I'm not much of a concert goer, mostly due to how expensive a ticket can cost. So after I bought a VIP ticket to Twice's first world tour in Singapore [Twiceland] a few months back, I decided not to spend any money on concerts for a while. But G-Dragon had to launch his world tour shortly after Twice's. I didn't even know he did till a week before the concert date. Knowing that he's probably gonna enlist soon, following TOP, I made the impulse decision to buy a sitting ticket. You're probably wondering, why not just get a VIP ticket? Well truth be told, I was just lazy to stand for two to three hours (definitely not because I'm broke). 

The concert? It was god damn amazing. I've always known him as a top class performer from all the lives I've watched on YouTube, but seeing it in person was just... different. The whole time I was watching, my jaws were slack from the awe-inspiring performances. Song after song, GD hardly took a break. He just kept rapping, kept dancing. He was on a whole different level compared to the previous concerts I'd been to. It isn't a stretch to say he's on a level on his own. // Also, throughout the concert it was pretty obvious that the theme was him trying to find his own identity - unsure if he's G-dragon or Kwon Ji Yong, which I felt was pretty impactful. Instead of a concert focused on fan-service like any other acts, he decided to be sincere for this one. I'm not sure if most of the fans got what he was trying to say with their constant screaming, but I for one did. 

Most people don't know this since I don't say it, but it's been a dream of mine to watch a Big Bang / G-Dragon concert since 2012 (when I was 16 and first introduced to them). I never really had a chance to watch them perform because I wasn't earning anything back then. So since I've some savings now and it might be his last solo concert for a while, I couldn't not buy a ticket. I've said it to my friends and I'll say it again here, no regrets with my impulse buy. I had the best time of my life listening to all of his hits. Thank you Kwon Ji Yong.
