While promoting his EP '' Kwon Ji Yong '' , G-Dragon revealed that he originally created the alter ego G-Dragon to keep his stage persona separated from who he really is . '' Seoul Beats '' have described G-Dragon as " glamorous , cocky , and energetic " , compared to his real-life " humble and understated " personality . In a 2017 interview with '' Elle '' , he described G-Dragon as someone who is " full of self-confidence " and is " a fancier and stronger person " while Kwon Ji-yong is an " introvert ed guy " with " many thoughts in his mind . " After the release of '' Kwon Ji Yong '' and while touring for Act III : M.O.T.T.E , G-Dragon expressed a desire to distance himself from his alter ego , explaining to his fans that for the past few years he has been " living as G-Dragon , but now I want to live as Kwon Ji Yong . " '' Rolling Stone India '' noted how during the third act of the concerts , fans were able to witness " the rather menacing G-Dragon melt away into the shy Ji Yong . " G-Dragon maintains tight control over his career , publicly opposing the idea of singers as " products " of the entertainment industry and criticizing agencies who do not give their artists creative control . Known for reinventing his image and style throughout the years , the singer-rapper is often described as the " most fashionable " member in Big Bang . While promoting '' Heartbreaker '' , his change in hairstyle by dyeing it blond gained popularity among his fans and became one of the top hairstyles of the year . He has consistently altered his hair throughout the years , ranging from various shades of colors to different cuts . Additionally , his constant sporting of triangular scarves during promotions for Big Bang 's EP '' Always '' became a trend among teenagers and were later nicknamed the " Big Bang scarves . " G-Dragon is noted for his androgynous appearance , with the '' Korea JoongAng Daily '' calling him " a notable star fashioning genderless style " , noting how his image deviates from the fixed gender type of men and women . '' Vogue Magazine '' stated how his androgynous or gender-bending appearance defies a " society that maintains traditional , patriarchal values and a noted adherence to manufactured beauty ideals . " When he collaborated with Italian footwear designer Giuseppe Zanotti to launch a limited-edition collection of men 's and women 's shoes , he stated that " it 's not just girls or women who get excited and worked up over pretty shoes . ... G uys can feel that way , too .
