According to TenAsia on September 12th, G-Dragon has confirmed his appearance on the tvN talk show “You Quiz on the Block” (hereafter referred to as “You Quiz”) and is currently coordinating schedules. After confirming his first solo comeback in 7 years, G-Dragon is expected to talk about his long hiatus, his relationship with BIGBANG, and his solo career on “You Quiz”.
In particular, G-Dragon has a close connection with “You Quiz” MC Yoo Jae-suk. During BIGBANG’s activities, the only variety program G-Dragon appeared on, apart from MBC Every1’s “Weekly Idol”, was MBC’s “Infinite Challenge”. G-Dragon was the most frequent guest on “Infinite Challenge Music Festival” and even challenged himself to acting by appearing in the “Infinite Company” skits, showing his deep affection for the show. This connection with Yoo Jae-suk is thought to be one of the reasons G-Dragon chose “You Quiz” for his first comeback appearance in seven years.
Although G-Dragon has had brief media interviews, such as with JTBC’s “Newsroom”, this will be his first appearance on a long-format talk show like “You Quiz” since his last talk show appearance in February 2012 on SBS’s “Healing Camp, Aren’t You Happy?”, marking a 12-year gap.
G-Dragon’s October comeback is set to break a seven-year hiatus since his last release, “Kwon Ji Yong”, in June 2017. Fans have been eagerly anticipating his new music, and G-Dragon plans to fully satisfy their expectations with this comeback. Alongside new music and performances, he is also considering appearances on variety shows, making a full-scale return across various fields. His commitment is to thoroughly quench the thirst of fans who have been waiting for his return for a long time.
In addition, G-Dragon recently received the trademark rights for ‘G-Dragon,’ ‘GD,’ and ‘Ji-D’ from his former agency YG Entertainment (as reported exclusively by TenAsia on August 1st), allowing him to continue his solo career freely.
