From “The Infinite Challenge” to “My Refrigerator”… Who else fell for GD as “TV entertainer”?


[OSEN=??? ??] BIGBANG’s G-DRAGON has captivated not only Korea but also the entire world with his charisma on the stage, which overwhelms the audience. However, G-DRAGON is recently showing off his hidden wits in TV shows. TV viewers have fallen for the new and fresh appeal of G-DRAGON as a “TV entertainer”.

G-DARGON appeared in JTBC’s “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator” show aired on the 31 last month with BIGBANG’s another member TAEYANG. GD decided to appear in the show at the provocation of MC Jung Hyeong-Don who introduced himself as “G-DRAGON’s elder brother”, saying, “GD you have to appear in our show if you want to make any complaint”. From the very opening, the “bromance” between the two stood out.

After the introduction of guests, TAEYANG and G-DRAGON walked toward the stage and Jung Hyeong-Don gave his back to GD, suggesting that he will hold GD on his back. GD recognized what Jung meant and the scene of Jung holding GD made viewers wear a satisfied smile.

Soon however, the tension between the two began. G-DRAGON introduced himself as “G-DRAGON’s ex”, and Jung said, “G-DRAGON is not a genius but a hard-worker. I think his fashion today is so-so”. To Jung’s question “Did you decide to finally appear in our show because I was so funny?”, GD answered, “Who is Jung? I decided to appear in this show just because the program itself is funny”.

The “hilarious chemistry” between the two began like this. After TAEYANG criticized that G-DRAGON has a big mouth, Jung made full use of that. Every time when a suspicious stuff was discovered in TAEYANG’s refrigerator, Jung looked at GD’s mouth.

Notably, when rubber gloves and a tomato were discovered in the refrigerator out of the blue, Jung asked G-DRAGON to write down where they came from, wearing a suggestive smile. G-DRAGON did not hesitate to pick up the pen, making TAEYANG nervous. The Jung-GD combi was the largest contributor for the fun of the day’s episode of “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator” show.

G-DRAGON’s talent in entertainment TV shows has long been proven. Recently, such a talent all the more stood out when he performed in MBC TV’s “The Infinite Challenge”. Since 2011, GD has performed in the music festival of “The Infinite Challenge” every two years, performing with Park Myeong-Soo, Jung Hyeong-Don, and Hwang Kwang-Hee to make the show funnier and richer.

When GD performed with Park Myeong-Soo, he was just supporting Park, but two years later, GD boasted his wits shown in his bromance and chemistry with Jung. When he partnered up with Hwang Kwang-Hee last month, GD proved his growth as a TV entertainer, taking a leading role in talking and overall hosting of the show.

Fans are of course hailing for GD’s easygoing and funny appeal shown in TV shows despite his long-standing image as a world star with a formidable aura. Not only those fans but also other people who have understood GD as just a singer are falling for GD as a TV entertainer.
