G-Dragon and His “Embarassing” Middle School Past

[Newsie]

There has been renewed interest in BIGBANG member G-Dragon’s past, specifically, an old video from G-Dragon’s school days.

Interest in the video was sparked anew through a February 25 post on an online community forum titled, “G-Dragon’s Prohibited Video.” The video footage shows G-Dragon’s appearing in his school musical, “Urine Town,” which was his National Middle School of Traditional Arts graduation project.

In the video, G-Dragon sports a neat side-part, slicked down, and heavy, exaggerated stage makeup, to humorous and slightly ridiculous effect. He looked nothing like the fashionista he is today.

Referring to the video in an anecdote, G-Dragon once commented on a radio show after his debut that, “I won’t let the people who spread the video get away with it.” However, the video has continued to receive attention throughout his career.
