G-Dragon Returns After 7 Years with ‘Power’, Dominating Global Charts

Singer G-Dragon has made a spectacular comeback with his new song ‘Power’, breaking a seven-year hiatus. This digital single, released for the first time since ‘Kwon Ji Yong’ in 2017, immediately climbed to the top tiers of domestic music charts like Melon, showcasing his enduring fame. It particularly hit number one on the real-time charts and secured the second spot on the daily charts on its release day.

G-Dragon’s global popularity remains strong. On November 1st, his new song topped the iTunes chart in 15 countries, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Finland, demonstrating his international appeal.

His new song ‘Power’ retains his unique hip-hop style while adding a fresh touch, delighting fans. Particularly, lyrics like “The second-generation limited edition is the masterpiece of the century” showcase G-Dragon’s trademark confidence.
