Throughout the video, he passes more red-cloaked individuals and a doll, accompanied by people in black, symbolizing the hidden forces behind the industry who dictate trends.
A broken elevator scene with a “LADWP WATER” sign may represent societal structures that are neglected yet cosmetically maintained.
The appearance of goats as he sings about being a “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) reaffirms his legacy as a K-pop icon, an artist who, despite challenges, has reached legendary status. This scene combines self-recognition with humor, embracing his role as a trailblazer.

The director figures controlling the scene further comment on how artists are sometimes puppeteered to fit industry narratives, making this scene a critique of overmanaged fame
Entering a news studio with another cloaked, head-nodding anchor, he mocks media influence, critiquing its power in shaping and manipulating narratives.

The subway graffiti and metro map hint at the titles of his upcoming songs, adding an element of anticipation for his fans. It suggests that G-Dragon’s journey, much like a subway ride, will unveil different facets of his artistry
At the end of the "Power" MV, G-Dragon stands behind a screen displaying "88," a significant number as it represents his birth year.
G-Dragon has done it again, evolving into the highest level of musician. His artistic vision challenges conventional norms, compelling audiences to think critically while enjoying a K-pop video. He has shattered the rules and created new ones, leaving us eagerly awaiting how the K-pop industry will respond.
The recent teasers, “ERROR” and “LOADING UP,” signal significant changes within the largest K-pop companies. It’s refreshing to see an artist who disrupts the status quo, and ultimately, fans and the broader audience will be the true beneficiaries of this evolution
Watch it again! and again...
