G-Dragon, born Kwon Ji-yong, emerged as a formidable force in the K-Pop scene with his electrifying music. As the charismatic leader of the legendary group Big Bang, he has spearheaded their meteoric rise to global stardom.
G-Dragon's solo career has been equally remarkable. His debut album, "Heartbreaker," shattered sales records upon its release in 2009. Subsequent albums such as "One of a Kind" and "Coup d'Etat" further cemented his status as a musical innovator. His versatility spans genres, from hip-hop to R&B, electropop to rock.
Artistic Challenges and Controversies
G-Dragon's artistic vision has often sparked both admiration and controversy. His bold experimentation with fashion and gender fluidity has drawn both praise and criticism. Notably, his 2013 single "Crooked" faced accusations of misogyny, leading to a brief hiatus from public life.
Discography Highlights
Among G-Dragon's many musical triumphs, his collaboration with BLACKPINK's Rosé on the poignant track "Without You" stands out. The song's haunting melody and evocative lyrics resonated with listeners worldwide.
