According to sources, YG Entertainment told YTN Star that G-Dragon worked on his upcoming song as part of his comeback. A media outlet had revealed that G-Dragon was going back and forth between the studio in YG Entertainment, in YGX, and at The Black Label. As soon as this news leaked, fans went berserk considering the very possibility of G-Dragon's comeback.

G-Dragon's last song as part of Big Bang was in March 2018, and his last solo song was in June 2017. As it has been quite a long time and owing to one of the biggest controversies in K-Pop surrounding BIGBANG's Seungri, BIGBANG's future and its members were really up in the air.

Fans are relentlessly trending '#GDRAGONISBACK' and 'GDRAGONISCOMING' on social media, especially Twitter.

Some comments from fans include:

"Gdragon really coming back to save the kpop industry again 

#GDRAGONISCOMING #THERETURNOFTHEKINGOFKPOP #BIGBANG #GDRAGON"

"OKAY EVERYONE MOVE THE KING IS COMING BACK

KING G-DRAGON IS BACK

#GDRAGONISCOMING #THERETURNOFTHEKINGOFKPOP

#BIGBANG #GDRAGON"

Media outlets, especially Korean ones, are referring to G-Dragon as 'The King of K-Pop.'

Kwon Ji-Yong, also known by his stage name G-Dragon, is a South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur, and fashion designer, dubbed as the 'King of K-Pop.' G-Dragon trained for six years, from the age of twelve, at South Korean entertainment label YG Entertainment before debuting in 2006 as the leader of the hip hop boy band Big Bang, which became one of the best-selling boy bands in the world.

His first solo album Heartbreaker and its title track of the same name, released in 2009, were commercially successful, becoming the best-selling album by a Korean soloist and earning him Album of the Year at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards. G-Dragon collaborated with Big Bang bandmate T.O.P to release the album GD & TOP in 2010. His first EP, One of a Kind (2012), was critically acclaimed and had three singles: "One of a Kind," "Crayon," and the chart-topper "That XX." The EP earned Record of the Year at the 2013 Seoul Music Awards. In 2013, he embarked on his first worldwide tour as a solo artist, making him the first Korean soloist to tour Japanese dome arenas. G-Dragon was awarded Artist of the Year at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards following his second album Coup d'Etat (2013). His 2017 EP, Kwon Ji Yong, yielded the number one single "Untitled, 2014", and the supporting concert tour Act III: M.O.T.T.E became the largest tour ever conducted by a Korean soloist.

Widely recognized for his influence on youth culture, fashion trends, and music in South Korea, G-Dragon was named by Forbes in 2016 as the most influential person under 30 in Asia's entertainment and sports. G-Dragon has written or co-written 23 number one songs on the Gaon Digital Chart (equivalent to the Billboard Hot 100), most of which he has also co-produced.

Shortly after his discharge from the military, G-Dragon collaborated with Nike in November 2019 for the Nike Air Force 1 Para-Noise, being the first Korean singer. G-Dragon also signed a contract to model a famous beverage brand called "Chapai" in China's Nongpushan.
