There is no denying G-Dragon's musical genius. Time and time again he shows his creativity, versitility, and unique blend of genres and styles. From melodic hip-hop tracks, to electro power-pop songs, to smooth R&B infused hits, he has managed to dominate it all.

Now, with the announcement that the Big Bang leader will be making another solo comeback by the end of summer, many are wondering just what new tricks G-Dragon has up his sleeve.

The answer, at first, might seem a bit shocking - for his upcoming single the popular songwriter has said he will incorporate traditional Korean folk music, or Gugak.

Typically music in South Korea has been divided into two categories; Gugak, or traditional music, and Yangak, Western music - with K-Pop falling into that latter group.

There are several varieties of Korean folk music, and G-Dragon was not specific about what particular genre he was inspired by, but after giving the news second thought, it is easy to see how he has already been influenced by the genre.

Just one look at a Pungmul performance (a type of Korean folk music that is done in a group with many drums and a dozen or so dancers) and it could almost be a scene from the "MichiGO" or "Crayon" videos. Erratic beats, elaborate costumes, and an entertaining performance - sure sounds like GD's style.

And could "One of a Kind" be a play on Pansori? A single drum beat and a rhythmic singer who tells a story - Korea's original hip-hop?

Always looking for that shock factor to set him apart from the rest of the herd, the prolific musician has been evolving for years already, and his latest dabblings in folk music are just another way for him to keep his fans on their toes.

G-Dragon's solo comeback is expected in August of this year.
