Kwon Ji Yong (Korean: 권지용; Hanja: 權志龍) is the second extended play (EP) by South Korean rapper G-Dragon, released digitally on June 8, 2017 by YG Entertainment.[1] The EP was his first release in four years, following his second studio album Coup d'Etat (2013).[2] The physical release was made on a USB flash drive in lieu of a traditional compact disc.[3] The EP was generally well-received by critics who praised G-Dragon's honesty and vulnerability on the EP. This was G-Dragon's final release before his military enlistment on February 27, 2018, as well as before his departure from YG in 2023.[4][5]
The EP debuted atop the US Billboard World Albums and Heatseekers Albums,[6] and also topped the Billboard Hot Albums in Japan.[7] The EP was a commercial success in mainland China, where it sold one million digital copies in less than a week, and was the best-selling digital album of 2017 by a Korean artist.[8] To promote the record, G-Dragon embarked on his Act III: M.O.T.T.E World Tour just two days after its release.[9]
