G-Dragon unveils music video dedicated to Elvis Presley

July 18, 2022

G-Dragon, leader of boy group BIGBANG, on Monday released a music video dedicated to Elvis Presley, known as “the king of rock and roll,” the group’s agency said.

The video uploaded on G-Dragon’s official YouTube channel showed him singing his own arranged version of “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” one of Presley’s most recognizable songs.

The Korean rapper-dancer weakly sang the opening lyrics in a low voice to the piano accompaniment but changed the song to a fast-tempo rock band backing track from the middle and finished it with a rough voice.

The video was directed by Baz Luhrmann who helmed “Elvis,” a U.S. biographical musical film that opened in South Korea on Wednesday, YG said.
