is contemplating appearances on variety shows, thus making a comprehensive return across different entertainment fields. His goal is to thoroughly satisfy the fans who have been looking forward to his comeback for an extended period.

Furthermore, G-Dragon has recently secured trademark rights for ‘G-Dragon,’ ‘GD,’ and ‘Ji-D’ from his previous agency YG Entertainment (as reported exclusively by TenAsia on August 1st), which will enable him to pursue his solo career independently.
