Haha, I didn't notice it until you point it out. Maybe just because the GIF is too fast, we didn't
see anything as "grasshoper" in the MV, hehe.

and to be honest, i was really dissapointed with "Korean Dream", Tae Yang sounds great in the song, but i don't know....i didn't really like the song at all :S

Me too, in fact I hate it. TY's voice is great itself, so no need to change his voice like that.
This is the second song which I expect a lot besides THE LEADERS.
Thanks so much for the CAP. I definitely use it for my wallpaper ^^.


Now it's my spazzing time. I haven't posted anything this morning. Actually I'm kind of dissappointed
in this album, it's so club/electro ... or whatever you can call it. It's nothing new. Does anybody notice they always digitalize GD's voice when it comes to singin'. We all know that he's not that good at singing as he does with rappin', but seriously we're still prefer his PURE voice. My fav' so far is BREATHE & THE LEADERS, then HEARTBREAKER, the other songs are just so-so to me.

About HEARTBREAKER : Man, what can I say ?? He's look so fine. Seeing him right now, I can't belive that we all shocked by his blonde look before. I can't count how many outfit he wears. Is is me or at 1:33 - 1:47 he looks exacly like DRACO MALFOY (I love him MOST in THIS outfit), and the rest was like a COSPLAYER . This time his arms look so H-U-G-E and T-A-N. That's the only thing that caught my attention at the very first minute of the MV. Hm, I still can't get the real concept, about apple and all. So the background was set to look like a HEART ?? Somehow he reminds me of Omarion - Ice box.
Look at the way GD holds his heart all the time when dancing. Speaking of dancing, it's simple, very simple but he DID add spice into it and make it more HOT as ever.

His arms ARE indeed huge, esp the 1st and 7th, bigger one count from the top.

Is it me or GD did smile in this pic ?? I notice it at the first place. Erm, heartbreaking doesn't go with smiling, GD !!

This is my GIF, yeah it's a little ugly and small but I did it for my cellphone, hope you'll like it.

I won't listen to any of his song any more, I'll wait for my copy and cuz I'm afraid of getting bored out of
listening too much --> silly me.

I'm confused. Isn't it a thread for GD's solo already ?? The one with 19 pages. So why we need this one ??

I feel a little guilty about caring so much for GD's Inkigayo performance and ignore the death of the President. First BB's activity in Japan, which means we can't see them until end of Oct. The BB's thread will be dead AGAIN. And now this, this is the best and the worst month ever.

[random azn]

the mv was smoky hot. haha. haven't listen to the album yet, but from what's posted here, I will now. HAHA, I'm so happy I order a copy. =]

[Poetic_Goofy]

Gonna order this album of course Haven't heard the songs yet, but saw the MV Heartbreaker Too bad you can't really hear his own voice in the song, but otherwise I like it I know they (YG) don't think he is a good singer, but still, give him a chance? Maybe it's better in the other songs, I will have to listen to it.

He looks good in blonde, and the bed scene was <3

I just read that this is just the first part, and it will be 2 more parts? As a triology. Cool

[SillyyJenn]

the album was awesome. finally got to listen to every song twice.
my favorites; boy, the leaders, and she's gone. but i have a feeling after i few tries i'll fall in love with that 'hello' song XD
the beginning of the mv with all the girls and apple in a can was kinda freaky,
looking forward to the mv of breathe :]
i'm digging the hair but the makeup is just too much...

[dada]

The HEARTBREAKER MV
it was really a heartbreaking one
but in a positive manner.
I love the expressions that he
is trying to give out which
makes the simple mv
so dramatic,even though without much
of a story plot or dancing. GREAT JOB!
and yes Kwon Leadah look really hot
as always.


THE HEARTBREAKER ALBUM
Totally did not
disappoint me at all,since
i believe this is the type
of music that he will go for.
and it gives a fresher feelings
to the k-pop industry.

My TOP 5 REPLAYS:
1) The Leadahs(WASSUP)
2) HeartBreaker
3) That Boy (소년이여)
4) Butterfly
5) She's Gone

My least favourite
ones got to be 'Breathe' & 'Hello'
as i do not find anything really special.
But then I like how the music in
'HELLO' is being arranged.

It is indeed a great
birthday present
for himself & for us too(it is more
like great & awesome birthday present for us
fans & music lovers)

[heartsongs]

He’s going to reveal 3 more mvs (not including Heartbreaker)- so 4 in total! The next one’s probably going to be Breathe I guess.
http://www.newsen.com/news_view.php?uid=200908180927251002

Can someone confirm this quick please because I only knew that the MV has 3 parts, I thought it's still Heartbreaker, only that the MVs will be different. I was really excited this morning when I read that there're 2 albums which is of course misunderstood. So I want to be sure this time before I start jumping and dancing

[superpig]

Omigah! The MV is so hawt! >_< I can't wait to see the next 3 parts to it.

