G-Dragon News: ‘M.O.T.T.E’ World Tour Goes To U.S., Big Bang Rapper Calls Himself Fancy
G-Dragon, one of the two rappers of the K-pop male group Big Bang, recently performed for his fans in the United States. It was part of "Act III: M.O.T.T.E. World Tour," his third and largest world tour as a solo artist.
Around 11,000 K-pop fans attended G-Dragon's "Act III: M.O.T.T.E. World Tour" concert at The Forum in Inglewood, Los Angeles, Korea Herald reported. Aside from "Heartbreaker," the lead single of his debut solo album of the same title, he also performed "MichiGO," One of a Kind" and "That XX" during the two-hour concert.
G-Dragon told his fans during the concert at the Forum that he felt alive when sang in front of them and thanked his fans for their support. He then performed at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on July 19, Wednesday, before going to Chicago, Miami and New York.
In four months, "Act III: M.O.T.T.E. World Tour" will go to 19 cities in four continents. G-Dragon will perform in Hong Kong on Aug. 25-26, in Manila, Philippines, on Sept. 1 and in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Sept. 3.
"Act III: M.O.T.T.E. World Tour" kicked off in Seoul, South Korea, on June 10. Two days priot to this, G-Dragon released his second extended play titled "Kwon Ji Yong," his real name.
Recently, G-Dragon revealed that "Kwon Ji Yong" represents that other side of himself that fans do not see. With "Act III: M.O.T.T.E. World Tour," he will show this particular side to his fans for the first time.
"G-Dragon is a fancy person," the Big Bang rapper told South China Morning Post. "People don't expect upright images of G-Dragon and so I've been feeling some pressure about how I present myself."
On the other hand, G-Dragon has another side, an introvert who has many things going on in his head. People notice that what people see from him onstage is different from what he is offstage, he said.
