G-Dragon is attempting a change that is close to ‘drastic’.

After his debut, he had mostly been in ‘private mode’ except for his music activities, but now he is challenging himself on a variety show by putting himself at the forefront.

The fact that he will be leading the program as a host rather than a guest with a strong one-off personality is also drawing attention.

He will have a proper ‘plate’ through MBC‘s new variety show ‘Good Day’, which will be aired for the first time on the 16th. ‘Good Day’ is a music project in which G-Dragon completes the song of the year with people from various fields.

G-Dragon will take on the producing himself and portray the process of telling the stories of popular figures in the entertainment industry through music in a reality show. ‘Star PD’ Kim Tae-ho, who created ‘Infinite Challenge’, is in charge of directing.

The reason this program garnered attention is because it started with G-Dragon’s idea, and he participated in all aspects of the program, from planning to casting guests.

In particular, the lineup of stars from various fields that G-Dragon has painstakingly assembled is so spectacular that it can be called unprecedented.

Jung Hyung-don and Defconn, who showed great chemistry in ‘Infinite Challenge’, as well as Jo Se-ho, Code Kunst, Hong Jin-kyung, and Kian84, who are considered the ‘trends of the broadcasting industry’, will all be appearing.

In addition, actors Hwang Jung-min and Kim Go-eun, and the ‘88 Line’ consisting of Kim Soo-hyun, Jung Hae-in, Im Si-wan, Kwanghee, and Lee Soo-hyuk, who were all born in 1988, will all gather in one place.

As it is a music variety show, the lineup of K-pop stars is also spectacular. Global group Seventeen unit Boo Seok-soon and Espa, famous for being G-Dragon‘s ardent fans, have also joined forces, and chef Ahn Sung-jae, who rose to stardom with ’Black and White Chef‘, will also appear.

You can fully feel G-Dragon’s star power and global influence.

He attended the production presentation held online on the afternoon of the 13th and said, “When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a singer because I saw my senior singers gather in one place, on one stage, and singing one song in harmony, and even after becoming a singer, I wanted to be in a corner of places where only the ‘King of Singers’ gather,” and said, “Even if I‘m not a singer, if many colleagues gather, the viewers will have fun, and if I do something good, I think they will remember ’Good Day‘.”
