The hard working leader of Big Bang is currently in Europe for a much needed vacation. Apparently, G-Dragon whose real name is Kwon Ji Yong is suffering from a slight depression recently due to non-stop work as an artist, music collaborator and music producer.
YG Entertainment who manages Big Bang's career recently released a statement about it since fans were waiting for his solo album that was scheduled to be released this first quarter of the year. It seems that due to the situation his album will be released on a later part of the year.
YG President said that he analyzed GD's condition and he believe that he needed counseling plus a lot of rest since he was stressed for overseeing a lot of activities for his solo album, his group and other things as well not to mention the issues about his music compositions with other musicians in their very own group.
He urged GD to take a rest and go and enjoy Europe for 8 days. If you have been following this guy's history, he has been working so hard long before his debut and so it is just fitting that he gets a much needed vacation. I am a fan and so I was hoping to see him gone for even a month. The guy truly deserves it.
However, it seems that there are so many activities that are lined up for his group that cannot be avoided such as they are also about to make an appearance in MTV Music Awards in Japan this 2009.
More power to G-Dragon and hopefully he'll be back with a better perspective and a well rested body.
