G-Dragon Opens Up About Military Life: “That Was the Most Pathetic Time of My Life”
G-Dragon’s Emotional Call to Jung Hyung Don During Military Service
On May 13, G-Dragon made a surprise appearance on YouTube channel “Jung Hyung Don’s Untitled TV”, where he reunited with his old “Infinite Challenge” partner after 11 years.
During the show, G-Dragon revealed he once called Jung Hyung Don while serving in the military, nearly in tears. Jung recalled the moment vividly:
“It was one of the most desperate calls I’ve ever received.”
G-Dragon admitted,
“That time in my life was seriously pathetic. I don’t think I’ve ever been that desperate before.”
The story dates back to a military leave when G-Dragon urgently called Jung, repeatedly saying “Hyung, hyung, hyung” in a flustered tone. He begged him not to hang up and asked if his senior officer, a huge fan, could hear Jung’s voice.
Jung added playfully,
“Celebrities usually hate those calls, but thanks to G-Dragon, I spoke to a soldier for the first time ever.”
“HyungYongDonJong” Reunited After 11 Years
The duo, famously known as HyungYongDonJong from their Infinite Challenge collaboration, had once won the Best Couple Award at the MBC Entertainment Awards for their legendary chemistry. Fans were thrilled to see them back together, and G-Dragon joked,
“You keep showing up in my algorithm. People must really love seeing us together.”
Behind the Scenes Banter
Their friendly banter continued as G-Dragon teased Jung about asking him for a video shout-out to a UFC fighter friend. Jung tried to defend himself, saying,
“That guy’s been training for over 10 years. I know how hard he’s worked.”
This heartwarming and humorous reunion highlighted not only their deep bond but also a more vulnerable, relatable side of G-Dragon—especially during his military days, a period fans rarely get to see behind the glamor.
