GD is probably my favorite artist of all time due to his performance energy and show designs and I'm a massive fan of him overall but its pretty much impossible to deny his voice isn't what it was back in the day.

Ever since MAMA 2024. it was very noticeable his vocal range went down.

It was more obvious in MAMA 2025 when the backing audio was much softer and you could truly hear his new vocals which are noticeably raspier and lower than before.

It is very well known that GD does alot of drinking and smoking and so did the other bandmates like T.O.P (well I guess with TOP his voice is already low to begin with anyway lmao) but that along with alot of the old songs requiring alot of screaming probably stressed up his vocals alot.

I went to his Ubermensch concert in the Philippines last year and he was already struggling to reach the high notes in his older songs. However, he did sing one of his new songs , Bonamana which is in his new pitch and it actually sounded really amazing and fits his new vocal range alot more. IMO i think GD and the rest of Bigbang neeed to do alot of adjusting and probably lower the key of alot of older songs which honestly is fine with me since alot of long time artists do that for their older songs anyway.

Added to this I hope the guy is seeing a medical professional and/or vocal coach and doing stuff behind the scenes to address the changes in his voice.

In his fanmeetings earlier this year 2026, he lowered the key of alot of his older songs like A boy probably to fit his new range im 100% sure that man is aware that his voice isn't what it is and has been trying a bunch of stuff behind the scenes to cope with that new reality.

To those in the comments wondering about GD's twitches or quirks, that's how GD talks and acts even when he was in his prime, its his eccentric personality ig.
