Jiyong is the vocalist/rapper of the group, alongside T.O.P. He is a widely-accepted and talented songwriter, having won the ‘Songwriter Award’ in 2007 from MKMF. Jiyong has taken on an active role of composing songs for Big Bang, such as their hit song 'Haru Haru'.
He was originally supposed to debut as a child hip-hop artist in hope of gaining fame, popularity, and success like Lil' Bow Wow and Lil' Romeo did in the states. However he was unable to release an album and was limited to only appearing in YG artists’ albums. On January 2001, Jiyong debuted on the album, “Daehanmingook Hip-Hop Flex” as a rapper. He was later recruited with TaeYang (태양) to act in JinuSean’s MV as their minis, which happened on February of the same year.
Afterward he began to train for his planned debut as the hip-hop group, GDYB, with Tae Yang. During his training, he was already featured on songs and appearing in MVs by Perry, Se7en, JinuSean, Masta Wu, Wheesung, YG Family, Gummy, Swi.T, and Lexy. GDYB was allowed to release 2 songs for YG Family’s second album and appear alongside Se7en for the World Cup, but they, unfortunately, were never able to release an album nor debut. In 2004, both Tae Yang and Jiyong were listed as YG’s fresh, new faces and was scheduled that year. However, those plans were quickly cancelled by Hyun Suk, who had planned on forming a 4-6 member group. It wasn't until 2 years later, in 2006 YG Entertainment Inc. stated that Big Bang was finally able to announce their official debut. All the members of Big Bang are G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Seungri, and Daesung.

I'm just wild and young, do it just for fun
Hello
Yes sir I'm one of a kind
난 재주 많은 곰 no, 곰 보단 여우
Hello
Yes sir I'm one of a kind
네 형 네 누나 (아 왜 그래요) 아이고 심심하구나 (여보세요?)
네 형 네 누나 (아 왜 그래요) 아 잘나가서 아 죄송해요
전화 한 통이면 달려가 1988-0818번 (call me)
어머나 누구나 좀 말려봐 난 연예가 일급 사건
남 다르니까 그게 나니까 뭐만 했다 하면 난리라니까
유행을 만드니까 다 바꾸니까 그니까 이 실력이 어디 어디 갑니까?
Get back 이건 장난 아냐
Young and rich that's 나란 말이야
It's so unfair, so what, 어떡해?

among other iconic things gd has invented/pioneered for the kpop category:
• kpop idol lightsticks
• high end brands collabing with kpop idols
• 90% of the looks idols wear now
• heavy (eye) makeup on male idols(!!!)
• genderless fashion for male idols
• brightly and variantly colored hair on male idols, with bright red, pink, orange, platinum, and multicolored+bridges as the most defining trends
• literally every korean male hairstyle trend for the last 13 years
• k-idols collabing with western artists
• k-idols having control over their music, producing, being allowed to write their own music
• “lining up” the charts- nobody had done it before- g dragon invented lining up the whole albums songs on the chart with his first solo album, and since that album has managed to do it with every solo comeback since.
• underground rappers entering the idol industry (not GD, but gd was the one who brought TOP, an underground rapper, into the group)
• the “mini-album” for big bang
like he said himself. he’s the Manual
@wabalabadubdub

edit: it's 2022. still one of a kind
Edit again: it’s 2023, g dragon still one of a kind

Watching this MV again in 2024, and I still think GD is really one of a kind.
@primihu1347
Still watching
@Guess-vf1jn
Agree 👍🏻
@TheIJP123
GD is still, without a doubt, one of the best artists to ever come out of the Kpop industry. No one really compares in terms of individuality.
