On the eve of the release of his new single " Power ," Big Bang 's famous boy band member G-Dragon shared the full version of his song via Instagram Live, giving his fans an exclusive sneak peek.

The 3-minute song showcases G-Dragon's signature, loose rap style over a classic hip-hop foundation. The lyrics convey a positive message: "I have the power. I'm just me. That's why I'm beautiful."

How did Korean fans react to this release, the first musical release from the K-pop icon in over 7 years?

Many loyal fans have expressed their excitement for the artist's return, with comments such as:

“This is so awesome. Welcome back, GD!”

“Ah, I was waiting for this man’s rap!”

“It’s so classic GD style.”

“I absolutely have to see this live.”

"I'm glad he kept his signature style instead of following trends. He's not the real GD otherwise."

“It’s going to be great to see this on stage.”

"I was worried for nothing! He hasn't changed, he's still our GD!"

“It’s really fun and dynamic.”

"I'm so proud of him, he stood up to all that pressure and stayed true to himself."

“Say what you want, it’s old, but that’s the definition of ‘individuality.’ That’s what sets him apart from all the other K-pop idols.”

“This is exactly the fun, almost ridiculously crazy GD music I wanted.”

However, some have expressed criticism, including:

"His old songs are much better."

“Uh... that’s bad.”

"I think my expectations were too high."

“It sounds so old.”

"He was stuck 10 years behind."

"It feels like I'm being forced to listen to old music from 10 years ago."

"In reality, there was no way this person could live up to all the enormous expectations placed on him."

"If you are a musician, you must follow current musical trends..."

"It's frankly disappointing."

"Imagine if any musician, who wasn't GD, released this song... would you listen to it?"

"Sorry but that's not it for me."

"Yeah, it's definitely his signature style but... 10 years later it seems so outdated. Anyway, I'm waiting to see the rest of the album."

G-Dragon's new digital single "Power" will be available on major streaming platforms worldwide on October 31 at 6 p.m. KST, marking the debut of his 3rd full-length album.
