Singer G-DRAGON will be participating in the French ‘Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event’.

According to his agency Galaxy Corporation, G-DRAGON will be performing on stage at the ‘Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event’ at the La Défense Arena in Paris on the 23rd (local time) at the invitation of French First Lady and Hospital Foundation Chairwoman Brigitte Macron.

This event is a charity event hosted by the hospital foundation ‘Yellow Coin Collection Charity Organization (Opération pièces jaunes)’ to build a hospital for children and raise funds for mental healthcare for teenagers. Here, G-DRAGON will participate as an artist representing K-POP and spread good influence.

This event is even more meaningful in that it is being held in France, where G-DRAGON has a deep connection. He was selected as the global ambassador for Chanel by legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld and has been active for nearly 10 years, contributing greatly to the exchange of fashion and cultural content between the two countries.

Furthermore, this concert is expected to be an oasis-like stage for European fans who have been eagerly awaiting G-DRAGON‘s live stage. Accordingly, the tickets for the ‘Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event’ sold out all 35,000 seats in just 10 minutes after opening, drawing attention.

G-DRAGON’s ‘Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event’ in France can also be seen on the local terrestrial channel France 2.

G-DRAGON swept domestic and international music charts with his digital single ‘POWER’ released in October of last year after 7 years and 4 months, and his new song ‘HOME SWEET HOME’ featuring Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung released in November.

As of the 19th, ‘HOME SWEET HOME’ has topped the Melon Daily Chart a total of 53 times, setting a record for the longest-running solo #1 streak. It has also maintained its steady popularity by topping the Melon Weekly Chart for 7 consecutive weeks (4th week of November 2024 - 1st week of January 2025). It proved its ‘global power‘ by ranking 15th on Billboard‘s Hot Dance/Pop Song chart.
