Spectacular Finale to 2024

In a spectacular finale to 2024, K-pop icon G-Dragon captivated audiences around the globe with his charismatic presence and electrifying performances.

Performances at the '2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon'

On December 25 (KST), G-Dragon took center stage at the highly anticipated '2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon', held at the Inspire Arena in Incheon. His stunning performance kicked off with a powerful 'Shake The World' VCR, leading into an unforgettable showcase of his new track ‘POWER’, alongside fan favorites like 'That XX' and 'Crooked'. Dressed in a vibrant Santa Claus-inspired ensemble complete with a striking red suit and uniquely styled ribboned shoes, G-Dragon wowed the audience with his bold fashion sense and undeniable stage charisma.

Festive Spirit Engaged Fans

The festive spirit was palpable as fans participated by donning ‘POWER’ caps, a thoughtful gift from G-Dragon himself, creating an atmosphere akin to receiving a Christmas present.

Generous Donations and Recognition

In addition to his dazzling performance, G-Dragon solidified his status as a beloved idol by topping the ‘My Santa Claus’ voting event on the Idol Pick app. His victory led to a generous donation of 100 million KRW (approximately 68,000 USD) to the Miral Welfare Foundation's child welfare program. G-Dragon humorously remarked about the honor, saying, “I thought it was a ‘Choi Ye-dol (Best Idol)’ award. Thank you for giving me this honor. I can’t believe you still see me as an idol (laughs). Thank you, everyone!” He expressed heartfelt gratitude to his fans, stating, “This was only possible because of you.”

Additional Contributions

But that wasn’t all—his agency later revealed that G-Dragon made a further contribution of 100 million KRW to the JusPeace Foundation, amplifying his positive impact even more.

Musical Achievements

G-Dragon's latest single, ‘HOME SWEET HOME’, released just a month prior, has dominated major domestic music charts, including Melon and Genie, for an impressive 33 consecutive days as of December 25. Furthermore, his powerful anthem ‘POWER’ continues to hold strong on the charts, further cementing his reputation as a digital music powerhouse.

Looking Ahead

As G-Dragon celebrates his musical achievements and philanthropic efforts, fans eagerly await his next steps, showing that the King of K-pop remains as influential and adored as ever.
