G-Dragon Concludes 'Good Day' with Musical Triumph
G-Dragon has successfully wrapped up MBC's 'Good Day' (굿데이), using the power of music to create 'good days' for everyone involved. The final episode, aired on April 13, 2025, showcased the concluding chapter of the 2025 Good Day project. G-Dragon completed the group song recording with the show's cast, marking a joyful end to their journey together. The highlight of the episode was a scene featuring G-Dragon and his final couple partner, Hwang Kwang-hee, enjoying a date at an amusement park, which peaked at a viewership rating of 3.5% according to Nielsen Korea.
As a producer, G-Dragon began the recording with a reinterpretation of the songs 'Telepathy' and 'By the Moonlight' by the group Dosiayi. While juggling music video shoots, the comedic interactions between entertainers like Jung Hyung-don and Hwang Kwang-hee, under the direction of G-Dragon's secret weapon, CL (씨엘), added an entertaining twist. CL's quirky directing style drew laughter, with Jung Hyung-don humorously acknowledging G-Dragon's charm.
Fans were captivated by the unique vocal styles of Hong Jin-kyung and Giann 84, who each brought their own flair to the recording. Hong Jin-kyung infused nostalgic melodies with a joyful tone, while Giann 84 played with rhythm, adding a sincere touch. G-Dragon expressed that he was inspired by Hong Jin-kyung's freestyle rap, leading him to reinterpret her performance.
Another memorable moment was the reunion of G-Dragon and Jung Hyung-don in the recording studio after 12 years since the 'Infinite Challenge Music Festival.' Jung Hyung-don impressed everyone with his improvisation and vocal experimentation, prompting G-Dragon to affectionately call him a genius.
To assist G-Dragon, who was busy preparing for concerts, fellow Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung, along with the Seventeen unit BSS and producer Code Kunst, stepped in to lend their support. Code Kunst praised actress Kim Go-eun, who recorded with a pure and clear voice, likening her to a singer from the 1988 era when 'Telepathy' was released.
In another studio, chef Ahn Seong-jae attempted his first-ever song recording, directed by his lookalike and frequent guest, Taeyang. Ahn added his signature phrases to the song, enhancing its edge. The grand finale was delivered by Hwang Jung-min, whose captivating performance left the audience in awe, receiving cheers and applause from Taeyang, Daesung, and the BSS members.
The recording session was a feast for the ears, with Hwang Jung-min expressing his excitement at witnessing the artists' recordings. Taeyang's soulful voice and perfectionist approach kept everyone engaged, while Daesung showcased his refreshing vocals, earning him praise from the BSS members. Hwang Jung-min's idea for a sing-along section enriched the song further.
Despite his busy concert schedule, G-Dragon maintained communication and provided feedback, expressing gratitude to the Good Day team for their collaborative effort in creating the song. The episode concluded with a surprise date between G-Dragon and Hwang Kwang-hee, where they reminisced about their school days while riding rides in matching school uniforms. Jung Hyung-don's unexpected appearance added a humorous touch, especially when he took on the role of Karina in G-Dragon's 'TOO BAD' couple dance challenge.
Reflecting on his journey, G-Dragon recalled his first meeting with Jung Hyung-don five months ago and expressed his hope that the project would bring joy and laughter to many through music. He thanked everyone who contributed to this memorable experience, marking a successful conclusion to 'Good Day.' The final piece of the heart-shaped invitation, made up of 30 puzzle pieces, was filled by G-Dragon on behalf of the viewers.
The 'Good Day 2025' soundtrack and music video will be released simultaneously on April 24, 2025, at 6 PM, with all proceeds going to support underprivileged children and youth for their 'good days.'
