Because Translation is apparently the PASSION IN MY LIFE

[o_srsly]

Took it to myself to translate some of the GQ interview of GD from Chinese to English.  Because I could not help noticing these parts (especially the third part) to be glaringly missing from the English translations currently available.

When will I know enough Korean to translate directly into English??? I am so afraid it will be NEVER.

Anyways, a

Thank you very much for translating this. I'm still amazed when I see people translating from chinese, because this language to me is very alien. Very hard!

Well, Chinese is my mother tongue and English my second (with Japanese being my third), so it is relatively easy for me. I felt that this portion of this interview really gives me some closure on the whole solo controversy/scandal/incident, and wanted the international fan comm to at least know that it exists...

Thanks for translating these! I wouldn't have known there are missing parts. How can they just leave these out in their English trans!

You're welcome!!

I don't know how they can do it either. If I didn't go check the Chinese subs, I would have been outright ignorant of these portions. Of course, then, there is the question of whether these were made up by the Chinese translator; but she is an experienced translator in Baidu, so I doubt she would jeopardize her own "career" for nothing.

Us international fans rely on subs and translations like no other, and sometimes it really pisses me off to see how so many things are left unsubbed in the VIP fandom.

thanks for translating this.

[How can the CEO just trust me with this?? (laughs) Sometimes, when I am at the company, the CEO walks over like this. (imitates YG’s voice) “Ya~ there are some good melodies here, you go fiddle around and fix it up before tomorrow~” He’ll just say that, as if he were saying, “Let’s go have food~”, with no particular urgency. Then I would, uh, well, because I am used to it, I would just work on it.]

this whole bit brought tears to my eyes. it's amazing that his attitude has not changed at all, it's just ingrained in him. and lol at how yg makes it sound like it's a fairly normal thing.

you're welcome! And yes, the thread youn linked me to is where the interview came from, I have no idea how so much can be left out of the English trans... *shrug*

I think that GD is, by now, completely used to being a workaholic...