I listened to the whole album already, I like some songs but some songs I'm still iffy with. I felt that the vocoder was used abit too much at points especially whenever the chorus came in, I like hearing him sing properly, I think his voice is distinctive even though some people say he doesn't sing that well. Otherwise, I enjoyed the collabs with other artists especially "The Leaders", ah... CL can rock it XD.

[mab2007]

Guys.Where can I download GD's album?Haha! It really is interesting!!rawr!

[seafood]

DARN man the song is going to be a BIT HIT! . . no not only the song but his whole album will be the a hit.
I was actually a little disappointed when i saw his concept but the mv totally change it. I think i'll be loving him with
blond hair. (anything better then his long hair one >.<)


my favorite from the album as of right now is butterfly & leader . . idk but the beat in leader is SICK! & butterfly is
on reply (even though i'm only listening to the short preview lol)

[random azn]

I don't know if you guys seen this yet, but it's pissing me off. People just don't wanna leave him alone.

Plagiarism by GDragon ‘Heartbreaker’ confirmed

Plagiarism by GDragon ‘Heartbreaker’ confirmed


The copyright owner to Flo Rida’s ‘Right Round’ has came out to confirmed that Big Bang GDragon’s solo debut song ‘HeartBreaker’ has committed plagiarism to the former.

Warner Korea, which is the publishing company to ‘Right Round’ in Korea, came out to say on 18th August, “The song ‘Heartbreaker’ which was revealed in full today has been confirmed to have plagiarised ‘Right Round’. And the composer of ‘Right Round’ in America is in the dilemma of what to do and how to deal this case.”

It has been known that from the American side, they have already did an investigation of the whole song of ‘Heartbreaker’.


Warner Korea said, “The headquarters of Warner in Korea has already proposed the problem. But it is in the composer’s decision whether to give up on fighting for copyrights or to demand for a legal lawsuit.”

While earlier, a report came in that… (just to give more depth to understanding the situation)
The company in Korea which holds 50% to the copyrights to ‘Right Round’ with Warner said in an interview on 18th August, “If we look at the song as a whole, we do not think that ‘Heartbreaker’ plagiarised that of ‘Right Round’.”

The person in charge said, “We do not know if there is a part to the rap which sounds similar, and the climax and highlight to the song is different also. Also the melody to the both songs are different.”

“With this reason, we cannot say that the song plagiarised that of ‘Heartbreaker’. There is so many cases of artistes getting inspiration from one another lately, If we are going to rule the song plagiarism just because it has some parts which feels the same, then many artistes and producers will fall into serious censorship.”

The person continued, “Whether the song has committed plagiarism the final decision lies in the original composer. Before they confirm that, we cannot rule the song as plagiarism.”

It has been known that there are about 10 people who are in charge of the original composing and lyrics to ‘Right Round’. This will include the person who came out with idea of the rap, the person who wrote the rap, the different people who made the special melodies.

Meanwhile, it has been said that the MV to ‘Heartbreaker’ has broken a record of 550K views in the same day of its reveal.

I just hope Jiyong will stay strong and sort out everything He has been through too much these days

15 mins more and its our boys' 3rd anni but I feel so sad

[evoker]

seriously...props to gd..his album kicks *ss!! ahahaha..i love it!!!


oohhh...just saw the mv..dang..he really suits the blonde hair...

he reminds me of anime characters whose hair are either blonde or silver..ahaha..

I can't get enough of his of hair flipping, dancing and lastly his expression when he looked at the camera while he was hugging the girl..ljgklaglsdjkvblasudgvausgvlwukeb

ahahaha...can't wait for the other mvs...

[universe]

i just saw the article too

someone please tell me its a bad joke. i thought its an all-clear with VIPs making calls to the office??? GD DON'T DESERVE THIS. its barely 30 seconds and its barely similar!! omg. and its his birthday!! i feel like crying now.

EDIT: oh so the article may not be true?? i really hope so! its stupid to accuse an entire song of plagiarisim when the first 30 seconds just have some similarities. if its really a reporter stiring up trouble, he/she better pray that the VIPs don't get to him/her.

and btw, BB's Japanese album is out!! download links over at the BB thread. i'm receiving too much love from BB today!! ~dies~ and omg their Japanese album is waaaay better than i expected!!

[miyaa]

I've been waiting for this album as long as I've been a fan of Big Bang!!! He never disappoints!!

The Heartbreaker MV makes me feel as though we're looking inside GD's mind. I'm completely taken now... XD

"지드래곤 '하트브레이커', 저작권자 표절확신"

'라이트라운드' 저작권의 한국 대행사가 빅뱅 지드래곤의 솔로 데뷔곡 '하트브레이커'가 표절이라고 확신하고 있는 것으로 전해졌다.

