Oddness/Weirdness

G-Dragon recently teamed up with Glaceu Vitamin Water to be their most recent spokesperson and has already released a series of commercials for the brand.  Next up for GD ?  A Cosmopolitan   Magazine spread (and interview) featuring him as what I take to be a mad scientist, cooking up some of that good old Vitamin Water.

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that G-Dragon is one stylish mother f-er.  When on stage, or out promoting, G-Dragon's outfits can veer from moderately outlandish to extreme eccentricity; he's in your face and he likes it that way.  But when he's out and about, hitting up those invitation only parties as GD , or at the airport as plain old Kwon Ji Yong, he's a tad bit more subdued... up to a point. Today is all about off-duty G-Dragon, but I like him any which way.  How about you?

On May 29, GD and YB , along with their good friends 2NE1 , showed up to the opening of the new Chrome Hearts  in Shinsegae department store in Seoul today.  This was a VIP only event, so only the coolest of the cool were in attendance. This post is image heavy.

2NE1 CL 's solo album debut is fast approaching , and I've got some fun news about that.  Seems as if her label mates and bffs GD and YB will be helping her out with her mv for her upcoming single.  How fun is that?

As of earlier today G-Dragon has completed his two days of concerts in Beijing, China.  His good chingu Seungri was there to party with him and give his sprained ankle some much needed rest.  Are you curious to see what went on?  Well I've got tons of gorgeous HQ pics and some fancams for you, so what are you waiting for?  Go look!

I've been slacking lately.  I say I'm all about blogging about G-Dragon AND SHINee but I've mostly been blogging about SHINee lately.  Shame on me, right?  This is partly because GD has been doing his concert thing, which YG Entertainment has been blocking fancams of left and right.  That sucks, dudes. Besides releasing his " MichiGO " mv , GD has mostly been seen posting tons of stuff on Twitter and Instagram and that's about it.  What really inspires me about GD is his fashion , but lately I haven't been as inspired (imho Thom Browne suits are cute as hell on him but come on).  This, however, shouldn't stop me from posting about all some of the random stuff he does, since I'm supposed to be blogging about GD .  Jeezzz...  So without further ado: UPDATED: with the full press con. G-Dragon at his One of a Kind concert press con in Beijing

The day has finally come, even though I thought it would never get here.  I'm talking about the fact that G-Dragon has finally released the mv for " MichiGO ", but it was certainly worth the wait, don't you think?  Let's take a look, but make sure you watch it in HD to really appreciate the pops of color.

Guest Blogger Week continues with a post from my good chingu Stormy of Under the Radar! , who I've known for awhile.  In fact, she (along with Stephe of CloudUSA ) was instrumental in my decision to start blogging, so thanks guys! :hugs: Stormy is an avid music lover and die hard Shawol who got into Jpop in 2007, segued into Kpop in 2009 and hasn't looked back since.  Stormy started out writing for her blog   My Music Radar!  but has taken a brief hiatus from there for medical reasons and is currently blogging on her Tumblr  Under the Radar! .   She hopes to return to  My Music Radar!  soon, so look out for that.

G-Dragon was spotted shopping on the streets of Harajuku, Japan the other day and I was instantly captivated by his outfit.  You know I love me some of GD 's style but he really  made me do a triple take with this one.  I'm referring to this high/low shirt dress and leggings combo he was sporting on April 10th: GD on Instagram: 겨울이가고봄이찾아오죠 Trans: Winter is gone, spring has arrived (Lyrics from Blue)

G-Dragon kicked off his " 2013 G-Dragon World Tour: One of a Kind " on the 30th of March and has received his fair share of kudos and accolades from industry friends and fans alike. I was all set to make an epic spam post about the concerts, featuring a ton of fancams and pics.  Imagine my chagrin when I realized that YG Entertainment was systematically taking down almost all videos of the concert that they could find on YouTube.  A lot of the accounts associated with those videos were also deleted for multiple counts of copyright infringement.  I was pretty surprised about this, since all fancams of Big Bang 's last tour are "alive" and well, including my fancams of Big Bang's Alive concert in New Jersey . So today I'm bringing you the gorgeous HQ pics with the few good fancams that are still to be found (I'm guessing they're still there because they were recently uploaded).  Make sure you watch quickly; who knows how long they'll be

Yesterday I talked about SHINee at Seoul Fashion Week , but today I'm bringing you some  G-Dragon .   GD hit up designer Kathleen Hanhee Kye 's F/W 2013 fashion show on March 28th for her brand, KYE .  He took with him 2NE1 's CL and his bffs model Lee Soo Hyuk and  2NE1 's former stylist  Yang Seung Ho (aka Yangaeng ).  Check it:

G -Dragon updated his Instagram and LINE accounts today with pics of him wearing a hoodie and plaid by a brand called Pyrex Vision .  Wondering why he's facing backwards so resolutely in both pics?  Check it out: ¥$£ #gd #oneofakind #ygstudio #pyrex #bape

G-Dragon is a busy man.  He's got the release of his new album coming up, he's embarking on a solo tour soon, AND he's working on an mv for a new song.  The song is titled " MichiGO " (which is a pun on the words "crazy" and "go") and it will be debuted at his first concert in Seoul on March 30th.  You know this means the guy has been attending all kinds of shootings and rehearsals and he might even still be putting the finishing touches on his third album.  Craziness.

I know the G-Dragon posts have been few and far between on this blog recently, but it's been kind of quiet on that home front.  That's all about to change, because Jiyong 's new album will soon be released and he'll be heading out on his  One of a Kind World Tour .   The GD extravaganza kicks off March 30th and I, for one, cannot wait! As mentioned before , GD will also be releasing a  "One of a Kind" dvd collection  on April 2nd, which means that before long you'll be able to hear the rustling of hundreds of credit cards being brandished throughout the world.  You'll know it when you hear it. The teaser for the One of a Kind collection was released today, so here it is for your viewing pleasure:

By: Joan M. A recent article in a British newspaper pointed out that Korean men now wear a lot more makeup than they did a generation ago.  It has become more common for men to apply foundation and eyeliner before going out in the morning. I blame it all on the flower boys—not that I’m complaining. Actors such as Jang Geun Suk and singers such as G-Dragon regularly model for cosmetic and skin care companies, with the main selling point being their flower boy good looks. Jang Geun Suk for Nature Republic.

If you've followed this site for awhile, you're well aware that I usually fawn all over G-Dragon 's fashion, while not really paying attention to the other four members of Big Bang .  I do tend to think their airport style as a whole is relatively intriguing, even though there's usually at least one person wearing something that's just ok, if not downright scraggly (Yeah I'm talking about you,  Taeyang ).  Today, however, they all managed to capture my attention with the following airport style pics, which were taken on their way to Nanjing, China

GD & YB 's photoshoot from the March issue of Vogue Korea  was so epic that they had to make a bts video.  I'm certainly not complaining.

Earlier today, YG Entertainment announced that G-Dragon would be releasing a DVD collection for his album "One of a Kind" on April 2nd.  Umm, yeahhh... I'm probably going to have to buy this.  Here's all the info:

G-Dragon and Taeyang have taken to Instagram and Twitter to promote their pictorial in Vogue Korea's March issue.  This issue will be Vogue Korea's 200th issue so they celebrated with a hugely epic GD/YB editorial.  Want more?  Check out all the goodies here and here .   

Wow... Now this is what I call an editorial.  Take a look at the multitude of pics from G-Dragon and Taeyang 's Vogue Korea pictorial from the March issue.  These pics are low quality but I'll update with HQ images as soon as they're available. (This post is incredibly image heavy)
