G-DRAGON’s Highly Anticipated Comeback After 7 Years Sparks Mixed Fan Reactions

After an extended break of 7 years and 4 months, G-DRAGON has made a striking return to the music scene with his latest single, “Power,” which debuted on the 31st. This new digital track enchants listeners through its infectious rhythms and powerful rap, demonstrating the compelling essence of hip-hop.

The clever and layered lyrics invite deeper contemplation, showcasing G-DRAGON’s lyrical ingenuity.

The day prior, on the 30th, G-DRAGON made a special appearance on tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block,” where he characterized “Power” as a celebration of strength. He remarked, “For me, power is music,” and reflected on the impact of media during his lengthy hiatus as an artist on the fringe. He elaborated that the song encompasses a variety of interpretations, including a satire on media influence and the necessity of blending different forms of power.

The music video accompanying the single has also been commended for its clever fashion choices and charisma, perfectly embodying G-DRAGON as “an icon of an era.”

Due to G-DRAGON’s limited activity during his break, listeners were enthusiastic to click play. Reactions to “Power” have varied widely.

Comments ranged from expressions of admiration such as, “As expected from G-DRAGON. Truly lives up to the title,” “This is undeniably a G-DRAGON track,” “The beat is exhilarating and top-notch,” to criticisms like “It feels dated,” “I wish the lyrics were more explicit,” “Did I set my expectations too high?” and “The beat is great, but feels like it’s missing the essence of a title track, I’ll wait for further developments.”

Interestingly, the music video includes snippets that seem to reveal the tracklist of G-DRAGON’s upcoming album, featuring titles like “Home Sweet Home,” “I Belong to You,” “Take Me,” “Too Bag,” “Bona Mana,” “Drama,” and “OYRO-DROP.”

Recognized as the first Korean artist to conquer both the Billboard World Albums Chart and the Oricon Digital Chart in Japan, all eyes are eagerly watching G-DRAGON as he sets out to achieve new legendary milestones with this pre-release track.