' 라이트 라운드'의 국내 퍼블리싱 계약업체 워너채플코리아 측은 18일 "오늘 공개된 '하트브레이커' 원곡을 검토한 결과 도입부가 표절이라는 확신을 갖게 됐다"며 "미국에 있는 '라이트 라운드' 작곡가가 대응 여부와 방식을 고민하고 있는 것으로 알고 있다"고 밝혔다.

미국 측은 이미 '하트브레이커' 음원 전곡을 확보해 검토하고 있는 것으로 알려졌다.

앞서 '하트브레이커'는 11일 30초 버전으로 공개되면서 미국 유명힙합가수 플로라이다의 '라이트라운드'를 표절한 것이 아니냐는 의혹에 휘말렸다.

워너채플코리아 측은 "원 저작자의 판단에 따라 워너채플 미국 본사에서 문제를 제기할 것"이라며 "저작권 포기, 지분 요구로 이어질지 혹은 법적 소송으로 확대될지는 원 저작자의 판단에 달린 것"이라고 말했다.

I couldn't see this posted anywhere yet, but, it looks as if we haven't seen the last of the Heartbreaker/Right Round plagiarism issue. Although the song itself sounds nothing like Right Round, the 30s teaser still seems to be enough for Warner Music to raise the issue against GD for plagiarizing Flo Rida's song. There are talks of sharing the rights, but that has yet to be discussed.

PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, because I can't read Korean at all. But roughly translated, this is what I read out of it.

I hope I'm reading it wrong... T____T

EDIT: Just saw it was posted a few posts up. Argh, I really hope they drop the case because it's such a small part of the song T_T

LEAVE BRITNEY GD ALONE.

[feggyKPOPholic]

no matter what i believe in 10000%. i trust in him.
he will get over this hard time with a big smile!!!

<3 i love his mv. i love his album. i love big bang!!!!

never give up!

[jhshinee]

Well I like most of the album but i have a problem with the song leaders at the end they sound very cocky and say that they created a style. What style would that be though? Just sound like alot of un-needed bragging and cussing to me. sounds very westernized for that track.And no im not bashing.

[lemurturtle]

wow, really? the song as a whole sounds NOTHING like "right round"! i'm not even a big fan of gdragon; anyone can hear clear enough that the songs are different .

anyways, i just came by here because 1.) i didn't know he had his own thread already in the korean music section and 2.) to say that i'm in LOVE with the new music video. when i first heard the album, i thought it lacked some, especially the single, but after seeing the mv, i have to say, i'm totally feelin the song now. also, his hair is friggin osm XD! gotta love the platinum blonde!

[dilee]

I don't know if you guys seen this yet, but it's pissing me off. People just don't wanna leave him alone.

That's a pure fiction by some reporters.
In Korea, there are some reporters who write anything just to increase view counts and make some money from banner ad.
They pick up whatever haters say and report that.
Sometimes, they have some personal grudges against a star or an agency.

A Korean fan made phone calls to Warner and Sony, and they all said they didn't even talk to any reporter so far regarding this matter, not so much as sending a file to the US. (I have this feeling they just let these things go on and on for a publicity purpose.) Anyhow it seems like at least Warner promised to make an official statement as soon as possible regarding this matter.

[random azn]

^^ that's just seriously BS. First they accuse him of it, then once the album comes out they go "ohh we think butterfly sounds too similar to blah blah song" and now it's "confirmed" that Heartbreaker is copied? Oh please! If they had proof they would have stated it from the start since they only thing that came out was the rap part and that was the part that was "supposedly" copied.

"There is so many cases of artistes getting inspiration from one another lately, If we are going to rule the song plagiarism just because it has some parts which feels the same, then many artistes and producers will fall into serious censorship.” <---- totally agree with that. If they really wanna dig that low, then I can think of a dozen or more artist that would be sued.

I think they should stop pointing at fingers just because they have nothing better to do. I think they should realize that music has been around since GOD KNOWS WHEN, and that EVERYTHING has already been done ONCE! It's just a matter of knowing how to make it your own. He def. knows how to do it.

"Plagiarism" is sooo easily thrown around these days that it's becoming stupid. I'm becoming to think if people understand what that term even means anymore. Before you know it everything is plagiarized.


if this is a stupid reporters fault, i will smack him/her until even they can't recognize themselves.

[miridia]

I'm so happy the choreo is so manly. AHAHAHAAH. I was complaining about the femmy cover look but now, his choreo makes up for it. Hahaha. And the expressions. And well, the hair is hot. I like...I love. ;)

Yay for GD's solo! And a late Happy Birthday! ;PPPP
