Singer G-DRAGON has proven his world-class status by creating another legendary stage.

On the 23rd (local time), G-DRAGON heated up the local scene by performing on stage at the French ‘Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event’ held at La Défense Arena in Paris at the invitation of French First Lady and Hospital Foundation Chairwoman Brigitte Macron.

G-DRAGON opened the event with a strong red flag engraved with the symbol of two people facing each other that appeared in the intro of the ‘POWER’ music video, and caught everyone‘s attention by appearing in a specially airlifted Chanel jacket embroidered with white camellias and a white hat. He created a powerful and energetic stage using red lights, pillars of flames, and dancers in red gowns, drawing an explosive response.

Next, a duet stage between G-DRAGON and Big Bang member Taeyang was performed, and the arena was filled with enthusiastic cheers from Parisian fans. As it was a representative charity event in France, he appeared in a dandy tuxedo outfit that had manners despite the splendor. He caught everyone’s attention with his styling of mint-colored hair, a black spangled jacket, and a red bow tie, and then he performed ‘HOME SWEET HOME’ and ‘GOOD BOY’ with Taeyang.

‘HOME SWEET HOME’, which has been consistently popular since its release in November of last year and topped domestic and international music charts, resonated throughout the arena, and the audience sang along to the lyrics of “HOME SWEET HOME” and cheered even louder. In addition, G-DRAGON and Taeyang decorated the finale with ‘GOOD BOY’, which is still talked about as a legend despite its release 10 years ago, giving fans a deep emotion and thrill.

Above all, the perfect stage that G-DRAGON and Taeyang presented together in France after a long time became viral on SNS until the official broadcast on the 28th (local time), allowing us to feel their global popularity.

G-DRAGON will be coming to the MBC entertainment program ‘Good Day’, joining hands with PD Kim Tae-ho. ‘Good Day’ is a music project in which G-DRAGON will complete the song of the year with people from various fields. The lineup is already receiving a lot of attention, with a splendid lineup including Jung Hyung-don, Hwang Jung-min, Kim Go-eun, Code Kunst, Kian84, chef Ahn Sung-jae, unit member Boo Seok-soon of the group Seventeen, and friends born in 1988, including Kim Soo-hyun, Jung Hae-in, Im Si-wan, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Kwanghee. ‘Good Day’ will first air on Sunday, February 16 at 9:10 p.m.
