G-Dragon feels lonely on solo tour without BIGBANG members?

It is always good to have buddies you can count on. Even with the overwhelming stage presence that he possesses, K-pop group BIGBANG’s leader G-Dragon finds it hard shouldering the full load.

Speaking to the media before his solo concert in Taipei yesterday, he admitted, ”Without my members, I do feel a bit lonely, especially when I got injured. If my members are around, they can help out with the performances. So I do miss them.”

That said, his supportive fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung have been helping him by taking turns to make cameo appearances at his previous stops.

After shows in Seoul, several Japanese cities and Beijing, G-Dragon’s 2013 1st World Tour: One of a Kind comes to Taipei. This is G-Dragon’s second solo concert tour, but his first ever worldwide tour. He performed to a full house of enthusiastic VIPs yesterday night, and will put on the second show later today (10 May).

At the invitation of local organiser ONE Production, xinmsn was part of the Taipei concert crowd last night. It is currently unknown which other BIGBANG member will show up with G-Dragon at Singapore’s show.

The hardworking singer-rapper revealed that it was pretty tough to put on a two-hour show initially and had moments of self-doubt, unsure if he could last till the end.

“However, I am now physically used to it, and can enjoy the show’s atmosphere,” he reassured.

Just two weeks ago, G-Dragon injured his ankle at the Osaka concert and had no choice but to make some changes to the show. Even though he showed up at yesterday’s press conference holding a cane, he appeared to be in good condition and assured everyone that he is almost fully recovered, emphasising that Taiwanese VIPs are lucky to be able to enjoy the original content of the concert.

G-Dragon even joked, “Everyone said I looked so cool holding the cane, thus I brought it with me today.”

Another highlight of G-Dragon’s outfit has to be his huge black fedora hat, an item from Saint Laurent’s latest Spring/Summer women collection.

When asked about the concept of his attire, G-Dragon answered humorously with a simple ‘aunt’ and added that he often sees aunts wearing such hats. He even commented that host Mickey Huang’s concept was the perfect complement of his — ‘uncle’.

Known for being a fashionista, G-Dragon said that he loves to shop, and when he is on such tours, he will try to check out the shops when he has the time to do so.

He also revealed that another recent hobby of his: reading comics, something he often did in his primary school days.
