Big Bang’s G-Dragon: Heartbreaker

He’s the latest star in Korea’s hip-hop world. Kwon Ji-Yong, also known as G-Dragon, is the leader of Big Bang. I wonder where he got the name “G-Dragon” and what does the “G” stand for? G-Dragon’s music style is based on hip-pop, but I believe he’s also known for other genres combining pop, house, rap, hip-pop and jazz. And music isn’t all he’s known for either. G-Dragon’s sense of London street fashion seems to attract a lot of attention too. He writes in his autobiography, “for me, my fashion is not merely of clothes nor brands, but are wings to describe my identity. If music is the energy to drive myself, clothes are the sources which I can expand myself upon. if time permits, I want to work in the fashion industry one day while I write my songs, from time to time I design my own clothes.” Well, G-Dragon: You sure are unique with those wings of yours!
Here’s a recent broadcast of G-Dragon’s performance on YouTube:

as far as I know, G-Dragon is simply from his Korean name Ji Yong. Ji Yong becomes G-Dragon, since “Ji” sounds the same as “G”, and “Yong” can be translated as “Dragon”.
