Singer G-DRAGON held the first complete gathering for the 19th anniversary of a current idol through his YouTube channel '집대성,' reminding everyone of his status as a living legend.
Last week, G-DRAGON's YouTube channel '집대성' released the 'BIGBANG 19th anniversary home party' in two parts, with a preview on the 19th and the main episode on the 22nd. The video that first featured the full BIGBANG group 9 months ago has now recorded 15.8 million views, while the video of the members reuniting for the 19th anniversary has surpassed 2.3 million views within only two days, creating a hot topic.
In this video, G-DRAGON appeared with Taeyang and Daesung as the complete BIGBANG, delighting fans. Additionally, friends who rushed to congratulate them, including CL, SEVENTEEN's Hoshi, actor Ko Kyung-pyo, Son Na-eun, singer Vince, dancer Ducky, and Donnie, added to the enjoyment.
Among them, G-DRAGON caught attention by transforming into 'MC G-DRAGON' for the first time since his debut. Although he was filled with nervousness as it was his first time as an MC, he introduced the members with a playful tone, saying, "I will call out to my brothers, inspirations, and dear inspirations. Inspiration~," followed by his witty remarks that elicited laughter.
In particular, G-DRAGON, along with the members, created a comfortable and high-tension atmosphere that captivated viewers. He reacted enthusiastically to every comment from Taeyang, while also smiling with satisfaction at Daesung's MC skills, creating a warm scene. Furthermore, when Daesung praised him by saying, "You did really well today, brother, really," G-DRAGON couldn't hide his happiness by replying, "Of course I did~," making viewers smile.
Moreover, to commemorate BIGBANG's 19th anniversary, G-DRAGON entered a memory room prepared by the production team, reminiscing with the members over their debut albums and photos. From the SES cross-dressing done during their first solo concert in 2006 to group photos taken at Taeyang's recent concert, the scene of the three gathering to look through cherished moments warmed hearts. Additionally, they recreated old photos in the same way, delivering an emotional experience to fans for the 19th anniversary.
Most importantly, G-DRAGON raised expectations by mentioning the upcoming BIGBANG 20th anniversary next year. He said, "I have so much to draw for the 20th anniversary that it's a problem. As I draw, it becomes a picture," to which Daesung noted that he is carefully preparing for the adult ceremony, stirring anticipation.
G-DRAGON is currently holding his third world tour 'G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Übermensch]' starting from Korea, having completed tours in 12 cities so far. Following Las Vegas on August 31, he is set to continue the U.S. tour in Los Angeles and will also host a world tour in France, Paris. Additionally, along with the world tour, a media exhibition 'G-DRAGON MEDIA EXHIBITION: Übermensch' will be held in Hong Kong until September 7, and in Osaka, Japan, from August 30 to September 15.
