G-Dragon’s “Untitled 2014” MV accomplished something that’s normally impossible


G-Dragon‘s music video for “Untitled 2014” finished filming in under an hour, a feat that was considered impossible.

G-Dragon recently released his newest album, Kwon Ji Yong, achieved an incredible feat by finishing the filming for his music video in just one hour.

The director, Han Sa Min, expressed he wanted to convey the emotions behind the lyrics of the song, and so he took close-up shots of  G-Dragon emotionally performing it while he took close-up shots to capture the emotions.

He also spent two days on preparing multiple filming sets so that they could shoot several takes over a few days and choose the best scenes to put together, but filming schedules for the music video were cut short after G-Dragon finished it in just one take.

Filming a music video is said to take at least 2 to 3 days, as the sets are often changed throughout the filming, and resulting in multiple takes of the same scene. According to sources, filming a music video in under an hour is extremely rare, as well as filming the entire music video in one take.

According to the director, he never stopped filming G-Dragon convey his emotions while performing the song, and even canceled plans to shoot several more takes the next day, because he believed this one take was enough for the music video.

“There’s no need to film anymore. There are other sets prepared for tomorrow, but I don’t think we need to film anymore.”

[M+Hot Comeback] The Real G-DRAGON is Back with New Songs

[MBN스타=신미래 기자] The solo album of G-DRAGON has been revealed.

G-DRAGON’s solo album “KWON JI YONG” was released online at 6 PM today.

The album consists of five tracks: “UNTITED”, “KWON JI YONG”, “BULLSHIT”, “SUPER STAR”, and “NEW SONG”.

The title song “UNTITLED” has impressive a piano melody, and G-DRAGON sings about how he misses his ex in the slow beat song. It is quite a change from his usual strong rap songs.

His sad singing voice  touches the hearts of the listeners, especially in the chorus part that goes “if i can see you one more time, i can give up everything.”

“BULLSHIT”  is a powerful hip hop song as strong as the title. Even from the beginning of the song, G-DRAGON raps, “What is this bullshit? I have no idea. Go and bite them. I have my gang. Call them. It’s all bullshit”, and the strong lyrics combined with the powerful hip hop beat defines the tone of the song.

In the solo album, G-DRAGON tried to express the personal side of himself by singing about what he is worried about these days and the growth pains he’s been going through as a guy who just entered his thirties.

“KWON JI YONG” is not an album made to produce hit songs. It is an album that G-DRAGON made to do the music he wants to do now and talk about what he is going through as a regular person.
