G-Dragon’s Return to the Spotlight

On October 30, the iconic rapper G-Dragon, from the legendary K-pop group BIGBANG, made a highly anticipated guest appearance on tvN’s “You Quiz On The Block.” This not only marked his return to the music scene with a solo album after a staggering seven years but was also his first variety show appearance in a remarkable 12 years.

Reflecting on His Journey

During the show, G-Dragon reflected on his extraordinary journey in the music industry, saying, "I started as a trainee at six and debuted when I was 19. I only lived as Kwon Ji Yong for four or five years and as G-Dragon for over 20 years. I didn’t know who I was." His candidness resonated with viewers, emphasizing the personal struggles behind the glitzy façade of celebrity life.

Fans React to His Voice Transformation

Shortly after the episode aired, clips of G-Dragon began to circulate on various social media platforms, with a particularly engaging snippet racking up over 1.4 million views on TikTok. Fans were pleased to see G-Dragon’s signature shyness, a trait that remains unchanged despite the time away from the spotlight.

Speculations About His Voice Change

However, what truly caught fans off guard was his voice transformation. Comment sections erupted with speculation as many aficionados noted a noticeable shift; G-Dragon's voice sounded deeper and raspier than they remembered. Comparisons were made to his fellow BIGBANG member T.O.P, and some even joked that he sounded like he was channeling YG himself.

Possible Reasons for the Transformation

Netizens were quick to speculate on the reasons behind this transformation. While some believe that age naturally deepened his voice, others pointed to potential habits, such as smoking, as a contributing factor. There’s also a theory that G-Dragon might naturally modulate his voice according to his surroundings, a phenomenon known as code-switching.

A New Chapter in His Career

This moment has sparked a wave of discussions within the K-pop community, with many fans expressing both nostalgia and curiosity about G-Dragon’s evolving artistry. As G-Dragon continues to surprise fans, his new single “POWER” promises to showcase the depth of his artistic growth as he navigates this significant chapter in his career.
