new's tatto baru GD

G-Dragon sudah beberapa kali mewarnai tubuhnya, dan sepertinya leader BigBang ini menambahkan satu tato baru.

Hal ini tersebar dikalangan para penggemar via internet setelah G-Dragon terlihat di depan umum pada konser perdana 2ne1 beberapa hari yang lalu. Dan pada saat menjenguk seorang anak di rumah sakit minggu kemarin, VIP melihat tato yang sama lagi.

Tato itu sendiri sudah menarik banyak perhatian, yaitu berupa kartun berbentuk hati yang mempunyai tangan dan kaki seperti sedang berlari. Yang mana karakter ini terkenal berkat Keith Haring sehingga masih dapat dijumpai hingga saat ini.

Seorang seniman dan aktivis sosial yang bekerja menanggapi budaya jalanan New York City tahun 1980-an, Keith berhasil mempopulerkan namanya pada tahun 80-an dengan lukisan seluruh sistem kereta bawah tanah New York dengan menggunakan kapur. Tidak lama kemudian seninya tersebut berkembang mengikuti arus sehingga menjadi sebuah aliran utama. Karya-karyanya terdiri dari seni publik dan karya seni pop. Garis-garis tebal, warna yang cerah, dan tokoh-tokoh yang aktif membawa pesan kuat mengenai hidup dan persatuan.
Meskipun dalang dari hal-hal gila serta aneh, seperti makhluk dengan tiga mata atau leher yang panjang, telah meninggal, kita masih bisa mengingat karyanya hingga sekarang, sebagian berkat Jeremy Scott untuk kolaborasinya dengan Adidas, dalam dunia mode.

Fans don’t have to wait any longer for G-Dragon‘s solo comeback, as Big Bang‘s G-Dragon is set to return with his solo on October!
Next month,  G-Dragon is scheduled to reveal his mini album and start his solo activities on October for the first time in a year and a half.
It was revealed that G-Dragon is currently working on last-minute items for his songs and will select his title song soon, in addition to envisioning his album concept. A YG Entertainment representative stated, “Because we are still writing songs for his album, we haven’t decided on his title song. When we are done, we will decide on the album concept.”
Many agencies are reportedly reconsidering other artists’ comeback dates that were set for October as G-Dragon is expected to overpower music charts with his solo comeback. One music industry stated, “From September, KARA, SNSD, and Brown Eyed Girls are planned to comeback. In addition to that, it’s hard to find a place for rookie singers with G-Dragon coming back on October.”
With Daesung‘s car accident, Big Bang members are focusing on their individual activities, starting with G-Dragon’s solo comeback.

Hold your horses, G-Dragon not returning in October?
