(Video) 'It's Not Up To Me': BIGBANG's G-Dragon Shares His Plans For Retirement
No one works forever (nor should they), as the day will come when we hang up our coats and retire from work. The same applies to musical icons who have entertained fans for decades and left a lasting impact on the entertainment industry. While fans may never be ready for that day to come, it is something we will all eventually have to accept.
BIGBANG member, G-Dragon (권지용), who will be performing in Malaysia later this year, was recently asked about his plans for his future and possibly retiring from the music industry. This was what the idol had to say:
G-Dragon appeared as a guest on a recent episode of the 'Halmyungsoo' show on YouTube. It was reportedly the first time the rapper and comedian Park Myung-soo had seen each other in 14 years. The two played games and discussed various topics, including retirement. The host shared his plan to retire at the age of 60, before asking the idol about his own thoughts on stepping away from the spotlight.
The 37-year-old revealed that he hadn't given it much thought, saying: 'Maybe because I'm younger, but I haven't set an age. In music, I don't think it's up to me. I still get inspired and feel passionate, so I'll keep going as long as that continues.' He added that one shouldn't impose limits on themselves, and that people should pursue their passion for as long as they want to.
In addition to retirement, the two stars also discussed marriage. Park Myung-soo asked the BIGBANG member whether he had ever considered settling down, to which he replied: 'It's not that I haven't thought about it. Of course I have, but I'm not thinking about it seriously right now.' He also revealed that he has never performed at anyone's wedding – not even his sister's, despite her request. He then joked that he might write and sing a song at his own wedding if the day ever comes.

#SHOWBIZ: Mimifly dedicates 'Sahabat' to 'loving big brother' Jojo
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Mimifly, whose real name is Mimi Norhisham, has released a heartfelt tribute to her "loving big brother, sifu, and soul mate," Jojo Hasan Baias, who passed away from a heart ailment on Jan 26. Titled Sahabat, Mimi's heartfelt tribute to Jojo premiered as a music video at 11.11am today on her official YouTube channel. Sahabat, co-composed by Mimi and Bo Curley with lyrics by Mimi, serves as a deeply personal farewell to her dear friend and fellow One Nation Emcees member. In a statement released today, Mimi shared: "Our friendship went beyond music — it was built on trust, loyalty, and shared dreams. Sahabat captures that bond in both melody and words, and I've poured all my emotions into the lyrics as a message of gratitude, remembrance, and love." The music video brings these emotions to life through a retro-inspired visual concept, thoughtfully crafted with Mimi's own creative input. "The nostalgic feel, vintage styling, and expressive cinematography were carefully planned to reflect the soul of the song," she explained. Mimi has once again collaborated with Konda Kondi Studio, a production team that she feels shares a "similar wavelength, creative synergy, and commitment to storytelling with heart." Sahabat has also been chosen as the official end-credit song for the film Mencari Ramlee, which premieres on June 19. "I hope that this music video will resonate with fans and new audiences alike — serving as both a tribute to a beloved friend and a reminder of how music preserves the people and memories we carry in our hearts." Mimi will also donate proceeds from the song to Jojo's widow, Siti Rohayu Saharudin, whom she regards as family. "Thank you, Jojo, for the laughter, the stages we shared, and the joy you brought to my life from the beginning," Mimi expressed. "One Nation Emcees was not just a group; we were family."
