The reason why G-Dragon cast aespa’s Karina in his TOO BAD music video has finally been revealed!
On March 19, G-Dragon’s official YouTube channel released exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the MV shoot.
In the video, G-Dragon is seen working closely with the performance director and staff, personally coming up with ideas, planning the concept, and even overseeing the entire set.
During a production meeting, the team discussed the need for a female lead, saying, “The bridge part needs a female protagonist to create the feeling that things are going well.” G-Dragon admitted, “I don’t know who to cast either, but we definitely need a female lead.”
Then, without hesitation, he made his decision—“In my opinion, it has to be Karina.” This revealed that casting Karina was entirely his idea!
Later in the footage, Karina and G-Dragon’s first meeting on set was shown. Right from the start, the two displayed amazing chemistry, especially in their dance scenes.
G-Dragon even demonstrated movements himself, advising Karina, “You can strike multiple poses like this,” and she executed them perfectly, making the MV even more stunning.
G-Dragon expressed his gratitude, saying, “I know Karina must be really busy, so I truly appreciate her appearing in the music video. I’m personally a fan, and I hope aespa’s fans also enjoy watching it.”
Throughout the filming, G-Dragon stayed deeply involved in directing various scenes, once again proving his artistic vision.
He wrapped up by saying, “I hope everyone enjoys this a lot. Please show it lots of love and support—this is for you all.”
