BIGBANG’s G-Dragon Shocks Fans With Voice Change

He’s still the same G-Dragon, though!

On October 30, BIGBANG‘s G-Dragon guested on tvN’s You Quiz On The Block and expressed his honest feelings about returning with a solo album after seven years.

This also marks his first variety show appearance in 12 years.

I started as a trainee at six and debuted when I was 19. I only lived as Kwon Ji Yong for four or five years and as a trainee or G-Dragon for over 20 years. I didn’t know who I was.

Some even compared it to other people. Some thought G-Dragon sounded like T.O.P, while others said it sounded like G-Dragon was impersonating YG.

Netizens wondered what triggered G-Dragon’s voice change. Some believe his voice naturally got deeper as he aged. They also suspect it’s a result of smoking cigarettes.

It seems like it could be that G-Dragon naturally changes his voice (like code-switching) depending on his environment.
