Let's put our hands together and welcome Korea's answer to Lady Gaga!!




Cloud's Crazy over G-Dragon (GD for short)..


Okies, a bit of background info..
GD's band leader of Big Bang --wildly popular band in Korea, the only band that can rival DBSK in terms of popularity stakes, but since their music, genre & styles are different.. There's no clashes in interest whatsoever..

I'm freeee to love them both..

2nd member from Big Bang to launch solo singing career.. I didnt notice him initially.. It was Taeyang who caught my attention. Big Bang didnt -occur to me as a typical boyband, cos looks-wise, they seriously dont have that boyband-ish look. Sure, they dance & sing.. Also rap..

But they certainly don't portray themselves as 5 perfect Prince Charmings, try their best to get into media pple's good books by saying all the nice things (official stuff), which kinda siann when u know ahhh, how can it be? Not possible right? Someone wrote the script for u right? Whenever i hear boybands/girl groups (esp those new ones) speak to media.




Love their music style..
They got an ATTITUDE.. The Korean Bengs??
Their trademark's dark eyeliner.
The smug i know u're lookin' at me but i die-die don't want to smile & act cool look.
The i know i'm cool so what? if u dun like come get me type of expression..

Okies, so by now u should get an idea why i say it wouldnt be fair to give them the label 'boyband'..

Back to topic:
GD's Heartbreaker & Breathe.. His styling (esp hair color) resembles Lady Gaga, songs-wise the Euro beats resemble Britney.. Hehe..



Hence inspire my new msn personal msg: G-dragon's a cross between Lady Gaga & Britney..
Don't sound like a sound description for a guy.. Hehs..


But he's got the androgynous styling & makeup in his debut solo album, is it really an intentional attempt in marketing him as Korean's answer to Lady Gaga?
Some say the album concept reminds them of Deathnote.. Yeah, the apple.. Plus dark eye makeup on whitish face paint -just like L..
Don't quite look like a normal being..
The white version of GD took me sometime to get used to..
He's 'normal' look is not like this, definitely not always like this cos he'd gone thru a gazillion transformations over the years --some horrendous while some were really fashionable..

[to insert several pics, edit: i finally did, several months later =p]

G-dragon on the cover of Nylon magazine..
Never got to lay my hands on this magazine.. Seriously OUT of Stock.. wth.. Want to buy online also nt possible cos suppliers ran out of copies..
Yeah, he's THAT POPULAR~



His Heartbreaker album pics wouldn't look out of place in Vogue or some other fashion magazine..
And i think the angmohs wouldn't be able to tell that this model isn't female, under so much makeup & all..
Online news forums have dubbed him the 'male version of Lady Gaga'
What title should we give him????
'Gentleman G-Dragon'?!?! Lols.. Don't suit his badass fierce attitude-problem pai-kia image..


Nevertheless, i still LIKE.. Korean songs are usually heavily influenced by Western music..


Technically speaking, it's not plagarism..

Btw, I came across this interesting line:
ORIGINALITY IN THE CREATIVE WORLD IS OVER-RATED.

Cool!!

[Will be back to edit with more pictures]

It's a MUST.. must showcase the Heartbreaker album photos which i quite like.. Unique (It's GD's Trademark), funky style, EDGY, uber-trendy..
Oozing attitude~~

Meanwhile, i shall continue swaying to the catchy song Heartbreaker, ringing in my head since yesterday when i first heard the song..

But i arent sick of it, now my hp ringtone & sms tone are all G-Dragon songs!!!

Yo my, heart heart heart heart, heartbreaker.. No way, no wayyyyy..
