One month after the photoshoot in Paris, the artist provided thoughtful, understated answers to VogueŌĆÖs questions in a voice recording. ŌĆ£I get to listen to and admire the creations of artists around the world,ŌĆØ G-Dragon shared. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs such a great privilege and such a pleasure. I have an appreciation for so much that IŌĆÖve encountered, so I canŌĆÖt narrow it down to whatŌĆÖs fresh and interesting. ItŌĆÖs all good.ŌĆØ As one of the hottest stars in the K-pop scene, his interest has always been a hot topic. Then what has he been into lately? ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been reading a lot lately. And IŌĆÖve been watching at least two movies a day. I enjoy reading and taking in new inspiration,ŌĆØ he answered. ŌĆ£Honestly, IŌĆÖm just as curious about my own interests as everyone else (laughs),ŌĆØ he added, making fans wonder if he was talking about his breakup rumors with BLACKPINKŌĆÖs Jennie. ŌĆ£Curiosity is an important part of who I am, and this world has so much to be curious about. And over time, IŌĆÖve found my curiosity broadening and my thoughts on art becoming more multifaceted.ŌĆØ To the question of whatŌĆÖs his driving force, G-Dragon gave a thoughtful answer. ŌĆ£I would say that it changes from moment to moment,ŌĆØ he replied. ŌĆ£But as an individual, Jiyong Kwon is driven by dreams and values. As an artist, G-DRAGON is empowered and nourished by the fans. I got to where I am through music, and IŌĆÖll continue making music because of all the people whoŌĆÖve repaid my efforts with love.ŌĆØ He continued, ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm a pop musician, so I have to pay close attention to pop trends. That said, I want to clarify that IŌĆÖm less concerned with trends than with what fans are into ŌĆŌĆØ having conversations with them and vibing together. I stay tuned in to pop, and I need to stay aware and educated about current issues with pop. In this way, I can stay motivated and absorb influences. IŌĆÖm genuinely curious about whatŌĆÖs happening here and now. I think I have a deeply ingrained ability to read trends and vibes.ŌĆØ Source (1)
