*G-Dragon is planning on doing his solo album activities with many songs. It seems like the next song up is 'Breathe', which he has revealed the music video for it already; but he is also planning on promoting 'Boy' and 'Butterfly' at the same time on shows, and radios. They are planning on shooting music videos for 'Boy' and 'Butterfly too', and 'She's Gone' is one of the candidates that may be made into a music video. So, his plan is to do activities for 'Breathe' mostly, but also 'Boy', 'Butterfly' and 'She's Gone'. With many songs to do activities, this means that G-Dragon is planning on doing his solo activity promotions until the end of this year. http://news.donga.com/fbin/output?n=200909210200
*Some information from VOGUE Magazine's interview with Bigbang's stylist Jieun.
- The opinion of making GD's hair blonde at first came out about a year ago. He cut his hair that he was growing it and bleached his hair about four times to get the colour he wanted.
- G-Dragon's pants size: 28"
- Someone went to go buy some stuff at the Givenchy Paris showroom, and there was G-Dragon's picture where he was wearing a Givenchy shirt as the computer's background picture. They said that they saved the picture because they liked it and heard that he's(GD) a popular celebrity in Korea. http://www.style.co.kr/vogue/people/interv...011003030000014
*G-Dragon first on 'the issue makers' that Ceci(magazine) picked.
Some comments by experts:
-Artist that you cannot take your eyes off, G-Trend.by Jaeil Planning Art Director Kim Jongmin
-All the compliments and criticism he's receiving is too much for him when you think he's only twenty-one.
That's why this year's even more important for him. by Jaechun International Movie Awards Marketer Kang Sunjoo
-He's very talented in combining his style and the characteristics of his album. He definitely should be acknowledged as a 'visual' icon.
It was plagiarized. It wasn't. It was just an inspiration. Trend. In the middle of these swaying criticism he recorded 17.5% on the momentary audience shares that we haven't seen for music programs in years.by OnStyle Joo Jiyoung
-What did I do when I was twenty-one.....? by Pable Post Manager Min Taeyoung
-The boy that used to shout out 'My age, thirteen' has dominated the music charts as soon as he released his solo album.
He's in the middle of all this criticism, but you have to acknowledge his impact.by Photographer Choi Donghoon.

*G-Dragon said, "I'm a little lonely because I'm doing these activities by myself. But I'm okay because my fans fill up that loneliness for me." When we asked about this album's fashion concept GD answered "Usually there has to be a different concept for each song, but this time I'm planning to show many sides of myself with no fixed concept." Then the MCs said "They call people who are extremely interested in their own interests but those who don't care much about love relationships 'herbivorous men'. What do you think about the rumors that are saying that you are the typical 'herbivorous man'." GD answered "I don't know for sure, but I've heard that 'herbivorous men' are men who take care of themselves. I think it's somewhat true." Then the MCs asked "Do you not care about love relationships?" and GD answered "I'm very interested". http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=200909271958501002
*When we asked Jung Junho(actor, in Iris) what TOP was like he answered, "He's very quiet and has great passion for acting. He comes to the shooting scene very early to prepare and he's very shy." http://star.mt.co.kr/view/stview.php?no=2009092719481302550
*Kim Janghoon(male singer) complimented Bigbang by saying, "Young singers, including idol groups, have improved vastly in their performances. I was very surprised of Bigbang's efforts and passion for their performances. They were very good at arranging the songs. Their performances were so good, that I even thought that I wasn't needed to help with directing." http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=200909281631531002
