[NEWS] Big Bang’s G-Dragon ranks first with an R-rated song for the first time


Big Bang’s G-Dragon recently ranked first with his R-rated song “That XX” on the September music chart for the first time.

According to the official music chart Gaon, G-Dragon’s “That XX” ranked first on the September chart. This is the first time an R-rated song has ranked first.

Leessang’s “Turn off the TV” ranked first last year but the song was R-rated after its release. Even though G-Dragon rated the song R by himself, it is showing off its musical power among various generations.

He deleted some of the lyrics for the music video to promote the song.

As a result, his teen fans are also enjoying the music video. YG Entertainment decided to delete some lyrics for the music video so that more people could watch the video.

It has been three years since G-Dragon released a new EP. He previously released “One of a Kind,” “Missing You,” and “Crayon,” which are receiving considerable attention.
