The G-Dragon Buzz
G-Dragon's impact on fashion never ceases to amaze. A recent photo of the artist wearing acupressure slippers quickly went viral, sparking a wave of impulse purchases.
On November 4, a photo of G-Dragon wearing acupressure slippers on the set of his new music video for the song "Power" was shared on his secondary Instagram account. Despite their low price, the slippers became a fashion must-have thanks to G-Dragon's aura, making them instantly popular and selling out shortly after the photo was posted.
The slippers, normally sold for around KRW 10,000 (US$7), have seen their prices soar to nearly 17 times their original value on some online platforms amid the sudden demand.
On the same day, G-Dragon also made headlines when he appeared at Incheon International Airport, where he was heading to a Chanel fashion show in Hong Kong. He was seen arriving in a Tesla Cybertruck, a model that is still unavailable in Korea, further cementing his image as a fashion icon. He also wore a unique Chanel scarf, further cementing his status as a style icon.
Meanwhile, G-Dragon's new single "Power," released on October 31, has topped various music charts, confirming the artist's continued popularity. His fans are eagerly awaiting his upcoming performance at the 2024 MAMA Awards on November 23.
