After a long wait, G-Dragon finally made a comeback by presenting a digital single titled "POWER" on October 31, 2024. Less than 3 days after its release, the latest MV from the BIGBANG member has already reached 11 million viewers.
In addition to the interesting and unique concept of the "POWER" MV, the audience was distracted by the jewelry worn by G-Dragon there. One of them is a ring with a large turquoise stone on one of his ring fingers.
The ring, part of the Jacob & Co brand, features a 48.27-carat natural Paraiba tourmaline in the color of tropical seas, flanked by two butterflies set with white and pink diamonds. It sold for $6.4 million. When netizens found out how expensive the ring G-Dragon wore in the "POWER" MV was, they were of course shocked.
" I was shocked when I was told it was 8 billion, but it's even 8.8 billion won [sic!] ," wrote one netizen. " Is this real...? [sic!] ," added another. " It's 48 carats [sic!] ," another netizen said. " I thought it was a Daiso princess ring, but it's an 8.8 billion won ring wow [sic!] ," another added.
" Hul??? But even with the naked eye, I can see how expensive it is ," another netizen continued. On the other hand, G-Dragon once described "POWER" as a song about strength. The man stated, "For me, strength is music." He also reflected on how significant the media's influence was during his 7-year hiatus as an outsider.
G-Dragon explained that the song contains various meanings, including a satire on the power of the media and the importance of aligning different types of power. As soon as it was released, G-Dragon's latest song immediately trended on various music charts.
"POWER" topped the MelOn Hot 100 chart within just 5 minutes of its release. Within the first hour, the song had reached #2 on MelOn, #2 on Genie, #1 on Bugs, and debuted at #40 on South Korea's notoriously difficult Flo chart. In less than a day, "POWER" dominated all iChart systems.
