G-DRAGON - THAT XX (그 XX) M/V

Love this song, GD's 1nd mini album title song "That XX"

"THAT XX" is the first released single following the intro "ONE OF A KIND" from G-DRAGON'S new album. G-DRAGON delivers a melancholy acoustic guitar driven song that yearns for his secret crush to see he is the one. The M/V also features a appearance by new YG artist Jennie Kim.

G-Dragon says EP not fit for minors

Again, in an unusual move, G-Dragon’s agency YG Entertainment has given the singer’s new album a rating of 19 years and above.

On Wednesday, the agency said it decided to follow suit from the earlier single “That XX” because “the songs will no doubt be censored by the Commission on Youth Protection.”

YG said songs on the upcoming album “One of a Kind” are explicit because “those words contain the essence of the songs, true to its form.” The single “That XX” was released Aug. 31. Despite the age ban, the single became the top song on various music charts and download Web sites from the day of release.

New regulations now require age ratings, and entertainment agencies have been quick to criticize the government for moving too slowly on decisions regarding age appropriateness.

Meanwhile, another song contained on the new album, “Missing You,” is generating much buzz after a video of G-Dragon talking about the tune surfaced online just days ago.

Rapper Psy has made his way across the globe with his latest single, “Gangnam Style.”

CNN covered the amusing music video for the new single on Friday, saying it is “really getting a lot of reactions in New York.”

The news channel also noted the music video has won praise from music celebrities such as T-Pain and Robbie Williams and racked up 11 million views on YouTube in two weeks.

The newscaster went on to say Psy’s moves - especially the horse-riding dance - are fun to watch, adding that she would “try it out in the living room.”

T-Pain mentioned the video July 29, tweeting, “Words cannot even describe how amazing this video is” as he uploaded it for his followers.

The music video also features comedians Yoo Jae-seok and No Hong-chul, and 4Minute’s Hyun-a.

Since releasing his sixth album July 15, the 34-year-old singer announced that he plans to take some time off from performing.
