The full Big Bang appeared on 'Good Day'.
On the afternoon of the 9th, G-Dragon met various artists to find the direction of the song on the MBC entertainment program 'Good Day' (directed by Kim Tae-ho, produced by TEO).
In this broadcast, G-Dragon appeared at Hong Jin-kyung's house, continuing from last week. Hong Jin-kyung expressed her excitement, saying, "Kian and I are true fans," and Jo Se-ho said, "I was really nervous at first too."
G-Dragon recalled his first meeting with Jo Se-ho, saying, "I went to the shop for the first time with Taeyang and a rookie. There was a man at the checkout holding about 4-5 shopping bags. I was curious about who that person was, and it turned out to be cabbage." Jo Se-ho clarified, "That brand is really popular, so I was just helping the brother I went with," and Hong Jin-kyung got angry, saying, "Why is he talking so much? At this rate, the recording time will be over!"
In response, Jo Se-ho asked, "What do you want to do with G-Dragon, sister?" and gave space to the other members. With only Hong Jin-kyung and G-Dragon left, she created a forced blind date situation that made everyone burst into laughter.
Later, Hong Jin-kyung got to perform a duet stage she had dreamed of with G-Dragon. G-Dragon said, "I ate delicious food and received excessive preparation, but if there’s something the sister wants to do, I’ll ask! Everyone has their own talents, right?" in a somewhat vague manner.
Hearing this, Kian 84 laughed, and Hong Jin-kyung tilted her head, asking, "Are you saying you will or won't?" Jo Se-ho added, "Sister said she liked meeting you today," and Hong Jin-kyung retorted, "So are you saying you will or won't?" He complained, "I spent over 80,000 won on ink risotto. I also spent 150,000 won on karaoke rental," and Jo Se-ho suggested, "Then let's each contribute 100,000 won," which made everyone laugh.
On another day, G-Dragon met Jung Hyung-don and Defconn. G-Dragon expressed his affection for Jung Hyung-don, saying, "You look the most like a celebrity among all I've seen so far," and Jung Hyung-don smiled while saying, "I won't accept this kind of thing anymore."
Hyung-don showed interest, asking, "Are you working on a song? What if there's a part fight? How many members are you thinking of?" When G-Dragon replied, "About ten people," Hyung-don was surprised, saying, "I only saw you guys?" When Defconn said, "I'm seeing G-Dragon for the fourth time now. I've also seen Soo-hyun, Si-wan, and Hae-in," Jung Hyung-don was bewildered, asking, "Are you trying to be a celebrity...? Am I the one causing trouble?"
Defconn introduced the restaurant they were about to meet, saying, "This restaurant was recommended by the person we're meeting today. I'm really honored. They usually don't do entertainment," and at that moment, Chef Ahn Sung-jae appeared.
Ahn Sung-jae shared, "When I was young, I watched Fast and Furious, and they were racing. I was part of a racing crew. Since then, I dreamed of becoming a car mechanic. I was going to go to a mechanic school, but I happened to pass by a cooking school. I thought I should try it out of curiosity, and it was fun," explaining how he started cooking.
He added, "I didn't know any other path, and I felt it was a waste to have come this far, but looking back, I think I was consistent. I became an executive chef at 30, opened a restaurant at 34, and received a star at 35."
He continued, "I asked who the best was, and I went to find that best. By learning everything, I was able to grow quickly," surprising the members.
G-Dragon empathized, saying, "I also trained for 11 years. I spent 5 years at SM and 6 years at YG. After school, I would change clothes, clean, and learn. I was in the blind spot so as not to disturb the seniors' practice. I practiced, but I didn't know what would happen."
During the meal, Defconn asked, "Chef, were there any dishes from the restaurants you visited that were disappointing?" Ahn Sung-jae honestly replied, "Before 'Black and White Chef,' I left without saying anything. I just thought it was a waste of money and left. But after the broadcast, I thought it was more important to support that person than to evaluate the taste, as it could affect the business, so I started to pay more attention to supporting them."
When Jung Hyung-don asked, "What if someone asks, 'What can I add here?'" G-Dragon said, "I think asking that is also passion, so I answer. I would say, 'I would have done it this way.' It's not an answer, but I give an answer," and Ahn Sung-jae agreed.
Finally, Defconn asked, "You must have had many offers for entertainment, why did you decline?" Ahn Sung-jae replied, "I thought, 'I am a chef. I am someone who gives people emotion, taste, and good times through food.' In fact, 'Good Day' is my first entertainment, and I think it's an honor to participate in a project that can have a good influence."
He added, "As a chef, I have my own area and a life I can show, but I participated with the hope that it would have a positive influence."
On another day, GD met Buseoksoon. Buseoksoon, seeing G-Dragon, couldn't hide their excitement and presented an album with a wishlist of things they wanted to do with him.
Buseoksoon said, "I want to become your younger brother," continuously appealing, and played GD's song to show their fan spirit. The three then visited a fast-food restaurant and ordered hamburgers.
Hoshi asked, "How do you write lyrics, hyung?" and G-Dragon sincerely advised, "I just keep writing whether I’m writing lyrics or not. I just look at signs or menus."
The four took a four-cut photo and then visited an arcade. Hoshi sincerely asked, "Can I really call you anytime, hyung?" and Buseoksoon promised, "One by one, by reservation, I’ll call on different days every day." G-Dragon felt embarrassed and said, "Just do it when it's convenient. Don't look at me so much. I have members too. Let's meet later in a 3-on-3 match."
Later, G-Dragon said, "The most important thing is the song, but before meeting people, when I only imagined it in my head, I wanted to do something grand or powerful, but I wondered if I was hastily thinking about the direction of the song. I have to erase the entire list I worked on before and start working now. It’s true that I suggested it, but I was the one who said to expand it, so I have to do my part. I want to step back," showing signs of feeling burdened.
Arriving at Taeyang's solo concert, G-Dragon performed on stage with Daesung, and the three talked in the waiting room. G-Dragon expressed his concerns, saying, "I've only done our songs. But since we’re collaborating, I’m worried about how to divide the parts. The actors sing well, but Chef Ahn Sung-jae seems to feel burdened."
In response, Taeyang said, "Then you’ll just put in the kick," and Daesung added, "You’ll just play in the middle saying 'evenly~'," throwing out ideas. G-Dragon smiled, saying, "This is why I like our team. We have to have meetings like this. When I play the music, it’s like this! That’s how we came up with 'Chapsal-tteok'."
Taeyang laughed, saying, "But going to 'Buckwheat Jelly' is too much," and G-Dragon replied, "Right. I suggested 'Buckwheat Jelly,' but I was ultimately rejected, so we went with 'Gung-hap'."
Daesung suggested, "Isn't Kim Yeon-ja's 'In the Land of the Morning Calm' really good?" and Taeyang proposed, "The 88 friends will walk out together, and Chef Ahn Sung-jae will appear riding a kickboard instead of kicking," leaving G-Dragon bewildered.
Later, G-Dragon revealed in a heartfelt interview, "The members know everything I’m thinking, so whether it’s nonsense or whatever, if I keep thinking, the answer comes out," showing his affection for the team.
G-Dragon also mentioned, "I’m thinking of songs like 'In the Flower Garden,' 'Song of the Wind,' 'In the Land of the Morning Calm,' 'Telepathy,' and 'Dreaming of Balhae,'" indicating that he had somewhat decided on the songs.
'Good Day' airs every Sunday night at 9:10 PM on MBC.
