BIGBANG’s G-Dragon on the group’s current dynamics

In the latest issue of Elle Korea, BIGBANG's G-Dragon candidly discussed the current dynamics among the group members. Reflecting on this, G-Dragon revealed, “Now there are three of us”. He further went on to shed some light on their interactions, sharing that they seldom discuss the current dynamics between themselves during their gatherings.

He said that instead, their conversations naturally gravitate towards topics of mutual interest or those currently in the spotlight. Meanwhile, G-Dragon was recently seen supporting his group mates on their solo endeavors. He encouraged Taeyang for his recent album release and attended Daesung's fan meeting earlier this spring. Regarding their competition with industry juniors, G-Dragon said that they often wondered, “Wouldn’t it be difficult for us to deal with our juniors?”
