G-DRAGON has finally opened up about one of the most challenging moments of his career. On the November 5 episode of MBC’s Son Suk-hee’s Questions, the BIGBANG leader reflected on the inspiration behind his October 2024 release, “POWER”.
Reflecting on the 2023 Drug Allegations
“A year before the album, I was involved in an incident,” he said, referencing the drug use allegations that made headlines in October 2023. Although he underwent police investigation, G-DRAGON was ultimately cleared when all test results returned negative, and the case was dropped with no charges filed.
🎶 The Creation of “POWER”
The album “POWER” became a vessel for his inner thoughts and frustrations. “I had no place to express my personal opinions or feelings. It was a mix of helplessness and emptiness,” he shared. Instead of holding a press conference or staging protests, he chose to channel the experience into music.
🗣️ Breaking His Silence Through Music
“There were times I thought about retiring. Living as a civilian seemed like an option, but I had no reason to run away.” He emphasized that rather than disappear, he wanted to reclaim his narrative through art. “POWER” became his way of quietly, yet powerfully, responding to the turmoil.
📺 Critique of the Media
G-DRAGON pointed to the media as the root of the chaos. “I wanted to satirize the media through my music. That’s one of the key messages in ‘POWER’,” he explained, revealing how he turned suffering into artistic fuel.
🤝 Establishing the 'Just Peace Foundation'
In a surprising move, he also announced the launch of the Just Peace Foundation, created during his comeback preparations. “As someone in this industry, I felt there should be an organization that supports artists who might face similar issues in the future.”
