G-Dragon spikes Inkigayo rating

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

The G-Dragon effect was evidently reflected on the 30th August episode of Inkigayo through the tv ratings and the flood of fans waiting to see him perform live.

G-Dragon had made his long-awaited debut this past Sunday, following the release of his solo album on 18th August. More than 1,000 fans braved the rain to catch G-Dragon in action for the very first time. And fans were rewarded with a double song performance of Heartbreaker and Breathe by G-Dragon.

According to TNS Media Korea, the rating peaked at an impressive 17% when G-Dragon was performing. This was a phenomenal record, considering that usual average ratings for music shows are less than 10%. The average rating for Inkigayo on 30th August was 14.1%, a rise of 2.8 percentage points compared to 16th August.



G-Dragon's title song Heartbreaker and album has also dominated offline and online charts since it's release. And the explosive popularity was reflected on the 28th August episode of Music Bank, where he held off Brown Eyed Girls and 2NE1 to claim his first-ever solo K-Chart win, a result which astonished the Music Bank PDs.

G-Dragon is scheduled to record Kim Jung Eun's Chocolate on 2nd September, followed by his debut stage on Music Bank on 4th September.

This is adds to reason why you do not underestimate him.

[joongified.livejournal.com]

This just adds *
Excuse my crappy brain.

[skrillex.livejournal.com]

People can talk shit on him and hate on him all they want.
But they can't deny, the boy's going places.
He knows it, they know it.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

Do you guys think he is aware of how much people watched him all over the world?

[skrillex.livejournal.com]

I don't know, actually.

I don't really think he's very aware of it ._. He seems to be well aware that he's taking over Korea though.

^ maybe?
If he didn't know then he most definately knows now!


So awesome he won. I had to laugh though cause he beat 2NE1 and well those are his homies xD
2NE1 going against sunbae GD. LOL!!
It is still odd to see him dance and perform without Big Bang.

This is like music to my ears~

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

oh yeahhh!

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Ya, this is why he's leader, folks. All of the mad talent aside, he not only commands a stage--he owns it. Even the news of him being on one is enough to get people riled up.

I'm really happy for him. I remember a few years ago when he and Youngbae were still doing backup for Se7en and he talked looking forward to having his own stage be as exciting and glamorous some day. He's even surpassed Se7en now :)

[downpour.livejournal.com]

i am so happy for him, idek. ♥

[centric-xx.livejournal.com]

he's come such a long way and totally deserves every second of it.

[automatic-love.livejournal.com]

Why not? He can have the best of both worlds, Big Bang and go solo when they're inactive.

[automatic-love.livejournal.com]

JT is a doucheturd that left Nsync high and dry as soon as it was obvious he could manage alone. And with all the creative involvement GD has in Big Bang, I can't see him ever leave the group. I think they said once that they hoped to still be around in 20+ years.

[srsbsns.livejournal.com]

GD WIN.

[vo-kim-bulary.livejournal.com]

Go GD!!!

[unsospiro.livejournal.com]

Of course my bb did.

[minamelody.livejournal.com]

LOL HOLY CRAP he's aweeesome. i can't wait for his upcoming performances!!

[xxsmiiles.livejournal.com]

He practically single-handedly beat 2NE1 and BEG, combined! *applauds*

[bubabi.livejournal.com]

GO GO G-DRAGON!
but it was quite shocking that just looking at 2ne1's and beg's score.
beg beat 2ne1. and now 2ne1 is at 3rd place. WOW!
but they will make a GREAT comeback next time.
and be a BIG HIT!

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

[paladinfever.livejournal.com]

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

He can do everything.

[houseki69.livejournal.com]
