GD's "Shine a Light" Booklet [MISC]

Some translations for the booklet are out ^^

Fragile GD

Jiyong, who likes to sleep in and usually finds it hard to wake up early in the morning, is especially having trouble getting up today.
His manager senses something strange and puts his hand on Jijyong’s face. He gasps at how hot his forehead is and goes straight to the hospital with him on his back.

More after the cut.

After rushing to the hospital to get a checkup, they find Jiyong’s temperature to be around 40 degrees!
It was during the time when swine flu was extremely contagious, so I couldn’t help being more worried about him.

Though getting sick in itself is bad, it turns out that it’s luckily only a high fever from overwork combined with a cold.

It’s impossible for Jiyong to film in this state. The doctor also repeatedly stresses the importance of resting up.

Either way, it’s sad seeing Jiyong so cheerless and thin.


For Jiyong’s fitness and strength during the preparations for his concert, his mother makes him beef soup.
Jiyong has been eating this beef soup every single day.

I don’t know why but when you think of Jiyong, you’d think he’d like foods like spaghetti and pizza.... but it turns out he really likes Korean food.

He manages to survive until the end of the concerts thanks to his mother’s beef soup. Maybe he ate it a bit too much though?
“I swear I’m gonna become a bear after all this.....”
[beef soup = 곰국 which when literally translated becomes ‘Bear Soup’]

But even though he whines, he always manages to finish a bowl of his mother’s beef soup just like that.

Jiyong has been in beef soup-appreciation mode lately.


The atmosphere suddenly feels cold. The look on G-Dragon’s face as he watches rehearsal videos is pretty serious.
Though everything looks perfect from an outsider’s perspective, not even the tiniest flaws escape G-Dragon’s eagle eyes.

Everyone watches G-Dragon soundlessly, wondering what’s gone wrong and how to change it. As G-Dragon points them out one by one, even I flinched like a student being scolded by my teacher in the staff room.

I know I don’t really have the right to give my opinion as an outsider, but it’s only 1 or 2 seconds’ difference and its both surprising and scary that he notices and checks these. He isn’t called a ‘crazy perfectionist’ for nothing.

“Of course it would be difficult, but if its possible I would like to get absolutely everything perfect. Everything......”


I will announce today’s weather.
For the first time in ages, it’s a cold wave catch.

It’s just so cold today. I went outside the concert hall for a while and came straight back in because of the cold, but I saw fangirls lining up 2, 3 hours before the start of the concert.

Maybe they forgot the cold because of anticipation for the concert. They were all smiling brightly.

Sure enough, Jiyong is worried about his fans waiting outside.

“Why is it so cold today.......... They’ll freeze to death waiting. Seriously.”

Taeyang reassures the worrying Jiyong.



[Note from Andie: The next two are narrated from Dara's perspective]*


“Anything to say about Jiyong who performs with you?”

“I think that as a hot icon, it isn’t surprising that cute Jiyong steals the hearts of fangirls.
And its also great to always see him confident...Working really hard but really letting loose when he’s on a break! That’s his style.
As we’ve been working together, I can’t help thinking how chic he is but it’s also impressive that at the same time, he takes care of all the people around him and thanks everyone.”


It’s finally the day of the concert.
Jiyong doesn’t even look nervous, just chilling out...so why is it that I’m shaking?
